I'm so happy I found this spot! Some of the best Hollandaise I've tried in years. My brother had the Hangover Helper, and it was probably the first time I've seen him happy and full in ages (he'd just done the Toronto Marathon the day before) I can't wait for an excuse to go back.

My husband and I discovered this charming breakfast spot by chance, and we’re so glad we did! The avocado toast was absolutely delightful, perfectly seasoned and fresh. We also indulged in the buttermilk pancakes, which were fluffy and delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful breakfast experience that we highly recommend!

Such a good eggs benedict, with an excellent hollandaise sauce. I asked for regular bacon instead of peameal and they accommodated no problem! :) The potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, I appreciate that none of them were undercooked. Overall very impressed with the food and service despite how busy they were.

I've been to The Homeway a couple of times and it's my to go place for a lazy Saturday breakfast. We have only ordered from the omelettes. Nice staff. Good vibes. And really decent food! ♥️ Although chef, please take it easy on the oil.

We visited The Homeway today for brunch. It is a vibrant place with the nicest staff. We ordered Greek Omelette, Avocado Toast and coffees (Drip and Americano). The brunch items tasted delicious with pretty decent quantity (I was full after eating 3/4th of it). I'd recommend the place 100%. Special shout-out to Taylor who took care of us and made us feel welcomed. Thank you! ❤️

Great brunch place! Food and drinks are delicious. This is our go-to brunch place in Eglinton. I'm working through the Eggs Bendict menu here on all my visits, and every single one I've tried so far is yum 😁 Definitely would recommend 👌

During our recent visit, we decided to indulge in the Hangover Helper, avocado toast, and coffee. The culinary journey began with the avocado toast, which was a revelation in itself. The creamy avocado spread was perfectly seasoned, and the poached eggs added a rich, velvety texture that elevated the dish to a whole new level of deliciousness. Next, we moved on to the scrambled eggs, sausage, and pancakes, which were nothing short of outstanding. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and light, seasoned to perfection. The sausage was savory and cooked just right, providing a satisfying, hearty complement to the meal. The pancakes were a highlight, their soft, pillowy texture and subtle sweetness creating a delightful contrast to the other savory elements. Beyond the impeccable food, the customer service was truly commendable. Every member of the staff we encountered was super friendly and consistently checked in on us to ensure we had the best possible experience. Their attentiveness and warmth added a personal touch that made our visit even more memorable. In conclusion, I can confidently say that this establishment delivers on both culinary excellence and exceptional service. It’s a place I would recommend 100% to anyone seeking a delightful dining experience.

I would never get tired of this place! Been here a few times now, love everything about this place. Rotation is very quick so even when there's a line, you can expect a seat within 10-15min. Food is just amazing and it comes out quick! Amazing portions for the price. Great black coffee. Very kind service. Homey vibe. Couldn't ask for more. Update: Portions for home fries shrunk a little and fruits shrunk a lot. Could be just that one day tho. Makes little difference about my ratings.

A solid casual brunch spot. I enjoyed their basic breakfast plate, which is tasty and aligns well with the cost. Their juices are also good. Id avoid their pancakes - I found them to be super dry, and though they tasted fine I ended up tossing them because they were just so dry. Overall, Ill definitely go back.

I went today for brunch and I ordered the parma perfection. Unfortunately, it was far far away from perfect. The description says the dish comes with grilled tomato and balsmaic reduction, but I got thick slices of fresh tomato and no balsamic at all as you can see in the picture. I complained right away about the tomato because I dont eat it fresh, but I didnt mention the balsamic. The waiter called the waitress who seemed to be also the supervisor as she was the one handling complaints and payments. Although she offered to bring me a new dish, she replied: the tomato looks grilled! Well, if it is grilled, why are you offering me another one? What exactly are you gping to change? Then I got the new one again without balsamic. The eggs were okay, but the fries were probably the worst I have ever had. After I paid I told the waitress that the fries were over cooked and more like chips than home fries. She replied, yeah it is a bit crunchy, the pieces come in different sizes so some of them are crunchier than others. Next time let us know that you want them softer. Apparently, this lady lacks the bare minimum of customer service skills. She kept replying to my comments as if I was the one to blame! Not the chef or herself. She didnt apologize. And before that she was unable to see that the dish was missing the balsamic dressing. Im giving 2 stars mainly because the waiter was trying his best to address my concerns, which deserves recognition. And I wish he sees my feedback. Thanks to him. Obviously, I dont recommend this place. And there wont be anotber time to try the softer home fries :)

Stuck out of town with hours to kill and found The Homeway for some amazing brunch. Eggs Benny was spot on! Eggs cooked perfectly to my request.

I used to be a frequent visitor to the place and liked their food. I queued up today through their online tool and came physically in, when they said that it s going to be another 10-15 min. I then exited and shortly got a message: your table is about to be next . Very blurry wording, but that s ok. I started making my way towards the place, and when I was 1 minute away, they send me a message: we removed you from the waitlist . I call them immediately, saying I m next door, and the only thing they tell me: you can the waitlist again . What?! Thank you, but no thank you. I ve been on that list for an hour by then, and for 1 min delay you send me back to the end of the queue???? Very weird way of keeping permanent customers and definitely doesn t work for me good luck !

Thought of going to this place as it has a lot of good reviews but had the most terrible experience. The most horrible place that you can get your brunch at. Service is mediocre. The food is the worst of all, utterly unflavorful with no seasoning. The entire meal was devoid of salt, even the French fries. They even ruined the toast, which should be the easiest to make. I wanted to enjoy brunch with my hubby after a very bad week but the place turned out to be even worse. I would not recommend going to this place.

Came here for brunch and brought my family who was visiting Toronto from overseas. food is delicious. However, the server (girl with eyeglass) was SUPER irritated when we paid and did not give the tips she expected. She told us is a rude manner tips are not included btw then turned around while shaking her head and threw Pos machine on the counter. Maybe she thought we didn t see her but we did. That was super rude and ruined the atmosphere. Maybe she forgot that tips are NOT mandatory and you have to deserve it. We ended up handing her $5 in coins because of her unnecessary and exaggerated reaction. Honestly the service was not exceptional as she got all confused when giving us the plates. Will not return.

I recently visited this cozy and beautiful brunch place nestled in the charming Mount Pleasant neighborhood with a friend. It was our first time there, and we were excited to try out the offerings. I opted for a tea, but to my disappointment, there was some residue around the cup. I brushed it off, assuming its a common mishap that can occur with dishwashers. Moving on, I decided to order eggs and a bagel with home fries. Unfortunately, the home fries were overcooked and deep fried and seemed quite old. Even more disheartening was the discovery of mold on my bagel. I promptly brought this to the attention of the waiter, who showed it to a waitress. We overheard their conversation, where the waitress initially denied the issue but eventually acknowledged it after the waiters insistence. Throughout this ordeal, there was a lack of acknowledgment of our discomfort. The handling of the situation could have been more graceful. Ultimately, given the subpar food quality and the unimpressive response to the mold situation, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend this place to others. Its a shame, as the cozy ambiance and lovely location had initially promised a delightful experience

Our go-to breakfast/ brunch place. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, very friendly and accommodating staff. We love their home fries, which are crisp and flavourful but not greasy. And their breakfast items always come with some fresh fruit. Vegetarian options: Many of the items on the menu are meatless, which is important to us. However, vegans would probably not find much to eat here other than fruit. Dietary restrictions: They provide milk alternatives and gluten-free dishes. In addition, they will alter the ingredients in dishes to allow for dietary concerns. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and provide paper, crayons, and high chairs.

So far the best egg benedict I tried in Toronto, the service is great, the location, and the prices. I really enjoy to go there anytime for brunch!

Its a good breakfast spot. The only meal Ive had there. The one thing they could improve would be to provide sour cream as an option for the home fries, and other things.

Haven t been back to this restaurant in years! Decided to go back. Tried the Huevos Benedict. It was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! All of the ingredients were so fresh, I loved every bite. The chefs that served this food should be proud. Service was so friendly and welcoming in a homely way. I really enjoyed and can t wait to come back for the French toast, it looked so good! Great Job Homeway!

Terrific. This cozy breakfast/brunch eatery is perfect for a weekend meetup with friends. All the right foods prepared well and served up with a smile. Price is right too. Plus theres a sun drenched patio to sit back and sip your fresh dark roast on.

Quality service during a busy weekend brunch. We were a walk-in party of 3 and were immediately seated. But will definitely get reservations next time cuz they get so busy. Only complaint is how close our table was to another as I felt like they were close enough to hear every detail of my conversations. The food was very delicious though the home fries are a bit more on the burnt side.

We went here for Sunday brunch. The yolk on our eggs benedict was over cooked and when we informed the waiter, all we got was 2 poached eggs as a replacement. They did not put any effort to transfer the hollandaise sauce and toppings from the overcooked egg to the poached egg. We ordered eggs benedict, not English muffin with a side of poached eggs. We also ordered steak and eggs with toast. They served the plate with the steak placed directly OVER top of the toast. As a result, the toast had an unpleasant animal grease taste to it. Did not go well with the jam at all. The sausage Pattie s side we ordered was dry and mushy, which we also did not enjoy. On the positive side, the coffee was great. The steak was fair. And the home fries were good. Overall it was still a very disappointing experience. Would not come back again.

Dine in was great, clearly a popular spot, and great food! Bit hot inside, but it is the height of summer after all. Only real negative: the bus boys non-communicado - they dont talk at all or answer questions, so you have to rely on the very capable waitresses alone. Otherwise pretty fantastic, pretty sure our server was Magda, top form!!

Pleasant staff and the food was standard issue for breakfast. The minus one star is due to the pork beans. To me they were extremely salty and lacked any salvageable flavor. I would of been fine with the classic maple beans.

What has happened to Homeway? This used to be my favorite spot to meet friends but my last many visits have been unsatisfactory. I normally order pancakes. The last 3 times they have come burnt and I returned them. Today I ordered eggs, bacon and toast The eggs were cold and two of us discovered mold on our toast. The man at the table beside us was complaining of uncooked pancakes That is my last visit to this restaurant.

Amazing!!!! Would give it more stars if I could. I had the Parma Perfection and it definitely lived up to the name. Eggs Benny with prosciutto, grilled vine ripened tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic reduction for just $16. It was sublime. 100% recommended.

Service was great but the food was terrible. Toast was not toasted. Basically warm bread but not the fresh baked kind. French toast was too thick and not soaked in the egg mixture long enough. Ended up being chewy bread with egg bits. The maple syrup was a nice touch, however, it wasnt a lot or high quality syrup, so it merely made the French toast palatable. For a place with so many good ratings, reviews and how busy it was, my expectations were high. All in all I would not recommend this place for brunch. Better to go to Coras or Sunset Grill for a mediocre brunch at a cheaper price.

The worst eggs Bennie I have ever had. Where to start soggy not toasted English muffin, eggs they suggested to be cooked medium were both hard really hard and the hollandaise sauce is not real hollandaise it was mayo like. They have nice servers but my partners meal was also terrible, and nice people can t make up for bad food.

Be Warned. A brunch place on Mount Pleasant road which operates from 11 am to 3 pm. A place where at 3 the entire staff sits together and eats their meal together. The moment I walked in to this delightful eatery I was assailed by the aroma and I could not stop remarking that the place smells so wonderful. Their service is simply great and the food remarkable. Loved their coffee too. Breakfast will never be the same again. Someway, you have a fan and a dedicated customer. (Oh its quite easy on the wallet too)

Quite nice spot for week-end brunch, ordered their basic breakfast with homemade pork sausages, quite average though, coffe latte likewise, nothing bad but also nothing particularly good. The washroom is however super disgusting lol.

I wish I could give this restaurant 0 stars. Ordered the a brunch from this restaurant through Uber Eats. Everything looked and tasted awful. The sweet potato fries completely are burnt and not edible at all. Worst brunch ever. Do not order from them...!!!

Nice and quiet, small run business. Service was efficient and friendly. Food was fairly priced for value and quality. Really tasty. We each ordered our own breakfast plate, and a full order of pancakes to share. It was all great!

Used to come here all the time but I believe ownership changed over the years. This visit had to wait 20 mins to order with 1 waitress working and 2 other random people walking around. Once food came, one benny had salad dressing soaked into the english muffin and the other had tough and barely edible pulled pork which was just day old pork sliced thin and put on the grill. Potatoes were burnt and coffee refilled twice and only lukewarm. Giving a 2 star because the waitress was nice when she was able to stop by the table.
