I love a good breakfast place. I've been here a couple times now. I found the staff to be super friendly. The breakfast was good, and they have pan-fried hash browns. I'll be back. EDIT: I'm changing my review to add another star. I'm sitting here watching the owner? manager? walk around and talk to people. Making sure they feel welcome and engaging in authentic conversation. I lJust love that. I experienced the same authenticity the last time I was here with the waitress. I thought it was a one-off. Clearly it wasn't. read more

The food was more in between average and good. The presentation was on the spot and it was nicely curated. The texture was bit hard for potatoes and it just did not hit the spot. The service was quick and commendable. read more

Eggsmart - The Big Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Over the years I've walked past this restaurant many times. But it wasn't breakfast time. Im glad it survived the past 18 months. It's a small box but maybe 20 or so inside tables place. Clean. Open kitchen run by one very busy guy. I liked my omelette and my daughter loved her pancakes. They also make burgers. I've been disappointed with Eggspectation and Cora. So I may go here again. read more

Place was close to my hotel. Staff was friendly and food was reasonable price. Good place for a quick breakfast.

I can't even remember how many times I've walked by this joint over the years, so when we happened to find ourselves in the area bright and early on a recent Sunday morning, I couldn't resist the opportunity to finally stop in for a bite to eat. The place was already quite crowded even through it was only 9:00am, but we managed to snag a nice table near the center of the restaurant. I'm a complete sucker for anything burrito-related, so I obviously wound up getting the Classic Steak Burrito ("Shaved steak, scrambled eggs, avocado, Swiss cheese, green peppers, caramelized onions and chipotle sauce"). The food arrived about 15 minutes later and I was pleasantly surprised that the burrito and the fries were both piping hot. Eggsmart gets big points just for that. It's a tasty burrito. The various components inside work really well together and it's been finished on the grill so that it holds together perfectly. I suppose my one complaint would be the swiss cheese, as it was clearly a subpar brand and contained a fairly waxy texture/taste. But the included chipotle sauce, which is delicious, does a nice job of hiding that flavor. The service was a little slow and my dining companion got French Fries instead of the requested Home Fries, but otherwise I enjoyed my meal at Eggsmart quite a bit. read more

You hear this phrase about businesses: They say "fast, cheap, good - pick two". Well Eggsmart is all three! Food was delicious, came out in no time, and prices are good! A casual diner with very pleasant and fast service. Loved it. read more

The positives were that there was cheap prices and the food came fast, other people I went with enjoyed their food but personally I found the omelette bland. Service was a bit slow but it was a bit busy, but the waiter was nice and apologetic which was good. Overall if you go here I wouldn't recommend the omelette but it's nice and if you are staying at the Chelsea hotel it's only a minute walk for a cheaper breakfast then what is offered there. read more

The spacious Eggsmart Franchise at the southeast corner of Bay & Elm serves delicious breakfast and brunch/lunch dishes. My friend had the Southwest Egg Skillet of sautéed green peppers, onions, black beans, corn, avocado, pico de gallo, drizzled with southwest sauce and garnished with cilantro with sourdough toast and home fries and while I had the Feta Spinach 4 Egg Omelette as pictured. Both were delicious. Coffee was bottomless and the service was friendly and attentive. Recommended! read more

look how I received my eggs bene from here delivered by an Uber employee via a roll coaster and also missing the two coffees I ordered. could you image how you would feel when you're craving that nice hot coffee and warm eggs Benny. instead I received a mash of ice cold food and no coffees. and then uber just pleasantly thanked me for input via a BOT or virtual cookie cutter answer. would you pay $40 for ths???? no refund is even more insulting. I'm done with both the provider of food and delivery service. disillusioned at the least and disgusted to the most. read more

We came here on New Years Day, and they were super busy. I ordered the signature hash and my friend got the eggs florentine. Our food was pretty good, the bacon was cooked perfectly--- not too crispy, not too soft. I liked that my dish had avocado and toast included in it, so I had the option of making my own avo-toast without paying $12 for just that. My friend said that his eggs florentine was really good, cooked perfectly. Our server was a super happy and perky Asian girl, she was so happy it made our days better too! :) read more

Eggsmart - Eggsmart Signature Hash and Eggs Florentine - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Eggsmart is the definition of a no-frills, basic, run of the mill breakfast spot with the nothing special to offer, and just the basics. I stopped into Eggsmart on Sunday morning thanks to being an early riser and not much else in the area really being open that I wanted. The place had a decent number of people in it but we were seated right away. The menu here is pretty standard and offers the usual breakfast platters, omelettes, and pancakes you could want. I ended up ordering a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, wheat toast, hash browns, and I had a sausage link to go with it. The food was what it needed to be, it tasted like any run of the mill diner and did the trick. The food I ate was all good, just nothing to really discuss or write about. If you live in the Bay/Gerrard area this isn't a bad place to stop for a cheap breakfast, just don't expect to be wowed. read more

Eggsmart - A simple mans breakfast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've been here a couple of times over the past few years and it's safe to say that the quality and customer service is consistent. It's a typical breakfast if you don't feel like making one at home. Average taste with pretty big portions and free refills on tea. I had the fresh fruit french toast and my mum had a lighter version of the big breakfast (can't remember what it's exactly called..) As others have said, no wow factor but normal tasting food with good portions. It's like a diner but slightly elevated. read more

Was staying in the hotel for a medical appointment and ordered online during this pandemic from Eggsmart. Took the 4 minute walk from my room to pickup my turkey bacon, rye, home fries, & egg breaky along with their amazing coffee. The meal size was perfect for my small, hungry stomach. The service was absolutely quick and very friendly. The food was freshly made and stayed hot as I ate it in my hotel room. Eggs-ellent price with the 20% tip for my bomb diggity, show stopping eats. Highly recommend read more

Convenient, Reasonable, fast service and pleasant customer service Although I read a host of negative reviews for Eggsmart I deferred to try it out for myself. So after having reading the bad reviews and enjoying a very pleasant experience at Eggspectation I had no expectations for Eggsmart. We entered to a evenly populated restaurant and were greeted quickly by our server. To start off, we ordered two Hot Chocolates with whip cream. I had the three cheese omelet with wheat toast and french fries. Mom had the Mediterranean Omelet. I kid you not my food was on the table in less than 5 mins. The portions were huge. I had to extend my hands far from the plate to take the pics since the plates were so large. I could definitely tell the food was plastered in butter...sorry arteries, luckily I don't eat like this too often. But nonetheless I was satisfied. Eggsmart served it's purpose and I have no complaints about the establishment or service. read more

It's was a first for me to visit. It was busy. We ordered our food. The time waiting was average. However some of my food was cold and hard. I am not too discouraged yet. I will visit again and hope for a better outcome read more

This is such a cute little "hole in the wall" for breakfast and brunch. It was just down the street from our hotel and well within walking distance (we were at the Double Tree Hilton). The menu is about average size for a brunch type place but still had good variety. I got the chorizo breakfast sandwich with potatoes. The potatoes were seasoned with something and was delicious! No need for ketchup or condiments. The sandwich and potatoes were both quite filling and I couldn't finish it all but I wanted to. The ladies working the restaurant were so nice and sweet and quick! Thumbs up! read more

Good coffee. Friendly server. Great options. Large portions. Only thing is I wish the homefries were cooked harder.

Headed out for brunch with Angela over the weekend. And to be honest, we didn't get to the restaurant till around 2pm... so not really brunch. But nonetheless, who doesn't love sleeping in and eating brunch when you're actually awake right? Though to the readers out there, when do you head out for weekend breakfast or brunch? I'm curious. Anywho, headed to Eggsmart that's located along Bay and Elm. Eggsmart's been here for a while and on the weekends even at 2pm appear to be still bringing peeps who finally decided to wake up and meet up for "brunch". =P. Nothing fancy with the decor, it's your typical diner that focuses on breakfast/brunch clientele. It's a long restaurant and we were seated near the back. Angela and I weren't really hungry but didn't wanna end up eating dinner late at night. The waitress serving us was fast and efficient and wasted no time. She was attentive throughout our whole meal and was quick to meet any of our needs, like a dropped fork. =P. Angela ordered the Blueberry pancakes with a side of sausages and I ordered the Meat Lovers Scrambler. The Meat Lovers Scrambler is essentially scrambled eggs with steak, chicken, bacon, cheese, onions and green pepper. The wait wasn't too bad at around 10-15 minutes. Once the food arrived Angela as usually buttered up her pancakes and poured over a fair amount of maple syrup. Gross I know right? Or sugary heaven, I haven't really made up my mind. The Meat Lovers Scrambler wasn't bad. Pretty much what I expected, though if I'm back next time, I'm going for the sausage scrambler. With the Meat Lovers, there wasn't a distinctive taste as it was lost in the wide variety of meats. Both Angela and I liked the home fries and they weren't your typical deep fried taters. It appeared to be the freshly cut, lightly seasoned and pan fried goodness that you can make at home. The pancakes weren't bad, but nothing special. But the side order of sausage, they were overcooked and kinda dry. Maybe it was getting near the end of breakfast. Not very good at all. Overall, Eggsmart isn't horrible. It's your typical diner type breakfast joint. Nothing really stood out and to me, this place is pretty much like Denny's. Don't hate, but I prefer IHOP over Denny's ANYDAY SON! So Eggsmart's isn't a horrible choice for the casual breakfast when you don't feel like cooking and it's close by. You can hop over in your sweat pants or PJ's and no one will get upset. I don't think I would head here as the sole focal point, but sometimes you just wanna eat in your sweatpants and hoodie and not be started at. read more

Stopped into this place for Friday brunch at 11am. It was very busy and they looked understaffed. Service was slow. The menu selection was great and our waitress was very nice. Hubby ordered a classic eggs plate and I had a Montreal smoked meat Benny with Jersey shore fries. They had a light crispy coating on it which I really liked. The hollandaise was on the side and it was flavourless and not much volume. There was only a bit of meat on my Benny and I expected more. My English muffin was a bit chewy but my eggs were perfectly poached medium. I did find a hair on the side of my plate. Didn't fuss although I'd usually mention it. Felt bad for the understaffing issue. Hubby's plate had a double order of sausages. He enjoyed it and had little to complain about. I do find that with so many eateries in TO, there's a lot of average or mediocre food that will get you full. I'm disappointed as I had higher hopes. read more

The Positives: -Our waitress was very nice and friendly. Our brunch came within 5 minutes of ordering which is always good, especially when you're starving. The Negatives: -Was immediately turned off by the amount of flies in the restaurant, especially on the walls and in the kitchen area (ew). -Our water looked disgusting! It wasn't clear, it was pretty cloudy and had little white things floating in it. Needless to say I didn't dare touch it. I ordered a juice instead and didn't bother pouring it into the cups provided because of all the flies that were flying in the kitchen area. The food: -I ordered the spinach and feta cheese omelette with home fries and toast. My home fries was a bit on the cool side and didn't taste fresh. My omelette was average. My mom definitely makes wayyy better omelettes. Overall I was expecting this Eggsmart to be better well kept considering it's at the heart of downtown Toronto. I'll visit Eggsmart again (only if there's nothing better around) but definitely not this location. read more

As a big fan of breakfast foods, I thought I'd check out this place on Bay. The prices are very reasonable, but the food was nothing to write home about. Everything tasted fine, and was all in all a solid breakfast. Fruit wasn't particularly fresh, and I was a bit disappointed in the sausages as they were weirdly tough and a bit strange in flavour. Coffee was average, but free refills are always appreciated. read more

Ordered the waffle with fruits. Fruits were not bad but the waffle was hard and dry. It was hot so I believe it's made freshly while it tasted so bad. Don't wanna go again but the service was nice. read more

Decent food for decent prices. Usually, I'd order the steak and eggs or eggs benedict. Once I ordered a burger, and that was pretty good. Good services. Quality: 6.5/10. Services: 7/10. Value: 7/10. Overall: 6.5/10. read more

For years and years we love to go to eggsmart, because we always felt the place is homey and the service is excellent and the price is reasonable. But for the last two three visit we will really disappointed, the service was very about you could sit and wait for 20 minutes and no one cares to ask you anything, while you see the workers walking or standing answering phones or talking to each other. Lost visit was today September 10th 2022 They got us the coffee and the menu, and we sat there for more than 15 minutes and no one came in to ask us about the order. Finally somebody came in and took the order but no refill for the coffee for us, after that we ask one of the waitress to do that for us, 10 minutes pass no one came in so we got to the point where my wife left the table I went to the waitress and asked her again to get us a coffee. The lady came in filled up my wife's cup only leaving me behind without coffee, anyway the food came in missing apart, and after the last portion came in and we ate, we start begging the waitress to come so we can pay and leave, and that took us another 20 minutes. Last time food was cold and not as the way we ask for it. So we are very disappointed at decide not to go there again anymore. Show less Date of visit: September 2022 read more

I wanted to like this place. Their menu looked great and it was busy. Came in - no sign whether to sit or wait to be seated. I paused then walked to the counter. A couple came in behind me and the waiter glanced up and addressed them and not me. I caught the eye of another waitress and ask if I should sit. She said if I can find a spot. I did - a nice spot near the back away from the cold door. Service was prompt to get my order. Then I was asked to move from my table of four in the warm area (there were only tables of four available) to a squished table close to the door that ended up being freezing. Took a while for my meal to come but it was busy. Avocado toast with eggs. Eggs were cold. Toast was soggy. It had been sitting a while. I might go back and give this place another shot but I'll wear my hat and mitts in case I get moved from where I want to sit. read more

To be honest, i really like the food there, and the service is good, most of time. Deduct one star just to share one visit that i really disappointed. It was approx. two weeks ago, myself and my friend were having brunch at this place, everything was perfect as usual. There was a Chinese waitress serving us. We haven't finished our meal but she gave us our bill, which was OK. HOWEVER, on the bill, she already put 15% as tips and gave straight to us. At the first glance, I thought amount was wrong as it's more expensive then we ordered, later on i realized she's already put the tips amount on the bill, this made me and my friend really uncomfortable. I think tips is still voluntary based right? Although 15% is kinda standard as starting point, how can you just take it granted and put it on the bill and gave straight to us? My friend and I guessed that, maybe it's because we are both Chinese and so is she. She knew that Chinese customer in general pays less tips, so she used this method to "softly force" us to pay "the standard tips". We still paid, after all, as we usually did. but this one off experience really disappointed us as we really don't think it's appropriate. read more

This is really one of the worst dining experiences ever. The servers were pleasant. Almost. "Steak Wrap with no green peppers" is what my friend ordered and it came with the excuse "Oh ya I forgot to write it down." It was honesty. Then they took twice as long with the correct order but it too had a few pieces of green pepper in it. And the steak pieces were without any fibre... some sort of rubberish looking gray matter. By the time I waited for the second rush order so that I could eat with my friend my food was now cold. But that's my fault. My food was fine overall and the "3 eggs" seemed a generous portion. The bacon was cold when it arrived. The coffee was fine - that's important. The orange juice made my friend wince because it was sour. Some people do like that. I've never heard of it being too sour before. But here's the real kicker for me. My friend took me there saying she had coupons. And the waitress said no luck - only on week days. She was so embarrassed and was a little hurt. She just gave me the coupons for myself having been humiliated over trying to save us a little money and she bought breakfast. I just read the coupons now and there isn't any indication on the coupons nor the website that says there is any condition on the coupon except to use by the end of the year. It seems like like it must have been a lie on instruction of the owner. Well, that's how it seems to me. Because the meal was so shite the waitress comped the drinks for $6. I said nothing to her and tipped her nothing. I hope the place puts itself out of business as soon as possible. Ick. read more

A good friend of mine had some time to kill in the city while waiting for his bus, so we met up and walked about a block. Their colourful signs caught our attention and we decided that we were both in the mood for breakfast at 2:00 PM. There were about 4 or 5 other people there; this didn't really change over our 40-minute eating/catching up. Everyone got quick, really friendly service. I was actually surprised at how fast our food came. It was probably less than 5 minutes. I had The Classic Breakfast: Eggs, bacon, home fries, and toast. It was a pretty big portion size and served at the perfect temperature. Even better was the seemingly never-ending supply of those little packages of jam and peanut butter. I love those things. Try it out, and DEFINITELY get the fresh squeezed orange juice--unless you have a thing against pulp. read more

Terrible service, awful food. Thoroughly disgusted. I will never go back to this awful "restaurant." Arrived just before 7:05. There were 2 other customers already seated. I sat down. Two more people arrived and were seated. I ordered the classic breakfast. Two more people arrived while I waited. Everyone received their food before me. My order arrived after 16 minutes. When I mentioned this to the waitress, she claimed that they ordered scrambled eggs which was "easier" to make. Since when was scrambled eggs easier than over easy? I pointed out that I had ordered before 4 of the others, having arrived before them. Her response was that the food is good. The food was terrible. The bacon was cooked until dry. It was like flavourless strips of cardboard. The eggs were a combination of runny and overcooked. The "freshly squeezed" orange juice was also terrible. I will never come here again. read more

3 stars, right down the middle. This characterless chain serves perfectly average breakfasts. The eggs were fried, the bread was toasted, the potatoes boiled then fried, and the coffee was...poured. Put it all together and you get their "Classic Breakfast", 5.39 without meat, 6.99 with bacon, ham or sausage. (7.99 w peameal bacon). Add 1.99 for a bottomless cup o' joe. read more

Pathetic. Arrived at 7am on our way to visit our daughter at nearby Sick Kids hospital. Walked in and immediately was approached by owner (?) telling us they were closed for half an hour because their "order just came in." Incredulous, I remarked, "what the h*ll? Your a breakfast place that isn't open in the morning?" Maybe a bit inappropriate, but here I am carrying luggage and other assorted things for my daughter's room. A break would have been appreciated. Anyway, after unsuccessfully trying to make him see the ridiculousness of a breakfast restaurant unprepared to serve breakfast we left to the sound if the door locking behind us...and the "open" signs still blinking in the windows. read more

I've eaten here twice now and have had mixed experiences. Fortunately the prices are more than reasonable, so I can excuse some things in exchange for a lower price. The first time my food was good and tasty. However, I had something rather simple: the scrambled egg basic breakfast. The second time I ate there the food was less tasty. I had the eggs benedict w/ham. The hollandaise was too thick and separating and the eggs were overcooked, solid all the way through. The taste was still decent, but not the best eggs benny I've had in this town. Both times the potatoes were good. Nothing ground breaking, but good flavor and a nice amount. On both trips the wait staff have been extremely friendly. read more
