    Rubert B.

    Hey, me Rubert here. I'm back for my annual restaurant review after recently popping a squat at this fine establishment. First, I want to talk about the service, and oh boy, was it nice. Our server, Emma, was very kind and offered me suggestions. Following her wisdom I decided to go with the "Meet Me at Brunch" finger guns. It was delicious. The aura of the place is unmatched, and it was really cool being surrounded by other likeminded individuals who don't just enjoy food to survive, but to have a good time. Anyways, that's enough from me. Take care, and remember to always eat your way to your dreams.

    I am not a vegan. Infact a hard core non vegetarian. But i was impressed with their vegan brunch that my friend ordered. Great flavours, generous portions- very satiating overall.

    I concur with Weiqi's 4-star review of this tourist spot right near all Toronto's big attractions. For tourists, this is as good as it gets! Food was top notch. No complaints at all. If you crave diner food from back in your home town, this would be recommended by me in the area. Atmosphere and service a commensurate for a higher end place that you would expect from a large city restaurant with bold and bright interior including views onto some interesting walkways and roads as well as great service from friendly staff. They look ready to handle large volumes so don't be put off if they are busy with crowds in this area, they got you!

    This place is visually stunning, with a clean environment, appetizing food, friendly staff, and service that hits the mark. 11/10.

    Cute place.. enjoyed the chandeliers and interior design. The tables are all spaced very close to just be prepared for a tight fit. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable about gluten-free, but had lots of tables so service was quite slow. Lots of gf options on the menu including gf bread. I had the avocado and tomato toast and eggs. I really liked the side salad and everything was prepared well. Seasoning was a bit bland for my taste but they had lots of condiments for that. Overall nice spot close to the convention center.

    Definitely worth the wait! We waited about 20 to 30 minutes. The entire stay, we noticed the line stayed out the door. The service by Andre was fabulous. Steak and eggs breakfast was absolutely phenomenal! We ordered the "Irish coffee" was supposed to come with whiskey, sugar, and whipped cream. Showed up at our table as a black coffee with whiskey. We were able to ask for some oat milk on the side and added our own sugar and it turned out well. I have to say the coffee was really really good! The ambience was absolutely beautiful and everything was seamlessly perfect.

    Food/Drinks: This is a great place to get some breakfast. They have a range of items in their menu. We decided to get a salmon bowl, and my husband got a waffle with strawberries. It was really good, and I did enjoy the mimosas. Location: The location is very pretty and spacious. When we went, it was pretty busy, and we did have to wait a bit because we didn't have a reservation, but no more than 15 minutes, and we were able to get a table. The location is spacious and a pretty casual breakfast spot. Lots of families and couples, and just a perfect place to grab food to start your day. We walked here from our hotel, so I'm not sure how parking works for this location. Service: The service was pretty quick and helpful.

    Cute cozy quaint intimate place. There wasn't anything unique on the menu. The food was very straightforward. We had a standard breakfast but the portions were very satisfying.

    Attempt 1: Steak was well done (I asked for medium well). Eggs were good, potatoes and bread were bland.
    Joy O.

    Full Review: Ambiance: The restaurant is absolutely beautiful -- from the overall decor to the stylish bathrooms, everything was thoughtfully designed and visually stunning. Service: The hostess was incredibly sweet and went above and beyond by taking several photos of me with the CN Tower in the background, which I really appreciated. She also accommodated my seating preference without hesitation. My server seemed a bit new but was very patient and kind, especially since it took me a while to settle in and place my order. The manager also stood out -- very friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout my visit. Food: Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the rest of the experience. It was underwhelming overall.

    Nice little breakfast spot in Downtown Toronto near The Raptors Arena. Outdoor seating with a nice view of the CN Tower as well! Vegan Spinach Omelet and Salmon was pretty good.

    Bustling Breakfast and Lunch resto close to Union Station, Air Canada Centre on Lower Simcoe. Nearby parling available but lots of doot traffic. Make reservayions if ypu can! Service is friendly and attentive. Flavours are clean and delicious and dependable. .Noise level is quite high with lits of kids in the resto so be prepared , this wont be quiet dining :)

    Great ambiance, all of their locations have good lighting and nice interior, perfect for cute brunch photos. Service was not bad, but I thought the orders took a while to come, and our salads look like they were tossed long time ago and isn't fresh anymore (see pictures). The dishes were very filling, and portions were big though.

    Avocado toast

    Food and drinks were delicious. Service was good but timing was slow. Arrived for our reservation. Sat immediately. Server came to say hello. Came second time to get drink order. Came a third time to get our food order. Saw drinks at the bar for several minutes before we got them. Food arrived 55 minutes after we sat. Didn't see server for several minutes needing condiments. Finally got them after we were half way done. Food was great. Server was lovely just no hustle (but maybe that's the vibe?). I would go back but I'd order everything at first hello.

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.

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.

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.

We also happened to be in Toronto when the weather was sunny and beautiful, so that also helped make this a nice experience. The food was well priced and light. We were able to finish most of what we ordered. The potatoes were my favorite part of the eggs Benedict, which we could sub with avocado instead of meat to make it vegetarian. They definitely could've used some more seasoning. The pancakes were good with maple syrup- I think the fruit topping was delicious. The pancakes themselves were a little on the drier side but the fruit made them tastier. The ambiance and vibe of the restaurant definitely made the experience worth it.

I enjoyed the "matcha mood" with strawberry syrup. Delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness amd hint of vanilla. Listen, everybody doesn't get matcha right, but TMA hit the mark!

Everything else was good as well. I didnt really enjoy the sausage. It had a weird texture and flavor that I just didn't like. Also they have a DJ which is nice and while I liked the song selections, I felt that the sound was too loud (for me). Only reasons I knocked off a star.

That's clearly the vibe they're going for, but you should know ahead. A bit funny that part of the restaurant theme is curing a hangover from the night before when they have music at club volume, but whatever. And the DJ wasn't just putting music on shuffle either or just playing old hits, so at least there was effort. I split with someone else and tried the smoked salmon eggs benedict which had hollandaise with beet mixed in (hence the colour). It was really good and my only regret is waiting a few minutes to try it since I started with the pancakes first (more on that), but it meant the egg cooled down. But that's on me. I liked the hashbrowns too and the house salad. The pancakes with blueberry compote and lemon ricotta were amazing. Loved the texture, the quality and lightness of the ricotta and I always love lemon with blueberries. Will definitely get this again. Just keep in mind with the music (at least on Saturdays) this place really isn't suited for families - whether that be younger children (and music was fully explicit) or parents/grandparents either.
