    Double Americanos
    Culinary S.

    Junction Grill has been on our radar ever since we moved to The Junction in January, so when patios re-opened we jumped at the opportunity to enjoy an outside brunch on a perfect June day. We're happy to report that all of our expectations were met, and exceeded, on this visit. First, a word about service. The patio was super busy (Toronto's pent up demand for restaurant dining - even outside - was evident) so the front-of-house folks were running hard - in some cases literally - to keep up. But keep up they did, all with good humour and excellent Covid-19 protocols well in hand. Once we had our superb double Americanos in hand we scanned the menu. To be honest, we struggled a bit to choose because everything on the menu looks so damn good! We were leaning towards breakfast tacos and/or burritos - or dinnertime versions of those favourites - but in the end decided to go for a couple of their omelettes. We had the Portuguese omelette (with an extra side of superb grilled chorizo sausage) and the vegetarian omelette with a humongous (as in we took a LOT home for another meal humongous) side of mouth wateringly delicious grilled veggies. Each omelette came with a small side salad, and a nicely toasted piece of Portuguese bread. Both platters were delicious and left us completely stuffed and content at the end of the meal. As for value-for-money, we enjoyed two generous omelettes, two delicious additional sides, and two very generous Americanos for a total of $47 (inclusive of HST and tip) - fantastic value for really delicious food, great service and a comfy, neighbourhood vibe. We're definitely going to be Junction Grill regulars so we can try the rest of their menu. Highly recommended.

    We actually made reservations for our first time here as it was Mother's Day and we wanted to ensure a table. We arrived early and to our surprise, we were seated as though a reservation never happened...our server seemed shocked when we said we had one. Luckily there was a spare table for two during the peak lunch hour. Unfortunately, we had a RIDICULOUS experience and we did not even get a chance to dine in. We WAITED FOR ONE HOUR and we still did not get our food. A table beside us came after us and had their food before us. This, despite a proper reservation and having a baby in tow. My husband was on the brink of an explosion. We calmly contained ourselves, walked up to the counter and asked for our food to-go. We asked why we waited for one hour yet our food was not ready; and why other customers who came after us were served before us (we saw several tables in the back had also received their food before us). We were given very poor excuses about how things had transpired, how they had no idea what had happened. This was perhaps one of the worst service experiences we've had. We live in the neighbourhood, had high hopes for this eatery (because of all the glowing Google reviews) and really wanted to enjoy ourselves but WILL NEVER patronize them again. Our take-out ended up being offered on the house and while a nice gesture for all our grief and frustration, the experience was utterly unsalvageable. The photo shows our lacklustre order (waffles and fruit, Brazilian omelette), what we had waited one hour for.... we are fans of brunch fare and wow, how utterly underwhelming it was. Overall, I would give 0.5/5 stars if I could. A few recommendations I'd like to offer management: * Treat your dine-in customers with the same priority as your takeout customers. Yes, I understand cranking out takeout orders is important but it is unfair to only serve your dine-in customers ONLY after the takeout line is cleared. This is exactly what happened. The two tables beside us got their food once the takeout frenzy was done. We never did. * If takeout is king, then don't offer tables and just make it a takeout eatery. * Train staff to update customers if there is to be an unreasonable wait for food. We were told several times that our 'food was coming.' Only when we complained at the counter upon leaving were we told that the waffle machine had broken down, hence my order never came. Not sure how convenient this was, as a table beside us happily enjoyed their waffles. If I had known that was apparently the case, I would have ordered something else instead of waiting on something that would never come. * Basics such as offering water and checking in with customers are non-negotiable. We luckily ordered smoothies and therefore had something to drink. Our only check-ins were to falsely reassure us that our food was 'coming.' It never came. * Hire more staff, especially for peak periods. Servers and cooks can only do so much.

    I love the fusion flavourd they use here! I've actually been here twice, one for the parfait, and…read moreone for the crepe cake. Parfait: I got two different flavours of ice cream, black sesame and thai ice cream. They were both really smooth and delicious. I love that they have asian flavours here! The crunch of the cornflakes, freshness or the fruits, and creaminess of the ice cream went really well together. I would recommend this over the crepes to be honest, my friends got the crepes but found it really hard to eat them without spilling. Crepe cake: while this is good, I found it difficult to eat. When trying to use my fork to eat it like a normal cake, there crepe layers slipped and slid against each other. It kind of came apart as I ate it. It was still nice to experience what it tasted like for the first time, though I don't think I would get this item specifically again. Overall I think Millie's has great menu items and I would go back again! Note that it is quite small, so best to only go in small groups of 2-3.

    This place is really basic in terms of interior. More of a buy and go place. However, they do have…read more3 tiny tables that will fit 2 people each as well as some chairs outside on the sidewalk. I wasn't sure if I should try it or not but glad I did. Its so good! I got the matcha crepe cake and found it really nice, light and fluffy. It is a bit pricey though, so I would only get this if I am planning to indulge in a splurge. They also had Earl Grey which looked interesting too. I went with a friend on a Saturday afternoon, and it wasn't busy at all. However, probably 15 mins later a whole crowd of people came in and all the cake sold out within minutes. lol. So it might also depend on timing for getting a cake. Overall, I would recommend if you are okay with the price and I would return if I am in the area.
