Came here as part of an Instagram collaboration, so we got to try a variety of dishes! Their menu is extensive with tons of breakfast items, but also a variety of lunch options featuring American, Mexican, and Italian flavors. We tried the Friends breakfast combo special (with the funky monkey pancakes), corn beef and eggs, Florentine scramble, albacore tuna salad, and the wild turkey sandwich. My favorite was the funky monkey pancakes! The pancakes were thick, soft, and fluffy and had a great banana and chocolate flavor! It was sweet and salty with the syrup and butter!

This spot left a great impression on me. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich with cashews, and it was fresh and full of flavor. The staff was warm, welcoming, and very attentive throughout my visit. I live far away, yet if this place were closer, I would return again and again without hesitation.

Friends Cafe is an amazing spot for breakfast. The service was excellent, and we had a great waiter. She even brought to-go cups when we were getting drinks near the end of our breakfast. The pancakes were huge, and it's really not that pricey. Overall, great place to get breakfast, Definitely would recommend over any other brunch place nearby. Just note that if you have a party of 5 or above, you might have to wait until a table opens up.

We've been coming here a couple times a week for dinner. We love the variety offered on their menu. My husband especially likes the seafood combo. Tonight we tried the French Dip and Shrimp Alfredo. Both were excellent! The people are always really friendly, and it's really quiet in the evening.

★★★★★ 5.0 Burri Equinox · Mar 2026

Friends Cafe has really good food and really good service. Our waitress was really nice and it's just a really good restaurant overall. The food is bigger than you expect so be prepared to have a to-go box. This restaurant is a 10/10 Amazing.
