The biscuits are amazing. Try one, with gravy or butter or jelly or whatever just try the biscuits. I had the best biscuit and grave with egg. And the Crullers are real, and delicious.
I love all things Faye! Delicious menu, refreshing cocktails, and attractive, clean atmosphere.
The lady at the counter was very quick to help us and explain everything. I took a number, menu, and sat down. The menu surprised me, because of higher than average prices and lack of variety, but it's a small place so it makes sense. Altogether we got biscuits (2) and gravy, french toast, two coffees (flavored pricier ones), and three sides. With a tip, it came close to $50. For the record, I didn't feel pressured to tip, but the girl at the counter was very nice and helpful. The small menu and price made sense when I saw and tasted the food. This is QUALITY breakfast, not just an average, careless, thrown-together small restaurant (which seems to be the standard around here sometimes). Everything tasted homemade, fresh, and like it was professionally made. Nothing seemed premade or like it had been sitting out a while. I mean, usually a sausage patty comes to you as a premade, cheap, puck but that is NOT the case here. The coffee was amazing and very unique, the bacon wasn't just some skinny little strip (actual Wenneman's bacon - they're the real deal). I could go on and on. I completely feel like I got my moneys worth and then some. A cheaper coffee and no sides and we would have been under $40, easy. I have never had a dine-in breakfast this good. Treat yourself, go to Faye's.
My husband and I had a brunch date here. The food was delicious and so fresh. Everyone was so friendly and the space is so cute! Great addition to Murphy.
Had a wonderful visit once again at Faye this morning. Service was great and the food was wonderful. My mother said it was the best French toast she had ever had! Got to meet Amy Mills and she was lovely! We will keep coming back!
Great coffee drinks the breakfast sandwiches were good so was the biscuits and gravy .The biscuit egg with pimento cheese and bacon is by far one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had definitely recommend this place while in town
This is five star for Murphy/Carb They do seem to care about quality and flavor. Biscuits and gravy are way better than Mary Lou's . Just don't understand the high price? Where does this restaurant think it resides ? 5th Ave,, Michigan Ave,. L.A. ?? NOPE ...... It's in Carbondale!! Adjust your prices if you want your business going! It needs to be affordable to have a clientele. Good luck!.
Super cute inside! The food and service were amazing. ! Definitely try this place out, it's a gem
We live in town and have been visiting often Faye since it opened. The ambience and interior design is beautiful and always nice staff. I loved the “Faye-vorite” latte and ordered it every time, even though it was a bit pricey it was delicious and I thought worth the money. However the last month or so they’ve changed the recipe and seem to no longer use fresh espresso shots in the iced latte. I love their coffee but I’m disappointed they changed my favorite drink, sadly I don’t feel like it’s worth the $8 anymore. I may still visit for breakfast as their biscuits are amazing, but it won’t be my go-to coffee stop anymore.
Coolest café around with a great selection of unique gifts, sauces, and more!
I tried the special Valentine Chocolate Cherry Iced coffee and it was delicious!!! The bologna and pimento biscuit is my go-to order and I can never finish it.
I love the look and feel of this place. Food was great! Only thing I didn't like is when you first enter you wait in line to order however there isn't any menu available until you get to the counter. It made ordering kinda stressful.
Had the biscuits and gravy it was wonderful 😋
Awesome building, cool lighting, all in a very welcoming environment. The employees were super nice and not overwhelmingly present, which cannot be understated. As for the food itself, I can only speak to the dishes tried, two of which were from 1/22/2023 popup chef, Joshua Lanning, which I’m sure don’t fully represent the restaurant’s stable offerings, but still deserve a few words. Potato Eggs: A “French Omelet stuffed with Crispy Breakfast Potatoes, Cheese, Onions, and Peppers", omelet only ($12). The first of two dishes tried from Lanning. - The omelet was splendidly cooked as described with a perfect French-style texture, which is what confuses me about the rest of this dish. The "Crispy Breakfast Potatoes" were literally (what I'm guessing frozen) crinkle French fries that were fried in oil and then chopped. The choice made literally zero sense, as they were neither crispy nor seasoned "breakfast potatoes". They ultimately offered nothing substantial to the filling other than unnecessary volume and an unsavory mouthfeel. Though I had no problem with the onions and peppers, as they added complementary texture. Shredded cheddar was added in the filling, which certainly wouldn't have been my first choice for a $12 stand-alone French-style omelet. Lastly, the omelet was topped with an under- seasoned and also rather out of place cheese sauce that was sprinkled with a few shakes of paprika. Was very confused and most certainly not worth the $12, which just seems to be a one-off for the very decorated chef. Fried Chicken Biscuit: Fried chicken on a biscuit with “BrightBird Dust and Hot Honey”, sandwich only ($10). Second and last dish from Joshua Lanning. - Absolutely delicious. A fried chicken biscuit sandwich is the perfect breakfast dish. Lanning absolutely nailed it, probably one of the best I’ve ever had. Biscuit had an excellent flaky exterior with just enough salt and bite and a chewy but skillfully cooked interior. But would I pay $10 for just a chicken bi
All I can say is: WOW! We visited on the day they were hosting guest chef, Joshua Lanning, and everything was phenomenal. I ordered the eggs benedict sandwich and a strawberry cruller, my son ordered biscuits and gravy (that's a real sausage gravy, folks, and seasoned perfectly), and my partner ordered the hot honey fried chicken sandwich (not pictured). I also ordered a London fog and my partner had a latte with lavender and vanilla house made syrup. It was all SO good! The ingredients were high quality and delicious. Everything was seasoned beautifully. The drinks were perfectly made, that's one of the best London fog's I've ever had. Overall, eating here is a delightful experience. It's refreshing to have such high quality eating in southern Illinois where so many other places have standards that are just 'good enough'. Faye clearly strives for excellence, and it shows.
Fantastic biscuits and gravy 😊. Great people!
The French toast was so amazing! Crispy outside and rich and fluffy inside. Everything about it was decadent and delicious. The espresso martini was well balanced and just as it should be. Will definitely be back.
Only stopped by for coffee. It was quite bitter and high priced, in my opinion. I'd come back to try the food sometime. Service was pleasant.
I loved it and the owner was really nice. She was very knowledgeable about the products she sold and was proud of the product she and her staff creates. I was impressed and look forward to returning when I'm in town again.
The best crullers ever - no matter what you were thinking of ordering, you should add one. They also have a super cute atmosphere and solid service. Totally worth checking out!
