What a great place to have breakfast! They had interesting flavours that I have not really seen anywhere else. I had the pear and bacon waffle . It was perfect not too sweet. We also ordered the avocado toast which was a hit

I'm thrilled they opened an Eggspectation in Kanata! I've always loved their breakfast, but it was only available downtown before. This location is much more beautiful and the staff are very friendly. The Sunshine and All-American are my go-to favorites! This location has ample parking, although it does fill up with Ford employees on weekdays.

The food here was amazing. We had the chicken and waffles, breakfast tacos and French toast flambe. My favourite was the French toast. The maple butter on the waffles was so good. The portion sizes were great. Would come here again to try more dishes.

Absolutely loved everything about this restaurant. I have been there 3 times now trying to sample different items from the menu and it doesn't disappoint. The music is modern but not too overwhelming. The decor gives a "French" meets "modern vibes. That adds to overall ambience and dining experience.

Fantastic , welcoming place! Plenty of parking! Was greeted straight away, food came in quickly. Food was delicious! Always looking for breakfast places and this will be my new go to! The atmosphere is great, not dull, great music and not load so you can’t hear yourself. We will be back!

Very nice to have Eggspectation in the west end. This location is nice and the staff are very friendly. Personally I am not a big fan of traditional "breakfast food", so it's nice when you can get "lunch" items in the morning, I am happy. This bumps them up my rating scale :) Today I tried the Ultimate BLT, and it was very good. The addition of avocado adds a creamy texture that is often missing from other BLTs. We'll return at some point to try some of their other menu items.

My wife and I planned to go to eggspectation downtown, but we were happy to see the new location had opened up near by. The food was great, as well as the service. The potato’s were a nice surprise for me, and stacked between the pancakes was bacon and sausage. The maple syrup comes in a big bottle so you can measure with your heart how much you want. We will be coming back for sure!

This place is a complete disaster when it comes to management, regardless of the quality of their food. Drivers are forced to wait up to 30 minutes just to pick up orders, which is highly unprofessional and disrespectful to their time. The establishment shows no regard for the rights of drivers or the challenges they face trying to earn a living. They seem only concerned with their own profits, while completely ignoring the struggles and time constraints of delivery drivers. It s unfair and unacceptable. This kind of mismanagement reflects poorly on the business and leaves a terrible impression.

Poor Management. Set down for 30 mins and nobody came for water or ask for drinks. So we just left

The place is in complete disarray. Staff are just standing around. Servers try to memorize orders/ write on their hands, and still mess up or completely forget. Won t be back. Food

Great place, clean, food was amazing. Unfortunately there was a lack of professionalism and good service. The girl that served Us didn t know menu options and prices, then she brought me wrong order. Also, took her more than 15 minutes to bring is a bill chatting with her co-worker as she forgot to finalize the order. I was late to work because all of this.

We had a wonderful brunch at Expectation on our mommies and daughters day. Celine, our waitress, was exceptional! She was incredibly attentive, prompt, and ensured we had everything we needed. Her friendly demeanor and professionalism made our experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Celine, for making our special day so delightful!

Visited on the Grand opening morning. Was quite busy but we didnt have to wait for a table. The restaurant itself was lovely with nice decor. Service was friendly and quick. The food itself was a little underwhelming, there wasnt anything very unique about the menu. Would still visit again to give it another shot.

We just ordered nearly $120 for breakfast and only received a little over half my order. Phone does not work when I try to call.

I cannot rate anything because we only sat there waiting for over 10 mins being ignored. We left and went to Coras where we were served instantly. Thank you Cora for great service, food and atmosphere!

To spend $40 on breakfast for one person, the quantity is so low. I definitely didn t get two eggs either.

November 22, 2024

This restaurant s Kanata s location is so contrary to the downtown location . Very expensive and every thing is an up-charge. $14 for 4 regular coffee even though we had 4 entrees. $6.50 for salad and gluten free bread instead of fries and regular bread. Half a chicken breast in an entree club sandwich order - $23 An absolute rip-off for food that is not even gourmet

I can t say enough good things about Eggspectation Kanata! From the moment I walked in, the bright, happy atmosphere instantly put me in a great mood. It s the kind of place where you feel welcome right away. The menu is thoughtfully crafted, and everything I tried was fresh and bursting with flavor. The staff were so warm and attentive, making the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable. This has quickly become one of my go-to spots for an amazing brunch. I m already planning my next visit!

Service was terribly slow, we waited for 15 minutes just to try to get coffee, and had to ask twice for a server to take our order. French toast was cold. Regular toast is cold and the slices are unbelievably small. You get 1 piece of toast with your order, and a second slice of toast will set you back another $3. Wont be back. Overpriced for what you get.

Great atmosphere and good/friendly service. We ordered the staple eggs and bacon, but the bacon was on the cold side (didnt seem like it was fired recently). Pancakes were very good and maple syrup was provided :). Service gave ketchup that wasnt opened, and they hadnt asked if we wanted coffee (but we did order mimosas - I wouldnt order the black current mimosas again). Rather on the expensive side. Convenient location but may or may not return.

Great food . Friendly staff. Noisy chairs when trying to move them :) Food preparation can be a little faster but it s ok if you re not in a hurry And to end the review with an awesome friendly manager Food : 5/5

September 22, 2024

First off, it s important to note that this location is nothing like the one downtown. That one has a largely egg-focused menu, as you might expect, and warm, charming, quiet ambiance. This place has blaring music and looks like Satan s Apple Store. Not necessarily a problem, just not what you might expect. Ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich on artisanal brioche bun . The sandwich arrived on a bun with charred grill lines and otherwise completely frozen solid. Literally rock hard frozen. I can t imagine how this made it out of the kitchen. The server offered a coupon for 10% off a future visit, which I declined. The meal was not comped or discounted in any way.

As a frequent customer of Eggspectations downtown Ottawa location, I was eager to visit their new spot in Kanata. Im happy to say that this new location exceeded my eggspectations . The parking area is spacious, making it easy to access, and the ambiance inside is clean and well-organized, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The food, as always, was beyond fantastic, and I was pleasantly surprised by the new menu offerings. I decided to try the Smoked Salmon Benedict, and it did not disappoint. The combination of the lemon cream cheese and the croissant was simply divine, adding a fresh twist to a classic dish. Eggspectation in Kanata is definitely a place to add to your list for Sunday brunch in Ottawa. Whether youre a regular or a first-time visitor, youre in for a treat! :)

Went there with the family and everything was amazing, great food and friendly staff, kids liked it so much they were making plans for what they would eat the next time:) Dietary restrictions: One of the family members is lactose intolerant and there were no issues modifying things to suit. Kid-friendliness: The fancy juicer on the counter had the kids mesmerized with how it worked and even more so when they tasted what came out of it
