Patio Cafe

I recently grabbed breakfast here and was happy I did. The customer service was very friendly and the food was great. I enjoyed the chilaquiles and freshly squeezed orange juice. The patio was behaved dog friendly overall had a great vibe. The parking was easy and they had plenty of space indoors and outside on their patio. The menu was large so I’d certainly check it out if you want a solid breakfast or to hangout enjoying coffee on their patio.

Cool little spot! Lunch or breakfast.... choices. Nice area to eat outside 😋. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Cookies are delicious, and portions are not too big. Went Mid day and found seating right away. Plus wholefoods is around the corner!

Plenty of workers that are friendly. I saw this place noticing it was packed multiple days in a row and visited wanting to see what it was. Wasn't expecting high prices but the food is authentic and amazing. The menu is quite overwhelming I have posted it on this review for you to see ahead of time. We came in and were unsure what to get everything sounds amazing so we took more time than usual deciding.

We used to love patio cafe but sadly lately it’s not worth it. Menu prices have increased exponentially and the food quality has not. Ordered avocado toast that was quite sad but still $15. And the chilaquiles seemed like it was made with Doritos for $21. Wish the food lived up to the pricing. Atmosphere and staff service is always great though.

We’ve lived near Fig Garden Village for 34 years but today was only my second time to eat at this cafe. We usually eat at the La boulangerie on the other side of the village. As a matter of fact we went to the la boo but it was so busy we decided to try out the Patio Cafe. Having now dined here I would say that the la boo now has competition for my business. I enjoyed being seated and having a server which one no longer gets Al the la boo - they’ve gone self- service :( My wife and I both ordered salads - the “petite” salads which are smaller and less expensive. I think my wife’s was a crab cob while I ordered the Thai Chicken Salad. As you can see from my pics our salads were mammoth. Our salads came with bread and butter and were fully sufficient as a meal in themselves. Most importantly, they were very good, along with the friendly service. Although I didn’t order any wine or beer I was glad to have the option. We each had a cappuccino with our salads. Important to note the have outdoor dining and very importantly their restrooms are CLEAN. 10/10 will eat here again.

A little hole in the wall with delicious food. This restaurant has a home feel to it very welcoming and cozy. The food was delicious and their freshly squeezed orange juice is amazing. A must try.

A selection of unique meals. All the ingredients are fresh and taste delicious. Service is very prompt and friendly. We ordered the Mediterranean Quesadilla, and the breakfast burrito both were delicious.

Took our mom here for a birthday brunch on a Monday, and it was lovely! We all loved our dishes and nice sized mimosas. The fruit was super duper fresh.

This place is very trendy. We got there mid morning. I think we missed the crowds. We got there just in time. They sat us down very quick. It was just my two daughters and I. Gaby our waitress was so nice, kind and very helpful. She wrote everything down to the dot as how I wanted my chilaquiles. My daughter got the hot chocolate and it was very cute with whip cream on top and some sprinkles. I got coffee and then we ordered the breakfast. It was pancakes breakfast, the western omelet with potatoes and the special chilaquiles. Everything came out very good and they didn't take that long to serve it. We would definitely come back because it's a cute cozy place to have breakfast. They also offered some things like honey, cookies, nuts, home made granola. And many more things. I really liked it there.

The Patio Cafe: A Garden of Discontent The Patio Cafe, nestled in the Fig Garden area of Fresno, promised a tranquil escape, but sadly, my recent visit fell short of expectations. The ambiance was indeed clean, quiet, and laid-back, offering a pleasant respite from the city bustle. However, the dining experience proved to be a thorny affair. My "oatmeal," if you could call it that, was tragically dry - reminiscent of an untouched box of instant oats. While the fresh berries offered a glimmer of redemption, the meager portion and the accompanying thimble of milk did little to salvage this culinary catastrophe. It seemed the kitchen staff, and perhaps even our hurried server, overlooked the crucial detail of proper cooking, leaving me with a sad, undercooked bowl of disappointment. My companions fared no better. Their omelets arrived overcooked, with an unsightly burnt bottom - a clear sign of neglect on the griddle. While the staff exuded a friendly demeanor, their hasty service left us feeling like unwelcome guests, rushed to vacate our table. Perhaps the most shocking revelation came with the bill. A staggering $59 for a subpar breakfast of oatmeal, omelets, coffee, and tea? Good grief, indeed! This exorbitant price tag certainly did not reflect the quality of the food or service. The Patio Cafe, while boasting a pleasant atmosphere, failed to deliver on the culinary front. With its dry oatmeal, burnt omelets, hurried service, and inflated prices, it left a bitter taste that lingered long after we departed. Rating: 1.5 out of 5 stars.

My Bestie and I came for brunch and were pleased with the food and service. They had plenty of seating inside and out on the patio. Would definitely eat here again if we are in the area.

First time here! As I get older I've learned that breakfast is actually my favorite meal of the day haha. Stopped by to check it out and the pancakes were hands down the best i've had in a while. Small hidden spot with a very niche ambiance, you have to come try!

In all honesty, the food is a solid 3.5. But I round up the review to four stars because customer service is pretty good here. The first time I came, I tried the sweet potato hash, and I was a bit, taken a back by the seasonings they used on the potatoes, it tasted like Indian spices, which didn't go well with the eggs and the eggs had no flavor or salt on them. Today, I decided to go with the avocado toast which has two poached eggs on top again no salt or pepper. It was just plain Jane for $20 bucks it was not really worth it. The Chilaquiles are decent, although not authentic like you would find at a Mexican restaurant but good portion for the price. I think the best thing to get here are the crabcake Benedict, they're worth the price and they're actually very tasty. I have not tried any of the waffles or pancakes or any sweet stuff cause I'm not really into that. However , it seems like a lot of people do enjoy those types of dishes here. They make fresh squeeze orange juice which is nice. Customer service is always really good here and despite it being a busy atmosphere I get seated right away and don't wait more than 2 to 3 minutes for a Table. I think it's worth trying. Just know that the menu is hit or miss.

Decides to shut down before their posted hours. Wife was looking forward to me taking her to lunch here all week. Drive thirty minutes, set up child care just to get met with a "sorry we closed early". Just disappointing.

Friendly staff, outside dining was very nice on a day not too hot. Inside dining was packed and loud. Food was good but eggs not soft boiled for eggs Benedict. Beware that if you pay with card there is a $3 up charge

In Fig Garden is this hidden spot I never been too before and went there recently for Sunday brunch. The service was fast and they don't give you much time to actually look at the menu. Overall the food was great and even size portions. The setting reminded me of a country side villa. Definitely recommend you stop by there for breakfast in the Fig Garden area. Plenty of parking out front and the food prices are reasonable.

I've been a few times now. Each time it was mediocre at best, but this last time, a small roach crawled by our table and then later one crawled on the top of our table. I've gotten a salad that was decent. I liked the balsamic and vinegar option. I like that they offer some healthier options. The food is okay, but they've got to deal with the pest situation.

Friendly and inviting, best cinnamon chai I've ever had, besides homemade. their bakery selections are pretty tasty. The soups were my favorite part.

Went there for brunch on a Sunday. We didn't have to wait long which was nice. The food is overpriced in my opinion considering the portion size. We ordered mimosas and they were wildly inconsistent and my boyfriend received the wrong mimosa. I was supposed to receive fruit and toast with my order and I didn't receive either even after asking for it. The food was local and organic but it was not worth it.

Came to the patio cafe for the first time, the day was nice so we sat outside. I got coffee & ordered the petite Texas style French toast with scrambled eggs, bacon and a cup of fruit. The food was good, the serving of bacon was generous and the eggs tasted amazing. The fruit cup was phenomenal, they had various berries, orange slice and fresh pineapple slices. All in all the food was fantastic. Service was dismal on the patio. After our food was brought to us we didn't see our waitress again until she brought the check. So we didn't get coffee or water refills which was a bummer. The pricing here is on the expensive side. They have a breakfast burrito on the menu and to add meat to it it comes out to about $20. I get it though, it's the nicer side of town and that's the customers they want but I'm not sure for that price point it's worth it.

If you love over priced soggy chilaquiles this is the place for you! My daughter was home from college for the weekend so I wanted to take her to a nice little breakfast. I was so disappointed in the quality of food and the quality of customer. We were seated by the hostess and it took a long time for the waitress to come and take our order. Then it took a long time for our food to come out. Those things being considered, you'd think our food would come out fresh! But nope! Chilaquiles came out soggy as if there had been sitting out for a long time. I took 2 bites max, and couldn't fathom eating the rest! My daughter ordered a waffle with sausage and it was quite literally the worst sausage she had ever eaten. Sausage tasted steamed not cooked stovetop. Waitress did not check on us once, to see how we were doing. Didn't even bring the check to us, I had to get up and go to the register to ask for my check. Needless to say, we both left with tummy aches. Save your money!

My mom and sister perused the menu and decided to try the Spinach and Pine Nut Egg White Frittata. It sounded so delicious that all 3 of us chose the same meal. We were all very pleased and satisfied with our meal. When they asked which jam we wanted, I told them BOTH. I'm so glad we did. It is homemade and delicious. I'm not even a jam person and I loved it! They sell it in the restaurant. I highly recommend trying and buying some!

Pros Food was great and place was cute. Cons longer wait for food/drinks and expensive.

I'm usually not a fan of food places in Fresno, but this one doesn't fall in that category--I love it! I didn't realize it was so close to my house and that I pass it by every time I go grocery shopping since it's in Fig Garden. But this place is amazing! My first visit was right during spring, and the store was bright with a flower wall that I loved. The staff was so friendly and nice, and the food came out quickly and was great. It's a lot of food, especially for a single diner. I got the passion fruit lemonade and have been hooked on trying to make it my own ever since--just know I haven't been successful. This leads me to coming back, whether it's for to-go or dine-in. The experience is always the same: fantastic!

Im so happy I found this little hidden gem to have a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. They have interior or patio seating areas. We chose to eat inside and it was very welcoming and comfortable. From the moment my wife and I walked in we realized this was a wonderful restaurant. Our waitress was named Amber she was very informative about the food and homemade jams. I ordered Sicilian Omelette. It was delicious and full of flavor and the potatoes were perfect. My wife had the Hobo Benedict and she loved it. We also tried the Strawberry/Kiwi jam as well as the Boysenberry jam. We bought a jar of each. They are open until 3:00 on Saturday I highly recommend giving it a try you won't be disappointed. We will definitely be back again!!

Service was friendly and welcoming! Delicious food options and mimosas as well. A busy spot, tucked in Fig Garden Village. I had the Patio Chilaquiles. Delicious, although I would have plated with refried beans instead of black beans. I'd definitely eat it again, though. Definitely worthy of returning.

Patio Cafe is consistently good. I first ate there in 1997, and recently went back after several years. I had moved away and would occasionally stop in on my visits to Fresno, but it had been nearly 10 years since I last dined at the cafe. The food is still wonderful. The ambiance is very pleasant-both indoors and outdoors.

Ordered eggs and italian sausage. Sausage over cooked to the point i could not eat it. As in the past the food is just Ok. We have been here many times and truthfully since the pandemic it is not the same place. Today the service was horrible. There was no server assigned to our table. One lady brought drinks another lady took our order but it was long after we arrived. We ordered a glass of bubbly that didn't come until after our breakfast was delivered by a different server and only after we reminded her we ordered it. I could go on but what is the point. When you spend $$$ for breakfast you would expect timely and organized service. The place is noisy and it is difficult to carry on a conversation . Too cold this morning to sit outside. It will be awhile before/if we return. Other places do a much better job for less $$$

I wish I could give zero stars to this place. We were told the wait time would be 20 minutes. However, 30 minutes later, people who checked in after us were being seated. When we informed the host that we were next, even the other customers confirmed, saying, "Yes, they were here before us." Our party consisted of 5 people, while theirs had 6. This experience felt deeply discriminatory based on our race and color. It was clear we were intentionally skipped over because we are not the WHITE color. This behavior is unacceptable and incredibly disappointing. Avoid this place if you value being treated with respect and fairness.

I've been here a few times and everything is always super delicious. We had breakfast and we were not disappointed. We had a party of 6 people. All with different orders and everyone seemed satisfied with their meals. We sat inside. It's decorated very nice. I'll be back

I love everything about this place from the ambiance, service, and food quality. I always pay them a visit when I'm in town and order the stuffed French toast, which is one of the best I've had anywhere. They also make delicious mimosas! Lastly, the prices are reasonable for the quality--it's not IHOP, so don't expect those prices.

Great service and food every time. Great place to have breakfast as well as if you wanted to grab some local food gifts, this is the place. Lots of healthy options. Plenty of parking in the lot that is shared with other business.

Cute place, nice atmosphere, thats about it. Benedict: Undercooked eggs, boiled potatoes. Side Sausage: Microwaved. Waffles: Definitely not fresh, probably made earlier and reheated, possibly frozen. Turkey Wrap: No seasoning. The turkey was store bought deli meat that they reheated and was dry like leather. I don't usually leave bad reviews, but Google Reviews said 4.2 Stars and I feel tricked. It was so bad. Lesson learned, don't trust Google Reviews.

Outstanding breakfast service was fair. Ambience was very nice for a breakfast place.

Don't waste your time the food is not good this is my second time I thought I would give it a second chance and both time food and service was bad definitely will not be back

The food had no taste at all.. the food lacked flavor and fresh ingredients the sauce on top of the huevos rancheros taste like it was made with ketchup and it was taste less..

Good food. Great spot. I've been here a few different times and gotten something different each visit. I will say their sweet breakfasts vastly outperform their savory breakfasts. If you're a fan of French toast and pancakes, you'll be very happy. If you're expecting a great omelette or breakfast sandwich, you'll probably be a little disappointed. Definitely recommend getting an iced latte or mocha while you're there

Food was very tasty good portions coffee was delicious as well. Service was amazing very attractive. Over all very clean will be going back

I did a package at the spa and they ordered me the shrimp tacos for lunch. They were amazing. I will definitely be making the 45 min drive back to Fresno again and again for these tacos. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. I'm not sure what kind of cheese they use but it goes great in these tacos.

Absolutely Not! Service sucked. Coffee got cold before anyone could even ask if I wanted creamer. My hot food showed up cold. When I asked my server why my Chilaquiles and Eggs Benedict were both cold he said he would take it back to the kitchen. After 1 minute my food came back soggy from the microwave. Really!!?! Save your self time and money and go anywhere else.

After promising to never eat here again, I was invited to breakfast with my sister, so I relented. I have to say I'm glad I did. Their breakfast menu is vast and appealing. I decided on the healthier choice of oatmeal. Now oatmeal can be tricky. Made with water, it can taste like paste. This was very good. It was nice and creamy, topped with berries (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries) and had some well toasted oats on top for an added crunch. Really interesting touch. My sister had the avocado toast, and it looked great, as well. Very large serving. The wait staff was really attentive and friendly. Coffee was excellent and plentiful. I Can now say I recommend Patio Cafe for breakfast! I'll be back.

Best Bunch l locally owned fresh farm to table! Friendly, fun atmosphere looking forward to our return visit

Patio Cafe is a bustling breakfast and lunch spot in the trendy Fig Garden Village. It's always busy on weekends, especially on the dog-friendly patio, so be sure to call ahead to reserve a table. Their espresso-based drinks, like the Americano, are delicious and perfect for a morning pick-me-up. I highly recommend the French toast, which is served with warm maple syrup and comes with the option of doing a petite order. You can even add eggs and meat to it. If you do, I highly recommend choosing the uber flavorful sausage. The avocado toast was huge but didn't have nearly enough avocado and was overall just disappointing. Our server was super friendly and attentive and was a welcoming way to start off the day.

Sooo... the ambience of this restaurant is cute and "brunchy" the staff are very friendly. The food on the other hand was not great for the price we paid. We had two coffees a fresh squeezed orange juice (delicious). Husband had the huevos rancheros, I had the pancake breakfast with sausage. I got served bacon, which was not an issue I ate it, the pancakes tasted like cardboard, no amount of syrup could redeem it. My husband's meal had no flavor either, I doubt we will recommend this restaurant or return, the taste of the food is not appealing for the $57 price we paid.

Every so often I like to try a new food spot that makes me feel like I'm being transported--fig garden area seemed to be appealing to me lately. I'm generally in North Fresno or far out in Clovis so it was a nice chance to eat somewhere outside where I normally go. That being said, it is a bit pricier as I expected but for the food and service I have to say I'm not totally convinced to come back. We were lucky to show up when we did. I wanted to sit outside on the patio and someone had just gotten up to leave the one properly shaded table so we requested this spot and they bussed it immediately for us which I was happy about. We ordered an omelette and their stuffed French toast. The French toast was filling and I enjoyed it aside from it being quite soggy, but it was plated nicely and was still yummy--I would suggest using the extra liquidy part of the compote as the syrup on the side instead of maple syrup as it would reduce sogginess and give the customer a slightly more elevated experience. Just a thought. The omelette was fine, side fruit meh, and the side of toast was super dissatisfying. We love sourdough, so I was really disappointed that it tasted more like white bread. It's just toast, I know, but sourdough should be sourdough. I don't think the basic things should be skimped on. Finally, we asked for a box several times since it seemed like we were forgotten. A few other customers were left hanging around as well. Some of the other reviews point out staff chilling and chatting which we experienced a bit of but it didn't bother us so much. However, when we wanted to leave it's like all the servers disappeared, not sure what happened. It seems relatively busy with some regular customers which was nice to see. Overall it was ok

Wasn't busy at 8 AM, but the service was rather slow... I didn't mind because I thought they might be attending more carefully to the meal. I ordered the three eggs with vegetables with balsamic on a piece of country, white bread, topped with hollandaise and a side of the country potatoes.... I specifically asked for extra extra extra hollandaise sauce ... and repeated it very carefully meeting eye contact with the waiter: 'extra, Extra, EXTRA!' What arrived with cold country potatoes. The bread with the vegetables and eggs was not even topped with hollandaise sauce... and they were two small little tiny cups, one almost full and the other one half full of sauce.. Aside from the hollandaise sauce for being cold, how is this anyway extra and why wasn't a check before it was brought to the table? This plate was $23 and tax. The mushrooms and onions on it we're not generous.... kind of cheap actually, for being the most expensive item on the menu... I would not order it again because of this value... Overall, I was not impressed with the attention. The dish or my order.. even the potatoes are on the cheap side, if they were even hot. The cheapest ingredient in the kitchen...what a rip! Staff was fine, but didn't make sure the dots were connected... It was also rather cold in here so early to have the AC blasting... The plate would've been far better had it included some kind of protein, more vegetables, more potatoes, and they were hot. We don't need to get back into the hollandaise sauce, or lack there of... a PISS OFF! I don't understand, is getting hot food a special request that also doesn't get fulfilled? How was the kitchen putting out food like that and moving so slowly? The cook in the kitchen moved like he was asleep and it translated to the crappy plate they put out. There were a total of five people in the restaurant, including myself. And if that's how the food comes out when it's slow, I can't imagine what flies out as passing when it's more busy... Oh, for these reasons, I don't see myself EVER returning or bringing a guest. An overpriced, weak and crappy meal. Why bother? -G

We just left patio Café we had breakfast. I ordered the Tuscan omelette with potatoes and it was the worst food I ever had in my life had no flavor at all too hard. The egg was rubbery. It was just disgusting. My husband ordered the French to and it was all eggy, I will not return we told One of the servers and he didn't say anything What a waste of money

Came here on one Sunday for breakfast and ordered the classic eggs Benedict. I got the full order which comes with 3 eggs. One egg wasn't runny. Very sad. My entire table requested the potatoes extra crispy and they came out the exact opposite. I wasn't a fan of the flavor on the potatoes either. Overall I do not think I will be adding this place into my breakfast spot rotation.

Food quality and portions on point NO DOUBT.( and they have peanut butter melted for waffles:) ) Service was perfect wish I could have gotten the servers name. She was so nice. Pricing is fair . Staff stays busy with making sure customers are treated well and serviced.

Cute cafe setting tucked away in Figarden Village. They have plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. As soon as you walk in they have a corner of knick knacks, baked goods, honey and nuts for sale. We waited just a few minutes to be sat on a Saturday morning at 9:30. Our server was very prompt and friendly. Their menu has many options for different tastes. They also have a lot of healthier options and swap outs which was nice. I ordered the 'petite' portion of the crab Benedict. For $16, it was definitely a petite portion. One crab cake and egg on top of a half an English muffin and a small side of potatoes. Price was a little steep for the amount of food but it was crab after all. And it was truly delicious. My parents each ordered the half portion of the waffle combo. It came with two, light and sweet waffles and a side of eggs and sausage. The waffles were amazing without feeling too heavy. For three coffees, two half waffle plates and my crab cake Benedict, it was $67 (not including tip). Honestly for the quality of the food, it was worth it. I will be back.

Food was delicious and the coffee tastes amazing! It is such a nice place! Service was excellent!

The ambiance was nice, the service was fine, but the food wasn't good because of a lack of flavor. I had the steak sandwich, and my partner had the pineapple salmon sandwich. Both the steak and salmon had no seasoning, and the salmon was dry and overcooked. $60 for two tasteless sandwiches

We stopped here for the first time a couple weeks ago for a later breakfast on a weekday. We sat outside on the patio since it was nice weather. Even pre-pandemic I prefer patios or eating outside so I appreciate a nice one. I think they've always had a patio so it's nicely set up. We were seated quickly- being mid morning, there weren't many people. The menu is good size, lots of options without being overwhelming. I went with the sweet potato hash and added apple sausage. I adore sautéed greens with over easy eggs and they went so well with the sweet potatoes - I loved my plate. my husband got an omelette with their potatoes. I loved my plate. He liked his omelette but I thought his potatoes were just ok. I don't recall the last time I had toast with my breakfast (I'm a biscuit and gravy girl), so I was just tickled with our plate of toast with soft butter and homemade jams - yummy. I would definitely come back again for breakfast, the food is good and the patio is nice Service was ok. Everyone was friendly enough and as I said, we were seated quickly, coffee came around often enough but our server was a little slow and the least friendly of the staff. Definitely, regulars get the best service. It wasn't bad though, so 4 stars. And the potatoes, those could definitely have been crispier making them so much more delicious.

I called in and ordered what my mother said she wanted, a Popeye* and a Toasted pecans deep pocket waffle with sugar free syrup. After trying to call, being put on hold hung up on twice I was abject to talk to a kind worker consistently. Apparently they were very busy! He said it would be ready in 15-20 min. i arrived shortly later. It was busy! Looks like they were celebrating Mother's Day today. My order was ready. it was handed over and I went to the register at the other end of the restaurant to pay for it. Left after that. Happy Mother's Day moms! =) (next day) I got breakfast ready per usual. Split! My mother said her toasted pecans deep pocket waffle 1/2 was really great! She said the Popeye* half was was fresh and great! The toasted pecans waffle was delicious! Tasty and even better with the sugar free maple syrup! My Popeye* 1/2 was fresh and scrumptious! Really liked the mix of the veggies with egg whites! Fantastic breakfast! Good service and delicious breakfast! Highly recommended!

Stopped by this cute cafe to have a nice breakfast but hit a few bumps in the road. Was originally told it would be 20-25 minute wait but ended up being 30 and had to ask how much longer as it was very cold outside. After being seated everything moved much quicker. The food tasted really good, the cooks are doing an amazing job. I was so hungry by this time, I forgot to take a before picture. The server charged us an extra coffee without checking with us and I had to let him know to have it corrected. Always double check your receipts. Suggestions: * there should be patio heaters for cold days, our table and the others were complaining about how cold and bright it was outside. * less tables to allow more room to walk. For the short time I stood inside I almost got hit multiple times by guests and workers.

Had a great breakfast here last Saturday after going to the vineyard farmers market--that would be a great Saturday routine to keep! No wait for a table around 8:30 or so, but it was filling up fast as we enjoyed our food. I ordered the Hobo Benedict-very good! Not drowning in sauce and delicious potatoes on the side. Really liked the coffee too and we were checked on often for coffee refills. Like how they're are so many lighter options on the menu (maybe next time I'll try one haha!)

I'm giving 5 stars for the service. Shawni was amazing. We were seated by the front host at a pretty dirty table and Shawni immediately cleaned it for us as soon as she saw it. The kitchen also forgot a part of my order and she did not hesitate to fix it when I told her. Just overall, she was on top of it and was incredibly kind. Food's a bit overpriced though.. $9 for a single pancake haha.
