Unlike any other breakfast place, the best Boom location for sure. The atmosphere and service are unmatched. My partner and I go every week and everything we have tried has been some of the best breakfast food you can get! They go the extra step at this location and it really shows, great work Boom at Eglington!

No reservations so you'd think there'd be a waitlist, where they take your name. But no, there's a single host who apparently remembers the order in which people come in and their party size. Great if he's there. Not so great if he's not. Took a while to get seated but breakfast was excellent.

We live close by, but it was our first time here and it was great! It took 25 min for our food to arrive, however we were not in rush so that’s totally fine. Salmon Benedict is mouthwatering and to my surprise, guys, waffles! 🧇 get them! I usually don’t got for sweets, but those waffles were out of the world, extremely fluffy and fresh. We loved it!

Came for brunch on Halloween morning. It was busy and it seemed that they were missing a pair of hands, however, David from kitchen gave us one of the best service I had in a long time. Great attitude, amazing energy and overall a nice guy. Good job amigo!

Second time coming to boom, first time was over 8 years ago! Came with a buddy and sat on the patio on a Saturday morning. The server was great, friendly and gave us a lot of good recommendations! I got a Benny with home fries and it was yummy 😋 def would come back if I'm in the area!

I went to brunch here with my sister and it was amazing! A little bit of a wait for food but so so worth it! Our server Anna was incredible! Lovely crew there altogether! Their Eggs Florentine was delicious!

Boom is a charming place with very tasty food. An environment for those who want to meet up with friends, have breakfast with others or alone. The restaurant is next to Eglinton Park and has close access to the bus terminal and metro station, as well as an easy stop for taxis and other transport. The place does not have adequate accessibility for customers using wheelchairs or walkers, as there is no space for tables for chairs or space for walkers. Additionally, the lower hall has. a small staircase for access and access to the toilets is also provided by stairs, in addition to the absence of adapted toilets. For those with children, they have some highchairs for feeding. It is important to emphasize that it is not about arriving and entering. You need to wait a few moments for the tables to be organized and for the person in charge to come and guide you. For spring and summer days, they have a deck outside. Friendly and quick service at the table, and food is usually served very quickly! Tasty food, well presented and wonderful coffee. It's very worth knowing.

Good food, good service, and good atmosphere! We just moved in Toronto and we are so excited that we have this restaurant in our neighborhood. The food was super good, and my steak was cooked perfectly. I also like their bread and potato edges. The atmosphere was great and their patio looks fantastic! The portions were bigger than we expected, and the price was decent. Definitely will be back soon.

Easily one of the best breakfast spots in the Yonge-Eglinton area. My partner and I have tried most of the items on this list, and I dont think there is a single thing Ive disliked. The staff are friendly, efficient, and welcoming. Highly, highly recommend!

The waitresses are mean, rude and unpleasant. The management appears to be clueless. Maybe this might give them a clue. I was there on the weekend with my toddler, newborn and wife. We stood at the door for a while. No one walked by or spoke to us, until we saw a waitress pass near by so I waved (hello) only have her stop look me dead in the eye and the most aggressive rude way possible said the host will be right with you okay and he will seat you We wanted to leave right there and then, however we had just parked we have kids and werent ready to walk out hop back in the car and go somewhere else. The food wasnt worth the wait either.

I have been going to boom on eglinton ever since they opened. The food is great and plentiful. The whole staff is always very welcoming and friendly. They even give out little snacks to the people that are waiting for a table. They never rush you and always make sure that you had a great time. I highly recommend boom without any reservation.

I recently visited Boom with a few friend, and unfortunately, it was not a pleasant experience. Despite the restaurant not being busy, the service was incredibly slow. We waited over an hour for our food, which was frustrating. When the dishes finally arrived, some were overcooked, which was disappointing. My brunch burger, while flavorful, was too soggy and unappetizing. Overall, the slow service and inconsistent food quality made for a frustrating brunch. I hope they can improve, but I won t be rushing back anytime soon.

Came to Boom breakfast, however the time to get our food was absolutely insane- we waited over 35 minutes for food. For a breakfast place this is crazy. Food was good though but not worth the wait. Also very disappointed with service- we were sitting with empty water glasses for about 20 minutes before waitress came around to refill water.

September 22, 2024

Rude management, they said 15m wait to be seated. we were waiting for half and hour then they said we have to wait another 45m or more because the kitchen is busy.

***UPDATE*** The owner responds to every negative review with insults, which suggests they have no intention of improving the establishment. This behavior reflects the owners attitude toward customer feedback and the quality of the place. ================================================ I have had brunch at this place a couple of times. Each time, I promise myself not to go back, but I end up returning because the brunch, especially the salmon benedict, is incredibly delicious. However, the service here is very poor. The staff just bring you the food without offering any good service, and it often takes 30 minutes to an hour for the food to arrive after you get a table. If you want good service and value your time, DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE

After 7 years of keeping this place on our brunch list, I think this was our last visit. This once-exceptional spot has sadly become like any other diner. They used to make delicious potato wedges with unique flavors and spices, but now, they ve stopped. The charming patio, which was once a highlight, has become unbearably noisy due to a broken AC thats been left unfixed for several years. Its truly disappointing to see how much this place has changed. So sad.

★★★★★
August 22, 2024

This is THE spot to visit. The food is great, everything is seasoned to perfection and they are always great for food accommodations. My favourite dish is the tonys chicken club - great flavours and the shoestring fries are to die for!!! The atmosphere is warm and friendly, a truly one of a kind spot! Patio is clean and fresh. Staff are amazing please keep up the amazing work guys will definitely be back - suzie

Busy for breakfast which is just a sign of how good the food is. Great staff. Had an awesome omelette. May have to wait for a seat. When you leave you have to pay at the front and there could be a line as there is only one cash. Not a huge deal but I mean..

The short gray hair white lady who serves during Saturday mornings is rude and aggresive as hell. We waited for food for close to 30 minutes, and the restaurant was not even packed. I nicely asked her if the food is coming soon, and she was so aggresively saying well its weekend and its busy with the attitude look. Too bad other staffs were nice but this lady is super mean and now I am not going back or recommend because of her.

This is a spot my daughter and I go for brunch now and then, but I am not sure I want to come back. We went today for lunch at 1 pm and we got a table right away. The place was not as busy as other weekends but still the food took a long time to arrive more then half an hour and after I signalled out our waitress. When I paid for the food and was asked how was my meal, I told the lady at the cash counter that it was ok but slow and she just said: oh, is normal with the Sunday rush. I feel they are using the same line, no matter if they are busy or not, no apology.

Boom is an excellent, low-key brunch place with a few locations scattered around GTA. This was our first time here and we loved every part of it. It s unpretentious and the waiters were really friendly and attentive. At no time did we feel rushed even though there were a few groups waiting by the time we left. We both got the High Energy Omelete which had turkey bacon, roasted red peppers, and caramelized onions. There was a good amount of all the ingredients in each bite. It also came with some of the Boom Frites, which were probably the best potato wedges that we ve ever had. Not even joking. They were well seasoned without being overly salty and they had this massive crunch that I m sure the next table could hear and we bit into them. Our waiter came by regularly to make sure to top off our cups of coffee. We will be back again!

Came here at 12pm first , joined waiting list which was supposedly for 30 mins so we gave our numbers and went out. They didn t call us for 45 mins. When we called we were told to come in and for sure were seated. We ordered food at 12:55pm and weren t served until 1:40pm, that was again after checking about the status of our order. Our server forgot to note down the order for coffee despite checking with us on the kind of milk needed in the coffee. My BFF chicken sandwich had chicken nuggets stuffed, the kind I buy from Rabba for my 5 year old - it was a bad and greasy sandwich. So overall bad customer service and bad food. Not recommended!

Im a regular and they treated me not very nicely today. I asked for medium pouched eggs and when she brought my plate over the yolk was running down all over the plate. i said nothing as i go there a lot. They havent been getting my eggs right for a while now, not sure why. The waitress seemed very unhappy from the beginning and picked up the plates while we were still having our last few bites. We still gave her 22% tip hoping that might brighten up her day.

Was excited to try the place, but was unfortunately disappointed. The place was very noisy (how busy it is cant be blamed on the staff, however). The food - when it came - was also not what I expected. My eggs benedict had basically no hollandaise sauce, and the pancakes were undercooked. While I recognize this was likely due to how busy things were, it was still a shame. A saving grace was that the server brought some fruit to occupy our kid who was getting really overwhelmed by how noisy it was, so thank you for that!

Well, Im sad Im writing this, to be honest. Ive come to the Boom almost every weekend to have breakfast by myself. Its always a pleasant experience, the food is great and I like eating alone, what can I say? Anyway, I come in on a busy Saturday morning, I see people waiting. I ask the host if theres a wait-list I can be put on. She says For how many? I say Just one. She looks around and makes a face. She comes back and says they have large groups coming in so theres no space for one. Not even on the wait-list I guess. I textually asked so youre telling me to go away? She said yes, sorry. So here I am, hungry and sad, walking over to the Burger Shack, see if theyll have space for one.

I absolutely love this spot. I have been going here regularly for a while. The eggs are always so good no matter how they re prepared. The hollandaise sauce is so delicious I could bathe in it. The yogurt parfaits are noteworthy too. Everything is so reasonably priced and I ve never been disappointed with the food and the service is stellar too. Everybody is super friendly. Will be back again and again!

The blueberry pancakes are genuinely the best value Ive come across in Toronto vs their taste. Not at all dry and deflated. Unbeatable for the price. Just make sure you use pure maple syrup not the table stuff.

The perfect Sunday brunch! Worth waiting in line for a wonderful treat! California Spa Omelette was so nicely done. The price is quite reasonable considering the volume and quality of the food not to mention the great service. Cant wait to go back!

Came here for brunch and got an eggs Benedict and a smoothie. Everything tasted delicious and service was quick (but they also weren t super packed when I came). The staff here were very friendly and even when they were ready to close, they didn t force us out.

We have been going here for many years. Prices keep raising and food has gotten worse. We had a bad experience recently where there wifi was down and their debit machine and cc was not working. Apparently an ongoing problem in the area. Actually probably a problem with just your resteraunt. We offered them the cash we had on us but that was not enough and told us to go get money out of a bank machine. The owner was very rude and kept telling us this was not her problem no apologies just attitude We will never go back here again. Update to the owners response: Im sorry that your server was upset. We were too because of your hostility and rudeness. Maybe instead of sitting in the back room and allowing your server to deal with this difficult situation, you could have taken a more active role in dealing with this yourself instead of making your server deal with it. You did agree to pay my ATM fee, after I asked. This is probably something you should be volunteering to do for your customers considering how long this situation has been going on for. We have been coming to your resteraunt for years, literally since you first opened. The fact that you did not recognize us is evidence of how oblivious you are to your customers. In fact the last several times we have been in the food quality has taken a turn for the worse and the prices have gone up. The economy is bad but that does not give you the right to overcharge for sub par food. Reading over some of your reviews, it appears that this has been an ongoing issue for MANY months. It does not appear that any of the other business in the area are being affected by this crosslinx internet issue so maybe for the sake of your customers, you can take a more active role in finding a solution to your wifi issues.

Went to Boombreakfast on Eglinton for brunch on the weekend on a recommendation and I m so glad I went. The place has this nice diner feeling and when you walk in, you are greeted by a friendly hostess. Although it gets busy on the weekends, they try really hard to get you seated quickly. When we were seated, our server was both friendly and knowledgeable helpful when you can t decide what to have. I opted for the Monte Christo sandwich served with mixed greens. Now you can have it straight up or if you re feeling sweet a little maple syrup will elevate that sandwich to another level. My friend decided to try their Benny Boom, a smoked salmon Benny and you can have that served with their potato wedges or mixed greens. She went for the wedges and in her words the Benny was devoone . All in all a great brunch and we are definitely coming back. They have so many great dishes to try out. And everyone is so welcoming and that includes the owner who will drop by and say a hello. Oh did I mention that they also bake their own sweets? Absolutely amazing experience, recommending to everyone I know.

Fantastic!!! Visited 2 days in a row with my family of 5. Superb eggs Benedict, omelette...well they enjoyed everything

If only I could give zero stars. This place is such a disaster. During the pandemic we went a couple times to go sit on the patio and were turned away as they were too busy to clean the tables or there were too many flies, rain was expected, excuse after excuse. Called every time beforehand to check if the patio was open multiple times but no one answered. When we got there and complained that no one answers the phone upon arrival (they were open for takeout only), they retorted very rudely that theyre very busy. Went again today after months to give it another shot around 2:30pm as their website explicitly says their hours are 7am to 4pm, but were turned away as they apparently decided to close at 2pm nowadays and just havent bothered to update their website. My mom is elderly and has trouble walking and I live far away, so every time we get turned away, its much more than just a simple disappointment, its a waste of time and is tiring particularly for my mom. We love brunch, but have only managed to actually eat there once. Will definitely never return. Every time weve gotten turned away, we have ended up at Pickle Barrel, which is great, so I would highly recommend that place over Boom any day. Not sure if its the staff or the owner, but i hope they get their act together and stop blaming the pandemic for their poor service. Update: The owner has replied and has lied. We went twice last year and both times the patio was closed due to flies and potential rain. Also, we showed up at 2:30pm recently and were turned away, when the hours posted on their website were until 4pm. However in the owners response they say they are open till 3pm when the waitress told us they were closed at 2:30pm and advised that they were only open until 2pm. Make up your minds. Is it 2pm? 3pm? 4pm? So chaotic. Dont waste your time with this place

Nice atmosphere when you step inside this restaurant, friendly staffs, cozy spot for weekend brunch. Various options to choose from including sandwiches, omelettes, eggs benedict, smoothies, etc. Ordered their signature BLT sandwich (claimed the best BLT sandwich in Toronto) with multi-grains bread (multiple choices for bread, only one option for bagel), signature eggs benedict called Benny Boom i think? And mango smoothie. Overall pretty decent food, however the eggs benedict are overcooked and turned hard, my friend ordered the coffee which she claimed just average, the mango smoothie likewise, not super refreshing, the BLT sandwich is indeed delicious.

**Visited in Aug 2022 ** We have visited this place few times pre-pandemic and its quality/service had detoriated since. Recent visit was a bit too uncomfortable due to a grumpy waitress. She was unhappy about some staff shortage and taking it out on the customers rudely . A couple beside ours with a toddler got spoken rudely and our service was pretty ordinary Food was cold and not as tasty. Boom BF used to be much better before and we would like that to come back 1- Ambience 0.5 - Service 0.5 - Value for money 1 - Taste Vegetarian options: pancakes eggs benny fresh juices

This place was so good. On the outside I would say it could definitely do with some renovations, but it also gives it the homey vibes. Don t get intimidated by the outside because it is so beautiful on the inside and the food is so good. My friend and I went and it was so cheap and the staff was so nice. The only thing that sucks is that there is not much parking and there is so much construction happening on the street. I will definitely go again and recommended it to everyone.

I dined at the Eglinton Ave West location for brunch. At 11 oclock, they were out of bagels which meant I couldnt order my meal of choice. For my second choice, the side that came with the dish was incorrect. When I asked if I could keep the incorrect side while they brought the correct side, I was told no. When they brought the correct side, the potatoes, they were cool to touch and few in number. At the end of the meal, we were waiting for the waiter to come for our payment but no one came. Eventually we read the fine print at the bottom of the bill that said payment must be made at the cash register. Overall, it wasnt a horrible experience but it wasnt a great one either.

If youre a vegetarian, its better to go somewhere else. They have limited options and didnt offer any substitutions for meats (like getting a different side dish instead). The vegetarian wrap was bland and served with squeeze bottle salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. Ambience and service was nice. Vegetarian options: No substitutions were offered (they declined the request) and the wrap was bland. I would recommend going elsewhere if youre vegetarian or with a vegetarian.

By far the worst dining experience since Covid. It all started when one of the workers yelled at my four-year-old son. He was outside standing in front of the door and she came out to give food to the Uber driver and said watch where you re going in a nasty voice. Then they made us wake up my one-year-old baby because they said no strollers were allowed on the patio. They escort us to the patio and the first thing we saw was another stroller. My Son was crying the entire time when he could ve been sleeping during our lunch. Then the waitress gave us a hard time for adjusting the umbrella because we shouldn t touch anything due to Covid and yet they couldn t clean the bathrooms. The food was OK but I have never experienced a more unfriendly hostile environment. Boom! Regarding the owners response, I dont understand what shes referring to regarding compassion to other human beings, but she certainly did not act compassionately when she yelled at my 4 year-old son when she could have simply asked him nicely to move away from the door. I think it is a cop out to blame Covid for your restaurants lack of hospitality and to suggest that your harsh tone is the result of a focus on safety. If it is true that workplace culture tends to stem from the example set by its leadership, I now understand where the unfriendly attitude is coming from.

Went here on a Sunday morning. The line management was terrible and had to waist an hour before being seated despite tables being free. The hostess wouldnt even ask if anyone wanted to be seated outside and everyone ended up just being stood up under the sun and the tables left open. Food was OK but nothing amazing. Sausages and fries were nice but the breakfast steak was extremely dry and chewy and the waffles were mediocre. The coffee was also very bland and they charged for milk which is odd. Overall we paid 120 for 5 people which is rather expensive for the quality of food and service we received I wouldnt recommend this place.

Best breakfast place I have ever been. The food here is very simple and dont expect for anything fancy. But the chefs are amazing and its delicious. After you order the food will be on the table in less then 20 min!! Thats a big bonus. Ive been here 3 times now and its my favorite places to go for good meals. The service there is also fantastic, there friendly and polite. Prices are reasonable for the amount and quality of food. Dont forget to tip them well cuz they all deserve it. Id have my breakfast or brunch here rather then anywhere else and pay good tip instead for going anywhere fancy and paying more for the food and less tip.

Food... no way. Waitress? Nice, kind. Customer Service? Rude, no care. Answering to your reply: I wish your business can fly, but my review stands. It was told that you couldnt run the Moneris while I was already eating. And I told that I could pay only by credit card, first because under pandemic no cash is ever used, secondly if I had cash on hand for my own business and I just kindky asked to come back later to pay by credit card you should find a solution, you said that cannot and you wanted me to walk a block to use an ATM. So, finally you won to made pull my paper bill from my wallet that I use from my own emergency, I just suggest you to BE BETTER. Be polite and seek for solutions to make the customers happy. Cappuccino? Change coffe brand. You can make it! Just with some extra efforts. Good luck. Pancake was good!
