They have quite an extensive menu including the typical brunch offerings alongside a variety of sandwiches, pasta, and pizza, so naturally we selected several options to try. Overall, we found everything delicious! The smoked salmon benedict came with a perfectly poached egg and a rich Hollandaise sauce. The spicy shrimp linguine was tossed in a mouthwatering cream sauce that had just the right amount of kick. I also have to give some extra points for presentation - the aesthetics were amazing and made the food that much more appealing. That being said, there wasn't anything truly impressive or unique (or perhaps I've been spoiled by the Toronto brunch scene). Service was excellent in the beginning (the staff was very sweet), but they took quite a long time to start bringing out food and drinks. We did feel very welcome and the vibe in the restaurant is relatively chill and laidback. Definitely a pleasant experience overall and a great way to spend a relaxed afternoon!

Everything is made to order and they use delicious fresh ingredients. This means that you may wait a bit for your order, but well worth it. (You also often have to wait a bit b/c they're always super busy!) Their service is great and super friendly. You will not leave hungry. Just writing this review, I want the avocado toast! For those that don't know, they have an option to order online right on their website. Especially helpful during Covid for easy curbside pick-up. I even saw some art on the walls that I loved and was able to order some prints from the artists on Etsy!

My partner and I stopped in for a quick bfast and were really impressed. Breakfast sandwich was tasty and filling, the Avocado BLT comes with delightfully crisp bacon and a gorgeously light yet crackly bun (at first it looks like a lot of bread but it's surprisingly light and melts away to nothing). Would DEFINITELY eat here again!!

First off this place is so cute, the decor, the vibes, and ambiance is just spot! You can tell they really put in effort to make this a unique and appealing spot. The customer service is amazing and I was happy to be able to get a spot on a busy weekend. All the staff were so kind and especially the owners as well. Now for the important stuff, the food!! They have so many menu items from bagels to eggs to handhelds and everything looked so good. I want to preface Crack'd is definitely has one of the best home fries I have ever tried, they were seasoned to perfection! Since I went with a few friends, we got to try a food different dishes. We tried the Sweet & Savoury (amazing value for soo much food, the Biscoff Pancakes were amazing 10/10), Steak Truffle Mushroom Benedict (was delicious 9/10) and the Truffle Mushroom Omelette (was good just wished it was all mixed together 8/10). I would highly highly recommend you come here if you are ever looking from some good food and good vibes! 9/10 Recommend!!!

I always come here for their brunch plates. They're really customizable; you pick a main, a side of eggs cooked how you like them, sides, and fries of your choosing! My favourite order is the roasted mushroom croissant, mini pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon & sausage, and I always upgrade my fries to the parmesan truffle waffle fries. The portions are HUGE, and the food never disappoints. They also do takeout brunch boxes which are so cute and just as good as the in-store brunch platters!

I love coming here for brunch or breakfast however they don't take reservations. In terms of the service, we came here over an hour before close and they mentioned multiple times that they were closing soon and were sort of watching our table during the process and brought our bill half an hour prior. It was a Thursday evening. Otherwise, the service was fine.

But adding the seasoning, some different toppings and touch from Persian cuisine works perfectly and where fusion feels perfectly natural and not contrived at all. The freshness and seasoning of the beef especially was the real highlight. I always love fresh cut fries which were made upon ordering. Automatically brings it up in my book. I believe it was the owner who was also there preparing the food. A wonderful, hospitable man and you know you're getting the dish the way it's intended. Really should be on a 'best of' list for burgers in the area if it isn't already.

The owner and staff are very friendly and deeply care about providing high quality and tasty food and amazing service. We ordered "The New Orleans Eggs Benedict", "Triple Stack Pancakes", "Belgian Waffle" and "Real Swiss Mushroom Burger". We mixed and matched our pancakes and chose blueberry, chocolate chip and banana and all 3 were delicious. The New Orleans Egg Benedict had a nice caviar topping and was served with a generous portion of seasonal fruits. The waffle was delicious and fresh, served with fruits. The burger was one of the best burgers I've had. The beef patty was juicy, tender and perfectly seasoned. The restaurant has a cozy vibe. There's ample parking spots available in front of the restaurant.

Came here for a super early dinner before our spring concert at the casa loma…read more I ordered the chicken shawarma hummus bowl along with their famous iced tea. The hummus itself was incredibly smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. The freshly baked bread served alongside was another standout as it was soft, pillowy, and perfect for scooping up every last bit of hummus. Unfortunately, the chicken shawarma itself was shopped up into a small pieces and was a little on the dry side. I was also excited to try their famous iced tea after reading the description, but it wasn't quite what I expected. It tasted more like a non alcoholic sangria with lots of fruit than a traditional iced tea. While it was refreshing, I was hoping for a stronger tea flavor, so it ended up being a bit of a letdown. Overall, there were definitely some highlights, especially the hummus and fresh bread. The staff were friendly but service was a little slow even though it wasn't very busy. We were a party of 9 and each dish came out one by one at different times so our kids were already done with their meal before our dishes came out. Portion size was surprisingly generous. It is a great option around the area and I would be open to return to try out other items on their menu.

It was…read morein my neighbourhood and had a special offer for new customers and the reviews have been nothing but great. Now I understand why and why they won the best veal sandwich in Ontario in 2019. The sandwich was beyond delicious. The toppings were fresh and tasty, and the veal was perfectly cut. I could taste the mushrooms, the onions and the veal all in one bite! But the sauce, oh my the sauce! This is the kind of sauce that I would put on everything. Outstanding! The bread held everything together, unlike some sandwiches where everything is falling a part and you're left with chunks of bread and no ingredients. When I was done I was licking the sauce up with the little bit of bread I had saved just so I could eat it with the sauce. The staff here are very friendly and and I felt like family the minute I walked in. Sweet guys who know what they're doing! Don't look any further for a sandwich because nothing beats this place; and I say that as someone who has eaten many sandwiches in Toronto and Italy. The portions are perfect and the price can't be beaten. The overall authentic feel of this place can't be found anywhere else. That classic Italian-old school vibe from folks who love food and know how to prepare it and treat their customers well. I am one happy camper! They also have some ice cream and sorbet and cookies and some of them are vegan and made from scratch. I will definitely be back to try. And they also have a nice picnic table in front where you can sit and enjoy your meal. *usually I post photos of the food but I was too hungry and the sandwich looked too good! You'll understand what I mean when you go here*

I got the spicy chicken sandwich which wasn't really spicy, but did have nice zing to it. The he chicken was really good, a fat chicken breast breaded and smothered in sauce, being held together by two toast buns, omg YUM! The friends had the other two sandwiches, the steak, which looked like a full piece of steak with the toppings wedged between the bun, and was more than we could eat. We really enjoyed the restaurant. And to make it so much better this place makes their own cookies, and have a great selection. Unfortunately I was incredibly full with one half of my sandwich and wasn't able to get the cookie today... but will be back another time to try their desserts!
