Local place in the BEACHES ⛱️ Past by many times over the years...lived near by for about 20yrs. Stopped in for dinner...portions were decent, although a bit pricey @ $20 each for basic entrees. Had the Chicken Pita w Fries... I could've split it, with my dinner companion. My Mom got the Veggie burger 🍔 with fries and we both thought mine was better. For 2 people it was $48 with tax and just ice water 💧 for drinks. To me that's kinda steep. Will know for next time & spilt an entree & perhaps get drinks or desert instead and save a bit. Atmosphere was older & kinda homey, but pleasant. Our server was very kind, patient & helpful. We were the only other patrons in the place at 6:45pm on Tues. Would return perhaps for breakfast at a later date.

We had a fantastic experience at The Beacher! The watermelon salad was refreshing, the Club chicken breast sandwich with fries was perfectly cooked, and the bacon and eggs with home fries were spot on. The coffee was fresh and delicious, a perfect complement to the meal. The service was excellent, with attentive staff who made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with an old-school fresh vibe that adds to the overall experience. The prices are fair, especially considering the high quality of the meals. We’ll definitely be back!

It's a beautiful place with super warm, welcome, friendly staff, I do love the atmosphere, and our waitress was very nice. I'm sorry, I don't know her name to mention it on my review, I know I gave 3 stars, but all of them are because of the things I said, our food, or at least my food wasn't that good, burger was over cooked, home made potato was cold also (because I shared my food with my friend) so I had quiche too, it was too eggy instead of creamy, taste mostly like an omelet and the crust was old and not crunchy and fresh so ... the price is good but not for that food I'll go there again for sure but I'll ordering other things and maybe I'll change my mind and review but this is my today experience

I had not been here in several years. My good friend Tim, reminded me his cousin owns the place. I support that! The servers are friendly and quick. Food came really fast. 3 of us ate, all different orders and all really enjoyed it. Hot, plenty of food. Endless coffee. Nice and clean, warm atmosphere and plenty of setting. Great job!

Had a great breakfast with my daughter, really nice vibe and menu. The burger was solid but my daughter doesn’t do toppings so just mind that in the photos. The only downside is that by the time brunch was done, I was questioning my Toronto choices in life and consumed with the idea of fleeing midtown, moving out to the beaches, meeting my new neighbours and knowing their names. Great spot but be careful.

Beecher Café in the Beaches, we miss you still, Nestled by the lakeshore, atop that gentle hill. A breakfast haven, where mornings felt right, Your sandwiches wrapped in the first rays of light. Eggs cooked to perfection, bacon crisp and lean, Layered with cheese in a bread softly seen. Each bite was a promise, a start to the day, That made sunrises warmer and skies never gray. But it wasn t just food that drew people near, It was smiles at the counter, service sincere. Baristas knew names, the regular crew, With each brewed coffee, a greeting anew. Located right in the Beaches embrace, Where waves whispered softly and time slowed its pace. Strollers and joggers would linger outside, As Beecher s warmth spread like the tide. Though now just a memory, the taste and the cheer, The heart of the Beaches, you re always near. For cafés may close, but the joy doesn t fade, And mornings at Beecher s will never degrade.

Cute little place in the beaches, staff are very friendly. A bit on the pricey side (a breakfast special, 3 pops and 2 poutines cost $53. Wouldnt make it a regular spot due to the price, far to expensive for what we got. Nothing really stood out food wise but we didnt have anything that really would stand out.

One of my favourite brunch spots! I stop in when I am visiting Toronto and always enjoy the welcome by friendly staff and excellent service. I usually have the Eggs Florentine; ample steamed spinach, perfectly cooked eggs and lemony hollandaise on a toasted croissant (I like it with their crispy fries). Upbeat and cheerful atmosphere. Till next time!

September 23, 2024

Food was horrible the chicken souvlaki tasted like it was reheated the Greek salad was spring mix with a balsamic dressing also half of pita and plain white rice.i never complain about food but at 28 dollars I should at least warn you.It also looks like everything is at least 20 years old in there and worn out chairs ,tables,floors very bad overall experience

Very overpriced, mediocre food and small portions.

September 23, 2024

Worse breakfast I have ever had. Eggs Florentine: the famous hollandaise I am pretty sure is powdered. Spinach was frozen, croissant was stale, eggs under cooked potatoes were bland. The person I was eating with sent their Costco croissant back because it was stale. They put it in the microwave and sent it back out. The sausage was a bratwurst, not a breakfast sausage. Uttterly disgusting. Soup kitchens do a better breakfast.

Not a good business at all. Public servant clearly overheated and in need of rehydration, obviously on the job so I cant done in, asking for a.quick glass.ofmwater to beat the heat. Told that tap water is for customers only. If other places are happy to help someone with water in the heat why cant you guys? Especially someone clearly working outdoors who cant come.on and buy a sandwich just to get some water. Do better. Seriously.

The servers are really awesome. There were only two of them on a busy Friday holiday breakfast. The place is lovely. Plus points on the Kate poster that they have on one of the walls.

Horrible service, mediocre food and a very frustrating experience. Took forever to get a menu and longer for our order to be taken and very long to get our food. Everyone around us getting their food earlier. We had a 4 year old and a ten year old. Hungry kids waiting for almost an hour!! The server said so sorry a group came in after you ordered. My potatoes were barely warm and the smoked salmon was fishy (old) tasting. Kids loved the chicken fingers and the waffles. My daughter and I rated our egg sandwiches at 7 out of 10 and the service at 4. Ive been here 4 times in the past years and never been wowed but I absolutely will never be back. So many better places. We just wanted to please the kids!

Pricey, low quality food. Food arrived almost instantly after ordering, which most likely meant everything was precooked prior. We ordered the breakfast special which came with moldy bread and eggshells. The potatoes weren t fully cooked and the bacon which looked like a twisted pile of something, tasted and felt like it was sitting under the heatlamp for hours. The good news is, we got 25% discount for eating it and paid a wopping $35 for two breakfasts (after discount)

Extremely dated restaurant. Im giving it 3 stars because the servers were lovely and attentive, but the food was not great. The only upside was that they had a gluten-free bread option. It was very expensive for what we got. I dont recommend. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread substitute for a fee

★★
February 23, 2024

Small portion sizes for the price. Regular breakfast you could find at most diners, but you re paying twice the price. Good cozy atmosphere, and friendly and nice staff with quick service. My Latte and pancakes were good, but only got 3 paper thin slices of peameal bacon that was rubbery and Luke warm. The food was something I could of easily made at home. Was very underwhelmed by the food with a 4 star rating and high prices (should be 3 respectively). Lots of better options to go to for less $$ too.

It pains me to leave this review, as the Beacher Cafe is a neighbourhood institution. However, the last time we were here, the service took forever (we learned there was only one cook in the kitchen) and the food took forever to arrive and was sadly mediocre. This does not have to be fatal, but the restaurant needs to make some improvements to regain our trust.

Eggs Benjamyn (Smoked salmon). I asked if I I could skip the red onion in exchange for some capers and that s what I got. Real potato home fries. Everything was cooked perfect, my salad was fresh and I loved the grapefruit/watermelon slices on the side. Service was fast and the servers were all very attentive and friendly. Good thing everything else was perfect because the coffee wasn t great

December 23, 2023

We were very disappointed In the eggs Benedict we had. It was tasteless, the peameal bacon was not peameal bacon, it was a paperthin sliver of mock steamed/microwaved replica of peameal. The kind you buy in a deli package. I have been going there for years having the same eggs Benedict, something was very different today! They need to up the ante and bring back the real peameal bacon! No substitutions please...cheaped out on it! Way over priced for what we received! I should have taken a photo.

Have been eating here for years and have been noticing a slow decline in the quality of breakfast dishes. Hate to give bad reviews but it will only help to improve because we don t want to stop going there. Tried to get the managers attn but she was busy. Our group of three ordered the eggs Benedict. The food on each dish was cold room temp. On my plate One egg was hard poached, the other runny (I asked for medium) and the white of the egg was mushy like oatmeal. The fried/sautéed potato s were awful and tasted like they had been frozen and heated up, left out and then put on the place The bacon looked like it was boiled and left out on the counter and had an orange flavor. Other plates the English muffin was mush in some places and hard to cut in others. Overall a really bad experience. Sorry :(

Its been a few years since Ive eaten at the Beacher...I think its changed ownership/management since my last meal here (probably 2009!). The location has always been one of the best in the Beach...a quieter stretch of Queen St in the east with a terrific, big patio. I stopped in wanting brunch but opted for a banquet burger instead. What I got was a simple plate of diner perfection - a nicely charred, homemade patty, the classic onion/tomato/lettuce garnish and excellent home cut fries. Exactly what I wanted! The menu looks really interesting and has some tasty looking stuff on it. Will definitely be back sooner than later!

Very disappointing visit today We normally visit a few times a year, this will be our last time. My French toast was perfect as usual but the peameal bacon was sliced so thin, it lost its flavour. My husbands Eggs Benedict again had the very thin peameal bacon but the disappointment was the hard not cooked supposedly home fries. They arrived cold, went back & were returned after a zap in the microwave, they were hard. They went back only to be replaced by some strange tasting slices of potato some maybe fried. Such a disappointment. Maybe it should close on a Monday if staff & cooks are unavailable

Really lovely brunch at the cafe. The quiche really hits the spot. I loved the variety of vegetables included in the salad, too. The coffee is good, not too strong or weak. It looks like a lot of locals come to the cafe, which is nice. Its not the fanciest place, but it feels like its received a lot of love, and thats also important. Dietary restrictions: The smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with a salad is a smart option for a diabetic/keto/low-carb diet. Kid-friendliness: There were definitely kids there, and they were comfortable and welcome. I wasnt looking for kid menu options, though.

This was our first time going to Beacher Cafe and it did not disappoint! Our server (Ethan) was friendly, polite, and attentive. He made sure to point out the daily specials and when we werent sure what to eat amongst the many different options, he helped us to narrow down our preferences. Our coffee refills came readily, well before we hit the bottom of the cup! We ordered the Eggs Benedict and the Eggs Florentine and both dishes were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the fresh cut home fried potatoes, crisp and hearty without being too salty. The eggs were cooked to our liking, the food was well seasoned without being too salty. Sorry, no photos of the food - we dug in and started eating before I even thought to take a photo! Perhaps what we really enjoyed most about our time at the Beacher Cafe is that we never felt rushed to leave. The Beacher Cafe has a lovely, inviting ambience and is the perfect place where you might want to have a relaxed meal with a friend to catch up. If youre in a rush, no worries, our food came quickly so you could eat and go however, its rare to find a place that doesnt feel rushed. While the weather is nice, take advantage of their patio. Street parking is available. If youre ever in the Beaches area, feel free to give this place a try!

I just moved to the area, I was so excited to come for brunch at this cafe with my partner. We were seated and waited for 15 minutes for the waiter to come see us. I ended up getting up to get the waiter. I was told my waiter will be coming to my table, even after that it took the waiter 10 minutes to come to our table to take our order. We noticed that all the waiters were prioritizing white people, checking up on them to see if they needed anything and also filling their water glasses whereas we asked for water and did not receive it even when we got our food. Keep in mind we were the only people of colour there. It was difficult to even get the workers attention most of the time. Lastly, I forgot my Epilepsy medication at the cafe and ended up going back 5 minutes after leaving. These are not regular medication, any other place would keep them for 24hrs before throwing them away incase the people come back. I was so disappointed with the service. Please do something about this, as it was one of the most horrible experiences.

Honestly not sure how this place is rated 4.1 stars overall . Maybe we just went on a bad day but I m thinking that s not the case by seeing recent reviews. All of our food was sub par and their prices are outrageous. The service, atmosphere and food was all drastically below what I was expecting. The prices should be cut by 30% if not a 40% for the quality of food and drinks they re serving. $15 for the worst Caesar I ve ever had. I won t be going back and was very under-satisfied.

I want to like this place but the food is so horribly hit or miss. Today I got the all day breakfast with scrambled eggs and home fries. The eggs were burned in the shape of the pan and the home fries were just a sliced, unseasoned boiled potato, barely cooked and inedible. This meal was $20

Worst food ever. Got eggs floritine. Was cold, didnt toast English muffin, there signature sauce was also cold and nothing special for flavour , no lemon in hollandaise tasted blan. The worst was the home fried potatoes. There was no washing or quality checking of food. The potatoes were gritty from sand and rotten spots also cold and flavourless. When I brought it to there attention they did nothing about it. Not even a sorry. I explained to them that people dont want to pay money to be served dirty food. There was no response and when we paid the bill they charged us full price for everything, even the bad food. Terrible restaurant. Not sure how they have survived this long in the beaches.

It took almost an hour to bring our brunch (poached eggs and a quiche), the quality of the food was below average, the waitress first gave us a lecture about how the refill coffee we got (which tasted awful) was by accident as they dont do free refills. When we finally received our order it was the wrong order (another table), then when our order came I had the wrong side... And their prices are a bit too much for a brunch place. Not going back for sure.

There are Diners and there are breakfast places. Breakfast places add a little something extra that makes the food tastier, surrounding cozier, and service a notch friendlier. Beachers Cafe is a great breakfast place with a healthy menu great variety. Go for the eggs Benedict!!

This place should exist under different ownership or management. A breakfast diner of this sort is much needed in the neighborhood but not one that is as poorly managed. I guess Im viewing this more as a restaurant entrepreneur than a patron. The food program is actually not terrible so thats why they dont receive a 1 star review from me (which I so badly want to give).

Came for my partners birthday for a quick brunch and was definitely a bit of a subpar experience. Food was alright but not great for the price. Eggs in my order were made incorrectly, and I had to send them back sadly. The home fries are huge chunks of soft potato, some not even cut. The bacon and eggs were extremely oily a bit disappointing. Our server was nice, and tried to be as accommodating as possible, but she seemed really frazzled. She had to drag around a huge sandwich board with the specials with her all over the restaurant? We felt bad she had to do that just to tell us the specials ?? Lastly a few feet away from us on a table in our section was a huge box of cat litter so strange. Definitely weird to have out during brunch service.

Hey Bleacher Cafe, went there today, and loved the food as per usual, great atmosphere, however I have noticed an extra inflation charge on the bills. I totally get it, with current economic environment and inflation on everything, it is necessary to charge clients the extra amount to ensure your restaurants survival. However the only suggestion is perhaps to make a note on the menu stating the % charged to stay a float or have your friendly waiting staff to inform the table. I would be happy to pay for it, it just came to me on my bill as a surprise a had no idea how much was being charged. Other than that, I am happy to be a patron again at your establishment, b/c I love that quiche you served today. Thank you!! Would be happy to join the restaurant again soon!

Servers were friendly and efficient. The food was nothing exceptional but fair. Was a bit concerned when I heard somebody I assume the owner scolding one of the servers for doing something incorrectly. The bill was also a bit of a surprise with their made up Inflation tax. Mixed feelings about this considering their prices were already a bit high for what we got. Overall, great service, food ok.

Ive been going to The Beacher for some time but the last couple of visits there have been sub par. The interior in winter months tends to be below room temperature, but more than that, the portions have become noticeably smaller, particularly the home fries with the eggs benedict - easily half the size the order was previously. The past two times have been bad experiences. One we waited almost an hour for our food which was also disappointing and yesterday, May 20, we tried again and my wifes omelette was stone cold, as were her home fries. We complained the the waitress took it back to the kitchen and when it returned, yes it was hot but flavourless. She said the best tasting part of her meal was the toast. Thats it Beacher... were done. Never coming back... lots of other places in the Beach that would be happy to have our business and give us value for money. AVOID

I love The Beacher Cafe. Growing up in the Beaches, I went here often with friends and family. I stopped by on Victoria Day to show some family outside of Toronto the Beaches. We sat on the patio to enjoy desserts and coffees. Namely, we really enjoyed the crème brûlée and cheese cake. The service was very friendly. I would always recommend someone to stop by. If you re looking for breakfast or brunch, my personal favourites are the eggs Benedict and their big traditional breakfast.

Potatoes werent seasoned Eggs and toast were cold Sausages cooked so long the skin was leathery. The very friendly server asked how the meal was. I told her the above information. She brought my bill at full price...which...fine, I did eat most of it and I still tipped 15% because as I said to her...not your fault, these things happen. I was fine to leave it at that and not review but I asked for a refill on my coffee in a to go cup and after paying for my bad meal in full, she told she would have to ring up a new coffee. I told her not to bother and would tell anyone reading this also not to bother. Really disappointing

Stopped by for Fathers day around 10am. Sign outside the restaurant mentioned a 25-minute wait for food, no problem, we continued on in and got a table with no issue. After ordering we waited an hour for food. Food arrived cold (eggs, bacon, sausages, potatoes), we ate it because we were starving at that point, understanding that if we sent it back we would likely be waiting a long time for the food to return. Manager (we assume, she is decision maker for hiring) asks how the food was. Gave her our honest feedback about the long wait and food quality, Im honestly not sure how the food could arrive cold unless it was sitting at the window for a while. For what its worth, the service was good and we were able to get refills on our drinks (2nd star for service). I understand restaurants being understaffed (sure, it happens!), but Id rather that they communicate it realistically beforehand (i.e., write on the sign out front the wait for food is 45 minutes - 1 hour). We heard other nearby tables with small children asking about the arrival of their food. We were told theyd give it 200% next time, no amendments to the bill were made. Sorry, there will probably not be a next time.
