As usual, food was very good!! Service was a little slow and the Server is very new. Ambiance still sort of somber with very few looking happy. Server did not smile at all and appeared scared. The only one who smiled and was socialable, pleasant and make you want to come back was Kiera. An excellent server and truly cares about you. Thank you Kiera for making my day. I hope to see her there again. PS. The Mgr. Zoe is Not talking to me now?! Lol most unprofessional and immature to be in that position. Sad. read more

Randomly stopped here for breakfast and ended up eating here two days in a row it was so good!! Really interesting menu with a lot of choices, and the food was very fresh and delicious. Ps try the shakshuka! read more

A fairly good breakfast, but a somewhat sterile atmosphere. The service was adequate (rather than great). The chicken and waffles were good, the avocado toast was very good. The dining room is big with a high ceiling and a lot of tile ... it does not feel intimate, more industrial chic. In addition to the restaurant, they have a small sales section at the front ... this seems like a corporate chain, with prices and setting carefully calibrated to extract the most cash from patrons. There's nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't feel warm and welcoming. read more

Modern, chic breakfast spot that offers everything but ordinary breakfasts. The dishes are elevated, creative and delicious. I opted for a modern spin on poutine - El Camino was a bowl filled with roasted pork, crispy potatoes, micro-greens, pickled onions, topped with 2 perfectly cooked poached eggs and the most delicious and light version of hollandaise sauce. Incredible flavors. Truly a standout dish. My hubby had chicken and waffles. Yum! Coffee was bold, rich and satisfying. This place is hopping so there was a wait, but so worth it. Each dish is custom made so it takes a beat before your food arrives. read more

Initially went to this restaurant because they were one of the handful of places in the area that opened early. The food was fantastic! Both the waffle with bacon and the French toast trifle were amazing and big portions for what you pay. The coffee was yummy too. Our waitress, Yanet, was super nice and really attentive. She was awesome! Since we were on vacation, we were trying to check out different restaurants, however, since we were so impressed after the first breakfast, we had to return the next day. Absolutely, positively recommend OEB. Great food, great service! read more

First time visiting as I have walked by several times. Ordered the Montreal Smoked meat Benny with fruit. Great food, eggs cooked to perfection. The server Liza was attentive and Yanet the manager was friendly and I enjoyed my experience. Bright room in a central location. Will definitely be back, and highly recommend. Also appreciate that their philosophy. read more

Review Template === 1. VERDICT/VALUE Victoria has a lot of breakfast/brunch places to choose from; if you're looking for good food, friendly service, a clean/modern atmosphere and reasonable prices - OEB should be at the top of your list! My humble opinion: - OEB beats everyone on creative plate names :) - Blue Fox wins on food quality - OEB wins on space and atmosphere. - OEB, Jam, Shine, and Blue Fox are about equal for service. === 2. FOOD Double Trouble Crostini ($19): Bacon, cheese, and two eggs your way on crostini topped with greens (arugula primarily) - it's as easy and healthy as it sounds! Belgian Waffle ($15): Depending how you like your waffles - the one made here was crispy to the point of almost being like a crunchy cookie...? My tastebuds lean towards how Blue Fox and Shine make theirs... Scrambled Crepe ($18.50): Eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, and spinach - it looks small but packs a healthy punch! Coffee is $4; kids' ("Future Foodies" as they are known here) drinks are $2.50. The One That Did Not Get Away ($23): An eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and spinach - yum! Pitter Pancake (for kids - $11 incl. drink) Two smaller pancakes served with butter and maple syrup - nice and fluffy - nice for the little ones! Chasing Chickens Poutine ($19.75): This goodness: two packed eggs atop cheese curds, herb potatoes (half of which you can change for arugula), smoked chicken, all covered in brown butter hollandaise sauce - my heart loved it until it stopped beating. === 3. SERVICE Service has always been great - we seem to get Mari a fair amount and recommend her to everyone! Without a reservation on busy Sundays, we were also accommodated in short order thanks to their flexibility. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It is modern, open air-ish and with a lot of space - better than all other brunch places in town. Sure, it's packed but it's popular for a reason. Bring groups big and small with ease - wheelchairs and baby strollers are welcome too! Parking is the only drawback - you're hunting for paid street parking or a parking garage if you're coming to OEB! read more

This busy restaurant has wonderful food and great service. An OEB brunch is great option, Make a reservation.

Great options all around, esp for Gluten Free options. Wonderful service, clean and bright. My latte was delicious, and the mango juice was amazing. read more

Great place for breakfast or brunch! Service is great. And you can order for delivery.

Got a threesome breakfast. Tasty combination. Ended up getting a side of toast to help wrap up the eggs. Maybe over well might have been better. Staff are friendly and helpful and keep an eye out for you. I got slotted into a two hander but it hit a little busy. Good choice for grabbing breakfast. read more

The food was really good. My eggs Benny and pesto potatoes were some of the best I've had. The service and general vibe of the serving staff was some of the weirdest ive ever experienced. We were told that the wait was 30-40mins so we were added to the waitlist over an hour later we ask how much longer and were given a blank stare by the clearly overwhelmed hostess. The manager told us they were setting up our table and it was taking longer because they had to find a spot for the baby in our party. 15 mins later we asked again how much longer it would be because people with the same size party that joined the waitlist after us were being seated. We finally got seated and had to ask for a high chair so the comment about finding a spot for the baby clearly wasn't true. Our server wasn't wearing a bra (call me old fashioned but undergarments should be part of dress code) and didn't smile the entire time. When we looked around none of the servers were smiling. All the servers looked dismal and upset. Our server barely interacted with us. It was very robotic and bored feeling which was really off putting and made us feel as if we had done something wrong in asking about our extraordinary wait time. Luckily the food was really good. Pesto potatoes are amazing. Won't be back and wouldn't recommend to anyone wanting to come out of a restaurant feeling good. read more

Love this place we go every time we are visiting. We have tried almost all of the breakfast offerings and have never been disappointed. Love their mimosa flights! read more

Server was very nice but busy. Food arrived before our beverages ....then it got worse ! The crepes in one dish were so chewy they were hard to eat. The potatoes were very gooey and whatever sauce that was on the poutine tasted off,or maybe it was the lardons of bacon that were mostly fat with no meat. As a local Victorian I can think of many other breakfast places with great food and fresh ingredients and where you don't pay so very dearly for a fresh breakfast. I certainly will not be going back to this place. read more

We enjoyed our breakfast so much. The food was delicious and healthy. Lul T was a wonderful server and made our visit so pleasant. We will visit again. Thank you so much read more

Visiting from the States and stopped here for a quick bite. Absolutely delicious food and great customer service. We ordered the threesome (french scramble, chicken blueberry bangers, and waffle) and the chia pudding. All of it was soo yummy!! For drinks we had cappuccinos and smoothies, 10/10 recommend. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Victoria. read more

Loved their holy crab and their seafood stuff. Wish could have a sharper knife to cut the croissant though.

Visiting Victoria and I was so impressed by everything. The staff are amazing. They know the regular customers which is such a great thing in this world. The patio is dog friendly and again the staff adore the dogs who visit, at least as much as the people. The food was also delicious as always. It's always good to have a place where you get to know everyone read more

The food was wonderful, fresh and tasty, and our server, Yanet, was very friendly and provided excellent service. It was our first time eating at this chain, but I will definitely visit again. Great experience! read more

Wow what a letdown. I used to love this place it was my go to brunch spot. But after this i honestly dont know if i'll ever come back. First off, I ordered the burger and waffle fries. What I got was a tiny burger that and literally five waffle fries. Five. I counted. For what they charge, that's just insulting. To make things worse, after I sat down, one of the staff came over and asked me to move because the table next to me apparently didn't like where I was sitting. What? I was completely within my rights to be there, and it felt like I was being treated like an inconvenience instead of a customer. This place used to have charm and warmth. Now it just feels pretentious and cold soooo disappointing. read more

First time at OEB today and I will be back often. My new favorite breakfast/lunch/brunch location. Bright, open, warm ambiance, great staff and the menu is unique. From basic breakfast to decadent. The breakfast poutines are delicious and the perfect portion.... Plus... great coffee! Many breakfast restaurants fall short on coffee. There is so much on the menu that I can't wait to try. Great addition to the Victoria food scene. read more

Omg OEB ! It's deffo my fave breakfast and brunch place in Victoria.... perhaps anywhere...yes I think anywhere ever. Honestly ! Solidly delicious home cooked food with a massive amount of modern fusion flare. Yummmo lox or tuna on perfect potatoes and spinach/arugula and aco, topped with perfectly soft poached eggs. The staff are all gorgeous and gracious, and the space is fun, bright and huge, so you'll probably never be waiting outside to get in. Thanks for being so healthy and delicious read more

Brunch was veggie forward and delicious; I had a pesto Bennie with greens instead of potatoes. Next time I might try half and half. Yummy!

Visited Victoria and had two of our three brunches here. The french toast and bennie poutines were amazing. The waitstaff were so lovely and fun. read more

Food was quite good. The service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Love this place! the food, service, and ambiance were all on point! One member of our group has celiac and they totally worked around it - serving a benny on avocado at no extra charge! Always refreshing when restaurants take food allergies seriously. Way to go and thank you OEB! We will be back! read more
