Fried chicken & waffles

Great fast service, friendly staff and delicious food. Big portions. The restaurant was fully booked but i was lucky to get a table someone cancelled last minute. I ordered the fried chicken and waffles, the chicken was still very hot but very tasty, i could have added a side salad or fries too but next time.

After hearing about School for YEARS, I was finally able to come here yesterday. We made reservations before coming, so we didn't need to wait long for a table. I wanted to try their chicken & waffles as it's always been noted as a staple on their menu. However, I saw their hasbrown poutine and could not resist! It is SO GOOD. The flavours remind me of a homey Thanksgiving meal. I would get this again hands down. Definitely recommend! The only reason I'm giving it 4/5 stars is because their menu is quite pricey.

I recently visited this restaurant and while it was a great place to catch up with friends, there were a few things that left me wanting more. The decor inside was interesting - a wall full of clocks set to a specific time (if I remember right, I think it was 3 o'clock?). Anyhow, the tables were set apart far enough that you could comfortably sit and have a conversation without anyone eavesdropping. it was the weekend so we were able to get an item only exclusively available on the weekend. We got the Black n' Blue Flapjacks - basically a stack of pancakes with black and blueberry sauce, maple syrup, brown sugar butter and whip cream. It was crispy on the outside and paired with the fruit, maple syrup and brown sugar butter, was sweet and hit the right spot. It was a bit thin and not as fluffy as compared to Japanese-style pancakes, but still delicious. We also got the Golden Hashbrown Poutine with an extra side of Fried Chicken (3 pieces) - this was the star of the show. The poutine was cheesy and with the fried chicken, gave it that extra kick of protein and saltiness that it needed. I would highly recommend getting this! One downside was that I was seated 20 minutes later than my reservation time, which was a bit disappointing. Even though we were seated late, it felt like we were being "hovered on" - staff were clearly in a rush to clear out tables and we were hurried out towards the end. Overall, the food was solid but it doesn't quite live up to the hype. Perhaps a better time to go would be in an off-hour on the weekends or on a weekday.

Blueberry flapjack pancakes were a delight and loaded with blueberries that won't leave your taste buds. We got the classic chicken and waffles. Loved the sweet and spicy seasoning on chicken which was juicy and tender but did find bit over salty . Also in house sweet/spicy sauce Reason for 4 star rating because we waited for over 30 minutes to serve food . Service wasn't up to the bar compare to food which we highly recommend.

Chicken and waffles
NyAshia J.

Food was delicious. Service was very good we were a bit indecisive when ordering server was patient and kind throughout the process offering suggestions and questions to clarify. Portions are large in my opinion got two plates to share and we were both full. Chicken was well seasoned and crispy. If you aren't a fan of sweets I would go with something other than the French toast as it's fairly sweet but not over powering

Stopped by during a trip to Toronto. The service was great and food came out in a timely manner. I had an iced vanilla latte, which was good and did not water down quickly so the flavor was strong (if you are an iced coffee drinker you know). The biscuits were good and had a little kick to them. The chicken and waffles were decent. I was disappointed, however, because while the coating of the chicken had a lot of seasoning, the chicken itself did not have any.

Hot chocolate

I was very lucky that my friends decided to brave the 30 minute line up before I arrived. The long weekend brunch line has always been a deterrent. Once inside however it was quite cozy with a cute aesthetic. Everything felt classic about this place - including Everybody Love Raymond playing on a TV. Music was loud enough to share Saturday night debauchery amongst friends. I shared the Synonym French Toast with my friend. The actual French Toast was not my favourite, but the toppings were good. The toast was a little too doe-y for me. I also had the hot chocolate - which was delicious :) Servers were really kind. This is not somewhere I'd wait outside for 30 minutes in winter for, but the rest of the year, for sure!

Chicken and Waffles (top) and Synonym Toast (bottom)

Let's start with the good stuff... Creativity (5/5): they serve you juice in lab beakers, that should tell you enough. Service (4/5): efficient, and the waitress kindly told me not to eat the apple on the table. And end with the not so good stuff... Food (2.5): was very underwhelmed, the chicken and waffles were small and too plain (you can get a more delicious and substantial serving from Cluck Clucks for $10 less). The Synonym Toast was pretty good, though a bit dry in the centre. The drinks we tried (Mango Tangerine and Peach Mint Lemonade) were average. Also be prepared to wait for a good 15+ minutes to be seated (more on weekends).

Finally trying for years to get a seat here, finally made it waited 1 min to get a seat. Be prepared for long line ups for brunch on the weekend. Once inside there's a very small space to line up, the space is open that the kitchen is visible. You can see them cooking right there. The interior is filled with various school related statement pieces like books as lamp shades, apples on each table, letters etc. The menu was one page, you get option for savoury and Sweet. We opted to try crispy French Toast & Golden Hashbrown Poutine. The crispy French Toast was delicious, the peach and raspberry compote is what makes this extra delicious. For sweet lovers. The Hashbrown poutine on the other hand was a bit of a disappointment, the flavours were bland, the consistency of the mashed potatoes with runny eggs wasn't for me unfortunately. The vanilla and maple latte were delicious! The service was great, we were in and out within an hour.

Cheesy French toast
Carly R.

A good find during our brief trip to Toronto. The wait was not bad for having no reservations and the staff was super friendly. I don't think I've ever experienced such fluffy, huge pancakes. I also recommend getting their bacon on the side!

The food and service at School was 10/10. I enjoyed a delicious brunch and carafe. The cheesy French toast was amazing and other worldly. Everything was super fresh and delicious.

Chamomile tea

This is a super cute school themed restaurant (as is the name) but they've gone above and beyond with the decor! My boyfriend's mango juice thing was served in a glass beaker. How cute is that?? The spinach dip was bomb, my boyfriend's savory French toast was really good, and my chicken and waffles were super tasty especially with the brown sugar butter and maple syrup they came with! The server was really nice and friendly too.

Erika L.

Super cute restaurant located in the Liberty Village area, came here for lunch with a friend and loved it! They try to mimic a school and thought the theme was super cute. They serve brunch and lunch even on weekdays and all of the food was very generous in portion and so delicious. We were here during lunch and got served food really quickly. Would definitely come back!

The food was absolutely delicious fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and the drinks were equally impressive.

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.

Neither did the eggs. It's like they figured out how to get the look and texture but gave up there. I couldn't eat them. And the bacon was also awful. It smelled like a bag of dog treats. I've had phenomenal vegan bacon at many places but whatever this was, was not good at all. Overall, it was very expensive and very disappointing.
