There are so many places to choose from in Olympia, we selected the locally owned Frenchies on 4th for today's local adventure. This is actually the second time we have eaten here in as many weeks. The food was so good we had to come back a second time to verify its deliciousness! It is a medium sized eatery with adornment of French bull pictures all over the place, stylistically might I add. There is ample seating for 1-4 person groups I am sure they could accommodate larger parties if need be. And the service is top notch. I am very disappointed they did not recognize us since we were just there a week ago, however our server with the red hair made up for it with over producing in the service and nicety department lol. All of the staff we encountered were very friendly and approachable which always makes the meal that much more enjoyable. I ordered the half serving of the SOB (pictured). Best biscuits and gravy I've had in the area. I am a southern east coaster by birth, and always enjoy coming across a southern dish especially a good one! Not too thick nor too thin, with andouilles sausage and a small Kungfu kick on the back end of consumption. The pancake was buttery and crispy. I definitely enjoyed my meal, and have added this establishment to the will return list. You will not be disappointed!

The food's delicious. The egg's benedict had a mild spicy kick, potatoes were seasoned well and crunchy in the best way. Loved the water bottle immediately on the table to access immediate refills. Love the tilting umbrella's outside to help get just the right amount of sun or shade. Apparently bee's are a common issue. One kept trying to enjoy my meal - and the waitresses comment made it clear it's highly common. Server's were kind when they made a point to check on customers, but were not readily available. (Seemed like the kitchen area was the hang out space between tasks- which feels awkward to go to trying to get a servers attention, and there is no hostess.)

I tried Frenchie's on 4th for a weekday breakfast. Pros: some good things on the menu, including multiple vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. The breakfast bowl I got was excellent (I got the #3). Everyone I was with liked their food as well. The space has some cute photos up. In the middle: the vibe is hard to pin down and it looks a little unfinished inside. Mostly just kind of like it's still finding its footing. Cons: the coffee was some of the worst coffee I've had in a restaurant. It was burnt and not terribly hot. No spoons or sugar substitutes available. Several options on the menu sharpie'd out. These cons to me signal a place that is still not running quite smoothly. The final con is the price point. My bowl, coffee, and a 20% tip was just a smidge under $30. My bowl was on the smaller side for being $18. I'm fine paying that if other things are in order, but my expectation is that for $30 total, there shouldn't be these silly hiccups like no spoons (!) and no sugar substitutes (!!).

If you haven't tried this place out, you absolutely must! The vibe is very OLY and service was amazing! Very friendly and easy going. The decor was literally Frenchie's. Cute pictures of Frenchies throughout the restaurant. Plenty of seating outside, we chose inside because it was bit chilly but I'll definitely sit outside when the weather permits. Street parking. Now to the best part! The food was absolutely delicious and the servings are plentiful. I couldn't finish mine. We ordered 2 breakfast bowls and SOB son of a biscuit. We were all very happy with our delicious food. Prices are fair because they give you a hearty portion and offer a togo box. If you like breakfast, I highly recommend.

Cute little breakfast spot with French Bulldog photos all along the walls. Thankfully there was no wait at all to be seating. I was ecstatic to finally come across a diner that serves orange juice that actually has pulp in it. It was delicious, as was the scrambled eggs, and the breakfast sandwich that included cream cheese and jam. It's all meter street parking here, but free on the weekends. Definitely recommend.

Service was excellent and pleasant, vibe felt local and welcoming. Prices felt fair to high depending on the item Pancakes tasted like a thick funnel cake in a good way Eggs Benedict was perfect and a must get. Flavor and cook were to perfection. Even the spinach had good flavor to it. If you can get it on a biscuit, you should do so. The home fries were delicious as well. You could tell care was put into every aspect of this dish Egg bowl was a miss for me. I wouldn't recommend it unless they re-imagine the dish as a whole. Felt more like an $18, 2 eggs over easy with home fries. I heard there used to be a line around the corner when they sold donuts. Would have loved to try them and hope they add them to the menu. Overall in my opinion, Frenchies is worth coming to and checking out if in the area.

Finding a parking spot is the hardest thing to do, but when you do its a pleasant walk to this corner diner/cafe. It's bright purple with the distinct smell of coffee wafting from their open doors. I walked in and there was one very busy waitress who was doing all the things. She seated me as soon as she had everything in order for herself and it was nice location inside the establishment. There are outside seating too, but I was the only one so I guess inside was best. She immediately gave me a pitcher of ice cold water (which i love) and a menu. I ordered a breakfast bowl #3 with potatoes, red bell peppers, onions, eggs, hollandaise sauce , and spinach because they were out of Microgreens. I also ordered a pancake on the side. The food was delivered in good time. My only complaints are; that was the flattest pancake I've ever gotten. I think they must've over worked the batter. Also maybe dress the spinach with something before putting it on top of a hot dish? Chopped was ok, if it was wilted or steamed with some salt or oil would've put that dish to the top! All in all the food was ok, the service was wonderful and I hope they stay a bit longer. Can't wait to see what they do.

An Eggs Benedict is an Eggs Benedict right? Well not if you add creamed spinach! You heard me, Frenchie's came up with a twist to the classic and instantly made it one of my favs. They also use thick ham steak rather than a thin sad slice of Canadian bacon and it is absolute genius. The hollandaise is light with the perfect amount of lemon and eggs poached perfectly. I like the home style potatoes with grilled onions, slightly crispy but not overdone. The service is friendly and the outdoor seating is perfect for a sunny morning.

The service was friendly even though they were close to closing. I was sad that they no longer have the selection of gluten free donuts and the only option was the one donut with the Bloody Mary. The upside was the drink was great, the donut not so much. I enjoyed the large option of gluten free items and didn't have any cross contamination reactions (I am coeliac). I had the patty melt which was delicious. The rest of my Party had the biscuits and gravy which they said was delicious (a nice little spice due to the chorizo gravy) - it is not gluten free. The other guest had the burger which was very good and has a gluten free option too. Being GF it was nice to have so many delicious options. I'm just bummed about not being able to get more donuts.

The food was very well made, fresh, with fresh ingredients. We had burgers and sandwiches and they were all a hit. Highly recommend.
