    Cute interior, decent foods, our waitress was friendly and attentive, food came a bit slow since we came during the rush hour, we didn't mind at all, enjoyed the slow paced, chill, brunch vibe!

    Grand slam breakfast

    This is one of the best brunch places ever. Great food. Generous portions. Great service. Amazing and well maintained booths. Reasonable prices. New vegan menu. If you haven't been there in a while I strongly recommend giving them a try as they have upgraded their vegan items especially the Reuben. New items were added as well. Overall amazing keep up the good work.

    I cannoy accept this rating! First of all, this place is beautiful. So nice and feminine. Great for brunches. The service is great and attentive. I have been here twice and have enjoyed the experience both times. The food is good. Nothing amazing but delicious nonetheless. I think this will continue to be a meet up place for me and my friends.

    Book club.. meal Location: nice parking with lots of other things near bye. Very small compared to the one down town. If you come near meals you get on a wait list. They should really look at another location cause they have the custom but most don't want to wait to sit.. Food: it was ok mine was a bit cold the others look great but no butter on the toast. Staff: very nice and welcoming.

    Had brunch here a few Thursday's ago and it was nice! Pretty closeby to where we were staying during my Toronto trip and I loved that they offer healthier versions of typical brunch dishes, but also nutella waffles if you're feeling indulgent. Even though I'm not vegan and didn't order any vegan items, I was impressed by the vegan menu here - it's pretty extensive. There's a bit of everything for everyone! I decided to be on the healthier side and got the Smart Heart Breakfast w/ poached eggs, smoked salmon and the house salad. Love the balance of light carbs (toast), greens and protein - this is actually so hard to find at most brunch spots. It's usually either granola/yogurt or a fried chicken & waffles, with no in-between. There was a slight mishap, however, where I got a fried egg instead of the poached that I asked for but it was quickly resolved - they let us keep the fried egg and immediately brought out the correct eggs. Everything was delicious! I also had the maple latte since it seemed v Canadian and different and it was also so good. Definitely on the sweeter side but not overbearingly so.

    I came on a Sunday for brunch after an appointment with my boyfriend and met up with some friends in the area to eat here. It was quite busy but luckily there was a table for 4 outside. We ordered the salmon Benny and steak and eggs. Both were decent dishes, however it was on the pricier side as it was $18-22 per dish. It was definitely bigger portions and the taste was not bad. I don't think any place can screw up eggs and toast. We also got coffee and our server was pretty attentive to check up on us to see if we needed anything. Overall, decent brunch place if your in the area.

    After seeing a lot of Instagram posts about this place I decided to check this place out for my birthday. My partner and I came here Sunday morning before 10am and the place was rather empty which was great! The hostess told us we could sit anywhere and I decided to sit by the corner booth for two near the window. The place is super cute and picture worthy. My first issue was how poorly the service was, mainly the server that was handling my table to the service in general. After sitting down we look over the online menu and I guess being in a corner isn't the best seating choice but I figure I wasn't gonna be rude and take up a table meant for four people. So flagging down a server was pretty difficult and when I did flag someone down, turns out she wasn't in charge of my section and I had to wait for our actual server. Her actions of initial acknowledgement were non exisiting, she took our order down and that was that what a major turn off. When our food arrived, I had to ask for cutlery and water while everyone else around me being seated with different servers were on point with water to start and Cutlery smh. We got the fluffy pancakes with compote to share, my partner got the mushroom omelette with seasoned potatoes and salad while I got the eggs benny with seasoned poatoes and salad. The potatoes were delicious, probably the only thing that tasted great as they were super crispy. The salad was citrus and refreshing but nothing too special. The poached eggs were nice. The pancakes were fluffy and compote was alright, a bit bland but I get that's why there was syrup on the side to balance. The omelette was so dry, pretty overcooked and I almost choked on it as it got stuck half way down my system so definitely not recommended. Food wise and presentation I thought it looked pretty with the edible flowers and the pancakes were pretty colorful. Our server did check up on us twice, once to ask us how our food was and two to ask if we needed a refill on coffee after that she disappeared. The place did pick up and started getting real busy so I could understand why she was running around. Getting the bill was probably more difficult than anything I've experienced, trying to look for our server who was non existing was even harder. At one point I lost my patience and tried to flag down someone who acknowledged that I wanted my bill but then went on to take down orders for her section, put down food, etc. I get it, it's not her section but honestly by the time my server got here I was already fed up and totally done with this place. I didn't understand why there were over 10 staff just roaming around and not actually doing anything productive. Nobody took the initiative to help each other out, everyone seemed to be fending for themselves. Most of them looked like they were being forced to work against their will lmao. It was overpriced and I don't mind paying for overpriced brunch but at least it's gotta taste good and not try to kill me lol.

    We came here for the first time on a Sunday morning for brunch. The resto was packed but luckily a table opened up and we got a good spot inside the resto. The host was very friendly. The patio is also available if you prefer to be outdoors. We ordered the freshly squeezed orange juice and that was ok. My hubby had the coffee and it was bottomless. The food was really good. Very good flavour and the eggs Benny looked so pretty. The portions were generous.l and the food was hot which we like. Wile will definitely be back!

    Evviva is a chain restaurant serving breakfast and lunch where they have multiple locations across the city. Their newest location is in North York near Yonge/Empress. Over the weekends, they do not take reservations for brunch or lunch. They have an extensive vegan brunch menu as well as brunch classics. My party of 4 and I dined at Evviva on a Saturday during a long weekend recently. We arrived at the restaurant around 12:30 to the bustling space and was put on the waitlist for a table (the restaurant texts you once your table is ready). We waited about half an hour for our table. The restaurant was extremely busy during our time there. Service was a bit slow but we understood that the staff were extremely busy with the volume of customers. Our server was friendly and did her best with how busy she. Food wise, my party and I ordered the following: - Vegan slam platter (opted for the tofu scramble) - Chicken and waffles - Breakfast sandwich - Bacon, sausage, ham, and eggs (added pancakes) - Drinks included freshly squeezed orange juice, matcha latte, and kombucha. Food portions were large! I had the vegan slam platter and I was not able to finish everything. The cripsy soy bacon and beyond meat patty were delicious alongside the tofu scramble. My dish also came with your choice of toast as well as green and home fries. I had a bite of the pancakes as well which were made well. Overall, a cozy vibe and big portions. A nice addition to the area!

    I love this place! Was so excited when it opened it. I was so eager that there was a day when I walked (barged) into the place and startled some construction workers since they place wasn't open but I thought it was. My go-to is the salmon egg bennies. It is packed with flavour, the home fries do not dissappoint and the salad is proper. My friend got the chicken and waffles and expected it to be closer to southern comfort food but it is more sweet than savory when consisdering the gravy/topping since it only comes with syrup on the side. Today I decided to not get the bennies (which I have now enjoyed on 4 previous ocassions haha) adn got the beyond burger which was shockingly large and delish. It comes with 2 onion rings inside, vegan bacon, pickles, and all the works. You can get yam fries with it at no extra cost. Coffee is bottomless and wished the one they brewed in the post was just a tad bit stronger. The decor is beautiful. I wanted to also highlight HOW AMAZING THE STAFFF and MANAGER are. Today they were short staffed and only 1 server waiting on a nearly full restaurant. She was doing such a fantastic job (lady with short light hair and tattoo sleeve - you are superwoman) and the manager came by to check on my friend and I. Apart from today, on the busiest fully staffed weekend they seat guests rather quickly and every other server I have been helped by is just so attentive and I think I love them haha. I have been there almost every week since they opened - my friends have contemplated staging an intervention LOL

    Interior

    Cute decor, perfect for a girls' day brunch, but the service is a bit lacking. When we came in, we were greeted by a server that simply pointed to a general area of the restaurant to sit. Upon sitting down, a server came up to us and asked if we were ready to order, which we obviously weren't, so we said to give us 5 min to look at the menu. Selection is very wide, every brunch item you can think of. When it came to flagging down another server to take our order, we had an awkward experience where one server saw us and signaled to another to take our order. The other server came to us and seemed to have a problem with the iPad they use to take orders, but instead of saying something to us, she was silent the whole time she walked up to us, turned her back to us to fumble with the iPad, stood with her back turned for a legit 5 mins awkwardly, and then left to get another iPad. When she came back, she also didn't say anything, but simply stared at us as if we were supposed to know what to do. So we said our order, she confirmed by reading it back to us, then left. It was definitely an awkward experience. We ordered the Atlantic Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and the Chicken Mozzarella Pesto sandwich. The eggs Bennie were awesome, there was a generous slice of smoked salmon that wasn't overly salty. The salad, however, was weirdly salty... The potatoes were okay, not particularly good but not bad either. The ciabatta bun on the sandwich was unusually hard, but the chicken was tender and pesto filling was lovely. The sandwich was definitely a mixed bag. Overall, service is pretty bare bones and honestly a bit lacking for this type of restaurant vibe. There are SO many staff, but they all seem reluctant to talk to you unless you're ordering or getting the bill. When interacting with them, it sort of feels like they all don't like working there--they don't even seem to like working with each other, which is super weird... The food is kind of pricy for what it is, but you'll get some nice IG-worth pics while you're there at least.

    Got the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and the portions was pretty small. It was a good dish but for the price, I wouldn't order this again and probably try something else. The pancakes and French toast seemed pretty good and was a good portion. The interior has nice photo ops and great staff.

The only reason for the 4 star review is that the ambiance is lacking and far more of a takeout place than a sit down, with plastic cutlery being used for dine-in.

    If you're GF Not Worth Jumping Through the Hoops…read more When I found this place online, I was so excited. When one must follow a gluten-free diet, it is so nice to find places where you can eat what everyone else gets to enjoy. This was anything but enjoyable. I was planning a little Halloween getaway to Kingston and searching for a new and exciting breakfast place to stop on my way there. I found Heaffles and read through their website--I'm always very careful and vet my restaurants before the trip and plan food meticulously, you have to when you cannot eat gluten. The site stated that if you want a gluten free waffle, you must call 24 hours ahead of time. I immediately thought that was ridiculous (that eliminates any possibility of a GF person walk-in from eating there) but messaged them on Instagram. I asked if I could message then and schedule or did a I have to call. They told me I must call the day before. Pain in the bum, but I set a reminder in my phone and did so. The next day, I show up. Such a cute place and the breakfast that kicks off a trip always makes me so happy. We don't eat out much at all, living so rurally. It had also been ages since I'd enjoyed a GF waffle, so excitement was high. This place has a ton of potential. The seating is cute, the bathrooms clean and so beautifully decorated. There is even a little cubby with cushions that would make it feel as though one was having breakfast in bed. I really did fall in love with the space. There didn't appear to me to be a traditional server comes to your table. You walk in and place your order at the counter. I ordered a Flat White to drink along with a water and a gluten-free coconut rush. The young lady at the counter was very quick to tell me that they had a customer coming in to get a GF waffle and that they only had enough batter for one waffle and that I would need to try again and call 24 hours beforehand. Right before I told her I was that customer, my brain was like, what? You have enough batter for ONE waffle??? I make GF stuff all the time. It is NOT that expensive. And what if you mess up that ONE waffle (and they did because she didn't listen to me)? I said, "Oh, I called yesterday." And I had driven a very long way. I would hate for anyone else to do that and end up disappointed. After that, I was allowed to order my waffle. Coconut is my favourite sweet flavour, but it came with strawberries and strawberry syrup. I told her THREE times I didn't want the strawberries or the syrup. Strawberry jam, jelly syrup...I hate them all, also cannot stand cooked fruit. She told me she could put the strawberries on the side and that they were uncooked. I said that was okay, but reiterated AGAIN that I do not want or like the strawberry syrup. I thought I might get my drinks at the counter, but she said they would bring everything to my table. I sat within view of the counter by the window. I assumed, as at most places, the drinks would come out first. I had started on the Terra Health heartburn kit to kick my PPI script and needed to take the supplements before eating. Some ladies came in after me and they got their drink order while I sat and waited. The waffle came out, and I was too panicked by not taking my supplements to pay that much attention and told them I needed some water and that I didn't have my coffee yet. They came back in a few minutes and in the meantime, I saw that the waffle I'd paid nearly $30 for, along with a very tiny flat white coffee, was drenched...every inch in yucky strawberry syrup. I'm a silver lining kind of girl, so I told myself to try it, maybe my tastes have changed. Nope. It was this strong, chemically strawberry flavour that made me gag. Talk about disappointed. At this point it was late in the morning and I was starving. I opened up the waffle (the size, even if they'd managed to listen to my order was not worth what I paid) and ate some of the filling out. The only waffle that had no nasty syrup was at the fold and I ate the four bites I could. The coffee was literally 3 swallows. I left hungry and angry. And in all that time, no one ever came back to ask me how the order was...and I knew I couldn't send it back because that was their ONE GF waffle batter of the day. I had to stop at Wendy's and spend another $10 for a bunless burger after. I would never go back. The ask and not having the batter available is beyond RIDICULOUS, despite the fact they don't listen, which makes a GF person VERY nervous. You couldn't pay me to eat there again. Poor service, poor value and food I couldn't stomach. Not for me.

Wish I knew more about beans, but just from the way they explained calibration and how ambient weather affects the espresso, I felt like I was in good hands. I even several times skipped morning coffee at home to have my first cup here. They try to reflect your energy too, so if you seem like you just want caffeine, they are efficient, but if you initiate conversation, they return the favor. The coffee art is on point, and I even learned about which apparatus and method are easier for amateurs. They never hurried me, which I really appreciate. Great space for reading a book, meeting up with friends, or work session.

The soups tastes like miso soup that you would buy from the store, very salty. All the seafood are very fishy tasting. Everything is drenched in either a spicy sauce or teriyaki sauce. The taiyaki was crispy on the outside and filled with red bean paste which would taste better if it were a tad bit sweeter. I did enjoy the Bulgogi, Kim-Mari and the spicy ketchup based sauce. There was no line up when we went, staff is friendly but there is a definite language barrier; I had to repeat my orders a number of times. My food was barely warm, maybe it's better during the rush hours. The soups, however, were piping hot! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. If I was in the area, had only a few coins in my pocket (items range from $1.25-$5), and was hangry, I would stop by again.
