Food - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Ambiance - 5/5 Price - Average Ordered Corn Bread Florentine, Kerr Breakfast with Smoked Salmon, and a drink. I've never had cornbread and eggs together before, but it's definitely worth it. Their Hollandaise sauce was also amazing and buttery. One thing is, the cornbread with eggs was very mild, so had to ask for their hot sauce to spice it up, and their hot sauce didn't fail. It was really good with the hot sauce. On a side note, they do not make anything with just egg whites. Overall, it's worth it when in town and also if you've never had cornbread and eggs before.

It’s my favourite place to go when my husband and I want a delicious and healthy brunch 😋 I love the vibes and atmosphere. They have lots of varieties, and we loved every dish we tried so far. They change the menu constantly for better and new options. My favourite dish is the cornbread Florentine with avo or salmon 😋, and I really love the new Turkish egg. Staff are always friendly and serve you with love.

What's there not to like. Great indoor & outdoor seating. Fast service and delicious food. The menu items are well picked and meticulously executed. The only remark is seating is a little tight. Keep it up guys

We ordered the following dishes: Turkish eggs, avocado toast, pancakes and drinks: latte, flat white, cappuccino. All the dishes were very delicious and their presentation was an art. The staff were very kind and fast in service. The place was clean and bright. The best table you can get is near the window. Unfortunately, I was not lucky enough to have it. I also bought a very delicious Colombian coffee crop.

Every dish is prepared with care and attention to detail. The staff is kind and welcoming, which adds to the cozy and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this place is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Kerr Street Cafe is one of the best brunch restaurants I've been to. I don't like giving out perfect scores for reviews but it's well earned. The coffee, food, service and atmosphere was wonderful. I had to grab a coffee to go after we were finished eating. I would love to visit again in the future! I never normally order salmon for breakfast but I had a feeling it would be a nice treat and Kerr Street Cafe delivered. I couldn't give them a higher praise!

We visited this brunch spot in May, and I completely forgot to leave a deserved appreciation review for this absolutely amazing place. I wish we had something like this near where I live. While on our trip, we were searching for a quality brunch spot with good coffee, and we found this gem! It’s rare to find a combination of delicious food, aromatic coffee, and excellent service, from the host to everyone who works there. The blueberry pancakes were simply heavenly 🤤

I was in the area a decided to drop by for Saturday brunch. The restaurant was packed when I arrived, and I had to wait around 20 minutes before being seated. It should be noted that there's a 75 minute seating limit here. My partner and I ordered the Kerr Breakfast with Smoked Salmon, Pancakes, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Latte, and Matcha Latte, and loved every bite. The food were all beautifully presented, and delicious! The sticky toffee pudding stood out the most as melted in my mouth, and was probably the best I ever had. The restaurant itself has a lively ambiance, with modern decor, and is very family friendly. There's a small kids menu if you want to bring the little ones along. They also have a takeout counter if you just want to grab a coffee, or light bite to go. Both street parking and a paid parking lot are near by.

We went today to celebrate my mom s birthday. It is awesome spot, had the dirty chai latte and cornbread florentine with sausage patty. It was awesome and the patty was homemade. Dirty Chai Latte was smooth. Vegetarian options: My sister got the mushroom toast and loved it.

I came here with 3 friends on a Saturday afternoon and we ordered 4 different dishes. The truffle fries were great, however, none of us liked our main dishes. The huevos rancheros, the weekender sandwich, and the mushroom toast were underwhelming. The service is great but the food was a big disappointment.

Went here for brunch after hearing great things about it and didnt regret it! Would definitely go back another time!

October 22, 2024

If I am paying $120 breakfast for 2 people I would expect to have my own space for breakfast. Instead of splitting a table of 4 into 2 tables of 2, 3 inches from each other. First off had no space for our meal on the table. Second off I m there to have breakfast with my wife. Not there to have breakfast with my wife and the couple 3 inches away from me. I would expect this seating arrangement at a food court or cafeteria. Not $120 breakfast! Very disappointed and it shows how greed takes priority over customer experience.

Service was extremely terrible! The server asked us how we doing today after we sit, we responded politely and then she asked us again in a loud and rude tone. Food was fine, small portion and expensive. When we tried to ask for bill the lady ignored us two times and just walked pass by, and she finally talks to us when we waved at her again. Then we waited 10 minutes for the bill and realized the bill wasn t coming at all, so we had to ask another server for it. Overall experience was just terrible. Don t come at this place

Good food choices for Sunday brunch, however restaurant needs a better system for waiting guests. Wait time was 45 min for a party of 5 today and there was no possibility to join online waiting list nor get a text notification when the table is ready. I did not mind waiting on sunny day like today but definitely would not stay if the weather was cold/rainy. Coffee was really good Parking: Plenty of street parking

It s a one time experience. We went on a weekend so there was a long wait. They don t take reservations and that s okay but their system is primitive. You re stuck in front of the cafe waiting for them to call your name, and discovering the nearby shops or going back to your car to wait there is not an option. We ordered The Kebb and Trout Crepe. Chicken and trout were dry and eggs weren t jammy at all (the yolks were medium well). Dishes were lacking flavor which is a bit odd with all the great ingredients on the menu. However, mocha was good and the latte art was beautiful.

My friend and I placed our orders and by the 60min mark we realize it s been a long while since placing our orders. Two tables were seated, ordered and paid their bills at this point. We ask our waitress for an update as it s been a long time since placing our orders. She goes to check, at this point another waitress comes to compliment my outfit and we share our woes with her saying we ve been waiting for a hundred yrs for our food to make light of the situation. She goes what s your order, we tell her and she goes off to check and comes back within a few mins saying she placed our orders and how she s very sorry and that our meals will be taken care of. We thanked her and then our original waitress comes back saying she s very sorry and that she forgot to press send for the order and we said no problem. She also said the bill will be taken care of. We get the meals and after we are done, she asks do we want one bill or a separate bill. At this point I m confused bc we had two waitresses say the meal will be taken care of. So I m thinking ok maybe they will charge me for the cappuccino. I say one bill, I receive the bill and our meals were on the bill and just the cappuccino was taken off. I ask the waitress, what did you mean when you said the bill will be taken care of? She said oh we removed the cappuccino. One waitress literally said your meals will be taken care of and our waitress said I m so sorry your bill will be taken care of . I didn t have the energy to address it because if you don t have the common sense to follow through on your words, then what s really the point. Won t be returning again bc of this experience.

I have to say that we arrived early and did not wait for a table but then we noticed that there was a line to have breakfast. Thats when we noticed its a popular place. The service is excellent, the food has details that were a little disappointing. My husband ordered Turkish Eggs with bread so hard that it would break a tooth. I ordered some Pancakes, no complaints about them, but our coffees were bad. 2 x COOFEE $7.00 Pancakes $21.00 Turkish Eggs $24.00 Total= 58.76

The food was mediocre. The hot chocolate we ordered was lukewarm and lacked a strong chocolate taste. Additionally, the milk s consistency was too thin. When we requested an improvement, the waitress condescendingly explained how their hot chocolate was unique, making us feel inexperienced. She was dismissive of our feedback and argumentative.

Despite not taking reservations, the wait is definitely worth it. The freshly squeezed orange juice is delicious, and the cappuccino is perfect. We tried the trout crepe and the huevos rancheros, both of which were absolutely delicious. The service was friendly, and the café s pleasant decor added to the overall bustling yet cozy atmosphere.

Pros: pancakes were AMAZING. Honestly, better than other breakfast places in downtown Toronto. Would absolutely come back just for the pancakes! The cornbread florentine was also delicious and would recommend! Cons: it was really hot for indoor seating shrimp tacos were lacking flavour/sauce and had very minimal pico de gallo honestly overpriced for what you get $7 for a small lemonade is a bit steep We will definitely come back to try other dishes and get the pancakes again! Service was fine, they were friendly, no complaints!

July 22, 2024

Update: The restaurants response to this review reflects their attitude towards criticism. The food was just OK. The hot chocolate we ordered was barely warm and not very chocolatey. When we asked if they could improve it, the waitress lectured us on how their hot chocolate was special! She was a bit rude and acted as if we were having hot chocolate for the very time. Unbelievable! Overall the food was totally overpriced and tasted just average.

★★★
July 22, 2024

Sub par and overpriced food, decent atmosphere. We ordered the avocado toast, which should NOT be hard to mess up, but they found a way to over-complicate it. With too many additions (like pomegranate and pesto), it took away from the taste of the avocado or the egg. The egg was supposed to be soft poached but came out hard poached. Adding salmon was an extra $7 on top of the overpriced $21 for the avo toast. Instead of a simple eggs Benedict, they do a cornbread (dry) version, where the hollandaise sauce was below a basic standard that you may get from Sunset Grill. The atmosphere was the only saving grace, with great outdoor seating on a nice street. Long story short, they tried to be too fancy with the food choices, and completely missed the mark.

The host and manager are extremely rude! This place has no system for taking a waiting list. I was ignored as I waited by sign only to realize the host had put 2 other people who came after me on the waitlist. After speaking up about this I was told I was over reacting and I should have been more assertive with approaching the host. While there was no tag indicating who the host was. After speaking to the manager, I was meet with very condescending feedback and made to feel gaslight about my concerns.

My boyfriend and I decided to check out this Cafe after I saw great reviews online about the food and atmosphere. Went this morning for breakfast. The inside of the cafe was very beautiful and bright and welcoming. However, the service we received during our time here was the absolute opposite of that. I got a cappuccino and the rancheros breakfast. My boyfriend got an espresso, fresh orange juice, and the morty breakfast sandwich with the potatoes on the side. The espresso was one of the worst espressos we ve ever had which was really unfortunate. It was extremely watery and bitter to the point in which he couldn t even drink it (added sugar afterwards and still that couldn t help it). My boyfriend s breakfast sandwich was very good. The potatoes were alright as the texture was good but kind of bland. My breakfast was alright. It really lacked flavour and good textures which was unfortunate. I had to season my plate with more salt and pepper as well as the potatoes. The server we had was very unpleasant and rude. Barely checked on us throughout our time, and we felt rushed through our visit. We waited a long while after we finished our meal for our server to come back. After paying, she just took the machine and as she started to walk away (without staying or looking at us) said have a good day . That was really rude and disrespectful. Throughout our stay, our waitress would respond back to us saying huh, what with a rude tone in her voice. We noticed other tables with the same waitress getting better and faster service than us. Overall, was not impressed with the customer service we received. It s difficult to go out to eat due to rising costs, and therefore make it a special occasion to go out. The breakfast was on the pricier end which is more than fine if the customer service and the entirety of the meal add up to it. Excellent customer service is very important to me, and it should be important to all employees. Will not be returning, first and last time. Update: I was given an email to email back regarding my experience. I still have not heard back, emailed 4 days ago. I will update when/if I hear back and any follow up has happened. UPDATE: I finally received an email from the manager or Brad . A week and a half later. All that he sent was Hello Alexandra, What did you want to discuss further? I m very surprised and shocked by this email. After my negative experience I was told by Brad to email him and he would help if I ever wanted to return to the cafe. However from this email sent much later, it is very clear that the management at this cafe do not put their customers first (nor want to improve on negative customer service). Another email sent if I wanted to give him a call to discuss this further. Overall, nothing further to discuss. I definitely will be telling my friends and family not to come to this cafe as I am just surprised at how management deals with negative customer reviews. This is just my personal experience.

I loved this place! The food and staff were amazing. As soon as I walked into the café, it immediately gave off Aussie vibes. When I looked at the menu, I was 100% sure that this café had a strong connection to Melbourne- Australia. As an Australian, it was fantastic to find this gem in Toronto, reminding me of home. I will definitely visit again on my next trip to Canada.

Vibrant cafe with nice outdoor seating during the warmer seasons. They make a mean cuppa joe and the Eggs Benedict is pretty good, served with a silky hollandaise and perfectly smoked salmon. Unfortunately, the ratio of the cheddar cornbread to the eggs and sauce is off and youre left with extra cornbread. The good news is that they top up your coffee to wash it all down!

We ordered Mocha and Matcha Latte with almond milk. They tasted good and were served with barista s artwork. For breakfast, we ordered Ricotta Pancakes and Huevos Rancheros. Pancakes tasted amazing.

Had brunch with our team. Very popular cafe located in The Kerr Street Village of Oakville. The restaurant was busy, packed actually. So given how busy it was, I take that into consideration when the service is a bit off. The food and presentation was excellent! I had the huevos rancheros and it was delicious! Everyone enjoyed their brunch and we had a great time. Again, the restaurant was packed solid so the service was a little slow and there was some confusion with our orders. The restaurant was very loud, but it was brunch so I get it. I hope to go back on a quieter day. Thank you!

I went to Kerr St cafe with a friend on a busy good Friday and the service was phenomenal! We did have to wait because it was busy, but usually with restaurants the quality of the food served suffers a little in order to increase efficiency to get guests served. Not with Kerr St!! The food tasted delicious, the presentation was stunning and our server was very efficient and checked up frequently. The only reason it s not a perfect 5 star is because I wish the portions were bigger. It s reasonably priced but you definitely need to order more than just one item off the brunch menu to feel satiated.

This was my second time here with my son again. We had brunch on a Sunday. There was a wait, of course, because everyone loves the atmosphere and food here. The wait wasnt long at all, and the hostess was so nice and attentive. So the last time.my son ordered the kids grilled cheese w a side of bacon and his hot chocolate that comes w a single huge marshmallow. He absolutely loves the hot chocolate. He wasnt too keen on the grilled cheese. They use a thicker cut bread, which isnt the best option for kids because the crust was thick n crunchy. They used a similar thick crust egg bread type for the french toast that he got this time. Again, i dont think its the best choice for bread, not even I wanted to eat it after tasting it. The bread is so thick, so the egg mixture didnt soak into it. Which made the inside kind of bland. It came w a side of fruit, which was great for kids. I order the same thing every time. Cornbread w the smoked salmon, which can never go wrong w I eat every bite. Corn bread is the perfect amount of sweet and savory, and the greens w the salmon is jus chefs kiss. Will definitely be back to try their pancakes next time!

We drive in from Toronto to have breakfast here on the weekend! Cornbread benny is 100/10. I always get their hot sauce with it and my goodness it s good. Fingerling potatoes are perfectly crispy on the outside and buttery inside. Pancakes are hearty. I don t usually like lemon curd but theirs with the combo of blueberry and mascarpone is divine. Coffee!!!! It s rich, bold, smooth. Not a cheap cup at all but worth the splurge. After our bellies are full I make sure to grab a few muffins and raid their freezer for prepared meals. I don t think I ever ate something here and it was just okay. Parking is available on the street or back of the building. It can be tight but there s always a spot somewhere. Worst case we park down the street and take a nice stroll down Kerr. The space inside is bright, not too much noise, cozy. Grateful to Kerr Street Cafe for helping to kick start our Sundays. Vegetarian options: They have a tempting mushroom toast that I have my eye on. They have a few vegan options that never disappoint Kid-friendliness: Staff are always sweet with our little one.

Cute little restaurant.. service was nice and the food came out at a good time. I was not a fan of the potatoes, they tasted really bland. I think some seasoning would have done them well, they also appeared to be a little undercooked. As for the salad, would be nice if it came in its own little bowl on the plate. The bread didn t have any butter and big kicker is that they charge for hot sauce. I love hot sauce and I ve been to plenty of restaurants and this is probably one of the first places I ve been to that charge for hot sauce. They probably charge for butter too.
