Found this place while searching for Franco's Flapjack Breakfast House. This business has replaced that location. The food at Off the 8 Cafe is AMAZING! Customer service was on point as well. We are traveling and will definitely stop by again before we leave town. read more

Stopped by for breakfast and the food and service was great. Very nice place to take your family or stop by on a road trip out of the area. Good options for food, definitely will be back. read more

First off, dog friendly patio. I have come to really like this little place. It has a family owned vibe, the servers are friendly, attentive and fast. The service here is top shelf. The food is simple and good. The ABC burger is solid and the salads are fresh tasty and good. The food overall is fresh with a pared down simple style. The plates, silverware and napkins are excellent quality which is a detail that is overlooked in lots of places. This is a good meal when you're hungry and well worth supporting. Is this a 5 star review, well no. The food is fresh and not pretentious so it may disappoint some, but I support good effort and I always leave satisfied. read more

Ate breakfast here today and the food and the service was very good! Good portions and very fairly priced for the amount of food you get. I got the steak and eggs and also an Oreo crepe and everything was fire! Our servers name was Abi and she was very nice and considerate to us constantly checking in and making sure we were always all good. Overall, great service from our server Abi and very good food with good portions at a fair price. read more

I ordered the sausage and egg meal from off the 8 cafe... waited 20 minutes and paid $15 for this "meal". Save your money and go somewhere else this is way over priced for little quantity read more

Cute breakfast spot! I've ordered French toast, pancakes, and every time I've gone they have fresh fruit, which is a big plus! We recently went in and they said they're going to be opening a ice cream shop in the same lot, they give us sample bars and they were so good! Can't wait to try the new spot read more

The food was wonderful. My husband had chicken fried steak w chicken as the meat, he loved it. I had my usual poached eggs, cottage cheese, my favorite. Prices and service is great. The owner Cynthia is wonderful, all of her servers are great. read more

I had heard they had great burgers as well as their breakfast offerings so gave it a try. I had a blue burger and the avocado was perfectly ripe, complimenting the blue cheese really well. The burger was also cooked exactly as requested. Probably could have saved a couple bucks eating at Carl's, next door, but a real meal, with excellent service, from a locally owned place makes the choice a no brainer. read more

Went here for a friend's birthday. I ordered a French toast and coffee and everything was delicious. Our server Abi was attentive and prompt. Will definitely be showing up again for brunch. read more

The service was incredible and food was great. Abi was such a sweet server! Will be coming again thanks to her!!

Just went to this restaurant for breakfast. Had to wit for table which was in the process of being cleared for us...we had been waiting 10 mins for the table. A car pulled into lot...4 people got out walked into the restaurant and were immediately seated I. The booth we had been waiting on. I asked the waitress to explain to me why we who had been w we airing for the table w we are not seated when these people had just pulled into the parking lot. She sheepishly said sorry and couldn't make eye contact with me. So so Terri let tacky and not good business practice. I will not be returning too this restaurant as this isn't the first time this happened. These people were not on a waiting list (there wasn't one) so terribly rude and tacky I. I could leave a zero for todays experience I would! read more

We love this place! Yummy food and cute little Restaurant. So many options it's hard to choose but I'm addicted to the potato's so usually get breakfast:) read more

Stopped by today with my son and wife for breakfast after church. It was busy but our server Abby was very helpful and attentive to us. Her recommendations were great! Good food with good prices and amazing service! Will definitely come back read more

We stopped for lunch and split the Blue burger. Medium rare. It came on a brioche bun with avocado. Melt in your mouth!!! Service was on point and the place had inside and outside dining. It was also full inside and outside so there might be a little wait. This was Sunday at noon so we expected it. We spoke with the server and she said it changed name and owner a little over a year ago. A previous server bought it from the previous owner. We like to support the local mom and pops so we will be happy to come back. read more

Fabian, the mimosas, the food, and the views from outside are amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed a Sunday Funday brunch here!

Excellent place for breakfast. Good vibe Good Food. I has their biscuits and gravy which is what they ate known for.

Super annoyed with this place. I live right down the street and decided to try it for the first time this morning. I ordered a sausage link burrito with country potatoes inside and a ham breakfast sandwich on sourdough. Got home only to find that I did not get what I ordered. My sandwich was on English muffin and I hate English muffins. The burrito has hash browns inside and I hate hash browns. The point of ordering pick up was so I didn't have to cook at home. Now I have tear my food apart and fix their F up. Probably will never go here again if they can't make a simple breakfast sandwich or burrito. read more

This place is great, fast service, delicious breakfasts. Honest pricing....it's been a great experience everytime.

I've liked the food here for a long time, but since the new ownership took over, it's even better!! They're are new menu items that are so good! The new owners have fixed the place up read more

The food is incredible and the staff are so thoughtful! I wish I had taken a picture of the food, but we just went for it as soon as it came out. We had the specials of the dulce de Leche French toast and the off the 8 skillet (topped with chorizo). Highly recommend both. We just had regular coffees, but when the waitress found out we were making the trip back to phoenix, she urged some coffee on the go. We also had our 2 year old and dog with us, so she was mindful to accommodate them as well throught the meal. read more

Excellent place! Would definitely go back. Got the house burrito. All fresh. You won't be disappointed! Friendly place and clean.

the food was great everything came out so fast and on Time are server Abi was wonderful and very helpful on options on what to eat very polite and respectful I recommend this place to a friend will be coming back soon read more

The food is great. I love the little outdoor seating. This place used to be Franco's and we visited often. We have been a few times since they switched to new owners. They are pretty busy for weekend breakfast and the service is decent. We had the chorizo Benedict which was very great. They give you three eggs which seems likes too much for a breakfast meal but is still very good. My husband had the chicken fried steak which is alway so yummy. Great job. Definitely a place to check out. read more

I came to try this place for the first time with my boyfriend, it was pretty busy but our server Abi was very patient and attentive to all our needs. She recommended us her favorite dishes and we loved everything we ordered! Even though it was busy and they seemed to be understaffed, she kept checking up on us which is very appreciated. Will definitely be coming back, new regular customers amazing service, and good food ! read more

We ordered the all meat omelette had a side of hashbrowns and a regular pancakes, and it was absolutely delicious... did not care too much for the roasted potatoes, but the hash browns were super good read more

We've thrived in Alpine for many yers, and now we are joyous to have such a treasure of a breakfast and lunch cafe! If you love home fries, ask for them extra crispy. Fantastic omelets, pancakes and waffles. Great hamburgers and various superb entree salads. Looking forward to when they open for dinner. read more

Went to eat here this morning. Initially the staff seemed very friendly. We were the first to arrive for the wait list. 3 groups arrived after us and were seated before us. As a business owner myself I find this incredibly disrespectful. I am happy to be patient and wait for my time in line. But to be disregarded in such a way not by just the staff but by the owner themselves. This review should be of no surprise to the owner as we explained their lack of respect toward a customer would be published on their reviews. We drove out of our way to try and support this small business which makes their condescension even more frustrating. Thus attitude with their team was essentially it is what it is. As a note our party consisted of a Navy veteran, a Marine combat vet, and 3 girls ages 13,13, and 7. read more

Food and service were excellent. Fair pricing and clean restaurant. Both myself and my grandson enjoyed our breakfast! Above expectations.

Went to eat breakfast here while visiting and I have to say it was better than I was expecting. I will say the cafe is on the smaller side but there is seating inside and outside as well. The food here is a little more on the pricier side but the portions are pretty generous. We got there at the perfect time as more people kept showing up. The servers were very busy but were very attentive and made sure we were enjoying our food & service throughout our visit. Despite it being pretty packed the food came pretty quickly and was very delicious. I ordered chocolate pancakes with hash brown & bacon, I would give the whole meal a 7.5 /8 out of 10. The pancakes were very delicious and cooked just right on the other hand the bacon and hash brown just wasn't the greatest. The hash brown tasted like it might've had freezer burn ? Not sure if they use fresh potatoes or not but the taste just wasn't very flattering. The bacon was okay just a little undercooked to my liking. Overall the service was very good and I would probably come back :) read more

The food was great but the service was EXCELLENT . Alli was our waitress and she made us feel like we had been regulars for years. We were in the area 2 days and she knew the next day that we wanted coffee with 1/2 & 1/2 while we waited for our kids to wake up. The support staff was also ver attentive. The ambiance was like a quaint diner. read more

We live nearby and love going here. It is reasonably priced, always have amazing service and they are very family friendly. The breakfast is usually great. I have never had lunch there. Their pancakes are MASSIVE. The only reason this is four stars instead of five is because the breakfast potatoes are too big so they end up losing a lot of flavor and the gravy was separated (meaning chunks of flour and milk were still separate and not cooked or mixed together). The biscuits are delicious!! I highly recommend this place and if you have any problems, they'll help you out! read more
