The place was more than worth the wait, as it turns out. And it's still doing extremely well, given how busy it was and how long we had to wait for a table (almost a full half hour!) We knew going in that we had to try a few of the joint's most famous dishes, the Cinnamon Bun Pancakes, the Breakwich, and Emma's BLT. It was clearly way, way too much food but everything was so good that I had zero regrets. In particular, those pancakes are as flavorful and scrumptious as I would've hoped. The two savory sandwiches fared just as well, and it was clear that they had been assembled with a tremendous amount of care. The busy atmosphere was fun, and our server was friendly and helpful. Yep, I can see why Emma's has managed to stick around all these years.

It had been a while since my last visit, and I was reminded right away why this place stands out…read more The service is incredibly warm and personable--something you don't often come across in Toronto. The biscuits were just average for my taste, but the home fries were excellent. The eggs Benedict could have used a bit more hollandaise--something I'm sure they would have happily provided if I'd asked, but I didn't. The highlight of the breakfast was the special menu collaboration with Sanagan Meat Locker. The savory cornbread pancakes were outstanding--served hot with crispy edges, layered with pimento cheese, and topped with butter and honey. Paired with the blueberry sausage from Sanagan, it was an unforgettable combination. I really loved this collaboration with Emma--it was creative, comforting, and absolutely delicious.

Newly opened café, only 2 months old. Came across this spot from Google Maps as I was in the area…read moreand I was looking for a café nearby to get something light. I'm so glad I stopped by. First impressions? Wow. Aesthetically pleasing and beautiful. It was empty when I arrived, but the first thing that caught my eye was the attention to detail, to the colour scheme and decor. There's a cute patio outside. Inside? Beautiful interiors and the dishes used? A perfect match. A flower wall at the back with a neon sign also adorns the place. Overall, I felt the place is warm, cozy and inviting. Staff very friendly and even gave us recommendations on what to order. We ordered a gozleme (stuffed flatbread) and a slice of trilece. My only regret? Not ordering more. We were served complimentary Turkish tea. As for the food, I loved every bite and savored the touch of love added. I especially loved the trilece which was not too sweet, but just right. Washroom was also very clean. I instantly recommended this place to a friend who lives in the area. As for me, I look forward to coming back sooner than later, perhaps for their breakfast as it is a breakfast café after all. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the menu as it feels a little crammed and a bit hard to read with so much info on just 3 pages, but otherwise, everything else was great.

I found the menamen missing a depth in taste of a well stewed tomato base, and the beef tips were dry. The accompanying bread was phenomenal tho. The server was rushed and didn't seem to hear what I was asking for. I bought some cookies to take out and they were given to me already crushed and broken up in the clamshell container. Maybe I should have said something, it's telling that I didn't (I suspected I wasn't going to be understood and if a server is willing to hand over crumbled cookies, can I expected any ROI by saying anything?? I had already paid the bill so I just got out of there. When I tasted the crumbled cookies, I found them lacking in taste as well, not just super dry.

The restaurant took over the previous space of the restaurant Grapefruit Moon. This neighbourhood gem has both indoor seating for around 25 customers and a cute outdoor patio as well to the side when the weather is nice. I stopped by Daisy May's on a Thurs morning, shortly after they opened. The place wasn't busy at all and I was actually their only customer during my time there. The menu is divided up into small plates, brunch (think breakfast sandwich, eggs benny, a tartine, steak frites, and french toast), sandwiches (like the Cubano, a double smashburger, and the chicken club to name a few), as well as sides (fries, slaw, tater tots), and dessert (they have a key lime pie and a basque cheesecake!). They also have a drink list - a small list of wines, cocktails, beer/cider, and non-alcoholic options like coffee, soda, and juice. Service was friendly and I was given my space to enjoy my food and my time there. My order was placed at a reasonable time and I waited about 10-15 min for my food to arrive. Coffee of course arrived first. Food and drink wise, I ordered: - Breakfast sandwich ($11) - Grilled English muffin, chive soft scramble, American cheese, manchego, pickles, pickled jalapeno, aioli, hot sauce with a house breakfast sausage - Side of a summer salad ($5), which was their poached pear salad (champagne vinigrette, endive, raddichhio, red lettuce, mint, candied nuts) - Americano ($5) Americano was made well. Both of the food items I got were extremely delicious! The breakfast sandwich was perfect - that chive soft scramble with the American cheese was fluffy and soft, the pickles/pickled jalapeno cut the heaviness of the eggs/sausage, and the house breakfast sausage was substantial. All the ingredients worked so well together and it was a pretty amazing breakfast sandwich. The salad was also amazing as well - the candied nuts definitely added another dimension and contrast to the entire dish. It was a great salad and I would highly recommend everyone to get both items!! Overall, a great neighbourhood gem located about a 5 min walk north of Bathurst station. A great brunch if you want somewhere more local, casual, and chill with great food. Would come back again in the future for more brunch!
