A couple Saturdays ago, I was running a few errands. Once I was done, I felt like visiting a diner for lunch. I did a search and found Poached Dreams Diner in Aurora. I didn't mind driving up from Markham to check it out. It was straightforward getting here. I parked in the parking lot and walked in from what looked like the back of the diner. There's also a front door with a patio that faces Wellington Street East. I was immediately greeted by a young, enthusiast woman. I let her know that I needed a table for one. She got me to a comfortable booth by the window. The catch is that you have to watch your step to get to your seat. It's a treat when I have breakfast out. I thought that I'd be getting french toast. Well, all that changed when I saw a heading for comfort foods on the menu. Nothing makes me happier than seeing open-faced sandwiches on a menu. It was probably during my days living in Winnipeg that I fell in love with such sandwiches and at least a side. New goal: come here and have every open-faced sandwich on the menu. I got cold water to start. It was refreshing and much needed after running errands. I ordered these items for my meal: - Diet Coke (2) - Hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and veggies My Diet Coke came with a glass with ice. I loved it. I wish the can was larger! I needed a second can for dessert. I loved my hot turkey sandwich. There was a generous amount of sliced turkey smothered in sauce over a slice of white bread. I got to choose my starch. I went with mashed potatoes. There was enough gravy over the turkey that I dunked my spoonfuls of mashed potatoes into it. I loved the steamed veggies. They were perfectly cooked. They also went into the gravy. The meal was delicious. I'd order it again. I felt like dessert. I asked if there was any. Baklava with pistachios. I said yes. I thought that it would be a square or rectangle. Nope. I got a roll. Cool! It was perfect. It had the right amount of honey. It was crispy and yummy. So good! I paid my bill at the table. I tipped and then tapped my credit card. I elected to have the receipt texted to my phone, which also signed me up for its points program. Yay! I learned that this diner has been open since June 2025. I'm always late to any party because I seem to live under a rock or in a cave. I'm glad that I visited this eatery. Great food. Great service. Great! I used the washroom before I left. The women's washroom was clean and had a full-length mirror. This eatery is huge. It looks like there's a cafe for those grabbing coffee and maybe a snack before leaving. I look forward to returning for more good eats and drinks. (148)

Upon entering, the space is super spacious and clean. My friend ordered their 2 egg special with bacon, and I ordered their soup and sandwich combo ($12/13). I decided to go with their tuna salad and chicken noodle soup. Upon recommendation from our server, I also ordered their cappuccino- it was very delicious. Amazing food and great service, I would like to come back and try some of their dinners dishes.

I order a delicious breakfast (pictured) - eggs Benedict and a pumpkin pie butter tart. Both were delicious! I was very satisfied.

This seemed to be a busier location, so it was nice to not have to wait. While the interior decor is dates, the booths were clean and comfortable enough to sit and eat at. Maybe it was just what we ordered, but I found the food to be slightly disappointing. Portion sizes are fair for the price. The sunny side up eggs, steak, and homestyle fries were good - not overcooked or too salty. However, the scrambled eggs seemed overdone, and the hash was much saltier than I expected. Also, the coffee tasted watered down and was too weak for our caffeine needs. We expected the coffee to be the standard drip brew, but it really didn't pass muster.

Update: Went again recently (a year after my original…read morereview) with my parents. I still feel like the flavours are quite basic but I did enjoy it much more this time around. They now offer oat milk as a dairy alternative which is nice, so I ordered an oat latte which was very good. This was paired with the bacon Benny and home fries. Maybe it's because I'm a few months postpartum and hungry all the time (lol) but it all hit this time. I really enjoyed it and ate it all except for a few potatoes. The service was great too.

The oysters were a little bit smaller, but they did pre-warn us, which is fantastic. The drinks were delicious. Hands-down would recommend coming here.
