Great little breakfast place, has everything you need and opens early in the morning. You walk in, and seat yourself. The menus are totally grimey, like they haven't been cleaned in years. Not that big of a deal. There's omelets, breakfast bowls, pancakes, your regular breakfast options. I got a basic breakfast with eggs, home fries and sausage. All of it was really good. The home fries were cold. Everything else was warm though. Overall, good breakfast spot. read more

Friendly down to earth and colourful staff who gripe comically about the various boroughs around the city. Service is prompt, eggs are perfect and they make you feel welcome and never rushed despite the bustle. They were also open all Easter weekend. read more

Recently discovered thanks to Uber Eats, was nicely surprised with quality of food and size of portions. The place looks like a regular diner but friendly and organized staff makes the difference. I had a freshly squeezed orange juice that was delicious and tasty. I ordered eggs benedict with salmon and home made fries that are actually delicious because they are not fried but baked which makes them earthier. The eggs on an English muffin with fresh salmon were equal delicious and well done. Also they came with some fruits on the side which makes it always nice and refreshing. I have yet to try their house coffee but hey it's Saturday morning, guess where I am going for breakfast? :) Recommended if you are looking for some good unpretentious place for breakfast in the downtown core. read more

Great place for a hearty tasty breakfast! Good food, even better prices Was absolutely packed on New Year's Day but they moved fast and seated us quickly. read more

I headed over to Eggsmart after a long night of drinking with my girlfriends. Hoping that my meal would equate to something that I would receive from an establishment like Fran's, skilled in this area, I directed us to Eggsmart. The food was sub-par. I couldn't understand how a place that only opens for breakfast could survive with food of such standard at the price it was charging. Service was okay. I think I'd rather go to Cora's a few blocks away. read more

What a pleasant peach of a place! I've come to Toronto multiple times and never knew about this place, I'm now making this a regular place to visit. Service was great, food came crazy fast and was quite good! I highly recommend this place! read more

They serve typical brunch and breakfast fare. I had the usual breakfast with sausage and rye toast. Nothing mind blowing but the waiter was fantastic and the food was pretty good and way cheaper than other bougie brunch places. I also especially love their home fries. Dunno how they make it but it's perfect. read more

It's a dive, a little dated inside if you can get past that, the service and food was delicious. Our plates were empty when we left, bellies full and satisfied. I ordered avocado toast (on rye) with a side of bacon and crafted this delicious tower of yumminess hubby had an egg bowl and kids had Belgian waffles with strawberries and whip cream. read more

Eggsmart - Avocado toast with poached eggs and a side of bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Positives: -seated quickly even though the line was seemingly long -waitress was very nice and vibrant -food came fast -soup was pretty good -decent portion sizes for price Not-so-goods: -all the dishes looked dirty, old, and unclean -eggs in eggs benedict were too far well done -was not offered any coffee refills until getting ready to leave read more

Do not order the eggs Benedict. Worst ever. The home fries tasted really funky. Like they were fried in old grease. Waitress was excellent but that was the only good thing. read more

Eggs Benedict with Peameal Bacon. $4 for Orange juice, It's fresh and good a little pricey for the size tho. Peameal Bacon is good but the Eggs Benedict it self wasn't anything special. The yolk was over cooked, the home fries a bit on the tasteless side. Service was subpar, never came by and asked how was my food. I Didn't bother mentioning the yolk was over cooked then. Oh well.. no point coming back. read more

On May 11th I went to your establishment for brunch and was greeted by John. John was very polite and nice while placing my order. I do not eat pork and ordered a southwest without bacon but with salmon. Steven, the manager, then came to take over and was a terrible communicator. He did not listen, cut me off several times, and spoke to me in a patronizing tone. I asked to see the menu to confirm a build an omelet option. However, he was reluctant to show me the menu. Eventually he did. Although I was not happy with the order he proposed. It did not contain what I asked for 5 minutes prior. I asked if I could have a waiter that could communicate better. He, Steven, grabbed my water and orange juice abruptly. He told me that I could leave. I was frightened and taken off guard. I've never, ever been treated this way in my entire life. read more

Run of the mill breakfast place, mediocre food. Lots of other places with better breakfast options.

Great place! The food is a bit pricey but their pea meal bacon was the best my hubby ever tasted. The good was excellent and generous Portions. We got take out so I can not comment on the service but my husband what he did see was all above board. Good breaky place. read more

We had breakfast here because it was close to our hotel. First impressions were not good and set a bad tone for the meal. It was busy and our server brought our coffees and juices. The Mold: (the service) My four year old opens a creamer and says she doesn't like it, so I'm about to pour it into my coffee when I notice a blue stain on the inside. Yes. It is mold. Furry stuff. What's worse is my kid just sipped this blue mold. I calmly tell the server and allow him to inspect the fuzzy little tub, and he says, "Yeah, it happens. I've had that happen before." and when I say, no, this is not normal or acceptable, he gets defensive and keeps telling me "it happens, ok?" As if this is a good answer?!! I work in the restaurant business and the first words out if his mouth should have been a sincere apology, and taking responsibility for the mishap. A new bowl of creamer would have been appropriate. Instead he just avoids us until the food arrives and never bothers to follow up with us again. The Breakfast: We had choc chip and blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, and the sausage scrambler. The creamer mold made us all slightly nauseous so it's hard to say if the food was good or not. I was paranoid there was more hidden mold given the server's blase way about it. It seemed fairly ordinary, each plate decorated with a melon slice, but I had lost my appetite by then. I wouldn't say it's the cheapest breakfast joint for what you get. Plenty of other good diner options out there. Definitely not returning. read more

Staff friendly, fast. Please busy clean and pretty organized. Coffee delivered fast and hot. Breakfast delivered fast and hot. Excellent for what I was looking for. Will be back!! read more

I've walked by this place many times since they opened and am impressed by what they have done with the location (it was a run-down, infested looking Coffee Time store previously which attracted the wrong crowd). It now is bright, clean and service with a smile. I think the price was right but my meal wasn't really hot at all and that's probably why I wouldn't come here regularly but I'd be willing to give them another shot when I want a quick sit down breakfast. read more

A great breakfast. Three eggs with become and sausage. A Very much hospital able eatery

This is a small place, so get there early or for a late meal if you're there for breakfast. The service is fast. The servers are friendly and efficient. The food is excellent and affordable. read more

On a cool rainy Friday morning In May I visited this place with four co-workers on our last day working together to have a good breakfast. I wasn't sure what to expect after reading all the other reviews. This place looks like a 90s diner that has been in use since the 90s, with the modern widescreen TV being the only exception. I mean the door had a shattered pane of glass and all the wear and tear didn't make it seem like a place that I would normally visit. At 7:45am it was quite busy and appears that they tried to cram as many tables and chairs as they could. We tried to get a table for 6 but the only empty table large enough was right beside the door. Every time someone came in or left I would feel a cold sting during a chilly morning as I was sitting right by the door, literally. Our server was very friendly. I didn't get coffee because I knew that I was going to have some later in the day so he got me some water without asking. This location doesn't have the early bird special. Our orders must have taken 15-20mins to arrive. I ordered what I think is called the classic breakfast for $8.49 which was scrambled eggs with sausage as my choice and it came with buttery white toast and potatoes on the side. I didn't care for the thin slice of fruit, but the breakfast was delicious, filling and just the way I wanted it. I wouldn't usually shell out that much just for breakfast, but if you can get past the atmosphere this place is worth a try. read more

Good place for a quick and cheap lunch. The portions are generous and the service is consistent. The Big Breakfast is a good option with a lot of food for the hungry (eggs, toast, pancakes, potatoes, bacon, sausage, ham, and a little bit of a fruit). I wouldn't expect much from their "fancy" offerings, but the breakfast basics have always been decent. read more

This is a great diner style place for breakfast. It's fast, tasty and just what you'd expect for a basic breakfast place. Eggs and bacon, with a keep the coffee coming staff. Friendly staff and fast service. read more

Really good casual breakfast. Had hash browns with added caramelized onions which were amazing. Eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly.

The service has greatly improved since my last post. Excellent server, food was good.

Love breakfast foods at an affordable price. This place is friendly and the waitstaff are great!! Always friendly, even at 6 a.m. Worth going for the smile :) read more

Where do i start! place too small to accommodate the tables they have in it. The smell is so bad the place is not properly ventilated, the AC efficiency it's so low you will be sweating and dripping within minutes, the servers are trying but do not have much experience, the food is less than average for the price, the potatoes that are served with the eggs taste like they are raw, the table, the decor, the whole place is outdated, eat breakfast somewhere else trust me save yourself this experience here. read more

I fucking love this place. I come here w my bf all the time, and the lady recognizes us. The staff is super friendly, it's comfort brunch food, very home-y and rustic feel... I adore this place, and this place is indeed adorable :D they fill up your coffee before you're even halfway done with your mug, they give you relationship advice, man its like visiting an aunt's house! Love it love it! read more

I had the chicken sizzler omelet, with a side of bacon and orange juice. It was absolutely delicious! :) The service is friendly, and relatively efficient. It can really be crowded on weekends which kind of sucks cause there's no waiting spot for people who have yet to be seated. So you either choose standing outside in hypothermic conditions or imposing your entire being on the poor sucker who is trying to down his Eggs Benedict without feeling uncomfortable as you hover over him. read more

This place is conveniently located, is spacious, and has great staff. The food was phenomenal. The home fries are cooked to absolute perfection. I had the meat lovers omelette. It was delicious. Cooked perfectly and my order was customized. Staff had no problems with this. On a side note to the franchise (not this location).... Either buy a bigger glass or STOP charging nearly $5 for a small glass of juice. Jeez. read more

This is a solid place for breakfast . I have been looking for one for a long while and came to the conclusion this is the best after several disappointing experiences in the Annex and downtown core. read more

Staff is very friendly and the food is fast and good. It's very casual. I recommend the eggs Benedict with peameal bacon.

Came in to indulge on brunch and left wishing I went to McDonald's for breakfast. My eggs benedict was pretty average, but the home fries were the real culprit of ruining this meal. Undercooked and needed some more flavour. Spinach feta omelette was nothing to take note of. Have always come across eggsmart restaurants over and over, intrigued about how good a breakfast would be. Next time I'll keep on passing by. read more

The waffles here are amazing, except the restaurant smelled like urine... hard to enjoy your meal while it smelled like that. service was very good though! read more

Unfortunately this place is not great. We waited for about 15 minutes for a table on a Sunday morning (that part is fine, happens all the time everywhere) but there does not appear to be a dedicated host/hostess, one of the waiters eventually pointed us to a table that hadn't been completely cleared. We tried the eggs benedict with sweet potato fries and the eggsmart poutine. Both were fine -- not the best, not the worst. No one ever came by to refill our coffees. It was very busy and like a lot of the other reviews note, they seem understaffed. The poor waitstaff seemed to be running around a lot. We saw our server only twice -- when she took our order and when she gave us our bill. If they added just one more server I think that would make a big difference during the breakfast/brunch rush on weekends. read more

Was in the area meeting my daughter for breakfast last Tuesday. We were walking along Dundas when I noticed the sign and assumed a place called Eggsmart would do a good breakfast......... boy was I wrong! I ordered the Scrambler, since I like sausage and it sounded a little lighter than an omelette or fried eggs. Also, the Scrambler is 9.99 which is more than getting 3 eggs with sausage (presumably at least 2). So I get it, and first for some unknown reason I thought a scrambler would be scrambled eggs (silly me). What I got was a horrible omelette cut up with MAYBE one sausage sliced up in it so thin you could barely taste it. It was greasy and tasteless. I tried one of the home fries, but that wasn't any better. The toast was good! Was trying t get the waitresses attention to get the bill which took about 15 minutes as she was too busy chatting on her cellphone. How do places like this stay in business??? read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast after a red-eye flight. Got three eggs over medium with potatoes and coffee. That's about all there is to say. It came really quickly, was perfectly serviceable for breakfast and the price wasn't bad. Only slight was that it took a bit longer than I'd have liked to get my bill payed. read more

Personally I love breakfast but this place made me reconsider my love for it.. First there is only choices of 3 eggs.. Seriously 3 is way too much and then I got the benny cuz I love'em but the peameal bacon she gave me was cold and tough really not good also the yokes werent runny and my coffee only refilled once.. Ill say for a quickie it might work or if I was a trucker in need of 3 eggs.. But no I dont recommend this place at all read more

Eggsmart is located right across the street from my place, so naturally I've called ahead to place take out orders. It's relatively cheap and the food itself has never been an issue. However, on at least two occasions, the order I received was not the exact order I had placed. For instance, one time I specifically requested and according to the bill paid the additional fee for bacon to accompany my chocolate chip pancakes, but to my disappointment, no bacon received. Recently, bf and I decided to treat ourselves to breakfast across the street. It was the first time we actually had the dine in experience. Not impressed! We got there shortly after 9 am to beat the morning rush but the place itself was already so noisy. We could barely hear each other across the table. The majority of the noise, in my opinion, stemmed from the staff talking over each other and calling out across the room for each other. Furthermore, as we witnessed, the waitress was rude to several different customers on occasions. No tact. No quality customer service. Lastly, because of the limited seated capacity of the establishment, by the end of our meal, we were sharing our table with a random gentleman. What was left of our meal was eaten in silence as we scurried to make our exit. Awkward. read more

Ok I too live in the area and finally went in today. Place always looks busy when I go by and that is encouraging because what was keeping me from trying the place was the memory of the disgusting Coffeetime that used to occupy the same space. I wanted basically one fried egg on an english muffin with ham and cheese. They could not do that. I spy eggs benedict on the menu and inquire if they could cook the poached eggs hard, leave off the hollandaise sauce and add cheese. Yes they could do that if I paid $2.00 for the swiss cheese. No problem I say. It arrives and the poached eggs are runny ( I noted in the reviews below complaints from eggs benny recipients who to their dismay received theirs cooked through!). I push the eggs off the english muffin and fold up what is now essentially a ham and cheese sandwich. I call the waitress over to show her the puddle of yolk on my plate and ask her if that is what she would call cooked through. She states: I wrote down cooked through, I said that is not what I asked you. She says do you want another order. I am already half way through my sandwich and I say no. The ham was of good quality and the homefries had the potential to be good if they had arrived hot. With the OJ and tea the bill was $18.78 tax included minus the $0.90 the waitress knocked off the bill for the screw up on the eggs. I left a $20 not bothering to wait for change. Can now say that I have been twice as in first and last time I will ever set foot in the place. BTW at 9:00am on a Sunday the place was packed but they graciously seated me at a table for 6. Then they were going to make an obviously tourist couple wait but I offered to have them join me at my table. read more

I went twice to Eggsmart and today would mark my third time. Their breakfasts are nice. I usually have the Eggwhite scrambler as the size is avarage however their meals tend to be on the larger side. The atmosphere is very casual. The place is fairly clean. The one thing that keeps changing is the service. The first time i went the service was excellent despite the place being full and crowded. The second time however it was not at crowded and the service was horrible. I was told they couldn't serve hot milk? Apparently they don't have the 'machine' to heat it. The server was a bit rude for my liking and very lazy. However that won't stop me from going there as it does offer a nice variety of breakfasts. read more
