Udon Carbonara, Pork Katsu sandwich, and Hojicha Latte
Vivian Y.

I came across this cafe literally while in the street car I was in passed by it, and immediately wanted to try it out, since I didn't know where to go for lunch with my friend. Best impulse decision LOL; I loved the udon carbonara I had gotten; the sauce was a bit more on the creamier side, but the flavor was perfectly balanced. The Hojicha latte I had gotten was suuper good, and if you like your lattes sweet, you'll def enjoy this.

Came here on a weekend morning for brunch and we each ordered the chicken katsu sando. The sando came with a side of fries. It was a generous portion! Ended up saving half to take home. Got the matcha ube latte which unfortunately didn't taste that great. Would come back to try the other items on the menu though.

Came here as a group of 2 on a weekend at around 11am and was lucky enough to be seated right away! My friend and I got the karaage and waffles and salmon eggs Benny to share. We also got a matcha latte and hojicha latte for our drinks. Out of the two entrees, my favorite was the karaage and waffles. The karaage was big and juicy and the waffles were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The salmon eggs Benny was good too but I just thought it was on the more simple side and the karaage and waffles was more special. Both of the drinks were also great and they definitely did not skimp on their matcha and hojicha powder! Highly recommend this place! The space is quite small though so if you have a big group, make sure you come early!

I had their chicken katsu and it was DELICOUS! Great portion of the sandwich itself and the fries. The sandwich had such a thick cut of the katsu, perhaps even thicker than the bread holding it. The slaw was delicious with the shredded carrots. The fries were stringy and crispy, my ideal way of enjoying french fries. The salad was equally as good. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and can easily say that this is one of my top brunch places. I wish this place was opened till later though haha :D

Chicken Katsu Sando.

After an attempt to eat at a nearby restaurant was foiled, we found ourselves in search of a new brunch spot. We happened upon Ohiru Cafe and somehow managed to snag one of the last free tables (by the window no less!) The menu was full of intriguing items but I eventually opted for the Chicken Katsu Sando ("Crispy Chicken Cutlet, Scallion Aioli, Cabbage Slaw"), as I've always enjoyed that dish and was interested to see how it would translate to sandwich form. Pretty well, it turns out. Although I can't say it reminded me much of a traditional chicken katsu dish, I quite enjoyed this concoction. The fried chicken, while a little too crispy, was prepared well and the aioli gave it a good amount of flavor. The soft, tasty bread perfectly tied the whole thing together, and the included fries and salad made for a perfect complement. Ohiru Cafe is a very cute little spot that I'm sure I'll return to, since their menu contained a bunch of other promising-sounding items.

I've had brunch at Ohiru a few times now, and it's always such a solid experience. Cozy space, warm service, and consistently good. Everything feels fresh, balanced, and well made. A great go-to spot for Japanese inspired brunch on College.

Pretty disappointed by our service experience here today. We were all so excited to try the food and after we got seated we noticed two tables that were seated after us got their drinks before we even placed our order. Once we did place our order our drinks took another 30 minutes while the tables around us got their food. The carbonara was so unbelievably bland. I would have returned it but we were hungry and had been waiting for close to an hour for our food at this point. Thankfully not everything was a bust. The karage and waffles was really good. The miso syrup was excellent and the karage was crispy and cooked really well. My matcha latte arrived toward the end of the meal and was excellent.

okinawa brown sugar matcha latte and maple miso hojicha latte

visited toronto and this place is probably one for the books! it's a cute lil japanese brunch cafe that serves the most delicious food and beverages! during this visit, i tried their karaage & waffles, okinawa brown sugar matcha latte, and maple miso hojicha latte. the karaage was cooked to the perfect crispiness, the waffles were nice and fluffy, and the provided miso syrup was sweet with a subtle miso taste! both the drinks i tried were also delicious! the matcha latte has a strong matcha taste and the hojicha latte was a combination that i never wouldve thought worked together!

Shrimp pasta
Jason C.

One of my favourite brunch spots in Toronto. It's Japanese fusion and they do it so well. The food is always delicious and flavourful. I love their hojicha latte and it's made perfectly. A few other highlights are: - creamy udon - chicken waffle - chashu benny The restaurant is small and there's not much space to wait. On weekends it can get really busy and wait can be up to 30 min to an hour. They don't take reservations either.

Finally made it to this café I'd been wanting to check out for a while, and there were a few surprises! First, it was smaller than I expected. Second, the food was better than I anticipated. I went with the new Manchi Katsu Sando and a Matcha Kyoto Soy Latte. The sando portions were great, the bread was excellent, and the fries were a pleasant surprise--super tasty! My only gripe was the "cutlet," which turned out to be a ground meat patty rather than an actual cutlet. If I'd known, I probably would've tried one of the other two cutlet options. The matcha drink was decent, and I got to sample the karaage and mushroom pasta--both seemed pretty solid. Our server was awesome! He even mentioned that if we tagged the café in a photo, they'd comp a dessert for us. We went with a lemon/blueberry cheesecake (I think?). It wasn't totally my thing, but hey, free dessert is free dessert, right? I had my eye on the French toast, but by the end, I was way too full. Guess I'll have to save that for next time!

Kyoto matcha latte (only comes cold) & hojicha latte
Kateri

Really nice brunch spot! The food was amazing and the portions were huge. You have to get the katsu sandwich, there was so much chicken. I love that the bread was buttered, the chicken was crispy yet juicy and it came with a bit of a kick form the sauce. The fires were also very well season and had some seaweed flavoring to it which was good. The carbonara udon was also cooked very well, the pork was season nicely. The sauce was really creamy. The drinks were got were also very tasty, we got the Kyoto matcha latte (cold only) and Hojicha latte. The cafe is very very small and they don't allow reservations on the weekends so wait times can be very long. As it is first come first serve, we waited around 40 minutes but the people ahead of us waited an hour before they got seated. Service was pretty good and our food came out quickly. There was a bit of miscommunication on drinks but other than that we really enjoyed it.

Chicken katsu sando
Alex H.

Will definitely be coming back here! The servers were all very nice & friendly! The chicken katsu sando was awesome and topped with what tasted like a yuzu mayonnaise. Absolutely delicious! As the weather was still nice outside, we sat on the patio right on college st which was perfectly shaded for the meal.

One of the best brunches I've ever had in Toronto. This is a small restaurant so there is a iPad with the waiting list you need to sign up for when you arrive. Keep in mind that each person must order a minimum of one main. The restaurant is very busy on weekends and they don't take reservations on weekends. The menu consists of Japanese fusion breakfast and lunch dishes. We got the chicken and waffles, eggs Benedict, in katsu sando. In summary, every single component of each dish was well seasoned and tasted amazing. Even the fries and salad which were included. Our food came quickly and the servers were pretty attentive. Portions are very generous (we had leftovers ) and prices are reasonable for the quality. The washrooms are inaccessible, downstairs. Overall it is worth the hype. I highly recommend coming here for brunch or breakfast.

Pierina guided us via phone and even came outside of the restaurant and waved as we approached. That was awesome Customer service as well as kindness. Ambiance was chill inside. Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

This cafe is small and while I was there it was definitely a tight squeeze. Where you order and where you pick up your drink isn't designed to allow for a good flow for customers, aside from that, I have no complaints. I ordered a latte and grabbed two goodies for the road, a raspberry croissant and a ginger molasses cookie. The staff working were welcoming and friendly and my items were ready rather quickly. Once I got back to my hotel, I settled in to enjoy and get some work done. My latte was smooth and creamy and just what I needed to get my day started. My raspberry croissant was beautiful and packed full of flavor. The filling wasn't too sweet and there was just the right amount inside. I saved my cookie for a snack while I traveled home later that day. I love how it had chunks of sugared ginger on top. The cookie had the perfect amount ​of chew to it and the ginger on top added an extra burst of ginger. It was lovely. I'm so glad I found this cafe on Yelp and I highly suggest you pay them a visit. I'm still dreaming of all the pastries I didn't get to try.

A quick Yelp check pointed me to this spot a brisk eight-minute walk from Queen Station on Yonge, and I'm so glad I made the detour instead of heading to one of my usual haunts. I was seated immediately. The place has lots of seating -- high tops, tables and booths -- and a cool, eclectic vibe: comfy chairs, interesting wall photos, eggshell light fixtures and cheerful yolk‑yellow and orange tones. Big glass windows make it a fun people‑watching spot, and the open kitchen lets you see the cooks hustling away. I ordered the classic breakfast (just over $18): two scrambled eggs -- soft and perfect -- plus herb potatoes fried in beef tallow (I swapped those for lightly dressed artisan greens). You choose your protein -- bacon, Canadian bacon, rosemary ham, chicken, or pork bangers -- and I went with the hardwood‑smoked bacon: three perfectly cooked slices. Coffee was ethically sourced, and my mochaccino hit the sweet spot -- not too sugary. All in all 10 out of 10. I plan to try their gluten free waffle next time. Extras worth noting: they offer booze, smoothies, juices, and a $4.75 "coffee bump" (1 oz of Irish cream, Kahlúa, whiskey, bourbon, brandy, or Grand Marnier). Eggs are free‑run. Service was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable -- got me in and out without feeling rushed, back at my desk before 1 pm. I'll definitely be back -- next time with friends so I have an excuse to order everything on the menu. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a well‑made, comforting breakfast-anytime (and possibly a legal excuse for a midday coffee bump).

But something for everyone. The service wasn't exactly with a smile-- I get it, you're busy, it's a lot.

And make sure you get ahead of the crowd at the door, because it was a bit chaotic, and people who were waiting at the door didn't even realize there was a waitlist. The waitlist was easy - host took our name and phone number - and texted when the table was ready. Food was delicious and although the prices seemed high, the portions were actually very big. I had the "I'll have it all" - and this was a perfect mix of everything, but I couldn't finish it! My boyfriend got pancakes - same for him - he couldn't finish it because it was so rich! I'd definitely go back for the food - but would share dishes instead. The only catch is that it was too fast paced for me. The server was super nice - but I didn't feel like I had time to really order the right things and ask questions. So I'll go back for sure, but maybe when the heat dies down.
