I really like this place and I love where it's positioned in the neighbourhood. It's so convenient for residents in the area to pop by for a couple groceries, a coffee, or sit down for a meal! The staff and owner are all very down to earth and clearly value what dishes and service they're putting out. The food I've had there was good, though I explained to the server that I have a dairy allergy/omit cheese and they still put melted cheese on my burger. I can't stand to send stuff back so I scraped it off and ate the burger - it was good, sans cheese! So, 4 stars for that mishap because.... allergies. (This doesn't detract from how much the restaurant values their product. It was a mistake clearly!) Otherwise, drinks are solid, food is solid, and 4 stars because I just love the purpose and vibe of this place. It's a gem! Btw I've also been for breakfast and their coffee is GREAT. Their baked goods were dangerously good. I had too many :) read more

Great breakfast, a little cramped inside (could be due to Covid). Nice ambiance and friendly staff.

Lovely space, comfy, great service, amazing food... food is fresh, tasty and with unique teist read more

They are so rude from the moment you open the door to being served. I'd rather go somewhere where they don't scream at you for daring to come in the door during winter. read more

If I could eat brunch every day I would go here! Eggs Benny are on point! Definitely better paired with a mimosa service is good, food is always fresh and usually quick to the table. It's always busy so reservations are required! This is the first suggestion from me when someone asks about a good breakfast read more

I highly recommend this place for carnivores and folks not watching their weight. They have solid brunch options for meat eaters with a vegetarian omelette option (no vegan options) (edit: they've added a crispy tofu option). There aren't many options that are not carbs focused. Which is delicious but not great for regulars. Coffee is strong and delicious. They smoke their own salmon (!) but couldn't tell me if it was farmed or wild. I want to love this place, and they're so.close. to having it all. Okay, who am I fooling? I do love this place. I just wish there was a bit more attention to the details. The atmosphere is fun and friendly. They have board games, puzzles and such for the littles. When we lived in the hood, it was one of our go to places for mommy and son time after school. There aren't many seats so expect to wait on the weekends and on holidays like Mother's and Father's Day. read more

Had dinner on a cool & breezy Monday night in November with my wife & another couple. Our friends had read some positive reviews online, so we decide to give it a try & we were not disappointed. The room itself is very small, but cozy. Service was absolutely terrific. Both servers were very friendly & helpful. The food was really, really good. The menu is small, but quite interesting. I had the trout & it was perfectly cooked. The trout was served with a fantastic warm potato salad & creme fraiche. It was really terrific! We all shared the grilled oyster mushroom salad as well as a scallion tarte, which was a special & not on the regular menu. These were also both great. My wife had the fried chicken with kimchi rice- fantastic. Our friends had the burger & edamame falafel as their mains. Both dishes were super according to them. If I lived in this neighbourhood, I'd be eating here often. It was great. NOTE- all bottles of wine are 1/2 price on Mondays!!! yet another reason to give this little gem a try. read more

Four stars for how most people would probably respond to the food. I had the Eggs Benedict, and wasn't blown away because I'm not a fan of tarragon which was an ingredient in the hollandaise sauce. By "not a fan" I mean I hate it, so the fact I could even finish it is a testament to the overall quality of the preparation. Also, it was served on a biscuit and I think I'd prefer just a regular English muffin. The fingerling potatoes, on the other hand, were probably the best potato-side I've ever had: smashed flat and crispy (so delicious). read more

What a cute and cozy place to enjoy a good brunch on a weekend! The place does get packed but it's worth the wait, the staff are very friendly and gave good service. The food was amazing, I got the egg benedict with in house smoked salmon which were all very tasty! The biscuit that it was served on was really good as well. Overall very impressed! Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again! read more

Great ambiance and style. Sadly a limited brunch menu and no food intolerant options. Grumpy staff.

Such a great spot! It wasn't too busy or crowded which is hard to find for brunch in Toronto. Might have been because it was raining, but nevertheless, the service was great and the food was really good. The star of the show is the ambiance and atmosphere - feels like you're in a tiny cottage with 20 of your closest friends you haven't met yet. read more

This is perhaps one of the most charming places I have ever been. I have visited with family and friends for drinks and had a stunning brunch there are enjoyed the savoury French toast which was divine! They did not hold back on the blueberries so I left with a very happy blackened teeth smile. Absolutely worth it. Customer service is excellent and one of the coziest and most charming places I have ever had the pleasure of hanging out in. If you want to avoid waiting forever for a seat, since it is not a large restaurant, make reservations, especially on the weekend. Oh and you can get brunch on weekday afternoons too! read more

Back a few times now. Always great food and alcohol choices. Great service. Nice patio. Beware, limited seating.

Delicious food for brunch. But small and packed full of kids. I'm sure that makes the families happy, but adults were definitely outnumbered when I was there. Luckily we had no trouble getting a table, but I imagine it could be a long wait. Coffee can come in a carafe to share which is an amazing idea. I had the sandwich with pancakes, sausage, eggs and waffles. Amazing! Would come back again but maybe after the kids go to bed. read more

Best bread in Toronto. Excellent selection of wine you won't find in LCBO. Brunch menu is awesome so is takeaway bowls.

I came here for an impromptu lunch and was quite taken by its homey charm and delicious food. I decided on their omelette with arugula, red pepper jelly, scallions, cheddar, fingerlings and found it to be one of the tastiest omelettes I've had in quite some time. The red pepper jelly really balanced well with the scallions but was delectable in its entirety. Additionally the fingerling potatoes were cooked absolutely perfect, crispy on the outside and with a touch of sea salt. I would certainly return here again to see what their dinner menu has to offer. Absolutely worth checking out if you are in the area. read more

Wow. I reviewed this location (poorly) a few years back and have been ignoring it since there were no obvious changes to the store front (at least to my jaundiced eye). Ate there tonight and had probably the best meal I've eaten east of Yonge St. Everything was great. The Mushroom/green salad. The Duck Confit. The bread pudding for dessert was the best I've ever had. Great service in a small venue. I'll be going back! read more

Solid! Brunch and Dinner are both amazing. Good ingredients, good family atmosphere, few tables and kind and fun service. They are a gem in the hood and hope they stay like this for a long time. read more

We expected this to be a family friendly establishment for lunch with 2 babies (12 and 13 months). Waitress was not friendly and seemed irritated by the presence of the babies. Both babies had their own bibs and plates and we ordered a meal for each one (4 meals all together). Waitress very rudely suggested that the babies were in her way, by scolding one of the moms infront of another table of guests (there could have been a different tone and words used). All around terrible service. It's too bad cause the food is good. We will never return. read more

Wonderful local corner spot that makes a solid brunch as well as lunch and dinner options. Have been consistently impressed by the food and also a reliable place to grab a coffee and pastry in morning. I also love to buy eggs from their grocery section - they are super tasty with a dark yolk more common to free run and farm fresh sources. read more

Discovered this place a few weeks ago with my boyfriend and now we both make it a point to grab our weekly cappuccino, almond croissant, and scone from here. Best baked goods on the east end so far! Haven't gotten to try lunch or dinner here yet, but the menu looks great! read more

Really quaint little place off the beaten path. Loud but only because it's so cozy. Great food!

Lovely neighbourhood resto with great noms and friendly attentive service. First visit on a rainy November Friday night at 6:30 pm: completely packed! Only one of five seats avail at the bar; two separate couples had to be turned away. Sampled the small charcuterie platter -- very tasty selection -- the local smoked salami is flavourful + nice and fatty with great salt content. Perfect combo with the Rorschach IPA. Note: Friendly family locals having dinner do not break the experience and adds to the casual ambience. Second visit (not raining): Savoury duck hearts, micro greens and crispy toasted crostini with a pint of Collingwood Downhill. Me likey. Walked out quite satisfied and happy with the return on value. Third visit (unseasonably warm fall evening): Korean fried chicken and kim chi rice with shanghai bok choy -- lightly spiced and nicely composed tastes -- spicy, sweet, light + crispy chicken (Translation: not oily). The bok choy adds a nice textural balance and the rice with pickled cabbage + a dash of kim chi oil rounds out the plate. Enjoyed with two pints of Blood Bros IPA. Fantastic visit. Taps rotate regularly. Menu changes seasonally according to market ingredients with minor adjustments to account for local patron feedback and tastes. Will definitely venture back and enjoy a relaxing Sunday for an eggs benny toast brunch. Give it a try--you might just fall in love with this family-friendly local... read more

Cute and cozy atmosphere, eclectic vintage decor (if you're into that ;)). Food was very good and filling. Savoury French toast was delicious and well balanced. Scrambled eggs were done to perfection. Would recommend. read more

Staff was attentive and personable . The food however was just OK . I waited far too long for my appetizer and the fried chicken was burnt . The batter falling off in large clumps . The cheesecake dessert was amazing . A real hit and miss affair . read more

Love the pork belly French toast brunch!! Also the $5 happy hour drinks is delicious and they change menu as well. The patio is cozy.

Used to be my favourite local spot for brunch with my family, drinks with my friends and dinners with my husband... Often eating there once or twice a week. Sadly after the treatment I received yesterday from an extremely rude and unpleasant server, I will think twice before returning. My group of 10 adults and small children would have happily waited for a table at the nearby park, and could have easily squeezed into the large table we've sat at many times before. Instead I was rudely told we would not be accommodated and there was no way of knowing how long until the table would be free. A little politeness goes a long way, and I have always had such lovely service from the staff there. Always friendly and polite. This was horrible and completely unacceptable. I am truly sad to be losing this great neighbourhood spot because of such horrendous service. read more

The space is packed but quite cozy. French toast is one of the best I ever had. It is worth 15 min waiting at the bar.

Have eaten here a few times as I have family who live a block away. But yesterday when we stopped by, the staff was extremely unaccommodating. We were a group of ten (parents and kids) looking for a table for lunch. The waitress told us they were unable to accommodate such a group. But this same group has eaten here countless times as they push the tables against the back wall together and it works perfectly. The waitress did not say there was a wait time or do anything to help. Just simply that they could not accommodate us. So we took our business (and our money) elsewhere (Queen Margherita Pizza which was delicious and hospitable). Management should take a closer look at the staff and clean house if they want to maintain their customer base. Until then, Adios Bodega. read more

The place is cozy, the staffs super nice. There are even bored games for you to play with. The brunch menu was simple with a few selections which made it easy for me to decide what to try. I ordered the Waffle Benedict with peameal. It took longer than usual for the meal to arrive but it was worth the wait. I wish the peameal was a bit more well done, but overall everything was really delicous. Would definitely come back. read more

I've been coming here for a couple years, and it remains a delight very visit. The tall blonde w/ glasses server / bartender is a gem -- we love her, and worth a visit alone for her impeccable service and great energy. Plus, the food always hits a home run, brunch or dinner. read more

Cozy, ambient, hygge, hip. Classy comfort food and a perfectly-balanced lavender gin and tonic. Will return. Take the 506 eastbound or get off Line 2 at Woodbine and head south. read more

Quiet, friendly vibe located in the Upper Beaches neighbourhood. It's a coffee shop that also serves brunch and pastries and snacks. They also serve ice cold beer and have a fantastic outdoor patio. Very family friendly or good to bring a book or laptop and catch up on some reading/emails. Definitely a recommended spot if youre ever in the area. Staff are super friendly and helpful as well! Hope you enjoy your visit as much as I have! read more

What a wonderful find for brunch. Great coffee, service and food. Cozy spot, perfect for a rainy autumn day

I've only been to BH for dinner and drinks. The place is fantastic. Excellent cocktails, respectable beer selection, brilliant food, super friendly service, cozy ambiance. Looking forward to going for brunch one of these days, I've heard great things. read more

Everyhting I had was rich and greasy. Sambal lime chicken wings are divine, but try pairing that with a salad and what you end up with is an over oiled arugula with deep fried artichoke. I will try again but you have to choose selectively there's a lot of fried things plus cheese and other rich ingredients in many menu items. Why must it be this way? read more

Best brunch in the neighborhood. House smoked salmon is my go to every weekend. Staff is friendly and everyone walks for brunch from the neighborhood read more

Been here 2x & food and service are outstanding. The grilled oyster mushrooms with crispy artichoke, and grilled lemon? OMG - so good. Like weak in the knees good. When I ordered it, the server thanked me for getting it! It is a tiny space, so best to make reservations. Great vibe, great food. We love Bodega Henriette. read more

Eclectic menu. Absolutely delicious food (best burger ever!) Wonderful waitress. Great little patio. There's nothing not to love!

I love this place and have been coming here religiously since it opened for brunch but something happened this weekend that turned my stomach. I get that this is a family restaurant but the dining room table is not a place to change a diaper. When I brought it up with the staff the excuse was that they didn't have a changing table. Unacceptable excuse. This is unsanitary and, frankly, disrespectful to patrons. The parents and the staff should know better. read more
