Great breakfast and service Reasonable and enjoyable with a handy convenient location

This was our first stop in Toronto, CAN. It was a small and cute mom and pop restaurant. The service was amazing. One lady held it down. She took order, served and host. She was great. The food was delicious. We ordered one item that one of us had and it was "PEA MEAL" that was delicious. But to us it was just ham, but good ham. I ordered the Florentine eggs Benedict. It was good but I loved my hash brown more. My friends got the normal steak and eggs which she said was really good. Salmon Benedict was good too. Coffee was just a drip! Not bad but the creamer was different. 2% and I think it was 10% not my usual kind of creamer. Parking was street metered. read more

Great Atmosphere, great food, fantastic service! This is a Top brunch/lunch spot in GTA!!

Enjoyed an awesome late breakfast here with my brother and loved the experience! We both ordered eggs Benny with peameal and I was beyond impressed, the peameal was probably the best I've ever had and the dish was really good. read more

Ordered the standard breakfast and a coffee and was overcharged by about $4 and then when I checked my credit card statement an extra $1 was added to the bill....won't be going back here!!! read more

I was craving a clubhouse sandwich, and thought about Creme de la Creme. Having been here a number of times for their brunch pre-pandemic, I was looking forward to trying their sandwiches as well. I called in advanced, put the order in for my Clubhouse (layered with bacon strips, tomatoes, Havarti cheese, fresh chicken breast and lettuce), and it was ready for pickup when I arrived. The place was empty, as dine-in was not allowed due to covid restrictions. Service was prompt and efficient. Serving size of the sandwich was fine. Unfortunately the experience was not the best. I was expecting a freshly prepared sandwich, but it felt a bit stale. Looking forward to when the dining room reopens and hopefully the food experience will be better! read more

Creme De La Creme Cafe - Clubhouse - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

For a delivery experience, this breakfast was more than I hoped for. The portions, super large. Ordered way too much, I packed it away and those potatoes lasted days and multiple meals. The pancakes, so fluffy and never would've expected how amazing they were. This is my new go to for breakfast food! read more

This breakfast place serves hand down the BEST egg benedicts in the city. Cooked to perfection. read more

Really enjoyed our breakfast - highly recommend. Great service as well. Food was served fast and and was delish

I absolutely love this place! The waitress/hostess is such a nice and attentive worker, and the food is deeelicious! Not crazy about the shredded/burnt hashbrowns, but aside from that, super cute! It's just such a happy place! Would recommend! read more

The BLT comes with a side of rosti - excellent! Friends had 1.the Club sandwich, and 2. the pea meal-egg sandwich. All we're giving very positive reviews! We'll be returning regularly. read more

I did a search for the best brunch spots in Etobicoke and Creme de la Creme came up so we thought we'd give it a try. It's a crammed spot, very busy but the food and service is great. We each had a a 1/2 order of pancakes with a side of bacon. The pancake was crispy on the edges and soft and tender in the centre and it was sooo good! It soaked up the syrup just nicely. Bacon was perfectly done, not too crisp, not too chewy. Our server, Irena, was really sweet and friendly. I wish I had taken a picture of my breakfast/brunch but I was pretty hungry and so there was no time to waste. We will definitely return to this spot because those pancakes can't be beat! Lots of paid parking across Bloor St, on either side of the side street, behind the Shoppers Drug Mart and the CiBC. A tip: get the Green P app, it works really well! read more

Wemt there on a smoked salmon craving. Got an omelette with smoked salmon and a smoked salmon sandwich to go. Ate the sandwich on the way to the hotel. It was banging (delicious). Got to the hotel and started the omelette. There was no salmon! I called and the lady says they misunderstood and didnt put salmon on the omelette, but they didnt charge us for It. I can't tell from the CC receipt. She offered to make us a free omelette but we're too far away now... Dangit! read more

I have been going to Creme de La Creme for at least 10+ years. I have just read over other reviews, which I do not agree with. This place is the best breakfast place I have ever been to and the service is always the best. I always get the eggs Benedict, classic breakfast, waffles, or pancakes (which in my opinion are the best). Even recently, I am convinced the food has only gotten way better because they are perfecting the recipes! Definitely one of my all time favourite restaurants and I recommended this place to everyone I know - and they always agree it's the best too! read more

Great little spot for breakfast. Very unassuming from the outside, but it was full of people when we went in. I had the standard breakfast without meat and my husband had the smoked salmon eggs benedict. The portion sizes were huge and really filling. Moderately priced, and not any cheaper than any other breakfast spot. Wonderfully friendly service. read more

The service was alright. Food was kinda burnt, or I'd say over cooked for a standard breakfast place. I found a fine hair In my meal. Will not return. read more

Located in the Kingsway neighbourbood, I'd heard about this place from a friend and wanted to try it out. We arrived on Sunday for brunch and as expected there was a full house with a bit of a line up. When a place is this packed you know that what's in store is gonna be good. After a very short wait our trio was seated and handed menus. Then 30 seconds after being handed the menu our server barked at us "if we were ready to order." Did I pass out? Did I miss the customary 5 minute menu review period? Am I on drugs? No. Our server was on high alert and had decided to throw social norms and common courtesy to the wind today, and our table would suffer for it. We asked her to give us 2 minutes and that was the last we saw of her for nearly 15 minutes! When we were finally able to flag her, she continued her rushed approach to service, barely acknowledging our inquiries or order, just pushing us through the process as opposed to letting us enjoy our brunch experience. I won't harp on the service much longer but let's just say we received more of the same over the course of our brunch, to the point where we weren't even asked if we wanted more coffee, just poured a full cup as she walked by. When our food finally arrived she handed all plates to the wrong people and just kept saying "Toast? Toast?Toast?" Faster and more intense before any of us could respond... I felt stressed out! To the restaurants credit their food performed MUCH better than their gruff impersonal server. I had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benny which was light and delightful! Great hollandaise, AMAZING hashed brown potatoes and perfectly cooked eggs. I was thrilled with the meal portion. Had it not been for the service I would have comfortably awarded this place a 5 star, however, service is part of the experience of dining out, and even a smile or forced small talk might have earned them extra marks. Note to management, make sure your team is as lovely as your food. I'll be back to re-evaluate at some point, hopefully their food stays the same and the service improves! Eatcrest Out! read more

Our go to breakfast/brunch place. The ladies working here are always cheerful and not at all in the fake because-I'm-working-for-my-tip kind of way. They are genuinely happy to see you and make you happy! And that is refreshing on a Saturday morning. Whenever we're here, I always say I will try something else in their menu but always end up getting the smoked salmon eggs benedict. Now, I am by no means a connoisseur but it is divine IMHO. Smoke salmon, eggs benedict, hollandaise sauce, hash brown - how can you go wrong? I love it and never get tired of ordering it. I also always get their hot chocolate. I don't think it's fall off-your-seat spectacular but it is very good. I am not a coffee person but my partner says it's good (and she's finicky with her coffee). Service is fast and sincere. Food is good and cheap. Only thing stopping me from giving that 5th star? You always smell like food when you step out lol. Not a big deal except it annoys the person beside you on the TTC. read more

Creme De La Creme Cafe - Smoked salmon eggs benny - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

I enjoy visiting Creme de la Creme. Have visited occasionally as this is one of my mom and step-dad's favourite breakfast places. Six of us went to brunch today for my step-dads birthday and enjoyed the food and experience. It is busy here so you may have to wait a few minutes for a table. We waited about 5. Coffee is decent and refilled often. I opted for smoked salmon accompanied by scrambled egg whites with cheddar cheese and hash browns. Love that they serve the salmon with a fresh lemon wedge and some capers - yum! I enjoyed my breakfast - delicious and a huge portion. Have leftovers for tomorrow! Make sure you try an order of the pancakes - they have crispy edges and are served with some fresh fruit YAY! Will definitely come back again read more

I have been coming here for 8 years. Never go there weekends! It's a mad house. Staff are always friendly but weekends don't expect much cause it packed . It's one of my top 3 places for brunch and breakfast. read more

I find it difficult to be wowed by bacon and eggs... they both require zero effort and taste pretty much the same everywhere. With that being said the food here was good and the service was excellent. My hubby and I walked in around noon and the place was pact. We sat in seats near the register and were immediately greeted by the cutest old lady who told us that she could show us more private/romantic seats in the back. We walked through the front half of the kitchen to a little secluded area all to ourselves (until someone else was seated next to us 15 minutes later). Portions are huge and with Sean M.'s tip, we ordered hash browns with cheese (not on the menu) and it was THE BOMB! I should note they don't take debit (cash & credit only). read more

Great brunch spot in the west end. Cheap, good and plenty of food. The sidewalk patio is a nice touch in the summer. read more

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Delicious, MASSIVE portions, and cheaper than most brunch spots east of Runnymede Station. Vera is the shit, she's a sprightly middle aged Russian (edited!) waitress who knows me by face after only a handful of visits and says 'Da?' after most statments. She's direct, friendly, and good-humored. What makes it worth the ride to Royal York Station? 2 Words: Eggs M*@&#^@#in' Benny!! read more

Creme De La Creme Cafe - Creme de L'awesome! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

I have heard of this place as being very good and finally made it there with a friend for Sunday breakfast. The food and service were good. It was very noisy given that it was Sunday morning and very busy, so was a bit uncomfortable, but I am reluctant to go back for the following reasons: 1. My friend arrived about 10mins. before me and was told she couldn't sit there and wait, so she ordered a pot of tea. 2. When we had finished and our plates were cleared, we were asked to leave since they had a line-up; the waitress indicated she had been told by the manager to do this. My friend still had tea to drink. I do recognize it was their busiest day, but I have been to similar places, just as busy, and never been asked to leave; and not allowing my friend to wait was ridiculous; also something I've never heard of a restaurant doing. read more

Great find in the west end! We went there for breakfast and they easily accomodated me by letting me order a sandwich from their lunch menu. The spinach and cheese omelette was good and we ordered a side of pea meal bacon, which was delicious. The service was nice too, quick and pleasant. We also got to sit outside since they put tables on the sidewalk. Great on a sunny morning. read more

Creme De La Creme Cafe - Spinach, mushrooms and cheese omelette with a side of pea meal bacon. Creme sandwich. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

BEST BENEDICT EVER First time here and glad I went in, now they are not trying to re-invent breakfast. Having said that everything was done with old school care,and the portions are generous for the price. My Benedict was perfectly poached, the pemeal was hot and thick without being dry, and the hash browns were properly cooked not a raw potato in the lot. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that takes breakfast seriously. In my books home run from start to finish. read more

Hey get the pancake. Half order is enough. Huge portion. It's crispy on the edges, just so delicious and not like your typical round bland pancakes. Can't remember what else I've tried here, but I just keep going back for those freaking pancakes. Just moved to the area, love stopping by, the old lady that I think runs the place is so nice, she should be on a commercial or something. Oh did I mention the pancake? read more

A nice little space to grab good food. It is quite little so it can get busy. The food is great and if you needed anything, the servers are more than willing to help out! The servers are wonderful, polite, prompt and accurate! Cost wise, it's ok! We go when we can read more

Delicious! Great little cafe with delicious breakfast - large portions, clean and pretty cheap. Service is super friendly. Highly recommended coming here for breakfast read more

They have cockroaches.... Never again. The food is extremely greasy, basically dripping in oil. I had smoked salmon Benedict and the salmon looked darker than it usually is at other places. It had a grey tone to it. The Hash browns were plain, and had no flavour and 0 enjoyment. We came in at about 10 30am and by 12 the place was full of people. I have no idea how.. The waiters were super nice but I asked for peanut butter 3 times and asked to get my water refilled twice and didn't receive it. I just didn't bother saying anything anymore. The place itself as a whole, was chaos. They are super unorganized and their operations need to update a little. Its super plain inside and not the most attractive interior. All walls were yellow, there were 5 giant picture frames, or so it looked like it, and they were all emply. THE BEST PART ABOUT IT is that in order to pay you had to go up to the front and wait in line. There were 5 people in front of us and we had to wait for a total of 15 min until we were out of there. I'd assume since there is such high traffic, the restaurant can afford wireless debit machines? One gentleman in line was holding up the line up because he had an issue with something. To top it off with a cherry, while we were waiting in line to pay, a cockroach was casually climbing down the wall which I was leaning up against... A COCKROACH! I can only imagine what their kitchen looks like... I was either going to squish that thing and get its remains all over my clothes, or it would fall into my bag (which i immediately noticed was open), and I would bring it home with me and... well anyways. Never again. read more

How can you not like this place?? A must have: Pancakes or Eggs Benidict both equal amazingness The staff is fantastic Ellen is my favorite she makes me feel like I am going to a realitives home for brunch! I always bring a bunch of people with me, I make it my meeting place of choice, except for on the weekend they get super busy , for good reason. The pancakes are like crapes almost but bigger and crispier. My main reason for loving this spot so much is because they make there own Hollandaise sauce.... A MUST when searching out great brunch spots. Nothing bothers me more than sauce from powder...ewwww. As mentioned in many other reviews, there hash browns are real Hash browns, none of this deep fried potato fry thing that seems to be so popular, they are as real as they come. In fact you can see into the kitchen when your paying and can almost always see someone grating potatoes !! Sometimes the service is slow , but thats okay with me because I know what I am getting is made right to order. It is a family run business and the lady that owns it is such a delight! I really cant say enough great things about this place, you will have to just go try it yourself ! read more

THE WEIRDEST THING HAPPENED while we were eating brunch in here... one of the waitresses TOLD ALL THE GUESTS TO SHUT UP!! WHAT. THE. F*CK. If she wanted the place to be quiet then she should have just told all of their paying customers to leave! Have you ever dined at Creme De La Creme Cafe? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID NOISE... the neighbouring tables are practically kissing each other and the restaurant is small that you can practically hear each conversation happening at each table. I am a restaurant manager, and I can not imagine making an announcement to tell everyone to be quiet. Maybe if there were some drunken fools, I may politely ask that table to settle down. But it is a common fact that when a small restaurant is crowded and each customer is having a normal conversation then the noise level will more than likely be quite loud. Creme De La Creme Cafe's one and only guest who wanted peace and quiet should have therefore gone to a fine-dining restaurant instead of a local mom & pop breakfast place! What an idiot! And what a stupid idiot waitress! GAIN SOME COMMON SENSE! Oh and we never received a set of rye toast. We informed our server she gave us white toast, she said she must've heard us wrong, never gave us our proper order, left it on the bill and we ended paying for something we didn't order and didn't eat. read more

Great place for breakfast that is no fuss and delivers good food. Eggs benny are tasty as is the steak and eggs. This was actually one of the few places that cooked your steak to what you asked. I usually ask for it to be medium thinking that it will be overcooked. I've taken friends and family there and it has always been pleasant. The restaurant is cozy and the staff are very friendly. We keep going there everytime we want breakfast because it never dissapoints! read more

Cream de la Crap! What an awful brunch experience. This place is so chaotic. You'd think if you have a busy crowd every Saturday & Sunday you'd adjust to the surroundings however it seemed like the staff was encountering their first rush hour and had no idea what to do besides rush every aspect of the meal. At one point I overheard the waitress tell the couple next to us that if they were finished they had to go. I'm sure the individuals waiting for that table were thankful but I wouldn't appreciate being escorted from my table. The food was mediocre at best. I had the eggs Benedict that lacked a flavour - it's debatable if that was considered hollandaise sauce and the meat of choice is on the side. If I continue to rant about my disappointment I fear I'll have the longest post written in regards to this spot so I'll stop. BUT! In conclusion, what a sad breakfast experience. read more

Slightly slow, but very friendly service. It was super busy when we were there though. Food is great. Pancakes are monstrous and our server was good enough to put our shared pancake order in after we were nearly finished our eggs and stuff. Just wish they had an eggs and pancakes meal. Oh, and you'll probably smell like breakfast after eating here. read more

So there I was, at 11 am on a Sunday morning, standing adjacent to the bathroom in a narrow hallway, behind a long line of other prospective patrons... A long line means either the restaurant is poor at seating, serving and turning over or the food is just that good. Happily for creme de la creme, it is the latter. (A small caveat here - I have a soft spot for family owned restaurants). Orange juice, tea, medium poached eggs and toast with melty butter & jam is my idea of a good breakfast...add in the hash browns and tomatoes and you've got a fan! My friend had a bespoke omlette that looks huge, but delicious! The hustle and bustle, the good-humoured family atmosphere and being served by people who love what they do all added to the ambience...I'd go back for sure...I'll try the eggs benny with salmon next! read more

Fantastic little spot for breakfast or brunch any day of the week! Extremely busy on the weekends and space is limited. (but in the summer you can sit outside too). The omelette's are out-of-this-world with many choices of what to put in them. Waffles and pancakes with fresh fruit are a delight as well. My personal favourite is the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. Heavenly! read more

This charming little storefront, with its gold decor and roosters, is just the thing to wake you up in the morning. The menu is not unusual, but what is on there is excellent. Omelets come with choice of three fillings from a list (extra for smoked salmon or goat cheese). I picked spinach, feta and onions and mine was great, as were my partners eggs benedict. Fresh flavourful hash browns and good coffee. Very friendly, prompt and considerate service. What more could one ask for in a breakfast joint? read more

We reside in the area and have been regular patrons of this restaurant for a long time despite their terrible coffee. It has continuously gone downhill in our opinion. We visited recently and were incredibly disappointed and have decided to never return. The french toast resembled toast with fried eggs on the bottom - the batter was not mixed properly and when cooked, came out like fried eggs - the actual egg whites and yolk were visible - we mentioned it when we went to pay and they said "sorry". The pancake was almost burnt and much smaller than the past. $35 later - no thanks! We were reluctant to leave a tip, but the server was delightful and it was not her fault. The restaurant had only three other tables occupied. The men's washroom was absolutely disgusting. There was fecal matter smeared on the wall. Are you kidding? There are hundreds of great restaurants in this city that can replace it. read more
