This is absolutely a place worth coming back to. I stopped into The Morning After Café in downtown Toronto for breakfast and ended up staying a while to get some work done. From the moment I walked in, the vibe felt welcoming and relaxed. When I arrived it was not too busy, but it steadily picked up, and it was clear that people genuinely enjoy being there. I started with the Flying Unicorn, which was creative and delicious. It is a latte-style drink with a shot and Lucky Charms, and it was both fun and surprisingly well balanced. Definitely not just a gimmick. You can tell thought went into the menu. It took me a bit to decide what to eat because everything sounded good, but I landed on the chicken and waffles and it did not disappoint. The food was flavorful, comforting, and beautifully presented. This is elevated comfort food done right. The service and management were first rate. Everyone was attentive and friendly without being overly formal or pretentious. One of the staff members even chatted with me for a few minutes, and it felt more like catching up with a friend than a transactional interaction. That kind of warmth really stands out, especially when you are new in town. The atmosphere was lively and fun, the bathrooms were clean, and the overall concept was executed really well. Their "f*ck hangovers" tagline fits perfectly. This is the kind of place where you can enjoy great food, creative drinks, mimosas, and a relaxed social vibe all in one spot. Great food, great service, great energy. I cannot wait to go back. read more

I ordered the Wake & Steak from their brunch menu and the flavours weren't anything special. The striploin was overcooked and I couldn't really taste or see the mushrooms that said were part of the dish. Despite this, the food was still OK. What hurt my experience at this brunch spot was actually our server that day. I ordered a regular coffee but she made a snarky comment about how I wasn't ordering their special lattes which I found to be a bit odd. Anyways, if you're expecting to catch up with friends over brunch here, definitely be prepared to try to talk over the loud music. read more

The Morning After - Wake & Steak - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Food: ordered a guilty conscience and a b2 benny. The guilty conscience was good and filling. Who's not gonna like a smoked meat, egg and Gruyère sandwich? The b2 benny had a perfectly poached egg, chewy bacon and a difficult to cut slice of cheddar. For a brunch place, the eggs Benedict gotta be on point and this one wasn't. The hot sauce is hot so don't slather it on too thick. Service: leisurely considering the place wasn't crowded. Ambiance: At 10AM, it was too early to listen to millennial club bangers w/ explicit lyrics so maybe give this place a pass if you've got to feed some kids. read more

It's always brunch o'clock at the morning after. We enjoyed everything here and the service was amazing. The menu has so many options with quirky names, it's so hard to choose!! They have drinks and cocktails too. Perfect brunch spot! Newest on the menu is the *Stacked in Dubai (Dubai chocolate pancakes) * Hangover Hamburger *ménage a trois (Deep Fried French Toast) *Still Fried (Chicken & waffle) And of course the drinks are so pretty we had to try *Pistachio Latte *Unicorn Latte It's super busy on weekends so be prepared to wait. The only complaint is their parking. All these restaurants have limited street parking. And it's out of the way to go if you don't have a car. read more

This place is one of the most hyped up brunch places in the GTA. There's always a line in the summer. I would say - the food did not disappoint! We tried the recommended items, the chicken waffle and french toast. I would highly recommend the french toast! It was paired with a tequila caramel sauce that is unique and layered. However, you do need to wait in line on weekends. I tried to reserve a table for my friend who wanted to come the same day and the hostess would not let me. read more

Chose The Morning After for brunch because it was near where I was staying and it ended up being amazing. The atmosphere and music was lively and the drinks were incredible. My boyfriend had the Ceasar (not pictured) and said it was the best bloody mary he's ever had. The food was well seasoned and it hit the spot for sure. We also loved the homemade hot sauce. It was a great experience with great vibes. read more

I love the morning after. The food is consistently delicious and reasonably-priced. The waitstaff are friendly and food comes out in a timely manner. It's also very fun to be there - there's often a DJ playing and the patio is fantastic in the summer. We went recently and got the mimosa-go-round which I'd recommend. read more

We looked for a brunch spot with a dj that would remind us of home. This cute little spot had all the aesthics and the dj. We were sat right away which is good because the later it got the more people showed up and they had to wait. The bartender was really nice and accommodated us the entire time. Didn't get his name but we can call him mr blue eyes. He gave drink recommendations and as busy as he was he was still good. All the platters were good. The eggs and potatoes were good. The bacon was chewy. My sis got chicken and waffles.. the chicken was chewy and the waffle was alright. They should think going with tenders or wings. The pancake was thick as ever but sooo good. Drinks wete okay. The need less juice but more alcohol. Definitely a spot with a good vibe though read more

My first time in Toronto and I decided to try The Morning After since it was right next to the place I was staying at. The vibes here were so dope! We had an amazing server who was very friendly. The food...omg the food was very delicious. Ordered the Make No Mis-Steak and it was soooo good. I loved everything about this place. Whenever I come back to Toronto I'd definitely come back here again. Thank you guys for everything. read more

The Morning After - Ayi dios mias - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Was looking for a cute brunch spot in the Downtown core area and discovered The Morning After from a quick search online. Despite being around -20 outside, there was still a reasonable amount of people! I came around 10am-ish on a Saturday and was able to grab a table. Walking in, you're welcomed with upbeat party pop music which is a bit of a fun vibe for early in the morning. Spill the Tea (Matcha pancakes): Aesthetically looked amazing but the pancakes were denser than they appeared. The size looked pretty small based on first impressions but was a lot more filling than it looked. Taste wise they tasted decent with the matcha sauce. You can definitely taste the coconut in this pancake. It wasn't the best I've had but not the worst! Blueberry ricotta pancakes: Similar review with the matcha pancakes. The blueberry sauce was delicious and paired well with the ricotta however, it does get a bit overwhelming after a few bites as the pancake texture is already dense. I feel like this would really pair better if the pancake was more fluffier. Chicken & waffles: The chicken and waffles were quite good! The gochujang infusion wasn't really that obvious so I was a bit surprised there was even gochujang in it. I found this to be a bit better than the pancakes. The service was very attentive and checking up on our table for water refills. I thought the wait time would be longer for the food since the server did give a heads up for the long wait time for the food but to our surprise the food came out much quicker than the estimated time! Overall, I had a great experience here, only rough part is that the restaurant is tough to find if you're not familiar with the area (if you see Hunter's Landing, turn to the walkway and it's on the opposite side more tucked in). read more

Not my choice to come here but it wasn't too bad. A bit pricy for what you're getting but that's just the world today. I ordered red velvet pancakes and a unicorn latte. The pancakes were ok but didn't taste at all like red velvet. If they didn't have the cream cheese frosting I feel like they would have been blah. The latte had zero flavor. Was supposed to have a marshmallow syrup but I didn't taste it AT ALL. That could have been cause it was hot but who knows. The waitress also DID NOT ask if we wanted our drinks hot or iced. It came hot and I wanted it iced. Same with my friend. The place itself is decorated nicely. Very Instagramable. Would I go back if I'm ever in Toronto? Probably not. Once is more than enough. read more

Good food, fast service despite rush hour. The vibe was very fast-paced with the music.

We visited The Morning After at the recommendation of my bf who went here last time he was in Toronto. It was the last restaurant we ate at on the way back home. Upon entering the restaurant, you are met with a bright and cheery vibe. It was very cute! I loved all the decor. The staff were very nice, they seated us and got our drink orders. I just wanted orange juice, but they were all out, so I got grapefruit. My boyfriend got a mimosa, which he liked. We both got the chicken and waffles - he got the gochujang syrup that it came with and I got regular syrup. Once the food came out, we both agreed the chicken was pretty dry, despite it being thigh meat. There wasn't very much breading on the chicken and not enough syrup for the dish, in my opinion, so I asked for more which made it a little better. My waffle was tasty once I added the extra syrup. My bf said it was a lot better the last time he went there. Overall, really cute restaurant but if I went again I would order something else. I wish I got the pancakes because in the pictures on others' reviews they look really yummy! That seems to be their specialty, so maybe stick to those. read more

First, let me say the decor and atmosphere of this restaurant was amazing. The only thing that would make me take away points from this restaurant would be how long it took for us to get your food. When you first come into the restaurant area, the music is blasting, and the crowd was definitely enjoying themselves. Once seated the waitress told us that we had one hour. We looked at the menu and placed our orders after our orders were placed, it took almost 30 minutes to receive our food and for such a long wait the food was definitely not hot when it reached the table. To eat I ordered the make no mis-steak which was steak with eggs however you wanted them and crispy potatoes with a house sauce. The food was definitely good, but as I stated before, the only thing that would make me take points away from this restaurant was that it took so long to get your food and I dis wish the food was hotter when it reached the table. The staff was amazing. They were very friendly and very helpful. The outfits that the staff wore were also cool. The female staff wore pink shirts or sweaters that said fuck hangovers on the back, and the male staff members wore black. I definitely enjoyed myself here. The music set the mood and the crowd definitely added to it so I would definitely come back here if in Toronto again. read more

I wish I could give this restaurant 6 stars for the amazing experience I had for my birthday! It checked off everything and more! ... All for a very reasonable price compared to other downtown experiences. I was looking for a place to celebrate my birthday on a Monday morning, and I wanted it to have super girly brunch vibes (we had a party of 4), an aesthetic ambiance, yummy food for a reasonable price, not be too claustrophobic, not too west end, and not too hard to find parking. This restaurant and our server (her name was Asia!) delivered above and beyond! For booking the restaurant, I called on Sunday night for a reservation (it was really hard to find a place that offered brunch/tea on a weekday, let alone last minute), and they recommended to reserve the pink couch to fit the vibes I was looking for. This spot ended up being so cute and girly, had a really nice view of the restaurant and decor, and had great lighting. The restaurant was not overly book at this time. The table was spacious enough to accomodate way more than the 4 of us. They also played fun music to add to the vibe We ordered something sweet (mashup platter), something savoury (the wreckage), and lattes and it ended up being the perfect portions for the 4 of us. The food was super yummy with the perfect balance of sweet (but not too sweet!) to savoury (just the right amount of sovoury so that we wouldn't get foodcoma before our other activities). It was a bonus when the mashup platter came out served in a brunch tower when we were only expecting a platter. Our server, Asia, was awesome and super hype! She brought lots of positive energy, was very attentative as our server, helped us take pictures, and even worked the camera angles for us. As a bonus at the end, she even brought out yummy birthday cocktail shots (FYI I usually hate alcoholic drinks) accompanied with flashing party lights (like when you reserve a booth at the club). She took really good care of us and we had an amazing time with her I would definitely be back, and highly recommend this place if this is the vibe you're looking for Our order: mashup platter (20-25 mins) -- $40 mixed pancake, french toast & waffle platter with sweet accompaniments the wreckage -- $22 home fries topped with quebec curds, hollandaise, mustard cream sauce, smoked meat & bacon crumble topped with a sunny-side up egg & chives cinnamon toast crunch latte -- $10 + others read more

What's poppin' at The Morning After Finally had the chance to try this place after seeing it everywhere on TikTok! It "sort-of" lived up to the hype? We got the Red Velvet Pancakes which I was really excited for, big fan of red velvet! The texture is a little off considering how chewy it is and it didn't feel like a pancake nor does it feel like a cake - kinda have mixed feelings about this ‍ We also got the Wake & Steak eggs Benedict we asked for medium rare but it came out TOUGH, almost well done. Quite ironic how in the menu there's a little note on how the chef does not suggest cooking the steak passed medium-well As for drinks, we were really excited to try the famous Unicorn Latte, but their espresso machine is broken so they suggested the iced version instead but it deadass tasted like Tim's iced coffee & the sprinkled Lucky Charms cereal just cause of the name anyways, not a vibe unfortunately Also forgot to mention how there's only a 1 hour seating limit, and the food takes almost 30mins but thankfully our server did not rush us. Despite being slightly underwhelmed by the food, I'd still come by and try their other dishes - so let me know if you have any reccs! Also they have the prettiest patio cause we were sitting inside and the club music was just too damn loud for our liking not very brunch-y music imo Food: 6.5/10 Service: 7/10 Ambiance: 7.5/10 read more

Overall, this was a bad experience all around. It started when we walked in and had to wait 2 hours despite being quoted 45 minutes. After waiting through rainfall and hunger - we finally got seated on a wet patio outside. Upon ordering our food, we only received half of it, with our server forgetting the remaining half for 30-45 min. By the time we finally got that resolved, all of our food was cold. That being said, once we tasted the food we realized that the temperature of the food was the least of the problems. Dry and flavourless - the food left much to be desired. The dessert looked great so we were excited to have a break, but as we should have guessed, very underwhelming as well. Please save your time and money and go to a different brunch spot. This is clearly a restaurant selling itself on a gimmick versus service/food. read more

Great vibe, although very loud. Overpriced for ok food. They add an 18% gratuity to the bill for a table of 5 or more, jsyk. Hollandaise was terrible! Tasteless and seemed like it was made from mayonnaise. 4 of us had Benedict's. None of us really enjoyed them.....underwhelming! The lobster Benedict (down under) came out cold, both times. The fried chicken was dry and really didn't have a coating. read more

Very cute brunch place, good service, and aesthetic and good tasting food! Came here with a group of 6 with a reservation and we were seated within minutes of checking in. The staff were nice and took the time to talk through their favorites and any recommendations she had. The food came out in a timely manner (within 15 mins for all 6 of us). The food was good and the drinks were super aesthetic, though a bit expensive for the quantity. The aesthetic was super cute, we were seated at one of the bigger tables with a pink couch on one side and table chairs on the other. Got a lot of cute pics together and I absolutely loved the pink couch look! read more

Found the restaurant on Google maps. Super close to my Airbnb. So decided to stop by in the morning. I ordered the flying unicorn latte and the spill the tea pancakes. The waiter took the order wrong and gave me the regular unicorn latte instead. I had a few sips and couldn't taste the alcohol at all and double checked with her. Seemed like she put in the wrong order for me. Also the latte didn't come until maybe 5 or 7 min after the pancakes were served. I read the reviews online saying the unicorn latte was super sweet. So I asked for half sugar. It turned out pretty well. They used vanilla syrup instead of marshmallow syrup. I also asked them to switch to oat milk. Later I found out it costed $1.5 to switch to oat milk.... I hope they used some unicorn oat milk... cuz Tim Hortons only charges $0.5 more for oat milk. The pancakes were terrible... couldn't tell what texture the chef was going for. They were not fluffy, nor like a cake. They just felt like some sad, failed cake that were out in the kitchen overnight. The pancakes themselves were not warm. The topping was room temperature as well. The matcha topping was not consistent. As shown in the photo, you can see it was very watery as if the water and the cream separated. I couldn't taste much match either. The strawberry jam was tasteless. The black sesame seeds could have been a hit. But I don't think they toasted the seeds, hence they didn't do much to the overall taste. I had high expectations for the pancakes since some of the reviews said the sweets were better than the savory mains and the pancake photos uploaded by the restaurant were pretty. Definitely disappointed after trying them out in person. Vibe wise, the store was definitely cute. Playing a movie on Netflix. It was weird tho when I entered, they were playing Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Do not recommend. Will not visit again. read more

A cute, vibey atmosphere, fun menu, & tasty great portion of food! I wasn't sure I'd like some of the creative French toast & waffles so I went the safe route with my plain waffle. It was really good! It seemed everyone orders the unicorn lattes so I decided to be first to post the Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte with Oat milk. I'm not a coffee drinker but it was very good. It was served with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal on it & on the side. Honestly it made me want to start eating cereal with coffee mixed with milk! Delish combo! It's always a wait here, live dj, so be sure to make a reservation on weekends! Also, the waiter won't inform you but the tiny ramekin of syrup isn't enough so when you ask for another know the tiny thing costs $3. The dj was on point, the lighting is perfect for photos, the crowd is youthful. Go, enjoy!! read more

They played 90's R&B so you know I'm in love with the whole vibe.

Busy even on a rainy day. No reservations here so literally first come, first serve. We came around 11:30 am just before waves of people came in and even settled to sit outside in the cool, covered air. This is definitely the place for breakfast for whatever reason ails you. I had the Ay dios mio - a crispy corn tortilla topped with pico di gallo, refried beans and fried egg, served spicy rancheros sauce, lime creme, queso fresco, avocado, and cilantro. This was tasty! The atmosphere is busy! Only open until 4 pm with a 90 minute turnover per table. Also, 18% tip is included in the bill you receive. When you get the bill you are also told you can add another tip on top of that. That's a bit much I must say. I'm happy the quality of food and customer service is on par which may warrant that if you have one of their endless options of cocktails. I love the atmosphere and definitely feel this would be a quick fun place to go in the summer. read more

The Morning After - Chicken and Waffles and Daytime Ting - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great little place for brunch. The only downside to it is that they really do not have a lot of seating in the summertime. It's much better because they have a huge patio and therefore can really extend their seating and almost double it or more. On Fridays through Sunday as they do not take reservations, so FYI, totally understand that based on their seating capacity, so depending on the time that you show up, you may end up having about a half hour wait especially during the busy times. Having said all that the staff are extremely nice, very helpful and also very efficient. Once you sit down and order you've got about 90 minutes at your table, but they do serve you very quickly and so therefore you can actually enjoy your brunch and sit and relax for a bit with a coffee or a drink and talk with your friends. My friend and I ended up having the eggs Benedict And the three egg classic breakfast. And the lychee mimosa. Both meals were excellent and came very quickly. You won't be disappointed. Very fun vibe and just a great place overall to go and have brunch. It's located off Fort York blvd If you see Taylor's Landing, it's down that same lane way - you have to actually turn right and walk a bit . There is a parking lot, but candidly best access is via TTC you they'll drop you right at the top of the hill on Spadina at Bremner . Enjoy. read more
