Well shit, maybe I should have read Yelp (Martin S.) before coming here, as we ordered TWO Mexican themed dishes: the breakfast burrito and the quesadilla. The burrito was straight up bad (0/5). The eggs were under-seasoned and the beans were straight out of the can. If you advertise re-fried beans, at least mash them up to make them look like somebody hasn't just popped open a can and poured the cold beans into the burrito with no care. The quesadilla was a bit redeeming but still quite bad. The chorizo was okay, and there was some salt in the eggs. On the plus side, the potatoes are actually very good here. And I had I read the reviews before coming here, maybe the other offerings would have been as good as the potatoes. The $3 coffee is also pretty steep and kind of annoying. With Parts and Labour open on Sundays, and a couple of other brunch places up the road on Roncevalles, don't think I'll be coming back here. read more

This is the best breakfast in Parkdale. We had the restaurant specialty, the heuvos divorciados (or something). Eggs on beans and tortillas with ancho salsa and guacamole. These were even better than they sound. And very filling. We also had their West Coast Toast. Wow! Easy Restaurant 's take on eggs benedict. Poached eggs on an english muffin topped with smoked salmon and caviar, as well as a healthy dose of hollandaise. Unforgettable as French Montana would say. To end the affair we had their mini waffles which cone with real maple syrup, whipped cream, and a berry compote. Yessssss! read more

I had the basic breakfast - 2 eggs over easy, home fries, toast (baguette slices) and coffee. 8.95 plus 2.95 for coffee. I think the baguette may have been from yesterday...it was a tad chewy. 2 of my friends had the Huevos Divorciados and enjoyed them very much. I think my other two friends were happy with their meals. The quality of my basic meal was very similar to those of the many "greasy spoon/diners" I've tried, (and I've tried a lot - see link to my breakfast list below), but was pricey in comparison. Perhaps I should have tried one of their specialties, as described by others. They were also having trouble with their heat (on a very cold day), so I'm still thawing out and my judgment might be affected. Lastly, as a group of 5, they added a 15% gratuity to our checks. (15% of the food including the tax.) As one of my friends said, "if it's on the bill, it's not a gratuity". read more

A friend of mine lives directly across the street from Easy. While some people may not think this is super cool, it actually is and I'll tell you why. I can spy on the front door of it and see when it's filling up (and it regularly does)...and if it is, I like to make a sprint for the door and plop myself into the nearest free booth. Immediately a server will come by with a menu and the offering of a coffee. Not just any coffee, but delicious illy coffee...and the refills don't stop until you put at least one hand up. I've only ever eaten from the breakfast menu, but it is more than delightful. I especially love and often crave (when taking a Toronto hiatus) the huevos divorciados. That's a mouthful to say and I assure you, it is to eat too. This order comes with two eggs on a corn tortilla, re-fried black beans, guacamole (omnomnom), green and red salsa, and another lil treat called ancho jam. Pile all this yumminess on a piece of toasted baguette and you have officially started off a stellar morning. If you end up at Easy, you should also be so inclined to try their smoothies. The peanut power smoothie is a meal in itself. I was full for 24 hours after consuming one and did not even consider taking another bite of food during this time. If that's not a great money saver, I don't know what is. I can't wait to once again spy on Easy and return to kill the items on their menu that I haven't tried yet. I just need to remember not to order a meal AND a smoothie. Lesson learned and duly noted...I think. read more

I love a good-sized breakfast. Apparently, it is the American way, which is true. Sometimes I do leave a restaurant in Canada still not quite satiated. I am sure it is the right portion size but it's my American way. Here, the sizes are just right for me. And unlike some places that believe portion size is above taste, this place does well in both categories. I believe I had the Huevos Rancheros and they were perfect. They are not like the huevos I have had in hometown of Houston, but they were perfect. Everything was there from the guacamole, beans to lime and cilantro. And the coffee is good here. Maybe it is not such a rarity to find good coffee at a breakfast spot. This is definitely a stop when I make it out to Queen West. read more

Easy like Sunday morning (brunch)! Not as easy on the wallet though! So many options, it was hard to choose what to order: I settled on the vegetarian tostadas and as Yelp puts it, it was A-OK, but I've had better at other establishments. - good sized portion of mushroom/cheese/tomato and beans over tortillas, topped with guac and a side of baguette and home fries. I found the tortillas to be a bit stale and the home fries bland, but everything else was good. I have to say, the guac was superb. Would I come here again? Probably, but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Great hangover food, decently priced. I got the eggs Benedict which was pretty effin good, and my friend got the breakfast burrito which was alright. There was a little bit of a line, but we were only two so we got seated fairly quickly. Don't really have much else to say about this place, it is in Parkdale, so I wouldn't venture too far out of my way to eat here, and would probably only do so again if I were already in the area. read more

The decor is obviously something they've put a lot into. A lot of what is open to interpretation. Orange juice was very pulpy, just the way I like it. I ordered their house special, which has a name I can't pronounce. Two sunny eggs on a tortilla were unseasoned and underwhelming. The bagguette slices were nice and very useful to eat up all the wonderful guac and ancho jam. Black beans seemed like an afterthought and cluttered the plate. The "homefries" were baked quartered reds and undercooked to the point of almost being unedible. The green and red salsas were nothing to write home about. It all came rather fast with the resto half full at the top of Thursday lunch hour. I'd come back to try a dffierent dish. read more

This place can get busy on the weekends, so expect a bit of wait - but it's totally worth it.. I ordered the STEAK DIVORCIADOS and it was delicious! I will be returning to EASY to try their other dishes, but I may be tempted to order the same thing again... Note: They only accept debit and cash payments read more

Easy restaurant - nothing distinguishable from other restaurants and brunch places around. The place is often busy so service leaves room for improvement. As for the food, it was tasty but somewhat expensive for me. They have some creative items on the menu but even the simple ones - eggs and toast - will set you back $10. I got a toy soldier with my army themed breakfast dish which made all of us laugh. If you live in this upcoming hipster-ish area, maybe this is a place for you, but otherwise, I won't bother... read more

Easy is a great place for breakfast if you are craving a slow and frustrating meal. The single waitress will initially appear overwhelmed and relatively competent but you'll quickly discover she has no clue that you want to order food or what you want after you order it... If you'er lucky enough to get your order in, you'll soon see the cooks and kitchen staff clearing tables or delivering food and you'll wonder why they aren't cooking your food. You might get more frustrated when you see the only 3 employees in the restaurant having a 5 min confab in the back, while approximately 50 customers wait... When the food does arrive it will probably be cold, if not its usually quite tasty and really the only reason this restaurant is still around. Avoid at all costs on the weekend or any time when you see the customers out number staff at greater than 10 to 1... read more

My wife and I frequent this restaurant often and love it. After we got married in 2015, we went here with our family for brunch. Ever since, we try to frequent at least once a month. Always consistent quality and service. read more

Easy Restaurant is somewhere i would like to return to. Great food, pretty cool people, great location. Personally I love the "endless" Illy Coffee for 3$. Not good for people who can't handle their caffeine :) When i was there, i had the "huevos Divorciados" and it was good. I didn't like it - but it wasn't anything the cook could control. The food was high-quality and i was super impressed by the thickness of the scrambled egg. The guacamole was amazing. As were the black beans. The home-made sweet jelly stuff - the "ancho-jam" was good, but was something i didn't like too much (i also hate marmalade, so this is probably something to do with it). And then the corn tortilla at the very bottom of everything ended up being soggy and kinda unappetizing by the time i ate my way towards it. Also, as much as i think the servers are totally cool and nice people, it is hit or miss, depending on how busy the restaurant is. When i went on a friday morning, the service was fast and attentive. When i went on a Monday morning when busy, the service was extremely slow and we had to go and ask to order our food. In their defense though, we had multiple people coming at different times, so it might have been hard to keep track. I would like to come to the restaurant again and check out some of their other dishes. My friend's weekly special of pancakes looked phenomenal! read more

Went here today. Very retro old school feel when you walk in. You seat yourself and we had service instantly. The server was quick and kind. The amount of food was very generous. I felt it lacked a little on flavour. I hear on weekends it's packed. read more

This is the worst breakfast diner in Toronto. The service is horrible, they don't accept cards and if you plan to bring friends and family, make sure you are all consuming. If not they will be rude and kick your friends that are just accompanying while the others brunch. Won't be coming back. Terrible terrible place. read more

I finally made it to Easy for brunch this past weekend. I've lived 10 minutes away for over a year, and passed it countless times thinking "oh right, I should go there sometime". And finally I did. It's very vintage movie-fan inside, which makes sense since the restaurant is themed for Easy Rider. We arrived after 10 and, surprisingly, were seated right away. Lucky us! We each ordered a smoothie, me the classic strawberry-banana, he the banana latte. Both came out in huge, milkshake-sized glasses, which was much more than we were expecting. Neither was amazing, but both were tasty enough. I ordered the French toast croissant, he had the eggs benedict, and we ordered a side of chorizo (my favourite!). The croissant was in thin slices, served with fresh berries and a fruit compote that was similar to a berry-applesauce, as well as real maple syrup on the side. It had been cooked in a press and was delightfully crispy with great cinnamon flavour. I really enjoyed it. The bennie was quite good also, as were the potatoes that came with it. The chorizo was a little disappointing though - I've had it many times, in many ways, and I've never had gristle in it before nor such big chunks of fat. The fat was so big and obvious that I almost wanted to take my knife and take it out before I ate it. The flavour was there, but those things took away from my enjoyment. All in all, a solid choice for brunch, but I'd stay away from the chorizo here (it hurts to say it!) read more

VIBE I always end up at Easy for two reasons: 1. After a race. 2. After a hangover. Guess which one happens more often? I love that this old standby has the old movie theme from the old classic, Easy Rider. There are tons of old movie posters along the wall. This place is bustling but at a relaxed pace, if that makes sense. So it's crowded but you're not rushed. Tables are a bit too close together so you feel a wee fenced in. Service is excellent. I ATE The West Coast Toast - 2 poached eggs, smoked salmon, red onions on English muffins, with hollandaise sauce, fresh dill and black caviar - with salad or homefries. The dill and caviar really give the eggs benny that kick that you need but it's balanced with the salmon. You can get the salad AND the homefries split on the side but I would go with the homefries. There are perfectly spiced. The "salad" is a bunch of lettuce from a box. Come on! There is NOTHING on the lettuce either. Not even dressing! Orange juice is fresh and delish. OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK I easily find myself here after a hangover. That is not a bad thing. read more

Easy wasn't easy. I considered getting a smoothie and word on the street is their coffee is stellar. But it was busy, and after about 10-15 minutes, with no coffee, we left before ordering. read more

A pretty typical brunch spot; crowded, busy, a bit dingy (but in a good way). I came here with 5 guys and we had to cram ourselves around a small table by the window, which was probably only meant to fit like, 4 people at most. Whenever I go out for brunch, I always end up getting some variation of Huevos Rancheros, so obviously I opted for the much-lauded Huevos Divorciados with homefries at Easy. The food was good, and servings were generous; I enjoyed the combination of salsas and the ancho jam. Unfortunately the homefries were pretty tasteless and came swimming in a pool of oil, so I pawned them off on the guys who happily gobbled them down (no homefry left behind!). With an Illy coffee, my cut of the bill came to $20 even. Prices here seem a bit high to me for the quality of the food -- a Vegetarian Tostada costs $15.95. Really? Also, service is pretty efficient, but doesn't seem to be the friendliest; then again I don't usually expect too much from servers who are probably turning tables all morning long. A decent spot for brunch, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again. read more

We've been about 5 times now, always for brunch, and are definite fans. I've tried both the Breakfast Burrito and the Huevos Divorciados, and enjoyed both. The Huevos Divorciados left me so full it hurt. My husband has tried both of those, and also the Steak & Eggs, and had positive reviews of each. Here's where I'm at a loss: I LOVE French Toast. I try it at least once at every brunch place I ever go to. And so far, the only one I've really been dissatisfied with, is Easy's. They do everything else very well. But the "French Toast Croissant" is priced at $12.95, and that's really all it is.... a croissant cooked like French Toast.... no sides except a tiny bit of fruit. If you want to add bacon, it's an extra $2.95. The price seems extremely disproportionate to the Huevos Divorciados, which is made with far more ingredients, and is only $12.75, and the Breakfast Burrito which is only $10.95. Both of those even come with guacamole (which is notoriously expensive at most eateries), and homefries! So I say, skip the French Toast. It will leave you hungry and empty-pocketed. But other than that, we've loved the meals. Line-ups haven't been too bad, although it's a pain waiting outside. Atmosphere is that of a quick-service restaurant. You won't want to stay all day, but you'll enjoy the time you're there. read more

Love this place! Went here for brunch after I got married back in 2015. My favorite breakfast joint in Parkdale!

Now THIS is brunch!!! This review applies to both locations - the Queen and Roncy original and the new location on College at Crawford. Same menu, same decor, same experience. Easy is always packed, I've frequented it for years and that's always been the case. But it's brunch so if you wait 5-10 minutes you're bound to get a seat. The new location is still getting its groove in terms of logistics, the tables are too close together and it's a small space on College that they are trying to make the best use of - they're not quite there. There is a small patio as well. The food is delicious - I'm partial to the Toast Soldiers - reminds me of being a kid but they serve it with tasty salad and fruit to make me feel grown up too - but not too grown up, a plastic toy soldier comes on the plate to watch over my soft boiled eggs. My bf prefers lox and hollandaise in his breakfast and he was very happy with his choice. Everything tastes fresh and they also buy locally and eco-friendly. Always wins points with me! The caesars are tasty if you're looking for a morning after beverage with your breakfast. The coffee is good - from a quality coffee machine. The smoothies are creamy and sweet and they have take away containers if you're on the run with your coffee or smoothie. Price is right - average $20 brunch and totally worth it. I wish this place was a secret but alas, the secrets out - so see you there! read more

Overpriced. I've been here twice now and both times disappointed. Disappointed enough to write a review. First time was H. Rancheros. Whatever it was fine but nothing special or super delicious. Today I got the Taco Salad. Big mistake. A few flakes of spinach, maybe 7 chips, handful of canned corn, plain black beans, quarter wedge of a lime, a small scoop of guacamole, a few halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of some sort of cheese for $13. No dressing. Take it off the menu or call it Basic Salad. The only reason it got two stars instead of one is that the service is great. Except for the long wait times. read more

Sorry, I'm just not feeling it. I want to like this restau. It's nearby and cool-looking. Friends like it. But I give up on it. Decor... Cool, but not very warm. It's sparse, which is okay, but it seems suited to a low-key, CHEAP meal. Which Easy is not. Well, okay, I would like the decor more if I liked the food. Food... I've only had a couple things on the menu so far, but price to flavour = not impressed. It's not bad stuff. But it's not great. And it's probably the most expensive breakfast you can eat in the area. So I expect AMAZING, not just meh. What I had was the breakfast burrito = meh ok, and the tortilla soup = good, but left me wanting more. The coffee is good, but SO expensive. $3 a pop. And yes, it's unlimited.. .which I didn't need or want, so I ended up downing far too many cups in an effort to get my money's worth. (fyi - not a good idea. :p) Yep. I want to like it, but I don't. Maybe if I tried everything on the menu... but who does that, when there are so many restaus around? read more

We've lived in the West end for way too many years to not have tried Easy for brunch! Arrived on a soggy Sunday morning around 10:30am and there were a few available tables left. We lucked out with a booth for 3. Ordered brunch dishes - Huevos Divorciados ($14.95), Mexican Rider ($13.95) and some coffees ($2.95). I had planned to share my entrée with our daughter until I realized that the scrambled eggs included spicy chorizo and jalapeno peppers. Decided to order her own mini-waffles ($5.95). Service was pretty great...our food came up super fast after ordering. I wasn't a huge fan of the Mexican Rider as it was pretty spicy and I'm a wimp when it comes to that. I found the hash browns too large and undercooked. Mini-waffles were good though - very dense but fresh and hot. Probably won't be one of our regular brunch spots but at least I can take my bookmark off this West side joint. read more

Having awoken New Years Day a little too late for Dim Sum I decided on a more local haunt for breakfast, that being Easy. I've eaten here a few times before and have been generally pleased enough with the food to make a return visit. Unfortunately my most recent visit was a rather expensive (for breakfast) excursion into blandness. On weekends and holidays this place will be packed and you'll most likely end up in a small line up to get a table. Today, despite being New Year morning, I luckily (or perhaps not) had a minimal wait for a table. Having already tried the Easy Breakfast of standard eggs 'n bacon as well as the Huevos Divorcados I decided to entertain other parts of the menu. I chose the Breakfast Burrito with a side of chorizo sausage, expensive but I was hoping it would be well worth it. Along with with the meal I ordered a coffee, expensive again but can't complain much for bottomless illy coffee. Long story short, virtually everything short of the guacamole was overcooked and lacking in flavor. The burrito had no kick, the home-fried potatoes were near burnt and the sausage tasted like chorizo flavored rubber. When you have to constantly reach for the salt and pepper shakers as well as the hot sauce to make a meal more edible it's a bad sign. As for the service, in the past I've found it friendly and quick (kinda like my last relationship, har-har, but I digress...) Today I was served by what best could be described as a T-X model Terminator who was reprogrammed to be waitress. Incredibly fast and efficient (refilling my coffee whether I needed it or not), she did all the things a server should do in a timely manner except talk and smile. The meal came out to about $20 before tip and you know I can think of a hundred places for breakfast I'd rather spend that kind of money at than for what I ate at Easy. read more

What I would describe as a 'hipster' type place, relaxed casual atmosphere, steady flow of people and great brunch! I had the tacos w chorizo as recommended by our awesome waiter. Delicious and we'll be coming back 100%! read more

Easy Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Easy is pretty great. The food is really well done. "West coast toast" is an instant favorite. Last time I was there I had the steak and eggs. Their baguette toast can't be beat! My boyfriend had "heuvos divorciados" and hummed with delight throughout his entire meal. All their food is top notch and the coffee is magnificent. My only complaint off the menu are the smoothies. They're overly thick and not in the least refreshing. The place is decked out in old movie posters (including "Easy Rider", where there place gets its name). Cool antiques dot the place, which no doubt come from the near by antique shops that line west Queen west. That being said, I do have my issues with the place. Maybe because the restaurant is located in hipster central, the staff isn't hugely friendly. The first time I was there, the bald waiter hardly said a word to my boyfriend and I, and the second time we visited the waitress hardly came around. Multiple other people were serving us. I haven't ever tipped above the standard 15%. The place is pretty small, and if you go on a weekend, there is usually a line. Tables are closely packed, so this isn't the place to go so a nice relaxed brunch. They will serve you within 15 minutes and expect you to eat and leave. Regardless, during the week in the early afternoon? This is the place to be! Easy is my favorite joint for breakfast food. Despite the odd unfriendly staff member, this place is pretty cool. If you don't mind the young and trendy vibe, give it a try! read more

Went here for breakfast yesterday. The Huevos diverco (sic) were very nice. Lots of guacamole, beans and salsa along with the eggs and home fries. My girlfriend had the Eggs Benny which she said were also quite good. The service was a bit scattered and we waited awhile for our refills of coffee. Other then that it was quite good! read more

Visited Easy for the first time this morning with Kat F. Though it was pretty busy we got a table for two in no time. My white-omelette with chevre gets a solid thumbs up. They serve Illy cappucinos as well which is a plus. Apparently there is extra seating on the King street side. Obligatory Title Pun: EASY to love this West End brunch joint. Menu Readability: Clean, well-spaced, laminated ledger. Big but not road-map big. I approve. Need to mention: the tables are way too close together. Also, we had a hell of a time freeing the salt shaker from it's carriage. (We couldn't and didn't.) What this place teaches me about myself: Maybe Hollandaise sauce is worth trying. read more

Easy is a fairly average brunch spot, good but I didn't find it to be anything special. If I lived in the area I could see myself eating here on occasion, but I don't think it's worth going out of your way. At 10:30 on a Saturday morning there was no line for Brunch. The decor is plain; neither sterile nor homey. Service was good. Prices are reasonable. This is a kid friendly restaurant. Believe it or not, I actually enjoy kids in a place like this -- reminds me of home -- but I can see how some might not. The Mango Smoothie was an awesome deal at $4.50 for a HUGE glass. It was mango and banana, which meant it tasted entirely like banana since banana has a tendency of overpowering anything it's served with. I dig banana so no big deal, but worth mentioning for those that aren't banana fans. The Eggs Florentine ($10.50) was good. The Hollandaise sauce was good and the eggs were decently cooked, though they could have been a little more runny. The Chevre & Pepper Egg-White Omelette ($11.50) was excellent. Nice, creamy goat cheese, roasted red peppers, and basil; a perfect combination. I also prefer my omelettes with egg whites since it's a little lighter and the egg doesn't overpower the filling. Both mains came with either homefries or salad. Neither impressed me all that much. The homefries were seasoned well and could have been excellent, but were slightly undercooked. The salad was mixed greens with a vinegrette dressing. Unfortunately, some of the greens had gone a little bad and had that gross slimy texture. I'm usually not squeamish about food, but I just can't stand slimy greens! read more

I ordered the eggs florentine with grapefruit juice. The eggs were done well and the side of potatoes was delicious. However, I was disappointed with the juice since it was very bitter. The service was very friendly and welcoming which is why I would love to come back here again. The portions were decent as well. read more

We love this place. Good food as in healthy and delicious! I moved last year all the way to north Mississauga and miss this place so much. We make the trek over when we can. Amazing. Definitely recommend! read more

Easy is one of those restaurants that when you walk in you expect to find a table of two ladies chatting about the restaurant's energy and the ways in which it is affecting their moon cycles and, inevitably, you do. But all that lunar magic and inner bliss aside, Easy is also a divey kind of spot whose strange fascination with 70's Car Flicks makes an odd mix for a joint that serves Eggs Benny and Breakfast Burritos. Anyway, I know the place is good because I can keep my food down even while hearing the neighbouring ladies chat about their vulvae. If you prefer cleanliness to sucking down an amazing smoothie then chasing it with a burrito, Easy is not your restaurant of choice. The menus suffer from fossilized ketchup and the tables could use a pressurized cleaning (or two). read more

Amazingly , I found myself in this restaurant at 9:45 on a Sunday morning. It was already very busy (hence my companions with small baby insisting that we dine here early). It is a very cute space, and the liveliness (+ coffee) perked me up immediately. We ordered two of the huevos divorciados and an eggs benny with smoked salmon and black caviar. The food arrived quickly and seemed very fresh! I know everyone does on about these huevos...but honestly? It just looks like a bit of a mess of beans, salsa. eggs and guacamole- the tortilla completely hidden- with three or four pieces of toasted baguette thrown on top haphazardly. Granted, I love all of these componants, but it kind of seemed like more of a mish-mash than a cohesive dish. That said, I enjoyed my smorgasbord. Oh, and the ancho jam?? Amazing flavour. My new mission is to recreate it at home. Brunch for three came to $60 (not including tip). Keep this in mind if you wander in expecting greasy-spoon prices! read more

GREAT FOOD! Slow service. I hesitated to give this four stars because the service was so slow. We had read in advance that you might be left waiting for a coffee refill here, and as we watched our server play on her phone and eat her own lunch shortly after we had been delivered ours, we realized these rumours are indeed true. My boyfriend ended up going up to the bar to order more coffee, which eventually did come, but still, that makes everyone feel awkward. That said, I had the breakfast burrito with a side salad and it was actually so, so good. Probably one of my fave tex-mex brunches I've had in the city. The burrito came baked in a whole wheat wrap with fried black beans (which didn't taste fried at all, a good thing as they weren't the mushy beans I was expecting), scrambled free-run eggs from mennonite farms, some cheese, cilantro and salsa packed inside, and an incredibly scrumptious side of guacamole. The portion was generous, but it wasn't ridiculous like other places. AKA I didn't leave feeling disgusting. My boyfriend got the mexicanrider and he loved it, said it was almost like scrambled egg nachos. His bread came brushed with olive oil and was nice and crunchy. The other reason this gets 4 stars is because hello, Easy Rider themed diner?! The old movie posters are amazing in here and it's such a cool kitschy place it's worth checking out for this reason alone. I know I'll be back at Easy. It was a hard to decide what to order with so many delicious sounding options, but now that I've had the breakfast burrito, it will be hard to stray. read more

My favorite meal of the day has been and will always be breakfast. My favorite food is Mexican .. combine the two and I'm a happy girl. I love that the menu at Easy is extensive, there's something for everyone. I ordered the chèvre/roasted pepper omelette and a side of beans. The portions are plentiful so be mindful when you order. The food was tasty and the coffee was good too (you would be surprised how many places can't even get coffee right !) I'm looking forward to going back to this dinner .. the food and decor are a winning combination read more

A go-to in the 'hood and though the service can sometimes be on the slow side, the food is tasty, big portions and if you can't decide between home fries and salad, they'll give you half and half! Things I've had: Smoothies: almost more than I can drink Steak and fries: cooked a bit more than I had asked but they don't skimp on the veggies Ham and cheese omelette: carmelized onions in an omelette? Amazing! Chipotle chicken on spelt toast: avocado makes most things good. Nice alternative to a classic club. Super chill atmosphere, movie poster decor is amusing. Yes, it gets crowded on weekends and I have had to wait upwards of 45mins to get a table. But what good brunch/brekky joint doesn't have a line? read more

We were there on a Sunday, late morning for brunch. The restaurant is crowded, but service is quick and efficient. They turn around tables in about 30 minutes or less. It's great for a quick brunch (in a crowded place). It's nearby, parking across the street was free, and the huevos divorciados and ceasars were the best! read more

We sought out this place after reading that it was one of the best breakfast places in the city. It was busy on the weekday afternoon that we went - the poor server was run off her feet by serving all alone. Initial reaction of the place was that it was cute with a fun retro-trendy decor. There were quite a few options on the menu for brunch (lots of south of the border items) but ultimately we both decided on the typical all-day breakfast. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time and tasted good. The home fries weren't my favorite but the eggs portion was plentiful and the bacon was pretty yummy. The baguette bread was a nice substitute for typical toast. Overall, I'm glad we checked out this place although truthfully I wouldn't rush back. I feel the breakfast was fairly typical to most brunch places in Toronto. What was not typical, although quite surprising, was the $4 charged to add cheese to the scrambled eggs - a hefty amount especially when we both couldn't really tell if it had actually been added. As the rating says - 'A-OK'. read more
