Eggs Benny and French Toast
Maryam N.

Loved everything about this place! The drinks were phenomenal, especially if you get them with oatmilk. The food was great. The Benny with avocado was soft and flavorful since they use a croissant as the base and top it with creamy hollandaise sauce. The ambience was wonderful, very much cute cafe brunch vibes. The interior is a bit small so I wouldn't go with a large party of 5 or more. I wouldn't get the french toast again since it was quite dry and made with a baguette that was hard to bite through. The flavors were all there; but wouldn't recommend if you like traditional eggy toast.

Brunch menu

I've been going here a few times now and the quality of the food and service is always consistently good! I ordered I ordered multiple things off the menu, but my constant order that always draws me back is the iced matcha latte. It has a strong alive flavour it always brings me!

Ham and cheese crêpe
Jason O.

This is the kind of place that makes me wish I lived in the neighbo(u)rhood! The DeCourses Café is an intimate little spot that provides delicious breakfast items in a beautiful little dining area. The staff are amazing and provide fast and high quality service. The menu items are incredible from food to drink. We ordered a couple of crêpes, chocolate croissants, and some delicious lattes. We can't wait to come back! It's awesome. Enjoy.

Flat White
Sam L.

Had the Flat White, great coffee, great service, great cozy cafe with breakfast lunch pastry options. My girlfriend had the turmeric latte and French toast.

Pinoy Eggs Benedict
Melodee C.

The food was pretty good! Those pinoy sausages were the best thing to have on a croissant eggs Benedict. I could have done without the salad. I don't mind greens, but they were flavourless and only came with like 2 strawberry slices and 2 pecans and like 0 dressing. Maybe a bit more hollandaise, to dip those bomb potatoes into. The iced latte was good but I don't know if those black flecks were espresso particles or vanilla beans from the syrup. I like the atmosphere a lot, and the masala chai latte was really good. I know they're hard working young people who are often overwhelmed by the numbers they serve, but I didn't love the wait time (felt like I waited 25 minutes, saw people who arrived after me get their food before me. That is always frustrating)

Caramel latte with oat milk to go
Megi M.

Can never go wrong with this place. My favourite spot for a caramel latte with oat milk. For a bite to eat, I recommend eggs Benny on a croissant with longanisa or any of the savoury crepes. The place is really clean, the staff are super nice and respectful if all the usual Covid precautions.

9" breakfast sandwich (with avocado added), and a matcha latte with coconut milk.
Candice F.

Came here on a whim and can say this is now going to be one of my favourites! I got the 9" breakfast sandwich with a matcha latte (with coconut milk), and it was extremely delicious! The bread was fresh baked there, and was toasted perfectly with the perfect balance of cheese:egg:meat ratio. The latte was pretty good too, and my boyfriend got an iced cold brew with vanilla and it was also very good (it didn't have that artificial vanilla taste come flavoured coffees have). The prices were also very reasonable, as two hefty sized meals and two drinks (I also added avocado and customized my drink) only came to a bit over 30 bucks. The atmosphere was also nice and seemed very clean inside. It was also neat that the kitchen where they prepare food was out in the open so you could see them making it. The servers were very friendly as well and were patient with my indecisiveness lol Will definitely be coming back!

Grilled cheese (very oily with tiniest amount of cheese)

Confused. This place is high rated so I was expecting a better experience. Ordered a grilled cheese and breakfast sandwich with soup (as the menu offers). The waitress said they don't do soup as it wasn't popular but ok. Ordered just a sandwich. Both sandwiches were bland, just oily pieces of white bread with very little cheese and filling. Not worth the calories. Also ordered an almond milk cappuccino and asked twice for almond milk and somehow still got oat cappuccinos. Although it was really good, it was not what we ordered...

Iced coffee yum
Joy S.

Cute small quiet brunch place! Great customer service! Very personable and outgoing. No parking so park on the side streets. The food was fresh and flavourful. Good portions and great prices. Clean! Vegan options available! Amazing iced vanilla coffee and espresso!

Shim S.

I love this cozy place! Their bakery is fresh and tasty! Whenever I go there I order Avo Benny and Gothic Latte! You should try these! Yum!! It's not busy usually and you can easily find a table!

Avo Maria
Barbara D.

I can see what they're trying to do here. Cute hipster cafe, a variety of menu items you would more likely see at a brunch spot in Queen West, Insta-worthy lattes (like the Gothic Latte with activated charcoal), etc. But, for me - while I understood the concept and saw what they were trying to strive for, I think execution itself fell a bit flat. We visited on a Saturday morning while it was relatively busy - there's a good amount of seating, free WiFi, and a variety of menu items to choose from. We ordered the Avo Maria (avocado toast with sweet potatoes and pomegranates), a sweet potato benny, and a Gothic latte. With tip, we paid around $29. Honestly - I saw the vision of what they *wanted* the dishes to be (think of the pizzaz of Early Bird downtown), but the dishes themselves felt really rushed, lacked the flavour I was expecting, and overall execution felt uninspired. The Avo Maria looked and felt like something that could have been made at home (and while there's nothing wrong with that, I'm not sure if that's what they were going for). The one item that really stood out to us was the hollandaise sauce on the eggs benny - savoury, flavourful perfection. Otherwise, everything else we had was just fine, but not extraordinary. For those wondering - I got my Instagram photo of the Gothic latte obviously, but besides that, if you're looking for depth, the coffee doesn't shine through as much as espresso lovers would like. I'd come back here and give it another chance one day, and it's always nice to have cute cafe options in the west end - overall, average with room for improvement, but a decent enough experience that I'd come back.

Americano & hazelnut Cappuccino
Amelia F.

I feel so lucky that attend the college campus right beside this place, as it's one of the best cafe's I've ever been to (and I've been to quite a few!). Not pictured were a piece of banana bread and a massive croissant which were both incredibly delicious--by the time I thought to take a picture there were only crumbs. Aside from the food being fresh and delicious, I'm a huge cappuccino fan but have learned that they're very hit or miss depending on the place. DeCourses café truly makes one of the best cappuccinos I've had, and has a lot of different flavours that can be added (I recommend hazelnut!). Anyways, I'm definitely a fan of this place and plan to go many times in the future. I think the prices are fair for the quality and size of the food and drinks ordered, and they have quite a big menu compared to other cafés.

Gothic latte. Made with activated charcoal
Kristian U.

Cute little café that opened up recently replacing several other failed businesses in this very same location. The failures of the others really doesn't make sense as this location is kiddie corner to Humber College Lakeshore Campus, and a massive neighbourhood of young professionals and young families within walking distance. The failings of DeCourses predecessors maybe had to do with their choice in odd operating hours and lack of service. I do not predict DeCourses having the same issues as they offer EXACTLY what students and young families are looking for; good coffee, tasty fresh treats, all day breakfast and wholesome quick meal options (oh and bubble tea). If the gents working the counter were the owners they're young, energetic and eager, if not then they've hired really really well - these guys were awesome. The design is so trendy, it really steps the area up quite a bit, and instead of the rustic industrial charm that most spots seem to overdo now, the've gone with a more modernist/minimalist approach and it totally works! They've got an extensive menu with lots of hot sandwich options, crepes and baked goodies to go along side an impressive coffee menu. I went with a freshly baked croissant which was HUGE and a unique latte option they have called a Gothic Latte which uses activated charcoal in the brewing process for a kick and cleansing effect. The croissant was amazing, so buttery and flakey, wow. And the charcoal/gothic latte was so black but surprisingly easy drinking and tasted great! They've got this figured out! I hope this place lasts, it's really a great neighbourhood coffee joint and I look to spend many afternoons here in the future Eatcrest out!

From the hostess to the waitstaff. All very polite and welcoming. We observed them with other guests and they seemed very patient with the loud kids...and adults to be fair. LOL We had the big skillet both days as well as the breakfast sandwich. While there were some variances, we enjoyed both experiences. The first visit was better in my opinion - the potatoes were tender and not overcooked and my fruit cup didn't have a lot of cantaloupe. I have shared pictures of the menu as well. We had sparkling water and diet cola both times. Our beverages never ran dry. There is an upstairs that overlooks the first floor dining area. We wondered if anyone had ever spilled a beverage that landed on guests below. We could definitely see the possibility of that happening. They also had a nice patio, however, on the hotter days, not sure how enjoyable the city smell would be while trying to eat. Interesting - they only had one bathroom. So we observed a line. And there are tables right next to the door. I would avoid those seats if possible. A little too close to the restroom in my opinion. If we are in the area again, we would definitely eat here again, although they may be at the new location if we visit in the future. I look forward to seeing the upgraded features at the new location.

French Made has cultivated something of a local legend around its croissants, and after two…read moreconsecutive mornings arriving to an empty case, I understand the mythology. The almond croissant, when you're lucky enough to claim one before nine, delivers a genuinely impressive balance of shattering, buttery layers and a filling laced generously with almond cream, more Parisian in spirit than most bakeries attempting the same feat across this city. Even the raspberry version, when available, carries the same confident hand in the kitchen. The coffee program deserves equal praise. A well pulled latte and a properly balanced cappuccino suggest a team that treats espresso with the same seriousness as their pastry case, and it shows in the cup. Where the experience finds room to grow is in the choreography of the space itself. The room is petite, charming in its cobalt blue framed way, but the flow between ordering and pickup can feel cramped during a rush, and seating fills quickly. The patio, however, is a genuine reward, a shaded perch worth claiming on a slow afternoon. This is a cafe operating with real ambition and skill, let down only occasionally by its own popularity. Arrive early, claim a croissant while you still can, and settle onto the patio; you'll leave understanding exactly why regulars keep coming back.

We ate two butter croissants and a small bag of chocolate chip cookies. Very friendly and cheerful…read moreservice. Casual atmosphere. Recommended if you are in downtown Toronto.

We visited KOST for brunch with friends and had such a lovely experience…read more First of all, the views are FANTASTIC!!! You get a beautiful clear view of the CN Tower and there is outdoor dining available as well. The restaurant itself is bright, airy... such a pretty space with natural lighting. I did find the menu a little on the expensive side, but I really appreciated how interesting and creative the options were. Will add servers were slow to get to us initially but they more than made up for it. Very sweet ppl. I ordered the short rib while my fiancé went with the smoked salmon and we absolutely loved both dishes. The flavors were fantastic and the accompaniments complemented everything beautifully. I especially loved the rösti potatoes, which I initially thought were hash browns in cube form LOL For dessert, we shared the mojito tart. The presentation was absolutely beautiful, the filling reminded me of herb butter! We could not really taste the rum and particularly loved the toasted coconut. The little pearls with it were fun.

Food (3.5/5) - the menu is a combination of small and large plates ideal for sharing. A cosmopolitan menu of diverse items from many different cuisines. - Baja Caesar Salad - baby romaine, corn, caesar dressing, agave bacon, croutons, grana padano, chili spice. This was pretty good, romaine was fresh and sauce not too overpowering with a slight kick to it. - Coconut Shrimp with mango salsa, lime, chipotle aioli. Also pretty good... shrimp was cooked fine and the garnishes worked with it. - Tuna Ceviche with avocado, cilantro, corn, red onions, leche de tigre, cancha, plantain. This one was average. The sashimi chunks were pretty average and the overall mix seemed to lack flavour and moistness. - Hamachi Crudo with avocado, elderflower, pickled strawberry, jalapeño, pistachio, basil, olive oil. This was one pretty bad... some of the worst hamachi I have ever had! Overly fishy and off-colour. Service (4/5) - server and assistants were friendly and generally attentive. Some lapses in check ins from time to time. Rooftop is first come, first serve so a reservation does not mean you will be seated quickly and may have to hang out in the interior bar or tables until ready. Atmosphere (4.75/5) - you really cannot top the view from Kost. It has multiple look out areas besides the patio dining area by the infinity pool. They have a raised photo pedestal which is ideal to take pictures with the Tower, Rogers Centre and lake in the background. They also have some trendy couches and sitting areas as well. The interior dining area is also pretty good with window views outside and a California vibe to it. Overall (4/5) - Yes, the food is on the average side for the price. However, it really is a great atmosphere for dining, even if sitting inside. It is a bucket list destination at a minimum and worth a repeat imo.

My first impression of the menu was really positive - there were lots of tasty-sounding options! We ordered a coffee and latte, along with some water. The coffees arrived fairly quickly, but unfortunately the water never came despite asking twice. For food, I went with the Express Breakfast while my partner ordered the Homestyle Omelette. When everything arrived, my eggs were cooked to a perfect medium, which I really enjoyed, and the omelette was a very impressive portion size. The service was a bit hit-or-miss, though. It took a while for us to get cutlery and when we asked for ketchup, our server said she'd be right back but never returned with it. We eventually had to ask the diners at the table beside us if we could borrow theirs. One nice touch was the in-house strawberry jam, which I thought was fun! It was a little too sweet for my personal taste, but I appreciated the extra touch. Overall, we had a nice, simple breakfast at a good price. The restaurant is surprisingly large, with lots of seating, and it had a really lively atmosphere. I wasn't particularly wowed by the experience, but we got a good deal and had a decent meal, so I'd say Stacked is a solid option if you're looking for an affordable and casual breakfast.
