Frescafe - Chunky monkey pancakes my favorite. - American Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

This Brazilian treasure is the best. I always love talking with the ultra friendly staff and the food is so delicious. It's a quiet spot that offers a neighborhood friendly vibe! read more

Good food, service a bit too attentive and disjointed. One server fine, two fine, but three? The French toast was a bit undercooked, but the bacon and potatoes were very nice, and the coffee was great. Bad neighborhood, but one of the better breakfast joints in town. read more

Went with friends. Food was really fantastic and the coffee was good. The service tho, not mui bueno. The place isn't huge and has maybe 20 tables and a max capacity of 80 customers. It was somewhat busy, but not at max cap. We spent a total of 1.5 hours there from 1030a to 12p, which beat the post church rush. I'd say 30 mins of it was actually eating. The rest of the time was spent waiting, including a 5-10 min segway to have the food reheated after taking a long time to get it out. I'd give it a second try on a different day. read more

This will be my second review for this restaurant. This place has always been my go to brunch place on Sundays. I always order the same food, hash and eggs and it's always been consistent. The reason why they are losing one star is because hash and eggs usually comes with toast and home fries and today I wasn't feeling the home fries and asked if I can sub it with bacon and the waitress said sure no problem and that the bacon comes with this entree so I can have both. So I agreed, and when the bill came they had charged me $2.99 for a second of bacon. I didn't even feel like complaining about it because I wasn't in the mood to order however next time I just know not to believe when they say "bacon comes with it". read more

Coming from NJ this place gives me a very cozy diner-like atmosphere. Additionally this is my favorite place in framingham to come for breakfast. The French toast is amazing and any place that serves hot Italian sausage in a good omelet is a winner in my book. Definitely try the hot chocolate! read more

The presentation of the dishes is very good and the food is delicious and tasty. The service was fast and the temperature of the meal was on point. The place is comfortable and decor is pleasant. read more

You can expect satisfying hot food and prompt coffee refills at this impressive cafe. Reasonable pricing makes the delicious dishes even more palatable! (Highly recommend the breakfast potatoes; they are well-seasoned and not overly salted.) read more

Frescafe - Lovely pic on the walls - American Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

I have ordered sweet potatoes fries, and personalized omelet with French Toast. I always believed French toast was made with egg, cinnamon and vanilla extract ( which saw in recipe).. But what I had today didnt believe that that would be like this also... it was salty, it didnot taste like bread was dipped in egg and toasted. Rather it tasted like butter was melted on it and toasted.. Sweet potatoes should be sweet ... I guess so... but this was salty again and no taste in it..( just salty). I ordered omelet with veggies and grilled chicken. But the chicken I tasted in the omelet isn't fresh. Didn't have another bite. The food was a waste.. The lady at the counter is not American by her slang... i went to many American food restaurants before ... no one ever said to me but here I was told that my language is not clear .. it will be if hears it ‍... right? Not worth for a meal ... not sure I would ever return to this place again.. read more

I gave it a 1 star because I couldn't select 0 (zero!). Let me see how I can describe this horrible experience...first I went there with my family including my parents (6 people in total!) because we were celebrating my birthday. As we sat down, the server came to bring coffee. The coffee was super watery and tasted like hot city water. Secondly, I along with my son ordered orange juice. When the orange juice arrived it was watery and had a particular taste of rotten oranges at the end. I told my husband to take the juice to the counter and the other lady there brought the juice after supposedly she had shaken the juice because it was recently put in the machine and she said she was Brazilian so she didn't know about OJ(not sure about that because I have many Brazilian friends whom know what an OJ should taste like!). I tasted the juice in front of her and this time it did taste rotten and I told her to bring me soda instead. I ordered A Pepsi and a Ginger Ale for my son and even the soda was bad (didn't have much soda in it). I ordered a Nutella and fruit french toast and my son ordered the Smore's pancakes which supposedly came with marshmallows and chocolate chips. My son's Smore's pancakes were not cooked entirely so they tasted like raw dough and there wasn't any marshmallows to be seen, the taste was horrible to say the least! I had to give my son part of my plate which also wasn't good in order for him to eat at least something. My french toast, the berries and fruit was still frozen (they don't use fresh fruit and apparently the frozen kind they don't even thaw them before serving!!!). My husband, father and mother had omelettes. The taste and quality was little to desire and my daughter ordered the Almond Joy french toast and the quality and taste of it was horrific as well, she ended only eating part of it. When my mother finished I told my husband to take care of the bill(I didn't want to protest or make any remarks about the food because I didn't want my husband to feel bad for taking me to this restaurant for the first time for my birthday. So I walked out with my family to the car and when my husband got to our car he told me that the server had told him that she had forgotten to tell us at the beginning before ordering that they charge an automatic whopping 18% Tip for parties of 5 people or more!!!! What??? !!! Thank God for them I had walked out to the car and didn't stay with my husband to take care of the tab they would've heard a piece of my mind! Not only was the service not worth even a 15% let alone an 18% specially when the food was of low quality and horrible taste and rotten juices etc. etc!! I will NEVER Visit this place again and I will tell everyone including my family and friends to NOT GO! Horrible!!! Our tab was $94 including the 18% tip (which they enforced without letting us know before ordering!!!) I have never had to write a review before but I just thought that this experience warranted to be shared, people BEWARE! These people are crooks in disguise DO NOT GO HERE!!! We should have known better when we got there and the place was empty on a Sunday morning. Even Denny's is way way better than this place and that says a lot! read more

Frescafe - American Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

Amazing avocado and tomato egg Benedict. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Well worth the trip!!!

Great food, friendly staff and big tables. I'm recommending it to everyone who is looking for a brunch place in downtown Framingham area.

I usually grab take out from their Natick location, but this weekend, my family and I went to eat in their Framingham restaurant. Service was G R E A T...friendly, accurate and relaxed. We enjoyed one of their light and sweet Belgium waffles which was big enough to share. An order of eggs benedict did not disappoint and the eggs were poached hard, and the sauce served on the side, as requested. It was a very pleasant brunch and we'll go back. read more

The food for breakfast was delicious!! However, I'm pulling a star because something was happening with the service when we came. There were several guys in the kitchen, at least 3 waitresses, and not a full house. But our food took 45-50 mins to come out (after I complained after waiting for 40 minutes). I think the wait staff was waiting too long to enter our food orders. But I hope they fix this next time because their food was great, the location was convenient, and the price was good too. read more

I live within walking distance to Frescafe and was happy to give a local business a try this morning. Three menu pages of breakfast options -- really impressive for a small independent restaurant! Lots of omelet choices, in addition to the standards plus waffles & French toast. Julia's French toast (stuffed chocolate chip) was DELICIOUS! And the portion size was huge! Easy to see why their French toast is so popular! If they were in another location, they could probably get $10+ for this, but it was only 8 bucks. I wish I didn't have a food intolerance (banana) or I'd love to try the chunky monkey (pancakes, I think) -- banana, walnuts, Nutella! The staff was friendly & service prompt. Also, they've done a good job with the decor. A storefront place like this could easily look awkward, dated, and/or dirty, but it's clean, simple, nice. I'll definitely go back. read more

Yelp said they were open at 7am. Walked up at 7:56am, sign said they were open at 8am. Now it's 8:15am and the doors aren't open. Disappointing. The reviews mad it look like it would have been a good place to eat breakfast. Bye. read more

I brought my son here for breakfast since the line at J&M was gigantic on a Saturday morning. I heard about this place but was concerned about parking. We found parking a couple blocks away and was surprised to find that we were the 2nd and third customers sitting down. One very pleasant waitress managed the front of the restaurant, which be came more busy as we finished our breakfast. I had the Irish Benedict and the corned beef hash can rival J&M!! My son had the m&m pancakes and could not finish. There is a special board in the back with some yummy suggestions for our next visit. The menu is diverse and has something everyone. Looking forward to bringing the rest of the family back to support a local business. read more

We were a group of 7 who waiting half an hour to get drinks, then another half an hour to get food. The waitress kept asking us if we were ready to order, we said YES! and she would respond "Oh Ok, I'll come right back." (WTF?!) and the icing on the cake was that one of people from the party got a bagel sandwich with a long hair on it. We asked to replace the sandwich and it was the same sandwich with the hair removed. No apology, no refund. We will never come back. We were fooled by the yelp reviews. read more

Abundant choices of breakfast. Great service and great location. Would recommend to friends

So good! Stopped here on our way back home to CT and I am so glad we did. I ordered the meat lovers omelette and it was delicious!!! Filled with sausage bacon and cheese. It filled me up so much that I didn't eat for the rest of the day. My boyfriend got an omelette too and we split the child's version of French toast. It was delicious and filling with decent service. I would go back! read more

Great to finally see a breakfast spot in downtown Framingham. Decent food- awesome fruit cup, disappointing hollandaise. I'll definitely go back, but not for a Benedict. read more

Great blueberry pancakes. Will move on to the next round of best breakfast stops near my place. Next will try omelette home fries action!

The breakfast food here is just so yummy! I live in Framingham and I always wanted a good breakfast place to go to right downtown. It took me a while to actually stop in but Im glad that I did. The town opened up a big public parking lot right across the street so finding parking is no longer an issue. I love eggs benedict, this place did not disappoint. The hollandaise sauce is my favorite kind (savoury not sour) and they keep coming back to refill your cup of coffee. I like my coffee piping hot - this was a huge plus for me. The prices are very reasonable. Less then $5 for 2 eggs, toast & homefries. Cant beat that! Im giving it a full 5 stars for taste, value & being the only full American breakfast menu offered in Framingham center. Unless you prefer a Brazilian pastry for breakfast- There is literally no competition. read more

Fun, clean, and extensive menu selection. Friendly staff. Reasonable and inventive. From basic eggs and toast to unique and creative omelets. Great breakfast and luncheon selections. Parking on street or behind the building. read more

Outstanding independent restaurant with some of the best homemade corned beef hash I've ever had! Crispy to perfection. A lovely, friendly atmosphere perfect for families or individuals looking for a great good experience. The owner personalized the visit and made sure my breakfast was perfect. Will be back next time I'm in Framingham! read more

Decent breakfast. Not the best I've had, but not many choices in the framingham area. Good prices. You have every waiter / waitress waiting on you which is nice. Not sitting on top of each other which is a plus. read more

Visited this place recently and it was terrible. Service was super slow and it wasn't busy. I had an omelette and it was mediocre at best. Had a side pancake and it was raw inside. Coffee tastes like water. Will not be back! read more

Hubby and I both got omelettes (a steak bomb and meat lovers), we both substituted the American cheese that came on them for something better (several options to pick from), and he got an extra egg in his. The meals were huge. We don't eat bread (but there were several options there, too), so lots of breakfast meals end up being kind of small. Not here. Would go again. read more

Good food and great service. It's hard to mess up breakfast so it really comes down to the menu and service. They have a wide selection of breakfast food and their service was great. I got the chunky monkey pancakes which is banana Nutella and walnut. read more

I visit this place regularly with a friend and we both love this place. I do not eat meat but egg and veggies and I always find their veggie omelettes yummy. They have good variety of vegetarian omelettes with lot of options of vegetables to include. read more

So the food here was relatively good. It was very quiet for a Saturday morning. The only thing is, while the service wasn't bad, the waitress was very cold, never introduced herself, and never spoke unless spoken to. Felt very bizarre. read more

Just visiting from New Jersey. Our first choice was too crowded. My son Yelped this little treasure. Great food. Bacon was perfect. Pancakes were sublime. I wish I had more reasons to travel to Framingham just so I could eat here. read more

I have been here twice now, once for breakfast and once at lunch. Breakfast was amazing and the omlettes amazing. Recently went for lunch and had a veggie wrap that was fantastic. It easily could have been boring but was well seasoned. My daughter had a chicken quesadilla that was delicious. Again, well seasoned chicken and a good balance of cheese. Definitely will be back. read more

If you love waffle with fresh fruit, DO NOT GO TO THIS restaurant. They use frozen fruit, really ! The fresh strawberry and blueberry are not expensive Moreover, they charge us for full size of waffle while we order only half size HORRIBLE, NOT RECOMMEND IT! read more

Been going there for some time now. Food is good and the prices are average. My friends like it also ( used to go to Sunny Side in Ashland ), but we like Frescafe better. Had various items from Shrimp Scampi omelet ( yummy ), Ruben Sandwich ( they offer it with lettuce ,tomatoes, sauerkraut, dressing), order mine without lettuce/tomatoes, to me, that does not belong on a Ruben ( very good ). Had also the regular eggs Benedict a few times,good, but it needs more Canadian bacon. Went in the other day for a Ruben and a poached egg with hollandaise. Ruben was good, but the egg was sitting in a water puddle and the sauce in its own little dish , tasted very watery. Our waitress was very nice and remembered what I like to drink, from the last time I was there. read more

Visited the Natick location on Sunday morning. Disappointed in service. Very poorly managed restaurant. No manager or owner were on site and waitstaff was clearly over whelmed with the Sunday morning rush. Kitchen was slow getting the basic meals (oatmeal) out to its customers. After waiting 45 minutes and no sign of our food we got up and left. All the tables around ours were experiencing the same issue. To make matter worse, our waiter was ignoring our requests for service. When told that we were leaving he asked us to pay for our coffee. Really....... Beware if there are more than 5 cars in the parking lot, plan on waiting for a long time to get your food. I wish I could have done a review on the food, but we never had a chance to try it and probably never wIll. read more

This place has horrible customer service - the pregnant waitress has an attitude and when we went in there to eat and requested another waiter - we were assigned to her in spite. They cater more to their Brazilian customers and speak Brazilian Portuguese in front of everyone which is down right rude! I will never go in there again!! read more

Prices are good,food is ok. Service is ok, but we've never been told our server's name in the few time we've eaten here. Our orders have been brought to us wrong on two separate occasions as well. And the atmosphere is kinda off. J&M is much better. read more
