Starving Artist in Toronto

Love this place, I am celiac and I am gratefull for gluten free options! Everything is so delicious! - The only thing the staff could be faster and they should was and polish the glasses better, they smell like dishwasher :(

Omg what happened here now!! I have very good memories 2019. That time everything was clean and service was awesome. Now staff seems like dont care customers, under the table was dirty with food and dirty. I feel sad..

Some of the worst waffles I ve eaten. In hindsight, I should have stopped myself from being lazy and just made my signature Belgian waffles at home instead. I had the fried chicken & waffles, which I understand may or may not have been potato-based, but is that an acceptable excuse to serve dense, unappetizing bricks? The fried chicken was also giving KFC minus the extra grease. On the bright side, the Caesar was enjoyable and spicy (like it should be), and the service was fast.

The food is still decent, but the portions have gotten smaller. I asked our server about the coffee options and sizes. She said We have an expresso machine and you can get a refill - great! I order an American (which wasnt great - maybe check your beans or the strength the machine is set to) Later, during the meal, I ask for the refill and receive it. Upon getting home, I notice I was changed for the refill. Saying you can get a refill implies that it free, doesnt it? I normally wouldnt care, but to get charged extra money without knowing for crap coffee really sucks. Employees need better training and communication skills.

The service was confused. 3 different servers came to ask for drinks while already ordered. One little sad egg, used to be 2. The egg suppose to be poached(boiled in water), not put in a mold when cooking and comes like a pie. My guests egg did not even run when cut open, was solid. If a chef cannot make a proper egg, what kind of chef is that? The salad was drained in oil and wasnt even fresh. There was dead leaves in there. Disappointed is the least I can say.

The food and service were delightful. Everything is served on potato waffles. I had the B.Benny: 2 potato waffles topped with poached eggs caramelized bacon & hollandaise sauce. Garnished with chives.

The food is extremely good and the service is good however the smell of the server is really strong and disgusting. She was attentive but place the is small and her smell was all over the place

Food is very fresh and delicious

You can share the food since it comes a lot. Servers are very nice.

$11.50 for two americanos gfys

Just dropped in a little hungry and was pleasantly surprised. Delicious waffle dishes. Unbelievable salad.

Great food. Friendly staff. If you love waffles this place is for you. Id recommend the waffle bacon!

Overhyped and overrated. The service was great but the potato waffles are just dense and flavourless. The maple beans are watery. The dirty chai was overly spiced with cinnamon.

My recent experience with this restaurant wasn t good at all and will never come back again. I had breakfast here several times and I was always satisfied with the food quality and their customer service but this time the food quality wasn t what I experienced before and it got worse for sure. Also, there was a serious miscommunication issue with the customers when it came to taking your order. I got completely a different thing than I ordered and had to spend 10 minutes explaining what I exactly wanted.

Went here for lunch with friends. Food is awesome! I had Eggs Benedict Sammy on potato waffle. It was so good! Highly recommend trying it! Food

Everything was less than decent, the food tasted industrial, the coffee is horible, and the worst part is that they dont even have real maple syrup, in a waffle place in Canada. Wont come back again. Food

Went for brunch here this morning!! Really good waffles. I had the bacon egg and avo one and my partner had the jerk chicken sandwich. Both were wonderful!! Will definitely go back :)

Wheelchair accessibility: Need a front ramp for accessibility Food

It was amazing the waffles were delicious very fluffy and very big but not thick the peanut butter one is awesome I loved it. Very cheep 15$ for 4 big waffles. The only thing is that the decor isn t to everyone s liking I loved the place 10/10 would recommend if ur looking for waffles in Toronto.

The service was excellent. The presentation of each plate..beautifully plated.. waffles were delicious. We are from central Ontario, will definitely be back when in Toronto!! Just a suggestion have maple syrup as side option!!! If you have not been, you gotta go there! We spent $100+ however we were five and all had tea or coffee..lattes included! Vegetarian options: Vegan option waffle and fruit was delicious..abundance of fruit..strawberries, blueberries, bananas, pineapple, watermelon,, so good! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegan options..

I had been to the one on College street and this location has just as amazing food. Lovely staff I highly recommend the potato waffles with eggs Benedict

Great eggs benny. Good coffee and excellent waffles. Stay for the Pie shake

Vegan waffles werent great, they were undercooked.

Shock... and then Awe! Ive enjoyed this location a handful of times with my kids. Yesterday was interesting.. I used the Ritual app to pick a breakfast sandwich for after my gym workout. Saw a few options, called in and walked over. When I paid, I felt slightly shocked at the price, for what I THOUGHT I was getting to eat, the Western sandwich... Then I got back to my car, feeling the HEFT of the bag on my way out, and opened up the BIGGEST sandwich my eyes have seen in a while. Seriously! From the double rectangular waffles, to the eggs and additional ingredients, I was VERY satisfied. Very. The side of fresh fruit, salad and delightful nature of the owner and chef at an off-peak time was great as always. And the americano was superb. Ill have to find out the beans they use, smooth as silk. So, price/sticker shock caught me off guard, but well worth every penny!!

It used to be good.

Went there for sunday brunch before it got too busy and were seated right away. Our server was very sweet, offered us substitutions for our friend with dietary restrictions and the food arrived promptly. The food was good, though my partners fried chicken was a bit soft and mushy. A bit stale but we brought it home to pop in the air fryer . The restaurant is quite loud and can be a sensory overload for some, but we still enjoyed our visit. Vegetarian options: Some veggie options, and substitutions are offered. Dietary restrictions: Not many gluten free options, but good veggie options. Servers very accomodating Parking: The parking situation can be tricky during busy hours, street paid parking on a side street if lucky. Wheelchair accessibility: Not the most accessible due to narrow aisles and cramped floor

The food wasnt great. Nice service. Got chicken waffles - not great. I did enjoy the smoothie. The potato waffle was mash potatoes cooked in a waffle maker.

Small, quaint and comfortable environment. Friendly, attentive staff, great food. Some of the best Benedict s I ve had. Been to the other locations before but this one is my fav one thus far. Going again this week Food : 5/5

Had the strawberry cheesecake dessert waffle and matcha latte! Me and a friend went on a Monday morning so it was definitely not as busy as it would be on a weekend maybe, so the service was super fast and efficient. Food was delicious too! Will definitely be returning another time. It was worth the commute

The atmosphere is very good, the service is very good. The food looks pretty , but it s not tasty. Food

Delicious waffles. Waffle Benny was great.

Great brunch place in a nice neighbourhood! I had their Hitchhiker signature breakfast and really enjoyed the potato waffles & caramelized bacon.

The service was excellent. The person who served was quick to read the table. The person waiting at our table knew exactly what to recommend to a vegetarian. It made making a choice very easy. The potato waffles were delicious and I would definitely come back for more of those.

The Nepali server girl is so helpful!!

- Great family Brunch spot. The one great thing about this place is that they are open during public holidays and long weekends! When the others are closed, Starving Artist is always open!! Thank you! This is a waffle factory!! Tonnes of different waffles - delicious and very different! Their service is awesome, and this place is a favorite for kids , for sure! Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available

One of the best food we had! And they were gluten free!!! Just make sure you come hungry so you can enjoy it all :) Food : 5/5

Overall there was nothing special here. Despite being a waffle place their waffles were just mediocre. At least the prices were all reasonable

Good food. Noise and loud music

Good

Delicious food! I enjoyed the Sammy Benny on Potato waffles. Odd way to serve hot tea in a glass, but their selection of tea was nice.

There s multiple locations but this place is always busy for brunch. Their waffle is always great, the potato waffle is pretty much like a mashed potato made into waffle shape. Both the sammy benny and b.benny were good choices, all the dishes comes with side salad, and option of either maple beans, fruit salad, or potato salad. Pricewise is a bit on a tad higher side, but would definitely come back once in a while for brunch!

Superb Salmon Eggs Benedict

Absolutely beautiful scenery, delicious waccles wrapped in bacon, and a wonderful Nutella Latte. Bathrooms smelled like a pool (chlorine wise) but otherwise nice. Staff was amazing and Id recommend this place in a heartbeat! Parking: Literally no cars in street parking in front of restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: This place is NOT wheelchair accessible, as there are 2 stairs to enter the premises

Excellent service, amazing food, relaxing environment. Very please with the food and friendly respectful staff.

If you like brunch you cant miss this place

Great waffle brunch restaurant! If youre a waffle lover, you will love this place. Its everything waffle! Foods are good(including their sides). Good black coffee. Kind service! Make sure to try their dessert waffle too! Wont regret. I would prob pass on their benny and try something more exotic next time. My friends waffle sandwich was bombb!

Everything waffles! They also play kids movies and TV shows on two wall mounted televisions. Perfect for keeping the kids entertained during breakfast.

Great food, good service. It was super busy but I think its expected when you go to a nice brunch place.

Had a quick lunch during the week, ordered eggs benny on potato waffles and it was DELICIOUS. Everything was fresh and nicely portioned (fruits, salad). Im a vegetarian so the option to swap the bacon for avocado was a win! Would love to see more veggie options in the menu, but honestly the eggs benny won my heart. They also had some amazing artwork on display with the artists name and prices for the pieces, which I found to be a great idea! Overall - Highly recommend! Vegetarian options: Swap bacon for avocado or tomatoes in any dish for free

Not a bad atmosphere. Lots of 3D art on the walls and open concept. Food was okay. Overall okay restaurant. Spent about 40$ for two filling meals and a Pepsi. There is only street parking.

Called in our take-out order at 8:30am for pick-up at 11am and have been waiting almost an hour. Yes, it s Mother s Day, but a much larger order placed after us got their food first and we are still waiting. Disappointing service. Do not recommend.

Delicious breakfast! I chose the B. Benny and it was so good. The portion is great and you probably will be full until a late dinner lol the place has great outdoor space as well. Also, note that they apparently only accept debit, so be prepared :D overall, a great brunch place and is highly recommended! Update: I tried this place a few more times but the last time that I went there, it took them a long time to make our brunch ready and there was a problem with our order as well (wrong order to the wrong person). Also, the waffles were somehow burnt which I didn t like it. I change my rating from 5 to 3!

It took 50 minutes to bring an order of two dishes. When they showed up, the benedict eggs were overcooked. There is just one thing they had to deliver on, and they missed big time

I truely enjoy this place delivery and in person . A real gem

Had the brunchwich, it was excellent served with salad and fruit. Great place for brunch or breakfast. Really liked the atmosphere and service was friendly :)

Lovely staff. Food mediocre at best. Poached eggs done well. Potato salad is from Costco Potato waffles definitely from a box. My friend s bacon wasn t crisp. $3 for an extra egg or avocado. Lol. I can get an entire dozen eggs for that price.

Variety of choices can be find in the menu. I would recommend this place if you are a fan for waffles. Very casual and cosy ambience.

Fantastic service, perfect location and a really great, fun menu. The kids loved it and we did too!

If you come when it s not busy, it is awesome. When you come when it s busy it s like any other place; you will have to wait but if you love waffles, this is the place to go. Lovely staff and service. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Just moved to TO. Was waiting for the vet clinic to open and popped in for a latte to go. One of the best lattes Ive had. Will have to return to try the menu. Thanks!

Awesome food and great staff. Happy every time I come here.

Took 15 minutes to come and take the order, we waited another 50 minutes and only our coffees came! And wasn t tasty at all, don t waste your time

Just a series of bad experiences here, took close to 15min to place our order after I had to call the waitress, then waited another 50mins and all they brought was a flavourless latte which was all foam, looking at the kitchen you could tell they are a mess they were just taking tickets moving them around not much food was coming out. Now I know why it s called the starving artist, the food never gets served.

Great little brunch spot for waffle lovers or the waffle-curious! Vegan and gluten-free options are marked on the menu. I dont eat a lot of grains, so I had the Eggs Benedict on potato waffles which, I discovered, were basically just mashed potatoes pressed and browned into mini-waffle shapes in a waffle iron. Worked for me! My companion had the salmon benedict on traditional mini-waffles, which they also enjoyed. Strawberry cheesecake waffle for dessert gets two thumbs up; tasty and big enough to share if youre already full. The ambiance is very Basic Diner, but thats appropriate to the menu. They also have a nice outdoor dining area set up on Mount Pleasant in season, but warning Mount Pleasant traffic can be LOUD.

Fantastic place! So many waffle options to choose from, breakfast, bacon to sweet dessert ones. Not only are they delicious but they also look amazing. Will go again for sure! Located at a lively strip of Mt Pleasant Road. Update 2023: still great, tasty food and friendly staff.

Tasty waffles, great service, recommended!

Food was really good except the potato salad was a bit sweet and creamy for me - just personal taste I guess. Loved the fact that I could sub avocado for bacon! Service was friendly and efficient. We ate inside. It seemed clean enough but its really bare bones. The thing that bothered me most was the blaring of music that a 16 y/o girl would listen to. Its okay but after a few songs it was too much. Would choose patio next time to avoid the teeny bopper music. Vegetarian options: You can take any menu item and substitute bacon for avocado

The menu is highly unique. Everything is waffle-based, wherein more than half of the menu is based with potato waffles and the 1/3 with regular waffles. The potatoes are shaped like waffles! Wild. The patio was nice and fenced off with a net, ensuring bugs were not bugging the customers. The service was subpar, however. We were asked if we were okay way too many times. The staff were extremely quiet and awkward. Otherwise, a great experience food-wise. Will try another location!

The waffles are amazing, just a little bit disagree with the milkshake, but decent still The service was amazing anyway Food

First time going here after living in the hood for 8 years. Our go-to brunch spot has always been Hazels. But we tried this place today. The food was good, but the plating was odd. I ordered the chocolate chip cookie waffles with fruit, and it randomly came with a vinegarette salad, which just felt very out of place, and got dressing in the whipped cream part of my waffles. The service was awkward and atrocious. Our server spilled a bunch of chocolate sauce on my legs and just stood there, totally shocked, before finally bringing me one extra napkin. Mid meal, unprovoked, she came back with a serving tray only to swat the wasps around us and on our table without actually saying anything. I finally told her the wasps are fine (there were only 2 or 3). Thinking in my mind her doing this is only going to make them angry. Then she came back again and told me there was something in my smoothie, a wasp, which I knew, but then proceeded to just stand there awkwardly, no offer to replace it. I finally said its fine. I feel like she was just very new at life, let alone a serving job. But it was enough of a turn off, and the food wasnt good enough, for me to want to go back there. Hazels, it is!

What a lovely concept in our neighbourhood. Amazing potato waffles; amazing art even just to look at.

The dilemma: we had the most lovely, kind, caring young server who was the most wonderful human and yet the most disgusting meal ever. I make waffles at home all the time, and these were almost inedible - sickly aromatic of fake vanilla that overtakes the savory components, strangely mealy and undercooked, and scrambled eggs that were questionable at best. Even my toddler who LOVES waffles kept rubbing her nose and declining these. I get that maybe the masses don t get homemade waffles and might not know better, but if you re used to the good stuff, it s not worth it. It s a shame. The lady was sooooo nice. I m still cringing from the smell of these waffles. Kid-friendliness: Patio is a great kid-friendly option, but there s no way in during the other 9 months of the year as there are steps and no ramp.

An honest review for a terrible experience. I m usually easy going but everything about my experience was bad. Heard a lot of good things about this restaurant. None of them were true. Service took forever. Food took a long time to come out too. Servers didn t know who they were serving to. Two different servers asked for our order after we already ordered. Considering it was busy, i understand food will take time. But that was way too long. Food came out dry and bland with missing toppings that were listed which was a first for me. Asked for sauce, server clearly agreed, never came. She continued to serve the table next to us. Went inside to grab the ketchup myself and server start to cash me out when I clearly asked for ketchup again. Not sure why she would even do that. And by then all my was insanely cold. I do not recommend.

AMAZING FOOD ITS THE BEST

This was the absolute worst restaurant experience I have ever had in my entire life. I was planning on getting the grilled cheese waffle but did not want something sweet. I asked the waitress if the waffle was going to be sweet and she said no. I did ask again as I said I would want to get something else since I m not feeling like eating something sweet and she assured me that it we be to my liking. Eventually she came with the food and low and behold, it was sweet and honestly tasted quite terrible. This is not what I was expecting to eat and I was extremely disappointed. I spoke to our server (this time a boy came to the table) all I asked was if it would be possible to replace the food or get a refund. He later came with a fruit bowl which we thought was complimentary. Soon after we were very rudely greeted by who I can only assume was the manager. She was absolutely the most rude and aggressive person I have ever encountered. She told me that I should not have ordered something I knew I wouldn t like and that no one ever would have done what I did. She said that she herself would ve never ordered food that she thought would ve tasted bad and even if she did she d silently eat it and/or take it home. Honestly, I was appalled by her attitude. I didn t even get a word in and she just constantly kept attacking me and saying if I wanted a refund so badly she was going to take it out of our servers pay and that we had to pay for the second fruit bowl that we didn t even ask for. Eventually she came and made a big deal about cutting the price out. I ended up paying for it regardless since I didn t want it coming out of the poor servers pay, especially since they have such a wretched boss to deal with. We ended up leaving quite a hefty tip too. I hope she s learned her lesson from that but she was honestly one of the most infuriating people I ve ever had the unfortunate fate of meeting. There s absolutely no words to describe how vile and obscenely she had acted towards us. Would NEVER go back here again.

Good food. They do a take on eggs Benny with a waffle, its interesting. Waffles is there thing. The other location is dog friendly, so you can bring your dog while you eat. Parking: Difficult parking

Everything was great - special mention for the spicy omelet !!

Their brunch is very good. It s always busy there so be prepared for a waiting list.

I had no idea potato waffles were a thing until I came here, and now I am dreaming of having potato waffles again. The service was great and the good was unique and so delicious. Especially the potato waffles!

Everything here is awsome. Its definitely a must try if you havent been here before. 5 star all the way

Great food and location

I always order from Starving Artist from home which is a different chain location(Kipling). Today I ordered from the work office which the Mt Pleasant branch caters to, I ordered the Fully Loaded Waffle like I always do and it was one of the worst food experiences i have had- The bacon that is garnished on top of the waffle is all dark and burnt. First i thought maybe its just the colour and then when i took a bite, it felt like biting and overburnt toast. Made me lose my appetite immediately. Just a simple thing as the bacon garnish which was obviously way overcooked i am not sure how they mistakenly missed that and genuinely believe it was a purposeful negligence by the chef. I truly love the meal generally and I have invested so much money in the business so thats why it saddens me to write such a review and im not proud to say it but i am not going to further invest any money into this business. This is also on Christmas eve so thank you so much for whoever made that waffle for me thank you for ruining my brinch. I think you shouldnt be allowed to cook food as a business. It takes maybe 2 minutes to make another bacon if you burnt it.

Nice vibe. Decent espresso. Great waffle. Incredible potato waffle! Highly recommend the potato waffle. Tasty and unique.

All good, no complaints. Food, drinks and service.

Props to the single server there that was very busy but was super attentive to all the tables!

Very good concept food was ok, the servers were sweet but could clearly notice they needed more workers as staff seems to be spread too thin

As much as I LOVE how bright the colors are and how good the food actually looks, I was disappointed by the menu choices. If you just want chicken, the options are less as everything either comes with bacon or other meat. Since I didnt want other meat, I ordered Sammy Benny which contains salmon. Im not a fan of salmon, so I was even more disappointed that it was delicious enough for me to forget it was salmon. Fruits were good, sauce was good, and salad was average. I was disappointed by the main course itself. Please add more JUST CHICKEN choices on the menu. Id love to order from the new menu. Till then, I wont be ordering anything else.

I order « brunchwhich » with bacon, fruit salad and avocado. Still looking for my bacon fortunately the waffles were tasty and the smoothie has raised the level

You must eat here, the waffles are sooooo good, the Benedict eggs also, everything is amazing, great service also, very affordable prices, great amount of food, perfect place for breakfast or even lunch, once of my favorite spots in town

Potato waffles are by far my favourite but the sides on this location were just OK . Salad was missing dressing other than that it was pretty good! Service was pretty average. I m not sure if I ll be coming back to this location.

original, delicious, good service

The vegan waffles was good.

I went there with a friend to try their brunch and I really enjoyed their savoury potato waffles. The portions are very good and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Amazing place for a Saturday or Sunday brunch. Great food. Friendly staff, always buzzing but not in an intrusive way.

Make sure to check out this amazing place! Great ambience, friendly staff and delicious food. My personal favourite is the B Benny!

What a charming place! Very nice potato waffles Benedict with bacon. Next time I will have a sweet one!

Craving waffles? Here s it! Don t look more

Great place to go if you are in the mood for waffles. They have lots of creative ways of presenting waffles that you normally wouldnt think of but somehow they work.

We ordered the b Benny and we re pretty disappointed. The waffles are made from mashed potatoes and we re not crispy in the slightest. Between the poached eggs that seem to be cooked in a mold of some sort and the soft waffle, soft green salad and baked beans there was virtually no textural contrast. Towards the end I was choking back the food. The flavours were good but the texture really threw me off so much so that I will not return. Seemed like a mass produced chain restaurant. Did not live up the expectations.

Great food. Cash or debit only!

The waffles are great but thats about it. Poached eggs were overcooked and bacon was undercooked.

Nice place, good food!

Horrible service, we had no idea who our server even was, we were never checked on. It took almost an hour for us to get our drinks (cappuccino) which came out after our food did. The food was such a letdown, the chicken looked like it came from across the street at Subway. Save your money and go somewhere else.

I was very disappointed as after waiting for more then a half hour for someone to take our order, they took an hour to get the first plate. We waited 20 minutes to get the next plate. We never got the third plate or the order of bacon. Even though we waited for so long there was no free refills on the coffee. When we gave up and asked for the bill, they did not give an itemized bill to be able to really know what we were paying for. When we asked, sure enough we were paying for items we never received. This was very deceitful on their end. I will never return.

Slow service. The waffle was nice, but everything besides the waffle wasnt the best. Only espresso coffee, which some people like but not what I want for brunch.

Foods wasn t that great, better off going somewhere else for Eggs Benedict

Went there for Sunday brunch and the food was good but attention was lackluster. The place was clearly understaffed.

Consistently good food. The potato waffles are so so good.

Small space, more order than they can handle, some staff very rude (little brown skin girl). I hope that little girl be fired. She embarrassed me in front of other people. She is just less than one third of my age.

Potato Benny is my go to. Street patio is fairly pleasant in the spring/summer. Staff will sometimes get your order wrong and service can be slow, but overall really great spot!

Had a great bruch experience at Starving Artist. The staff was friendly and helpful and the patio was covered. It was my first time taking my youngest (14 months) to a restaurant and it was a very child friendly establishment. They had a high chair and brought out paper and crayons for him to draw. And he was a big fan of the mini waffles and fruit plate. The portions were generous and the potato waffles were delicious! Would definitely go back.

The service was a little slow, but the food was absolutely amazing. Thank you for making the start of my fathers day amazing.

Love this place! Great Customer Service and the food was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place.

Best brunch ever! I m passionate for these potatoes waffles. I could eat it everyday rs

Great ambience and waffles. Good portions so you need to be really hungry .

Food took a while to come and when it came they got the order wrong. It was okay tasting but trying to get the attention of the servers was a pain. I usually like this place but I don t think I will be returning!

Got the B. Benny eggs benedict which is served on potato waffles. The potato waffle is basically mashed potatoes put into a waffle iron. Didn t really taste anything special, could ve used more seasoning. The eggs also came overdone (no runny yolk). They don t accept credit so cash or debit only. Service was courteous. I probably won t be back for brunch but I may give their sweet/dessert waffles a chance in the future.

Great waffles!

Good brunch spot

I need a good feedin of waffles from time to time! Very tasty with options 8 have never considered before...

If you like waffle, you d probably rate this at 5 stars. But if you don t, just find another place (Hazel s Diner is a couple of doors down). I like waffle enough so I will give this 4 stars. I had the Bacon-Egg-Avocado toast with fruits. Portion is very good, also includes a side salad with vinaigrette. Tastes good but I wish that there a little bit more bacon and probably just one waffle or have this on waffle minis instead. Overall, not too bad.

Called beforehand for vegan options and I was told they had a vegan waffle Benny . Long story short, the waiter told us a lot of things were vegan in the menu - they weren t. The only think I could eat out of the menu was the gluten free waffle (dear God those are BAD) with coarsely chopped veggies and no sauce. Honestly I don t even care if the restaurant doesn t want to have veg options in the menu, but don t waste my time and serve me disgusting food. Extremely disappointed.

I really like this place, most of dishes are made with waffles, and they also offer gluten-free. Food is simple, but its good, nothing too fancy. Staff is very friendly & knowledgeable. I would recommend Starving Artist Eglinton! Vegetarian options: Gluten free and vegan options.

Get the waffles benny!

Always used to come here during my short lunch breaks for school (40 minutes). The quality of the food was surprisingly good considering how quick the service was. Gotten multiple different meals and I have to say, none of them have failed to amaze me. Been to many locations around the city but this one will always resonate in my heart. Beautiful breakfast food

Good service, great food and generous portion as well. Last time I was there the music inside was a bit loud. Not a big deal, just thought it was worth noting. Overall I really liked it.

Waffle sandwich was too big to finish even though it was so delicious. Also loved the omelette and can tell that they are using fresh ingredients from the freshness of salad and fruits. My cat was crazy to try the sandwich and he stole my bacon.

One our favourite breakfast spots. Go tos are breakfast Benny and waffle potatoes. Beautiful presentation and great service. Highly recommend!

Ample outdoor seating with bug netting or a cozy indoor table, you cant go wrong with all the waffle options available to you. From savoury to sweet, even a potato waffle is a must try. Good portions and well priced. Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly options

Amazing food and staff was really good. I was pleasantly surprised at the bill, i was expecting alot more. definitely coming back.

Loved the idea of waffles used as alternative for bread, but was disappointed by the taste. Waffles were kind of soggy for sandwiches and eggs benedict, and I would have much preferred their original carb. That being said, the dessert-like waffles were great.

The patio is so nice and private, the food is delicious and the prices are great! Staff is very helpful and friendly, they are there when you need them Highly recommend!

Great place for breakfast

This place is an absolute gem. The staffs are very helpful, and friendly. Great ambiance, nice paintings to look at while dining, the food is surely tasty!

Id heard such good things about this restaurant, but I was really disappointed. My impression of the food is that everything comes pre-packaged and theres nothing actually cooked in-house; its all just heated and assembled. I suspect even the waffle batter is poured out of a bottle instead of made from scratch in the restaurant. It felt like I was eating cafeteria breakfast.

I get cravings for this restaurant, need I say more.

The fully loaded was great

Pretty mediocre food with about the same level of service. I can usually forgive the service if the food was actually good, which wasn t the case this time. We ordered a salmon benny and a monte cristo. The benny came out ok, but the monte cristo was gray, bland, and soggy. In addition, the tap(?) water had a really strong metallic fishy smell which is just gross.

I had a very good experience here at the Mount Pleasant location :) My cousin ordered the fried chicken and waffles and I ordered the waffle benny. The waffles were so soft and delicious! Our poached eggs were cooked to perfection. We dined in and it wasnt busy at all, Friday at lunch time. We also ordered a chai tea latte and mango banana smoothie which were both amazing! Ill definitely be back to try some of their sweet waffles for dessert! :)

The chive and cheese was great. The poached egg with salmon was pretty good but a little too salty. Good portion sizes

A great place for brunch and dinner. We enjoyed their waffles for brunch a couple of weeks ago and came back to try their tacos for dinner. They were delicious and worth coming back for. I look forward to our next visit.

The waffles were not cooked properly and one could feel the dough in the bite. This is probably the only breakfast place I have been to which does not serve house brewed coffee and no bread with the omelette. We are not going back to this place.

Delicious brunch foods!

I should have remained starving. I ordered the chicken and waffles, a supposedly signature dish. The chicken was awful. Spicing and coating were not edible

Food was so overpriced and was not that good.

A lovely cafe with top notch waffles! I particularly enjoy the savory potato waffles! The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Visited this location recently with a group of colleagues and had a really great time. The service was great and the food was tasty, colourful and fresh. I was shocked about the portion size of each meal (large, lol!) especially given inflation and the price point being reasonable. I ordered the fried chicken and regular waffles with potato salad and it was truly a good choice though I would recommend the potato waffles which were really good! There is street parking along Mount Pleasant but it is a busy street even more so depending on the time of day. I would definitely come back and highly recommend! Vegetarian options: Several no meat options for waffles though most feature fruit Kid-friendliness: Bright open spot and colorful walls so I would think it would be a great place for families to sit and grab a meal

Amazing breakfast. Take it to go and dine at the park!

On our journey to try as much brunch places as possible in 2021, we took to this one for the novelty in the menu. Lot of good options with waffles, also got to try potato waffles which were reasonably good. Service was so so but we did like the wasp-free Patio setting. Guess it was a good 1 time thing

The service was very slow and the food was bad!! We will not return. We were seated very fast and we orderd our coffees and breakfast. We got the coffees in 10-15 minutes, by the time we had finished our coffees and talked for 45 minutes. Our food came. This is definitely not a breakfast place. A breakfast place needs to be fast. People come here for brunch and breakfast. You cannot keep us waiting for this long. After all this time of wait, we thought the food would be at least good. But it wasn t. We had stomachache for hours!! Too much sourcream, way too much!! And we didn t have any coffee or anything to drink with our breakfast. Because guess what? We had our coffees 45 minutes ago. And the coffees did not have any sugar or cream next to them. There was only one little boy working indoor which makes no sense at all. Of course he cannot do everything. Poor management!!

Interesting take on conventional breakfast

Want a brunch that will keep you smiling from ear to ear? Head on over and order the B Benny!

Excellent menu, service, prices. Will be nack

Good food, good coffee.

charming little brunch spot. great prices, big portions - my partner and I split the hitchhiker with 2 extra waffles and that was plenty of food. our server was very lovely.

Had a wonderful brunch this past Sunday with incredible service. A mistake was made on my bill that I didn t notice at the time. I called back and explained what happened. After a few minutes to verify I was told a credit would be issued in an etrasfer This was done immediately. Wonderful food, great service and honourable people to deal with. Looking forward to my next visit.

Amazing food and service! Loved this hidden gem

I am fairly certain that the chicken from the chicken and waffles here is straight from Loblaws. Avoid ordering at all costs! It was a complete of money - chicken super dry and flavourless

Amazing potato waffles
