“ It was my first time here with my partner and we’ve been searching for a new brunch place and this was definitely THE one!! The eggs benny was the best I’ve had and the overall atmosphere was so cozy, with lots of natural light and diverse seating options. The prices were affordable and the service was exceptional, we will definitely be back! It’s one of those family fun, local finds you have to try out at least once. ”
“ Super nice people who make wonderful comfort food. Street parking available. Cozy corner restaurant with a small sheltered patio. Late breakfast for two with a take out meal & dessert came to 72 dollars with tax & tip. Large portions will leave you satisfied. We had the eggs with peameal, veal schnitzel Benedict, coffees, an order of meatloaf with potato salad and a mighty fine dessert. Not fully accessible as you have a couple of small steps up from the sidewalk. Will definitely go back for other dishes such as the goulash soup. Got super busy come lunch time but the Staff still managed to dish out the various orders. ”
“ It’s a kind of neighbourhood-vibe cafe. Foods are great and affordable. The patio is the best part chatty with friends. Hazelnut cake is recommended!! Avoid high peak times at noon, it might be waiting for a while!!! Staffs are very nice. ”
“ Schnitzel is my favourite sandwich in the city!!! Very consistent food and family run! Patio is great and always a relaxing, comfortable space. Always worth the trip up to midtown. ”
“ My parents took me here as a kid, now I’m taking my kids here. Personally, I come here when meeting friends for a small lunch. Price is just right that you can meet your friends often. Family owned and operated. Solid, friendly, hardworking people. Quite rare for Toronto to have a restaurant that’s been operating for so long. Schnitzel sandwiches are the right size for lunch. Not too heavy, not too light. ”
“ We came for brunch around 1pm and got the eggs benny, peameal BLT and the french toast; all were amazing! Very cozy bright atmosphere, great service, and it was so cute how they decorated for valentines day :) This is definitely a new favourite spot in our area! ”
“ It's a cute little breakfast place in midtown. I have wanted to go there since I moved to this area. Weekends are always busy here, so I went during weekdays. We ordered fried eggs and toast, and chicken schnitzel benedict with coffee. Both were amazing. The Benedict sauce had a fresh taste and a smooth texture. Service was pretty fast since it was a weekday. Owners are friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is charming with tons of natural light and small plants. I guess the price here is pretty affordable too. Would love to visit again to try another dish from their menu. ”
“ Was looking for a quaint breakfast place on my way downtown and couldn’t be happier. Got the standard egg breakfast and was not disappointed in any manner. Perfectly cooked over easy eggs, nice seasoned (non deep fried) potatoes, crisp and thick bacon. Service was OUTSTANDING. What a surprise treat to find this place. ”
