Funcle's Café - Hamden, Connecticut

Em

Funcle’s Café is a great location with friendly staff and delicious food. We came in at lunch time and were greeted by helpful staff. They quickly took our order and served our food. The portions were very large, especially for the lower prices, and the food was delicious. The BLT had fresh and crunchy tomatoes and lettuce, and had a great ratio of ingredients. It also featured tons of bacon. The muffin was warm with melty chocolate chips and was covered in powdered sugar. The best was easily the Breakfast Burrito (which I didn’t get a picture of because we ate it so quickly, but was incredible). Easily the best breakfast burrito we’ve ever had. It was warm, tasty, and packed with a perfect combination of ingredients. Everything was excellently prepared, and the pico de gallo, garlic aïoli, and home fries added a perfect touch to the breakfast burrito. As we left we had to give our compliments to the chef. Needless to say, as we told them, we will certainly be back for more the next time we’re the in the area. Check out Funcle’s Café the next time you’re nearby! You won’t be disappointed.

The dining room was adorable and comfortable. The food was delicious. I had the eggs Benedict, and everything was amazing - The eggs were cooked beautifully, the hollandaise was super tasty, the potatoes were crispy and well seasoned. Easily the best breakfast I've had since moving back to CT about a year ago.

I also ordered the frozen matcha drink. It was good, really rich, but not super strong on the matcha flavor.

A very nice restaurant, excellent service, high quality food

Found a new restaurant that’s welcoming and very friendly. Followed by excellent service, with a lot of attention to you and the details of your order.

With that being said I have worked my way thru their menu and have been very pleased with everything I’ve ordered. It’s all fresh, made to order with large portions. Also, all the desserts are made on sight which I have tried again and again.

It’s nice to have found a restaurant like this.

If you have the opportunity to go eat there, do not hesitate!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!

Funcle's Café!!! Our favorite brunch spot to start our day! They take such care in the delivery of their food. We always find ourselves giving compliments to the chef. The ingredients are always fresh making the dish so good. I've had lots of items on their menu but my favorite is their French Toast and Eggs Benedict. The Avocado Toast loaded is always great too. Even a simple egg and cheese on a bagel is so well put together. Thanks to Allison, one of the owners, she gave me a sample of the frozen mocha coffee which turned out to be something I order now every time I come! It's so good!
Thanks to the staff for always making it a fun experience and taking good care of us! We love coming here!

I had heard great things about Funcle’s, and I’m so happy we finally made a visit! Their frozen coffee is really a game changer, and my boyfriend loved that his eggs Benny came with prosciutto. It was recommended to me to get the Cali Gal, which was off-menu at the time, but sometimes appears as a special. The combo of avocado, onions, hash brown, and the egg made it a savory, delicious breakfast sandwich that I would definitely order again. Their cinnamon roll and chocolate chip cookie scones were also fantastic! The staff was great, and we were happy to have snagged a table here. Definitely a must-stop if you’re in the Hamden area for breakfast!

This place is phenomenal!! I got the shamrock shake and their famous chicken and waffles. I think the whole thing cost me $20, and it was well worth it.
The shake was huge. I could have made a meal of that on its own. I liked the chocolate on the sides, the maraschino cherries were yummy, and it was minty without tasting like toothpaste.
The chicken and waffles were the highlight of the meal, though. The syrup is legit maple syrup that is bordering on maple sugar - it's clear it's great quality and it isn't the cheap syrup most stores buy. I think it may even have been local. Basically, anything I didn't use, I kept because it was soooo good!!
The chicken literally melted in my mouth. The batter outside was crispy and flavorful, and it stayed on the chicken. The chicken itself was juicy and I was seriously in heaven!! For those who are interested, I think the chicken is chicken breast.
The waffles were nice and thin. They were slightly crispy and very good with the syrup. The best part is they complimented the fried chicken perfectly. Usually, when I get chicken and waffles, I tend to eat them separately but this meal really was better together.

I'm extremely excited we found such a good breakfast place and we will be back again!

Really like their matcha green tea. Their chicken and waffles are very good. The avocado toast with poached egg is very messy so beware. Prices are a bit steep for me personally. Will probably go back for the beverages only. Suggest eating everything there while it's fresh. Although the chicken and waffles were ok microwaved. The Philly cheesestake was only ok.
