Fàme Caffe

Favorite brunch in Phoenix.
I love the order up register and the at home feel of the place.
From breakfast to lunch there are so many delicious choices.
My faves are the petite madame and the quiche

This place got a complete 180 makeover from the last coffee joint.
The food is fabulous and the fresh squeezed orange juice is to die for! The Carmel latte with a dust of cinnamon on top is a must try.

Met some friends here for brunch. We got real lucky as we were a party of 12 and the big community high top had cleared just as we got there. The concept is fast casual and you move through the line pretty quick even on a busy Saturday. The black iced tea was OK. I had the Croque Madame. It looks deceptively small when plated but it was very filling and being made with 9 grain bread it made for a more relaxed eating pace, I loved it. I also got to try the breakfast wrap and it was good too. One of our party got an egg that was still clear and it was immediately cleared and a new plate brought out in short order. The owner/​manager? came back twice to make sure their second try was acceptable. The servers were also the bussing staff and whatever else needed attention and it worked smoothly. The patio is dog friendly.

My friend and I stumbled upon Fáme Caffe while driving down Central and decided to stop in for breakfast.
I loved the look and décor of the restaurant. The outside seating area where we sat is lined with herb planters which separate you from the parking lot. It is counter service so I’m glad it wasn’t extremely busy when we were there.
Everything on the menu sounded pretty great and I finally decided on the Parisian omelette which came with a side of fruit (served in a mini mason jar!) and bread. I noticed the pomegranate sangria and it looked amazing but I opted for a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, also served in a mason jar! The OJ was fresh and delicious! The omelette was good but a little dry. The portion I thought was a great size, not small but also not over the top big.
Overall I probably wouldn’t go back for the omelette but perhaps if I’m in the area I’ll stop in and try the sangria.

Super cute industrial design inside.
Family-​friendly (and just plain friendly in general).
Nice patio (for when it’s not 110+).
Great location — we can walk across the street from St. Francis, and you’re close to some other cute businesses.
A pretty varied menu, including lots of hot and cold options. We liked everything we tried: chorizo burrito, breakfast sandwich, yogurt & granola bowl, pastries, and French toast.
I love that they sell mimosas and bloody Mary’s.
Prices are pretty reasonable.
One complaint: they don’t really have specialty tea drinks for us non-​coffee drinkers. They were nice enough to make us tea lattes, even though it wasn’t on the menu, but they weren’t great. To coffee shops everywhere: please start making matcha drinks!
Even with that, I’ll happily go back to Fame again and again.

Best crouqe madame in the city, paired with the absolute best french fries that I’ve ever discovered. The chef explained the french fry process to me which he articulated has if an artist describing the process of his latest masterpiece.
If for no other reason I recommend individuals try this aesthetically will put together breakfast and lunch nook for the fries, crispy exterior with a smooth delicate center. These guys are knocking it out of the park, unfortunately I can’t get past the fabulous French, (crouqe madame).
The only downside if any was a young lady who I assume is a server with pigtails and glasses seemed a little frustrated when I entered to order food at 20 minutes until closing, she made a point to look at the clock when I was standing at the register, when I asked if there was enough time to dine she said «yeah you got 20 minutes».

I decided to give Fa-​me a second tried and boy was I impressed! First time I went was on opening day so I think I should have cut them more slack (sorry Fa-​me). My main complaint was the ingredients. This time i could taste the freshness and quality of their ingridients, from the eggs to the coffee, veggies etc. i will definitely be a regular here. I normally don’t go out for breakfast because i had not found a restaurant that makes delicious breakfast with the same quality of ingredients I use at home. I guess I will be spending less time in the kitchen on the weekends.

Came back to give Fame another try, now that it’s well and open! It’s still as lovely looking and I still gravitate to their open patio/​bar seating.
Decided I wanted breakfast for lunch (breakfast served all day) and got pancakes, side of sausage and a small iced latte. Though price point is a bit steep here, the quality of food and service is spot on. The pancakes were perfect and my ideal pancake! Three, thick, fluffy with a slight crisp edge and a lovely buttery flavor. Served with maple syrup and of course I got a little more butter on the side. I did not find the sausage to be fitting for the price $ 3 for a sausage link cut in half, it was definitely different from a typical uncased breakfast sausage and more akin to a Chinese Sausage in texture and milder in flavor. The latte was pretty good as well.
Service here makes you feel appreciated and welcome with constant checking in and greetings. Great food and solid coffee! I’m kicking myself because I want to try more of their breakfast menu, definitely drawn in at this point. Plus, for them to understand that breakfast any time of day is appropriate are people who know what they’re doing! Haha! They serve more than just breakfast, they serve sandwiches, juices, pastries and coffee. Wi-​Fi is decent here and outlets are located along the perimeter of the café except for at the patio/​bar area. Can’t wait to be back!

The essence of brunch is rooted in relaxation and escape, you’ve worked long all week and you just need to, as Tom Haverford and Donna would say on Parks and Rec: «Treat yo self». But recently brunch has become a fight-​for-​your-​right to that semi-​early escape — becoming a stressor in itself, waiting anxiously and impatiently (sometimes, if not always, in the heat) for delicious food. Fame can be brunch without the drama.
I walked right up to a counter, ordered the Croque Madam, and after a reasonable amount of time, enjoyed my ham-​gouda-​sunny side up sandwich with the breeze of the rare and coveted 75 degree weather in my face. My only complaint was the gouda was slightly burnt and the prices are a bit high but paired with the delicious Toddy iced coffee, I didn’t mind too much.
I’ve always passed Fame because it is within walking distance of Lux, a nearby café that’s a popular spot to work and hang out; with a crowded hipster vibe I try to frequent it on an as-​needed basis only. By contrast, Fame is a nice alternative, it seeks to provide a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere where you can enjoy good food and drinks without the worry. Could this be a Phoenix café rivalry in the making? Oh yeah!

First off, don’t get the chocolate croissant! It was burnt, dense and so stiff! It may have killed chocolate croissants for me it was so bad!
Otherwise, the coffee was solid. The Croque Madame was delightful, and pretty much everything comes with a bit of side salad which at times are random (my friend got some with biscuits and gravy. Whaa?). The portions are a bit on the small side for the pricing but hey, it’s a hip joint, man.
I gotta say, even if I didn’t get a brownie — those are the lamest brownies I’ve ever seen! It’s like they took a good size brownie and cut it into 3 layers. Each layer is like 4 bucks! They need to fix that baked goods area, no doubt.

Where do I start… Sunday afternoon it was pouring rain and we all know that it’s rare for it to rain in AZ.
My girlfriends and I decided to have brunch at Fame. I couldn’t wait to taste everything on the menu…
First things first… you have place an order before you can be seated so if your going to have a large group you need to have someone get there early to place everyone’s order.
As our group trickled in each one of us had to wait in line to place an order. We had a nice waitress who let all of us be seated as she took our orders…
Let’s get to the food… aghhhhhhhh I wanted to love this place, I really did… but when I ordered the Huevos Rancheros… it was a soupy mess. Look I get it… everything is organic. I love organic but I know organic taste good. This didn’t taste remotely good. It was bland and the tortillas were hard and cold. The egg was cold! I hate hate, hate cold eggs…
Still hungry I reached over to my girlfriends plate to try her French toast… what the @%#%…it was dry… DID I CRACK A TOOTH…
I took one for the team and didn’t complain… I just continued to eat hoping it would get better.
As I’m washing down this meal with an blood orange mimosa which by the way was so tart everyone on the table had to add a package of sugar to it. YES… THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE THAT I EVER HAD TO ADD A PACKET OF SUGAR TO A MIMOSA!!!
Okay… so the vanilla honey latte was amazing and so was the bacon.
I actually place another order for bacon…
Look people love this place… maybe it was a bad day considering it was pouring outside.
Food should make you feel good and warm your soul…
Fame just didn’t do it for me… a quick latte, a muffin and scone. I’ll show up but for brunch I’ll pass…

This place was the cutest! Very hipster-​California-​coffee-​shop feel, in a great way. Awesome outdoor seating and really cool wooden benches/​tables inside!
The food was delicious, we split a Mexican chorizo breakfast burrito and a oatmeal with fresh fruit. (Too much food). Both were delicious, the chorizo (which I believe they source locally?) was out of this world.
Also ordered iced coffee and a fresh grapefruit juice; juice was served in a mason jar– so cute.
They have a parking lot which was helpful! The guy taking our order (owner, maybe?) was SUPER nice, didn’t rush us, and offered suggestions when we were trying to figure out what to order. He Clearly takes pride in the place!

Overrated.
The «breakfast wrap» AHEM aka breakfast burrito was really bland. The potatoes inside were slightly undercooked and the reddest grease I’ve ever seen was everywhere. The burrito, sorry… breakfast wrap… fell apart, which is always annoying getting all those ingredients on your hands; especially the grease.
$ 8+ for a glorified breakfast burrito, that is not executed well, is lame.
The chai was average. If you love chai, checkout the Refuge Café not too far away.

Hubby, baby and I stopped by for an unplanned bfast this morning and stopped by here due to the Unilocal reviews,
The café is very cute, clean and the décor is pleasant. There are lots of plants, herbs and spices. Some of the décor was very cleaver, like the egg crates arranged on the ceiling like art.
I hesitated on whether to give this place a 3 or 4… I’d say a 4 on ambiance and location a 3 on service and food. At this price point, you’d expect something other than counter service. Breakfast with coffee is about $ 15 per person give or take. The food was just ok. I had the Parisian and it was $ 11 (coffee another 4 – 5). It’s an egg white omelette with gruyère, mushrooms, caramelized onion and spinach. It’s obvious they use butter, which is great, however my omelette was VERY greasy, not what you expect with egg whites (luckily I LOVE butter or I would have sent this back). The onions were also not caramelized, they could have been cooked longer. The bread served with breakfast was the great! Crusty and fresh, I kind of wanted to buy a loaf. My daughter ate the fruit and she have them two baby thumbs up! My hubs had the bfast sandwich and was not impressed. NOT that it was bad, just nothing special, nothing stood out. The coffee is self serve and was ok. I’ve had better coffee at Merci and other bfast locations with similar set-​ups.
I think this place may be worth it if I’m in the area, but if we are planning ahead, we would likely pick somewhere else.

Delicious! Delicioso! Délicieux!
Chalk this one down as a first for me. A neighborhood café serving a mixture of American, Mexican, and French (!!!) breakfast and lunch items. All the while sourcing everything organically and almost entirely locally. Yup, i was an intrigued as you are. So I ventured here on Saturday morning near their 8am opening to see for myself.
Fame occupies what used to be just your average neighborhood coffee house (Java Café). Ivan and Maria O’Farrill have since turned this prime spot on Central & Highland into an indoor/​outdoor restaurant and café with beautiful wooden accents throughout the entire space. There’s plenty of seating (probably enough for about 100) but the space is still intimate and cozy enough without being too crowded. Order at the front counter here whether dining in or taking out. Be warned as the display case with fresh baked pastries will tempt you greatly while you wait in line to give your order. As this is the first breakfast spot in Central Phoenix where I’ve found french breakfast items, I went with the Croque Madame this go around. I also got a small cup of their house made berry parfait. Total cost including water and tax came to about $ 17. I grabbed a seat at one of the stools at the indoor/​outdoor bar table that faces north along Central Avenue since the morning weather was ideal.
Food came out in about 5 minutes. So here’s the lowdown on the Croque Madame. Two slices of toasted multigrain bread (sourced from Noble Bread, a local Phoenix bakery), with ham in the middle (and lots of it), gruyère cheese on top (again, lots of it), a sunny side up egg and a side of fresh greens. But the secret sauce here (literally) is the the béchamel sauce that drenches this dish. Basically its a white sauce made from butter, flour, and milk that is used on a variety of french dishes. Oh my heavens was this awesome. It almost eats like a ham & cheese sandwich, but much richer. Almost as if you were dipping cured ham in a cheese fondue. Its that gooey and rich (and delicious). For the berry parfait, it was served in what almost looks like a candle jar and included a berry mixture, greek yogurt, honey, granola, and nuts. Much bigger portion than I would’ve expected for the «small» size. Made for a nice light and fruity contrast with the richness of the Madame.
Fantastic breakfast and one that shall be repeated again in the not to distant future. They also have a decent looking lunch menu with a nice array of beer and wine options to boot. On weekends they have some special brunch items including a short rib enchilada dish that caught my attention. And the pastry case will likely be impossible for me to say no to going forward. So yes, Fame is legit and full of promise. The ambiance and the food are full proof. Even, apparently, if you’re a French expat.

I have been here twice now and both times I have loved it! First time was just a for a quick coffee on their very cute open patio/​bar area (which is dog friendly, they even have water bowls out for them). The restaurant has a cute farm to table ambiance. The egg cartons on the ceiling are a great conversation starter!
Second time was for brunch on a Sunday. The parking lot was a little full, luckily the restaurant was busy but not too busy. We had to wait in line to order but we found a table without any issues. Service is fantastic and prompt. And food is delicious! This visit I had the huevos rancheros (which I have never had before), they were very good but I didn’t have anything to compare them to. We ordered Flat Whites to drink (which weren’t on their menu) and they completely accommodated us.
I can’t wait to come back to try some of the other items on the menu (looking at you parisian omelette) and bring my dog.

Walking distance to this gem!
When moving to the ‘hood I fantasized of mornings off work– walking to this little café and sitting in the sunshine reading a book with a latte.
My fantasy has become reality and I’ve been fortunate enough to frequent this café a handful of times. The coffee bar is lovely and the barista is a doll!
I’ve tried the banana pancakes, and the breakfast sandwich with avocado once and once with bacon. The pancakes are bomb and I recommend the avocado. They undercook their bacon so it’s one chewy greasy gross mess. Next time I will get something else or request it crispy. They use brioche for the bread of the sandwich– yum!
They always have fresh flowers and the patio is dog friendly with a bike rack!

Went here for breakfast and had an egg sandwich with avocado. I thought the food was overpriced and it was very bland. The only dish that everyone liked was the Chorizo wrap.

Love this place! Perfect coffee and absolutely the nicest staff! Omelettes are spot on! The French toast looked amazing but I wasn’t as impressed. Oatmeal is awesome also. Could sit and enjoy for
Hours! I like the location next to the light railway.

Amazing food and great service! Delicious and healthy. Made fresh so you won’t have any health issues eating here. I’m particular with what I eat, but this place was great. The staff is so friendly and the owners are very pleasant. If you want food cooked properly with excellent service, this is the place! Pa. You have to see Tuey, she is amazing! So sweet and real! Excellent

Quaint place. Very busy. I had the FáMe omelet and my daughter had the Greek yogurt with fruit and honey.
The omelet was surprisingly small given the price. The scallions listed on the menu board were really just a shaving on top. The outside of the omelet had a great texture and was velvety. No idea how that’s done, very impressed. Inside the omelet was kind of a mess. Lots of water meaning the tomatoes were not cooked/​cooked enough and thus the heat caused them to «water out» the entire inside of the omelet. Bummer. The ham was perfectly cubed which leads me to believe it’s just restaurant style cubed ham and not something local. $ 9.95 for an omelet, especially at this size could still be successful when *excellent ingredients* are used and prepared correctly. It didn’t really explode with taste. Not a terrible omelet but a real let down. The bacon included was medium grade supermarket bacon that was almost too moist, meaning it’s pre cooked and kept in a steamer. The Fry’s Black Label I buy tastes much better to me. Why not just cook it to order?
The $ 9 jar of Greek yogurt, honey and berries was nice. The berries were fresh BUT no one bothered to de-​stem/​core the strawberries. My culinary training consists of 4 years of Jack in the Box and even I
Know that strawberries, like apples, pears, etc NEED TO BE CORED. Outside of this it was quite nice. Refreshing.
The staff was super nice. Kudos for that. A bad/​lackluster meal can be upped a star for good service and smiling, knowledgable staff. Hence the 3^rd star.
In all, I’d be willing to come back. I personally think my omelets are every bit as good, if not better (though the outer texture of the FáMe omelet was sublime), and for the price, disappointing in execution and portion size. The ownership might want to have breakfast at Luci’s and take some notes.
Hopefully next time things will be better. I really want to like this place.

I was thoroughly impressed with the staff here. Everyone was incredibly friendly and personable. Having a pretty sensitive diet has been difficult to deal with while both traveling and going out to eat. The two ladies that went through the entire menu with me this morning singlehandedly improved my trip to visit my family. I appreciate the time they took to help me find vegan breakfast options!
The food was fresh and very flavorful. The sautéed veggies I got were amazing and reminded me of the farm fresh dishes I make back home in Portland. My mom mentioned the French Toast being unique in an unexpected manner, but tasty nonetheless.
As far as the atmosphere goes, fantastic job guys. Such an adorable place. I’d definitely be a regular here if I still lived in the state.

I came in here for a quick and healthy bite before a meeting next door! It was exactly what the doctor ordered. Delicious iced tea, one of the best beet salads that i’ve ever had, wifi, and a wonderful ambiance! I also ordered the potato leek soup and wasn’t the biggest fan so I probably wouldn’t order that again but I will FOR SURE come back for the beet salad! Their farm-​to-​table concept is fantastic and seems to be all the rage these days! I highly recommend stopping in here for a healthy breakfast or lunch if you are in the area!

This is an awesome spot! I’ve always driven by this place and wondered if it was worth stopping in and it definitely is. The girl at the counter was very helpful and polite and the breakfast burrito that I ordered was very good. I like the ambiance of this place and the location so I’ll be coming in quite often.

It is a quiet winter morning on a weekend in the desert. The sun outside unfolds through hints of cloud and crisp, refreshing air. Before me rests a mug, two books, a pen. Lifting my eyes, a window opens out to frame the waking human world with all its anxious human pulse.
Service here is slow, but not unkind. I blame it on the numbers in this spacious public house — we the crowd of hungry/​thirsty travelers, we the sound of words and thoughts that fill it to the rafters. Twisting my neck I see that nearly every seat is filled.
Before too long a plate of food arrives and perches just beside me to the left. On it rests an omelet, a clutch of moist potatoes, and reclining halves of toast. A thin film of steam arises from the egg as from my mug. Breathing through the nose, I almost taste it.
Visitors shift past me as I slowly raise a bite. A body ruffles edges of the jacket on my back in apologetic passing. The omelet neatly cut now offers view of steaming contents: wet strings of melted cheese, warm squares of tomato, folded egg, and pebbled scallions.
The first bite to the last is wrapped in silence, slow breathing, an unpredicted hum of satisfaction. Alternating samples of the toast prove omelet’s equal. Another sip of coffee. A stranger exits, smiling. Soon the plate is empty but for scraps.
BACKGROUND
Fàme Caffe has been calling to me for well over a year now. Sadly, our schedules have refused to sync up until today. I entered Fàme with more than a years’ worth of pent up anticipation, and left without the meagerest complaint.
Everything from atmosphere to service to the food was registered a win. In passing, the Caffe seems small and unassuming. Upon entrance, one can’t help but be impressed by use of space. Tall ceilings, plentiful seating, and a healthy hum of activity draws you in.
The menu is surprisingly extensive with primarily health-​conscious options. The food does not disappoint. Somewhat restricted hours equal longer lines and greater congestion than other options, but the experience of this place is distinctly worth the wait.
Fàme inspires a sense of community and of awareness. Come prepared to stay a little while. Come prepared to eat healthy for a fair price. But do come. You won’t be disappointed. I know I’ll be back — my spirit and my taste buds have assured me. ;)
IMPORTANT NOTE
I have confirmed that Fàme is, in fact, pronounced Fah-​May. This was a source of some confusion for me up until this morning.
CONCLUSION
Don’t miss this hidden gem. Check the hours, work out the scheduling of it, then come by for some really great eats and an inspiring ambiance. The team will likely be busy attending to guests, but they’ll be sure to make you feel at home.
Fàme Caffe Crew: thank you for the hard work you put in every day. Thank you for the outstanding food and wonderful service, and for creating such a beautiful space and spirit. It’s noticed, and it’s appreciated. I hope to see you all again very very soon. :)

My only warning: they’re closed on Mondays.
The atmosphere is terrific. The repurposed boards on the walls, the crazy light fixture over the communal dining table, even the egg crates on the ceiling are all terrific.
I ordered a bacon/​avocado burger an absolutely loved it. Even the fries were terrific. My friend ordered the croque madame (madame because it comes with an egg) and while he didn’t share, he did say it was terrific as well.
Looking forward to finding an excuse to go back for breakfast sometime soon.

Today was my fourth time at Fáme. This is a really great caffe.
The first time I visited was just for coffee and juice with a friend. Fresh pressed veggie juice. The owners chatted with us for a moment. They were new. It was nice to see that they are genuinely local and care about their place, their people, their service, and their food.
The quality of food is wonderful and this is a very comfortable community gathering place with friendly service.
I love Fáme so much because it contributes to the Uptown Central Phoenix neighborhood as a whole. Good, local, quality. :)

Semi-​fast casual breakfast, lunch, and brunch place. The food is amazing quality, touting organic options, mostly locally sourced, vegetarian and gluten free possibilities. I had the French toast (the top seller) which was a locally prepared hard French bread dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar with a citrus glaze, dipped in maple and a side of fruit. The last had the heirloom tomato (caprese) salad topped with bright flowers.
The high point aside from the great flavor and freshness was the presentation. One wouldn’t expect it from such a casual affair (which has high rolling lawyers and even the Mayor of Phoenix dining on occasion.)
The low point is the portion size which isn’t huge but don’t let this deter you because where quantity only slightly lacks, the quality makes up for it quickly.
The owner is a super genuine and nice guy and the staff is happy to help and informative. One of the best local spots we’ve been to in a while.

Its Ok, we had Omelets to go, Not sure i liked them. They had everything falling out of them .
I asked for cheese in them and I could barely find it. I will admit the Bacon was Great. Ill give it another try.

We were on the hunt for a hipster-​y trendy café and we found one!
The food was good, and average priced. The coffee was good, too.
The woman serving me was so friendly and sweet and wanted to know all about Canadian coins (I was visiting from Canada) and we had a long talk about it, which I found endearing.
The juice tasted very yummy and it was sweet, the french toast was DELICIOUS. Food comes quick, too.
Cute place.

Great breakfast spot. Lots of interesting options for your meal and several pastries to fulfill your sweet-​tooth.
I went with the breakfast wrap which was ample in size. It was full of eggs, potatoes, chorizo, and cheese. The wrap was delicious and the green salsa it came with complemented it well. Additionally, because I’m a glutton, I had a scone. There are a few different flavors to choose from and I went with the Vanilla/​Almond/​Strawberry. It was excellent. The iced coffee too was very good. If you’re into lattes and the like there is a coffee bar to meet your needs.
The décor of the restaurant is great and there is ample seating no matter your group size. There are about 8 tables outside as well.
The prices are a bit steep. My breakfast was $ 16. I’ll be back but due to that reason alone, it won’t be as often as I’d like.

Delightful breakfast spot and café. Repurposed wood and brick walls, exposed ceilings, table settings that hearken to harvest time, a wonderful assortment of baked goods (such as the exceptionally buttery and flaky chocolate croissant or the apple muffin that tastes like an apple fritter).
Great breakfast options here with local and organic products, seasonal fruits, and noble bread. I love that they feature Croque Monsieur, my favorite breakfast sandwhich with bechamel and gruyère (basically a savory French toast sandwhich that Is out of this world.)

This was my second time at Fame. The first was to sample the cold brew and sublime baked goods. They did NOT disappoint!
I went again yesterday to meet up with dear friends who are moving to Long Beach. I spied a lot of delicious options but decided on the Croques Madame.
It’s a classic French recipe that added the twist of Noble Bread’s 7-​grain toast as the base. The nuttiness of the bread, combined quite nicely with the healthy helping of toasted Gruyère cheese, bechamel sauce, lean ham, and an egg, to create a satisfying brunch entrée. It was the BEST version of this dish I’ve ever had!
This place is always hopping and the staff is pleasant and efficient. The seating is comfortable and the patrons are laid back and satisfied. All of these things combined make for a great experience!
I am definitely putting this on the regular rotation!

This is a great coffee shop! I got the iced vanilla latte which I think is better than Lux. It was not too sweet and not bitter. Delicious. We got the banana jam muffin, poppyseed orange muffin, steal cut oatmeal, and the Parisian omelette. Everything was perfect. The muffins were still warm and the jams were all homemade. The omelette was tasty and a good size. Oh, and the décor was so cute! They have a farmhouse style going on that would make Joanna Gaines proud. Much more comfortable to sit in and enjoy your breakfast than Lux. My new favorite coffee shop in Phoenix!

Why would I like Fa-​me Caffe? I can’t even pronounce it or spell it. Is it Fa’me with the French thing above the a? Or Fa-​me with a hyphen? And don’t get me started on the two Fs in Caffe. Ha ha. Who cares, cause the food is tres bon! Oh my god we loved it! We drive by all the time and just today went for the first time. I never order omelettes because I prefer eggs over easy or eggs Benedict. And if I do order an omelette I have to put ketchup on it. But Fa-​me doesn’t have eggs Benedict so now I am just pointing at things written on their menu board. My wife ordered the breakfast wrap and iced mocha. Well… now the fun begins. The mochas are fantastic. And we ran into a person my wife knows from high school. They raved about the oatmeal and said that is what they always order. Now I am wishing I had ordered oatmeal.
Now for my food review. The food arrived and looked good. But tasted even better! My omelette with mushrooms and caramelized onions was so so good! I felt like I was in Paris sharing an incredible meal with my gorgeous wife at a cozy little French bistro. Of course I knew I was in America just by looking up at the egg cartons glued to the ceiling, and the 105 degrees outside — but still… such a great tasting, well thought out breakfast with crispy bacon just the way we like it — and the cheese in my light and fluffy omelette so perfect with the onions. I think you just converted me into an omelette lover. So perfect that if I were the chef and I saw a customer putting ketchup on it I’d throw them out of the restaurant immediately, lol.
As for Rebecca’s wrap full of potatoes, 5 stars from her as well! The green salsa is the best! And my wife is very picky about salsa. She is an Arizona native and knows her salsas. She said it was so fantastic she could drink it. Seriously. We bought more of it to take home. We don’t have tortilla chips so we just may be drinking salsa tonight while reflecting on or wonderful 5 star experience at Fa-​me Caffe with two Fs. We’ll be back for sure. I’ll be trying the oatmeal or possibly doing the omelette again with salsa on it this time!

Do you believe in love at first sight or love at first taste? Well, skeptics — I freaken do! I fell in love with this place once I set eyes on it. It is so damn cute — earthy, rustic, open, and NOT busy! Oh hell yea.
Then I fell in love again when I tried their almond milk vanilla latte and the food. The coffee was so good (better than Lux) and the size/​portion is great. The small is a good size. The overeasy plate (bacon, eggs and potatoes) was delightful especially the potatoes and bacon. They were crunchy and just melt in your mouth good! The pancakes were one of the best pancakes I’ve tried! The service was great too — they offered a bowl of water for my dog, which was sweet.
The tab ended up to be close to $ 30 — I agree the prices here are a little steep, but it’s more like a 5 step hill steep, not a damn mountain. I will take this any day then to wait for an hour somewhere.
This will definitely be my go-​to spot for coffee and breakfast from now on. Lots of parking and a mile away from me.

Amazingly beautiful spot for brunch, coffee and juice. It’s spacious, clean and aesthetic AF (excuse my french).
Came in for their soft opening and was informed by their sweet employee that it was family owned and most of their ingredients were as organic and local as they possibly can be.
I ordered a Latte, Steel Cut Oatmeal and a cold brew to take home. The latte was well pulled and deliciously smooth. I was a bit hesitant about their oatmeal as it was plain and cost about $ 6 but it was good and seasoned with sugar and cinnamon. The price point on this was a bit steep, I would’ve expected and would prefer Steel Cut Oatmeal with at least fruit/​nut topping like at Lux for the price. Fa-​me does however have probably one of the best cold brews I’ve had here in Phoenix.
There’s a good amount of seating; communal tables, group tables, bar and tables for two. There are outlets along the windowed walls for those who want to get work done.
Absolutely great caffe, good coffee, amazing customer service (was approached by the owner, chef and employees multiple times) and great atmosphere! Price can be on the steep side, but must take into account it’s organic/​local and on the fancier side than other cafes in the area.
Definitely will be back to try their juices and for more of their amazing cold brew!
