This place was so tasty! They made a great flat white coffee, but the avocado toast was amazing! It…read moreis a little higher priced, but totally worth it. It was more of an undone type of avocado toast with seasonings, poached eggs, tomatoes, and some sort of tangy butter or aioli, I'm not sure. It was just so pleasing to the eye and tasty! I did have much more avocado left, so I wished it had a bit more bread but it was still a good amount of food. I would recommend, it seemed to be a busy place with a few tables inside and some outside seating. Also a great spot on regent street next to other shops.

I had their shakshuka (without meat), chillis scrambled eggs with lemon ricotta, which was such a unique and delicious blend of flavors, and their green smoothie. All were super tasty and I thought the prices were reasonable. Their plating is also top-notch and the interior is super cute and instagramable. Went here 3 times and never regretted it!

Recently they've picked up on the newest coffee trend, Bulletproof Coffee, which is boiled espresso with coconut oil and vanilla mixed in. I had to try it, love the slight aftertaste of coconut oil and the occasional hint on vanilla, but I will be sticking to regular long blacks from here on out. Also, $6 is a little steep for a speciality coffee, especially considering the hassle you go through to get to the coffee stop. There is a gravel parking lot on off Montreal Street, but this means you'll be parked on a one-way street headed south. Hope that's the direction you're headed because during rush hour, turning around isn't easy. There are some benches behind the coffee shop where you can sit and enjoy your breakfast and brew if the weather is nice. It's not covered, so if it's raining, I hope you brought an umbrella. The crew behind the counter are cordial, but not exciting, but maybe they haven't had their coffees yet, so I can't judge.

I had the "BS Bene" with a poached egg, house hash, baby spinach, and hollandaise sauce. I thought I was fooled thinking the "BS" meant something else because I was surprised that my eggs were on a bed of potatoes rather than some carbs.
