We came for brunch and absolutely loved the food. There was no room inside, but plenty of seating on the back patio. It was a cold day and it was actually a bit hot inside but the patio was very pleasant. The croque monsieur is the best I have had since I was in France and the quiche was very light and smooth. I will definitely be back.

A great example of a small French cafe, serving well prepared dishes, boasting exceptional flavors. The Eleonore and Faby Benedicts were beautifully presented, with eggs poached just right and hollandaise sauce prepared to perfection. The traditional Crepe Lemon was thin, delicate, with a touch of lemony sweetness, and a satisfying way to end the meal. Having too many delicious options to experience in one visit, this is definitely a cafe to frequent often.
12/10/2023 Update - Back again for more of the same, plus Crepe Caramel Apple & Waffle Nutella.

Very fresh, real delicious breakfast, and excellent service.
Special thanks to the owner Madame Fabienne who took the time to make the experience memorable and will definitely come back.

I loved the place, it’s a little small but it works perfect, the attention is good, the atmosphere is quiet and relaxed, the food is delicious, everything was excellent the black coffee French toast style more than delicious 🤤

I went to meet a friend for breakfast to catch up. He suggested this cute little Italian cafe. Parking 🅿️ is paid street parking only. You have indoor outdoor seating options available. I had the breakfast crepe which in my option a bit undercooked for eggs but very tasty. Unfortunately during the meal a water roach 🪳 decided to crawl across our table which I think what was the turning point of our visit. At that point we had gnats and flies flying around our food and heads. So we decided to get the check and go elsewhere.

I love Chez Faby every single time I go there. I am always greeted by the adorable teddy bear welcoming crew and then a happy smile from the staff. The food is phenomenal, and authentic. If you live, work or are visiting our Downtown area, check this place out. It is a gem!

As soon as I found out about this place I put it on my bucket list. What a wonderful treat it turned out to be. Just so many appealing choices that it took me a while to decide.

There are about 6 pages of menu with panini's, salads, eggs benedict, crepes, croissants and more. They are well pictured on google maps. The service was excellent and the chef emerged several times to help serve her dishes as soon as they were ready.

I had a Latte to start just as the sun rose over the building tops in downtown Tampa. Followed by a scrumptious salad topped with avocado, walnuts and a balsamic dressing. It came with toasted bread layered with soft brie and crispy bacon. I ended with the Pain Chocolat, simply sublime, and another latte that I loved.

When I arrived at 8am it was not too busy. By 9am there were no more seats inside or outside. It was a perfect morning breakfast out on the sidewalk lazily watching the world go by. There was plenty of parking at 8am, but that quickly changed.

We waited 30 minutes to be seated during lunchtime on a Sunday, but worth it! So many exiting dish to choose from! My crepes with bacon, mushroom and salad was exceptional, and my husband loved his lasagna. The service was friendly and very attentive.
