    If you check the low online reviews of this place - poor service and poor food quality are the common reasons for the negative feedbacks from customers. You would think that management will addressed these concerns. I guess not, since it's an ongoing thing and I've experienced it firsthand. We went for their breakfast and ordered the Protein Packed Omelette and also ordered the Shakshuka with a choice of challah bread. The omelette which contains turkey bacon and beef sausage tasted bland. It doesn't even taste good and primarily because of the minuscule meat quantity in the omelette. So basically you're just eating scrambled eggs and for 20 bucks definitely not worth it! When I got my order of Shakshuka it came with a multigrain bread instead of challah which is what I originally selected. When I told the server (Eden) about this, all she said was 'I put in a challah bread with your Shakshuka.' No apologies from this server nor the willingness to correct the mistake. Clearly you can tell that staff here don't even care about customer's concerns. And this is not the only occurrence of their bad service. When you ask for something like say butter, expect it to arrive at your table when you're almost close to finishing your bread. That's how slow their service is. And the Shakshuka was such a disappointment. Eggs were unevenly cooked, the tomato sauce so salty. Definitely the worst Shakshuka I've ever tried. For a restaurant that doesn't value customers, staff that continuously delivers bad customer service and inconsistent food quality - a repeat visit is highly unlikely to happen and will certainly not recommend this place to families and friends.

    I ordered Italian pizza and Affogato. The pizza was so-so, hardly better than cheese pizza at any corner pizzeria. Ice cream in Affogato was hardly better than a bucket of vanilla ice cream from Chapman's. - I'm not sure why they offer these items on the menu if it's nothing special.

    I saw someone else order croissant benedict last time and wanted to try it too, since it seemed to have all my favorite foods together. And it really was quite good! But you don't necessarily have to eat there; I'm sure there are other places that are even better. To be fair, the potatoes that came with it were delicious; I don't know what seasoning they added that made them so fragrant.

    Loved this spot! Even though the restaurant was packed, the service was impressively quick. Just a heads up: there was a pretty long line to get a seat, but it moved steadily and was definitely worth the wait. Such a great breakfast/brunch place. The poached eggs were perfectly done, and the knefe was absolutely amazing -- easily one of the highlights of the meal. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and very reasonably priced. Would absolutely come back again!

    Just picked up takeout this time around. The restaurant was busy even right after opening. It's cute and quaint and had a great menu selection. My order was tasty, but it did sit on the counter for a while until I gave a wee nudge. understandable in such a busy establishment, but perhaps room for organization improvement. Other than that, I was happy enough!

    Nutella Latte
    Shaguna W.

    Loved the food, service and many variety. We sat out on the patio which was beautiful and not crowded. Service was friendly and at a nice pace. Turkish coffee was fantastic! So rich and delicious. Shared the Mezza Platter which was a whole meal on its own. The pita is unbelievable! Had the grilled Mediterranean salmon. It was good but very thin slice. The crushed potatoes on the side were delicious! Loved the falafel, so light and the hummus was thick and creamy. Can't wait to go back!

    Got the shawarma and it was so filling!! Delicious and am happy about the food! The staff was friendly too

    I came here for breakfast during the week while I was traveling for business. The staff recommended the shakshuka breakfast and definitely a wonderful recommendation. The sauce was flavored perfectly and paired so well with the bread. I also like the fact that it came with a morning salad to get my vegetables in for the day. I also ordered a matcha latte and it was super delicious.

    Food was mediocre & my cocktail was awful. The service was very nice tho. Loved the patio seating on a crisp Autumn day but not enough to make me come back.

    Eggs Benedict Florentine with a Nutella Latte on the left and a regular latte on the right.

    Please note: a co-reviewer joined me to assess this café. We both ordered the very first item on the menu in order to hone down the quality of food. We ordered the 'Eggs Benedict Florentine' and were quite pleased with what we tasted. THE MEAL - Critique - There was not much Hollandaise sauce to be seen or tasted, which was a disappointment. The menu also inaccurately described the item as including avocados which it did not. - Positives - Prior to this, we had not seen homefries done in the manner presented at Café Landwer. They are mini russet potatoes, halved and fried. The result was a crispy exterior with an interior no different from baked potatoes. THE SERVICE - Critique - Seating, ordering and receiving food was snappy. However, getting the bill after finishing our meal took about 15 minutes after requesting for it. - Positives - All servers and greeters were very friendly and welcoming. Tables were clean and food was well presented! AMBIANCE The ambiance at this café is a unique blend of 1950's American Diner with 1960's Rustic styles. The tables are tiled with ceramic which is a nice touch. Rating - 8/10: Two points deducted for delayed billing.

    Love this place! Great prices and great service. I asked for a few modifications and they were very accommodating. The food was great and big portions. Nice old school diner setting.

    If you're looking for a quick and reliable place to fuel up, you can depend on Cafe Landwer to deliver! Everything came freshly prepared and the bustling café ambiance highlighted the fact that I was right in the heart of the city. Lots of savory and sweet options to choose from, and they do a great takeout business as well. Service could be a bit better.

    I honestly think the tiramisu and the halloumi sticks were the best here, easily a 10/10. I don't think cafe landwer is a great spot for dinner even though they have quite a few vegetarian options. The ambiance is cute and this place is always busy so I recommend getting a reso. Service was pretty quick too

Pierina guided us via phone and even came outside of the restaurant and waved as we approached. That was awesome Customer service as well as kindness. Ambiance was chill inside. Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

I ordered a latte and grabbed two goodies for the road, a raspberry croissant and a ginger molasses cookie. The staff working were welcoming and friendly and my items were ready rather quickly. Once I got back to my hotel, I settled in to enjoy and get some work done. My latte was smooth and creamy and just what I needed to get my day started. My raspberry croissant was beautiful and packed full of flavor. The filling wasn't too sweet and there was just the right amount inside. I saved my cookie for a snack while I traveled home later that day. I love how it had chunks of sugared ginger on top. The cookie had the perfect amount ​of chew to it and the ginger on top added an extra burst of ginger. It was lovely. I'm so glad I found this cafe on Yelp and I highly suggest you pay them a visit. I'm still dreaming of all the pastries I didn't get to try.

A quick Yelp check pointed me to this spot a brisk eight-minute walk from Queen Station on Yonge, and I'm so glad I made the detour instead of heading to one of my usual haunts. I was seated immediately. The place has lots of seating -- high tops, tables and booths -- and a cool, eclectic vibe: comfy chairs, interesting wall photos, eggshell light fixtures and cheerful yolk‑yellow and orange tones. Big glass windows make it a fun people‑watching spot, and the open kitchen lets you see the cooks hustling away. I ordered the classic breakfast (just over $18): two scrambled eggs -- soft and perfect -- plus herb potatoes fried in beef tallow (I swapped those for lightly dressed artisan greens). You choose your protein -- bacon, Canadian bacon, rosemary ham, chicken, or pork bangers -- and I went with the hardwood‑smoked bacon: three perfectly cooked slices. Coffee was ethically sourced, and my mochaccino hit the sweet spot -- not too sugary. All in all 10 out of 10. I plan to try their gluten free waffle next time. Extras worth noting: they offer booze, smoothies, juices, and a $4.75 "coffee bump" (1 oz of Irish cream, Kahlúa, whiskey, bourbon, brandy, or Grand Marnier). Eggs are free‑run. Service was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable -- got me in and out without feeling rushed, back at my desk before 1 pm. I'll definitely be back -- next time with friends so I have an excuse to order everything on the menu. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a well‑made, comforting breakfast-anytime (and possibly a legal excuse for a midday coffee bump).

But something for everyone. The service wasn't exactly with a smile-- I get it, you're busy, it's a lot.
