Went for brunch with friends, and we decided to try this new brunch spot. When we found out that…read morethey served middle eastern style cuisine, i definitely had expectations, and they were successfully exceeded. I ordered the blackberry peach lemonade, and I would honestly go back just for that. It was sweet, refreshing, and just the right amount of ice. It paired nicely with the cilbir and spicy potatoes, which tasted so good. If you ever need any convincing to get a savoury breakfast, the cilbir and spicy potatoes are not only extremely filling, but it's a good amount of diverse textures and flavours, and it's not as heavy as a classic american breakfast/ brunch. The veggies and the yogurt balance out the oily parts of the dish, and the pita lets you scoop up any of the remaining sauce on the plate. Definitely a 10/10 breakfast, I just wish the indoor seating wasn't so cramped. Lovely food, nice servers and good service. Eggstatic will be seeing me soon !!

Major yikes for this place, it was quite disappointing to begin with. Our server was non existing,…read more as side from the water on the table and placing our orders she never came to check up on us. There was another staff that came by to check and the only time she ever came back was when we had to ask another server for the bill and she brought it over. We ordered the steak & eggs which was $28 and it was not edible. It looked like stir fry, chewy and tough as if it was the last portion sitting in a pan on top of the stove. It was so salty we had to let them know we couldn't eat it without getting hypertension and I assume the manager came over to give us a fresh one to go but still the beef was tough to eat. We also got the spicy Nashville Benny for $25 and the chicken looked as if it was frozen from a bag, nothing nashville about it. The smoked salmon benny was just as disappointing with two small pieces of salmon on each, you could barely see the existence of it. The only thing that looked and tasted good was the tres leches pancake which came out fresh, fluffy and presentable.

The atmosphere was so cute, and comfortable, they had new large yellow mugs that was yolk coloured, and beautiful hand crafted drinks with pretty pictures in the foam. I was very surprised to see the quality here, as most places just give you a straight pour of foam on top and it doesn't feel like a barista made your drink. It truly was so delightful to see the care they took with making their food and the presentation was just beautiful! The food also was excellent! My bacon was perfectly cooked, I don't like chewy bacon, they made the perfect crispy not burnt bacon I've ever had. The eggs were perfectly poached, and the excess whites were removed for the presentation, and my eggs were nested into my bacon, sitting in a bed of salad. My goodness was I ever so impressed. I would expect this from a Michelin star restaurant, and with slower service, but I'm thoroughly impressed with the speed of the food, service, and again quality of everything. My friend had the chicken and waffles. This was so close to perfect, I didn't like the seasoning on the chicken which was too flavourful for me, but the crunch, moisture in the chicken, the soft but dense waffle, and the maple butter combination... there is nothing better than this! I asked for my strawberry butter to be subbed they did it, and there was not extra charges on our bills for silly items like this. This place is solid! Exceptional quality of food, service, and over all experience. I didn't think I could find a place to truly enjoy going out to eat, but this one just blew my mind. Thank you to all the staff for making our meal experience one we will remember for a very long time.

Wonderful local resto on Gerrard west of Woodbine…read more The food is wonderful. We tried it out for brunch last Sunday. Lots of options including some creative options and a lot of Benedict's. They also make a lot of baked goods to take away (cookies, scones and beignets). The roasted potatoes with the brunch offerings were sooo good. One of the best I've had. You can reserve online during the week but on the weekend it's waitlist only. Just keep in mind. It's a rather small establishment maybe about eight tables. Having said that well worth the visit so do check it out sometime. Parking is on the street nearby or you can get there on the TTC via street car.

Sweet treats + comfort eats = my new go-to spot!…read more If you haven't been to the D Spot Kingston Cliffside location yet... what are you doing?! This place is an absolute vibe. Of course, their legendary desserts are front and center--loaded waffles, gooey brownies, and milkshakes that are basically a meal--but what really surprised me? Their savory menu is too! We're talking poutines, pastas, sandwiches, hotdogs--legit comfort food that actually hits the spot. So whether you're sweet or salty (or a bit of both), they've got you covered. Now let me take a second to shout out Warmie, the MVP of our visit. Super friendly, welcoming, and just genuinely cool. Warmie made our experience feel like we were regulars on our first time. THAT'S the kind of service that keeps people coming back. The whole place has a chill, cozy vibe that makes you wanna linger--and with this menu, you probably will. Already planning my next visit. Stretchy pants engaged.

The desserts are absolutely massive and you can easily share 1 amongst 2 or 3 people.

Wife got the peanut butter banana funnel cake with twist soft serve and she enjoyed it. She almost finished it lol We probably should've shared 1 dessert between the 2 of us, but variety. Highly recommend to satisfy that sweet tooth or sugar craving that won't break the bank.

If you're GF Not Worth Jumping Through the Hoops…read more When I found this place online, I was so excited. When one must follow a gluten-free diet, it is so nice to find places where you can eat what everyone else gets to enjoy. This was anything but enjoyable. I was planning a little Halloween getaway to Kingston and searching for a new and exciting breakfast place to stop on my way there. I found Heaffles and read through their website--I'm always very careful and vet my restaurants before the trip and plan food meticulously, you have to when you cannot eat gluten. The site stated that if you want a gluten free waffle, you must call 24 hours ahead of time. I immediately thought that was ridiculous (that eliminates any possibility of a GF person walk-in from eating there) but messaged them on Instagram. I asked if I could message then and schedule or did a I have to call. They told me I must call the day before. Pain in the bum, but I set a reminder in my phone and did so. The next day, I show up. Such a cute place and the breakfast that kicks off a trip always makes me so happy. We don't eat out much at all, living so rurally. It had also been ages since I'd enjoyed a GF waffle, so excitement was high. This place has a ton of potential. The seating is cute, the bathrooms clean and so beautifully decorated. There is even a little cubby with cushions that would make it feel as though one was having breakfast in bed. I really did fall in love with the space. There didn't appear to me to be a traditional server comes to your table. You walk in and place your order at the counter. I ordered a Flat White to drink along with a water and a gluten-free coconut rush. The young lady at the counter was very quick to tell me that they had a customer coming in to get a GF waffle and that they only had enough batter for one waffle and that I would need to try again and call 24 hours beforehand. Right before I told her I was that customer, my brain was like, what? You have enough batter for ONE waffle??? I make GF stuff all the time. It is NOT that expensive. And what if you mess up that ONE waffle (and they did because she didn't listen to me)? I said, "Oh, I called yesterday." And I had driven a very long way. I would hate for anyone else to do that and end up disappointed. After that, I was allowed to order my waffle. Coconut is my favourite sweet flavour, but it came with strawberries and strawberry syrup. I told her THREE times I didn't want the strawberries or the syrup. Strawberry jam, jelly syrup...I hate them all, also cannot stand cooked fruit. She told me she could put the strawberries on the side and that they were uncooked. I said that was okay, but reiterated AGAIN that I do not want or like the strawberry syrup. I thought I might get my drinks at the counter, but she said they would bring everything to my table. I sat within view of the counter by the window. I assumed, as at most places, the drinks would come out first. I had started on the Terra Health heartburn kit to kick my PPI script and needed to take the supplements before eating. Some ladies came in after me and they got their drink order while I sat and waited. The waffle came out, and I was too panicked by not taking my supplements to pay that much attention and told them I needed some water and that I didn't have my coffee yet. They came back in a few minutes and in the meantime, I saw that the waffle I'd paid nearly $30 for, along with a very tiny flat white coffee, was drenched...every inch in yucky strawberry syrup. I'm a silver lining kind of girl, so I told myself to try it, maybe my tastes have changed. Nope. It was this strong, chemically strawberry flavour that made me gag. Talk about disappointed. At this point it was late in the morning and I was starving. I opened up the waffle (the size, even if they'd managed to listen to my order was not worth what I paid) and ate some of the filling out. The only waffle that had no nasty syrup was at the fold and I ate the four bites I could. The coffee was literally 3 swallows. I left hungry and angry. And in all that time, no one ever came back to ask me how the order was...and I knew I couldn't send it back because that was their ONE GF waffle batter of the day. I had to stop at Wendy's and spend another $10 for a bunless burger after. I would never go back. The ask and not having the batter available is beyond RIDICULOUS, despite the fact they don't listen, which makes a GF person VERY nervous. You couldn't pay me to eat there again. Poor service, poor value and food I couldn't stomach. Not for me.

This one popped up on my radar and I thought I'm going to go check it out. Located in a home Depot shopping center, it was pretty easy to find. Upon entering the place, it had a very cheery bright atmosphere. I was able to grab myself a table and take a seat. Robin, my server, was there in a heartbeat to grab me some coffee. The coffee itself is very tasty, they have a fairly comprehensive menu, and had plenty of options. One thing I was actually stunned about was the low prices. A breakfast of two eggs, bacon and home fries was only $6.99. I jumped in and ordered a couple upgrades including a pancake on the side and the peameal bacon. Again, this was one of the most amazing meals I've had. I had never experienced this type of bacon before, and now I am absolutely hooked. Everything overall was cooked perfectly. Seasoned excellently and I can't say enough nice things about this place. Service was on point, food and atmosphere was all there. Bottom line? I will definitely be hitting this place again, and you should too. I was told that it gets pretty busy and sometimes can be a line out the door so get there early, or just be prepared to hang out for a while.

The service here is always friendly and fast. I barely waited at all for my drink or the waffle. And it is the perfect little spot to sit and work or catch up with friends. With the location being over by Riverworks, it kind of feels off the beaten path and a little bit of a secret, which I also love. I will definitely be back for more!
