Loved everything about my visit! My poached eggs and bacon were perfectly cooked and the service couldn’t have been better. It’s a great place to have breakfast alone or with your family. I can’t wait to visit again.
A literal hole-in-the-wall joint that I stumbled upon looking for a breakfast diner in the area. I am beyond ecstatic that I found this hidden gem, and will definitely come back for breakfast or brunch to try out more dishes. The establishment is the definition of a neighbourhood diner, brandishing their ... pop culture memorabilias and nostalgic aesthetic. But that's not the only thing they got right, cause the food definitely screams home-cooked meal and taste like your favorite comfort foods. They offer a menu with all your favourite breakfast and brunch options, that you can customize to your liking. Workers are super friendly and attentive and the food came out in a timely manner. Overall an amazing experience visiting this location. Read more
Food was pretty good! What you'd expect from a breakfast establishment. Service was amazing, they kept checking on us and even gave us recommendations. I tried an espresso with sambuca and it was tasty! We also had an apple pie which was just okay, the ice cream that came with ... it was good though! The vibe in here feels like you're on an old movie set, feels so cool! The walls have pictures of old celebrities hung up to add to it. The atmosphere is very cosy, you feel very comfortable in this place and we were not rushed to leave. Very chill and welcoming. Only issue would be the parking, when they're busy it's hard to find parking but other than that it's great! Perfect for brunch Read more
Wanted a breakfast place close to airport-one friend flying in for a celebration of life in Brampton and our other friend living in Etobicoke wanted to surprise her. The location was perfect and food/atmosphere was great. Lucia our server was great and let us chat and catch up. We enjoyed our breakfast ... and vibe. Restaurant was constantly busy from when we arrived after 09:15-11:00! Read more
