Starving Artist is one of our go-to spots for breakfast in Markham. It's minutes from our house,…read moreand not only that we actually like the food. Although this is a busy brunch restaurant, the turnover happens fast, and we have never waited more than 30 minutes for a seat. Starving Artist has a wide array of coffees and teas as well as waffles and 'Bennies. We have tried quite a few of the drinks during our visits, and we have tried many of their signature dishes. The staff are great and always accommodating and very patient when my kids can't make up their minds about what they want to eat or drink. The servers have helped my kids on more than one occasion make up their minds. This is a great place for breakfast, brunch or even late afternoon coffee, and we try to go at least once a month.

Visited around 10:45 a.m. on a Tuesday. The café is tucked beside Shoppers Drug Mart, with plenty…read moreof parking available. You pass through a charming patio to enter, which was shaded nicely thanks to the size of the Shoppers building. Given the recent heatwave, we opted to sit indoors. We were greeted at the door and offered the choice between a two-person table tucked farther inside or a four-person table closer to other diners. We chose the smaller table for a bit more privacy and ease of conversation. Menus were provided right away, followed shortly by tap water. When our server checked in to ask about drinks, we let her know we were fine with just water. Later, when we were ready to order, she came promptly when we called her over. A standout moment: we ordered just one smoothie, and she kindly asked if we were sharing, then offered to split it into two cups without us even asking. A thoughtful and appreciated gesture. The Pineapple Banana Smoothie was a highlight. It was perfectly balanced between sweet and tart, and incredibly refreshing. My sister ordered the Halloumi Benedict. She noted that while the waffles leaned toward a sweeter flavor on their own, the combination of waffle, egg, and halloumi was well-balanced and worked beautifully together. The egg was jammy and spot-on in terms of taste, texture, and presentation. I had the Fully Loaded, which features a potato waffle topped with bacon bits, sour cream, chives, and cheese. It leaned a bit salty, but not overwhelmingly so, still quite enjoyable overall. I loved the potato waffle which has the slightly crispy edges but was soft to bite with a texture that resembled mash potatoes. As someone who isn't usually crazy about waffles, which was such a nice alternative. Each of our mains came with a side salad (lightly dressed and refreshing) and a choice of fruit salad, maple baked beans, or potato salad. We both chose the fruit salad, which was impressively varied with orange, grapefruit, watermelon, blueberry, blackberry, and banana. Note: Payment is cash or debit only.

We came here for brunch on a Saturday around 11:30am and it was already pretty busy with families…read moreand seniors, but we were lucky and didn't have to wait too long to get a table. I was craving something sweet and savoury, and Cora's menu is perfect for that. I went with the Mountain of Bananas on a waffle for Adam, which came with half a waffle topped with custard, bananas, and a cocoa-hazelnut drizzle. It also came with choice of eggs - I picked scrambled eggs, sausages (but you can pick other items like bacon, ham, etc), toast, and home fries on the side. Everything came out fresh, and I especially liked the home fries... it was crispy, well-seasoned, and honestly my favourite part of the plate. My boyfriend ordered the Morning Hot Dogs, which we thought was pretty interesting. It's sausages, bacon, and sliced cheese all rolled up in crepes. A fun and different take on a breakfast plate, and he enjoyed it. Overall, solid brunch spot with a lot of variety if you're into both sweet and savoury breakfast options. It was busy but still a pretty smooth experience.

After several minutes we were seated and after looking through the menu we both chose omelets - Mom chose their Western and I chose Spinach & Cheese - which came with hash browns, fruit and toast (they were out of multigrain so I chose whole wheat). My omelets and hash browns were very delicious and big enough portions that I took some toast home to eat later. We had fairly prompt service during our visit. I give our experience here 4 1/2 stars (I took 1/2 star off due to having to alter my bread/toast choice).

There was another staff that came by to check and the only time she ever came back was when we had to ask another server for the bill and she brought it over. We ordered the steak & eggs which was $28 and it was not edible. It looked like stir fry, chewy and tough as if it was the last portion sitting in a pan on top of the stove. It was so salty we had to let them know we couldn't eat it without getting hypertension and I assume the manager came over to give us a fresh one to go but still the beef was tough to eat. We also got the spicy Nashville Benny for $25 and the chicken looked as if it was frozen from a bag, nothing nashville about it. The smoked salmon benny was just as disappointing with two small pieces of salmon on each, you could barely see the existence of it. The only thing that looked and tasted good was the tres leches pancake which came out fresh, fluffy and presentable.

My first impression of the menu was really positive - there were lots of tasty-sounding options! We ordered a coffee and latte, along with some water. The coffees arrived fairly quickly, but unfortunately the water never came despite asking twice. For food, I went with the Express Breakfast while my partner ordered the Homestyle Omelette. When everything arrived, my eggs were cooked to a perfect medium, which I really enjoyed, and the omelette was a very impressive portion size. The service was a bit hit-or-miss, though. It took a while for us to get cutlery and when we asked for ketchup, our server said she'd be right back but never returned with it. We eventually had to ask the diners at the table beside us if we could borrow theirs. One nice touch was the in-house strawberry jam, which I thought was fun! It was a little too sweet for my personal taste, but I appreciated the extra touch. Overall, we had a nice, simple breakfast at a good price. The restaurant is surprisingly large, with lots of seating, and it had a really lively atmosphere. I wasn't particularly wowed by the experience, but we got a good deal and had a decent meal, so I'd say Stacked is a solid option if you're looking for an affordable and casual breakfast.

I'll be honest, the restaurant looked like it used to be an insurance office, and then switched a few things around to make it look like a restaurant.

The server told me they season them with a bag of spices, including curry. Next time I come to Toronto, I'll pass by here again. Worth the trip.

I had a hot chocolate to drink, while my husband settled on coffee (which was refilled often). We were surprised at how filling and affordable the food was; it was definitely worth the price that we had paid. All of the items were well-prepared, tasting delicious.
