Very cute spot. Great service and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming. I really enjoyed my carbonated latte and the biscuit breakfast sandwich that I ordered!
The breakfast here is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the biscuit with egg, pimento cheese, and bacon. The biscuits themselves taste so good, and the pimento cheese takes it over the top. If you're in the area, definitely stop in!
Wonderful experience! Great flavors, fresh food, great atmosphere to spend a leisurely brunch with our daughter! Super- friendly staff :)
This place is a must. We enjoyed our lunch of strawberry salad on fresh baby bibb lettuce with an unbelievably delicious dressing. I also had a turkey avocado mozzarella sandwich that was also very good. The food was outstanding and very reasonably priced. Another win for Murphysboro!
Great atmosphere for a quick snack, warm coffee or hardy lunch. Good for individuals or families. The interior is bright and inviting giving the older building a great new look. Just wish Faye' was in my hometown!!
Finally got a chance to drop in and check out Faye and it did NOT disappoint!! Their biscuits and gravy are to die for - fresh flaky biscuits with gravy that’s got the slightest kick… so good!! Ordered an iced vanilla bean and salted caramel latte and it was just fantastic. The perfect pick me up after a hot hike …
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 …
A “must stop” on any visit to Southern IL! Bright, sunny vibe and excellent service. Highly recommend the chicken salad sandwich, blueberry balsamic salad, and iced cardamom peach latte.
Fantastic boutique breakfast cafe. I am so glad that Faye opened in Murphy. This truly is a wonderful addition to southern Illinois. I can see this being a destination for anyone who wants to make a good impression on out of town guests. Lattes were $5-6 and were quite good but a little sweet. Portions are great for the price. …
Cute lil diner that has some grocery options up for purchase. I got the seasoned potatoes and they were tasty, filling, and gluten free. Will be back to try the protein salad and purchase some peppermint salt.
