Frescafe

I like the other location in Natick. Just been a better experience. More feeling. This location in downtown Framingham reflects the neighborhood… More like a deserted, inner city locale. Decent egg meals.

Saw some poor reviews and was surprised — maybe they were from bad days?
I’m within walking distance so have been there a few times and love it. Good menu, fresh, well prepared food and friendly (not perfect) service. The portions are not small and the quality of the food is high. Short story? I like it a lot!

We came here for the first time for Sunday brunch, looking for somewhere convenient to Natick. It looks like a family owned business, which is nice. I got the eggs and beef hash, he got the chicken pesto omelet. I love beef hash and will usually give it a try if it’s on the menu. Theirs is pretty darn good! Not too salty, which can be overwhelming if you’re finishing off your plate. I was told the chicken pesto omelet was quite good as well, and also pretty big.
They were almost packed when we got there and will say it took a bit long for the food to arrive but they told us they were down one person in the kitchen and apologized, which is appreciated. The waitress was constantly circling around with coffee, which was pretty standard.
We’ll definitely be coming back!

I agree with Joe S’s review. Service really is terrible here. So much for gaining an extra hour from setting the clocks back… I wasted it waiting for my food. However, the food was very good I have to say. I ordered the Prosciutto and Avocado Eggs Benedict with a chocolate chip and banana pancake on the side. The avocado was harder than I would have liked but overall it was a delicious plate. I might come back, but it won’t be for a while.

I live nearby and walk here for breakfast periodically. I always get the hash and eggs. The hash is simple and always crispy. Absolutely delicious. My fiancé loves their avocado and prosciutto benedict. I’ve also gotten sandwiches from here for lunches before. The food has always been solid and I’ve always left feeling like I had a great experience. The service can be a little spotty at times (partly due to the fact that there is no hostess to seat you) but the wait staff is young and very friendly, so as long as you’re not in a hurry, relax and enjoy the food and company!

Very disorganized, very slow service. They have 3 servers and one serves just coffee, one takes drink orders and the other takes food orders meanwhile he restaurant is packed waiting for one person to help. For the quality food should be a little less expensive. Took ten minutes to even get an order for water. There’s nobody here managing the place so the servers are running in circles. Finally when the bill came I wanted to pay and leave and obviously I had to wait another 20 minutes for that to happen, but hey the coffee guy came around 15 more times and ignored my bill even tho I mentioned it. Downtown Natick really has nothing else so the business comes here.

Worst breakfast experience ever. From start to finish. At least ten minutes before waitress even came to table which should have been a sign. We ordered everything at this time not wanting her to leave and not come back. Over an hour before we got or food. Some lady comes out from the kitchen yells excuse me and states she fired a cook two weeks ago and she is doing the best she can do. Ok well if you know your under staffed and it’s going to take over an hour to get breakfast food maybe you should tell your patrons before they sit so they have the choice to decide if they want to leave. I asked for more hollandaise sauce for my eggs Benedict and the poor waitress was afraid to tell me she was going to have to charge a dollar for that. One it was not the waitress fault in either situation the timing of food or that really after making someone wait over an hour your really going to charge the dollar for the sauce. I will never return.

My wife and I thought we would try this place since they have refurbished it as well as the good reviews for Framingham. My wife ordered blueberry walnut pancakes with bacon and I ordered the corned beef hash with eggs, etc. The coffee was only lukewarm poured so we asked for fresh pours. The corned beef hash plate was very tasty all around and really no complaints about it. However the pancakes were doughy and almost unedible. The syrup was cold as if it just came out of the refrigerator, it could have been warmed up before served so we had to ask for that. The waiter (only one) seemed as if he was new or maybe just uncaring, he never asked how we liked our meals. There are better choices for breakfast in Natick and Wellesley so not really sure if we will go back.

I stopped in to this place on a whim looking for a new place to get breakfast. This is the second addition to a family owned restaurant with its first location in downtown Framingham. The food here was so yummy. They offer all the breakfast basics as well as a wide variety of omelets (many different varieties with chicken!) the prices are fair and the waitress was super friendly. I felt good supporting this buisness and I look forward to returning. Im so glad there is finally a new breakfast option in downtown Natick.
