We had the most amazing brunch experience, and it was all thanks to Amy!! From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcome, she was incredibly attentive, ensuring our coffee cups were always full and that we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. What really stood out was their attention to detail—like recommending the perfect dish for our dietary needs (medium maintenance girl here:) and the food was ..chefs kiss! Amy truly went above and beyond, making the meal feel like so much more! And she’s hilarious!! We will be coming back and hope to be seated in Amy’s section!

Had the most amazing brunch over the weekend. I really like how they transformed this space from some if the past restaurants that have been here...it's bright and welcoming. While the food was delicious our server Amy was attentive, friendly and ready with recommendations- she was the true star of the experience! You definitely won't go wrong stopping in here!

Came here for high tea for the first time. Reserved online. I tried messaging them to see if I could bring my young child, but I didn’t get a response. Luckily they let her in, as she was very excited. They serve high tea only 4pm and after on Fridays to Sunday. They otherwise serve brunch like pancakes and omelettes. Coming in, we were greeted by the waiter who seated us immediately, close to the entrance. There was only one other table of patrons there when we got seated and when we left an hour later, no one else had come in. There are two other people (2 chef?) in the back. As there weren’t many people, it wasn’t rowdy at all. Just some music played in the background while we all talked to our own parties. The options are: Full set high tea: 5 savory and 5 sweet and a tea pot for $59/person. Half set: 5 savory OR 5 sweet and a tea for $35/person. They have other options too on their menu (French toast, yogurt, etc). My child chose the chocolate covered cheesecake bites - 5 pieces for $10. They sat on top of cream and she really enjoyed it. She also tasted some items from our tower. We all preferred the sweet over savory from the towers. My mother got earl grey tea, I got a herbal red berry rooibos tea (happy there is another caffeine free option than peppermint and I really liked it). It had a vanilla taste. They also served all of us ice water. What we got today: Savory - salmon, cream cheese, cucumber sandwich - 2 meat filo things - spicy tuna ball (very spicy) - baguette with fig jam and Brie and blackberry Sweet - white chocolate cheesecake bite - red Bundt cake - macaron - scone with strawberry jam and whipped cream - a cookie (with the rosebud) that tasted like shortbread and coconut - biscoff mousse with dolce de leche

Gorgeous brunch and the menu variety is perfect. The eggs benny with salmon were impeccable and the fluffy stack of pancakes with blueberries and whipped cream were IG worthy. Hash browns made with a blend of potato, sweet potato and onion. Bottomless coffee. Specials of the day super tempting. Don’t understand why there aren’t lines out the door. Will go back and try the sandwich menu next time.

Very cute place, we discovered after eating at Jing’s restaurant a few doors away. We wanted to have coffee and a piece of cake and thought that this place would have some cakes considering the name of the store has “cakes” on it. We were told that the cakes were only if we did the afternoon tea course. We opted to just have the coffee instead which came in nice coloured fun mugs. Coffee was so so but the interiors and the server’s friendly and helpful attitude more than made up for it. I would return to try their brunch as it seems good. They also have a patio which would be a nice place for brunch.

Love love love this place! Have come here many times and brought many friends to show them this gem since I found it. Service is always fantastic. Today we had the pleasure of having Zack be our server. Lots of friendly genuine banter and accurate, fast service. The food, is so good, I always get one of the Benningtons. You can taste the quality in the eggs and they use a perfect blend of spices. The home fries have a lovely twist of having both regular potatoes and sweet potatoes, accenting the meal perfectly. Each meal is full of flavour and you feel great after eating. The vibes are immaculate, the aesthetic of the place is full of joy and always makes my day brighter. Definitely a highlight of my weekend brunches. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Worst breakfast I have ever had and the service was atrocious. I tried the new location in the Beaches on Queen Street East. It was their soft launch, so I knew there could be some delays, etc., while they work out the kinks and had no issue with this, as I like trying new spots and supporting local establishments. Given it was Mother's Day it wasn't too busy. Line up of 3/4 parties only to get seated and at 90% capacity. The host is extremely disorganized. Cant remember the order of who arrived first/last. Gave my table to people that arrived 15 minutes after me (after a 45 min. wait), that were not on the waitlist, thought it was funny, said he got confused and didn't even apologize. This is why restaurants write down the party names when they check in for a table. Then forgets about us, I ask the server to get the host and the server comes back and says yeah you can just take this table and points at it. A table that two other people asked to move from that wasn't even wiped down because it was beside the patio and there was a cold breeze. Didn't get walked to the table. Didn't receive any menus. No one came to attend to us for over 10 minutes. Finally the server comes and she has the most unfriendly look. Not polite. No Happy Mother's Day. We order two drinks. 10 minutes later no drinks. Ask to speak to the Manager, but she's gone. When she comes back she apologizes and says the drinks are on her. Then we get 2 drinks that aren't what we ordered, lol! A watered down lemonade and traditional mimosa. She realizes she made a mistake with the mimosa and asks the server to make another. Then we wait 30+ minutes for breakfast. I wasn't upset about the delay for the reasons already expressed, but when we get our meals what a joke! Eggs Bennington without hollandaise. A tsp on the side beside each English muffin. I asked for extra on the side and it was curdled. You turn the container over and it's super thick and doesn't move. Any reputable restaurant would not serve that to a customer. Such a basic sauce to make. Shows they don't care about quality. Salmon was non-existent, it was such a tiny piece. Don't bother having it on the menu, it's embarrassing. The English muffin was grainy and soggy. The infamous potato hash is basically over cooked boiled sweet/white potato with no flavor. The side salad is awful; spinach, tomato and cucumber in a terrible overly dominant vinegar dressing, lacking the 3 part oil to vinegar ratio rule. The lemon ricotta pancakes lacked lemon and the texture was gummy. They didn't even bring syrup! The beef sausages were dry and rubbery. When my child leaves a sausage on a plate you know something is wrong. I tried a bit and had to spit it out, it was chewy and terrible! Furthermore, the on the house drinks were charged to me. When I made note of it the server seemed annoyed to have to confirm and reprocess the bill. Please don't work in the service industry if you don't greet your tables, can't smile, tell the table your name, welcome them to the restaurant, etc. Even if the customer is not happy with the overall experience, professionalism is of the utmost importance. The manager basically said not much more I can do, as I've already apologized. Yes, she could have comped the meal, which by the way neither of us ate 95% of the meals because they were awful! She could have offered a gift certificate to come back and give the restaurant a try again after they settled in to try and earn back my business. This is what a reputable restaurant does that cares about their business and image. Especially, a new restaurant trying to establish themselves in a new area. The main area decor was lovely and I appreciated that they have a little lounge area to sit and wait. Unfortunately, they washrooms are not kept up or tended to regularly. What abuse. Expressing our disappointment in the service, quality of the food, cleanliness and poor management. My point exactly. A business that doesn't care about their customers! Avoid this terrible place.

When I went to tiarre’s recently, I was let down. The place was clean and had a decent vibe, but the food wasn't great. The fried potato as a side to almost all dishes tasted like they were cooked in old or burnt oil, which made the whole experience less enjoyable. Additionally, our server failed to inform us about any daily specials, adding to the disappointment of the meal. Overall it was okay though😊

Had brunch at Tiarres Queen St. location yesterday - it was fabulous! Amy was our server and she was absolutely terrific!! The place is warm and friendly, definitely focused on making customers happy. And also the food was really good! We all enjoyed it and would highly recommend it. Parking: Dined at the Queen St. location. VERY busy area and restaurant was packed. Quite difficult to find parking - be patient and keep looking.

Cozy vibrant brunch restaurant with exceptional services. Variety of menu. Fresh ingredients and delicious food leading your day bright and cheerful! Smoked Salmon Egg Benetton was excellent: perfect poached eggs with balanced smoked salmon melting in my mouth! Omelette of the day also has a few options of your choice, I chose spinach and goat cheese. It was good portion and well balanced! Coffee was fresh in full aroma to cheer my energy up! Also I noticed a bowl of water beside a menu stand at the entrance, which means pet friendly ^^

My first time trying this place and I don t think I ll go back again. Servers were nice and polite but food quality and portion size was ridiculous. My shrimp frittata smelt like spoiled eggs and there were three fries on the side! My friend ordered sophy s breakfast which also feeds a 5 year old only and was basically two poached eggs, a piece of toast and the tiniest portion of side salad. Each dish cost us over $20 that was overpriced compared to what you can get at other brunch places.

Showed up for dinner and initially was bombarded with a stressed out wait staff who claims she was left to do everything herself since her manager left. Drinks took quite some time, after finding out the beer tap for our choice of beer wasn t working, not her fault. Price Fixe menu wasn t mentioned, wasn t quite sure of what the soup of the day was, she didn t know what specific items were on the menu. The appy we wanted was not available, the calamari was extremely over breaded and made from frozen. The seafood pasta wasn t anything to write home about, my husband said the calamari was like chewing through a condem. The pasta and sauce were just OK, cooked well but I don t think it was freshly made. The chicken Parm was bland but edible. The dessert menu kept trying to leave our table, it was obvious the wait staff (and kitchen) just wanted to go home. After asking to leave the menu a second time, we were warned to put our order in within 15 minutes since the kitchen was on last call at 8pm. It felt very rushed. The sticky toffee pudding was OK and I was not very impressed with the apple crumble, there was no crumble. All in all, a not so good experience - brunch here was much better!

Ordered a grilled cheese, got the end of the bread loaf so it was extra crusty. However the worst part were the potatoes. Greasy and burnt. I was quite disappointed. Partner for the farmhouse skillet and it was ok. Mix of sweet potato and regular potato is great but it was very greasy. Otherwise, the servers were pleasant, nice family restaurant.

If I could give zero stars I would. I ordered gluten free toadt, celiac. I was given regular bread which I didnt take notice of as it was toasted and tasteless which is quite like GF. After eating 1.5 slices I uncovered, quite by accident that it was NOT gluten free. I actually had to force the server to show me the bag of gluten free bread which they clearly did not want me to see. Didnt take long before I got sick. They didnt even show remorse. A quick Im sorry doesnt cut it. My brunch partner is allergic to vinegar and asked for dressing on the side. Her salad was all dressed all over the plate. Just awful.

Just went to the new beaches location on Saturday of the long weekend for brunch. Got seated right away. We sat there for about 20 minutes with no menus and no server. One person noticed and brought us menus. We sat there for another 15 minutes waiting for a server to check on us and bring some water and take orders, but nope. The tables on both sides of ours were being taken care of but it was like we didn t exist. I heard the lady who brought our menus speak to one of the servers asking who is taking care of our table but it seemed like no one was interested. In that time I noticed another family was seated and got water right away and the server took their orders. After about half hour of just sitting there we decided to leave and not one person asked why we leaving or apologized. Unbelievable. Worst experience I ve ever encountered at a restaurant.

I ordered salmon Benedict. Food was cold 10/10. Eggs and salmon were delicious though! Servers were quite busy and couldn t check on us to refill coffees or water. Potatoes were over fried and almost brown. Bread was dried not feeling freshly toasted they forgot additional egg we asked but quickly made it. Finally if you are looking for somewhere to chill and have peace here is not the place. So noisy and crowded we couldn t hear each other and our toddlers were panicked but some people like it so it s your choice!

We made a reservation and confirmed it 30 mins prior and when we arrived 10 mins before our chosen time they told us they cancelled it because they thought we would be a no-show. However we confirmed and they didnt notify us of the cancellation until we arrived. Terrible customer service before we even sat down. My friend was hungry so ended up waiting another 25 minutes (we shouldve left), and the food was terrible. Bacon was overcooked. Also my cup had a piece of food on it when we sat down.

We had brunch as a family for the first time @Tiarres today and it was good. Would definitely return. The food was yummy and nicely plated. Our waiter was very nice and knew the menu well. Freshly squeezed orange juice was good, give it a try if you go. We had; - Tiarres favourite Pecan cornflake crusted french toast and it was too good. I couldn t stop eating it. - skillet farmhouse fry, nice flavour and tasted so fresh. - Shrimp frittata, never had anything like this for brunch before. Wasn t sure if I would like it when ordering but I cleaned my plate. - eggs benny with smoked salmon, yummy and the eggs were made perfectly the way we had asked.

Before heading to visit a family member at the hospital, I grabbed lunch here. It was the perfect atmosphere with its relaxing air, pleasant server, and choice of delicious foods.

Overall, not a spot I visit again nor mention it to anyone. The pancake were saggy and unpleasant although the look was nice but inside of them was super chewy and plain. The coffee cups were not clean and one could see the residue of the coffees or teas from before. Bottomless coffee, the cup is really big so when one orders by the time you get to the end, the coffee will be cold. Seating was really cramped, no room for any movement and the chairs werent comfortable either. Our order came out wrong as well. service was hectic and didnt get to us sooner. The only reason for 2star was the Latte which flavor was nice. Having in mind that latte had no art on it. With that price one could have had better food and services.

This has been a nice neighborhood restaurant as Sophie s and I loved coming here for 10 years. As it claims not an intimate restaurant anymore .Unfortunately with new owner and staff it has lost its local touch. Too many tables put in and waiting for the food is long. But worst of all is the one particular waiter , M, who has been very arrogant and rude . I will probably not be coming back as long as he or similar servers with stress are around. This is a 10 people restaurant as kitchen is small but putting more tables created caps and unpleasantness combined with this rude server not recommending to anyone anymore. Still using Sophie s menu as it was successful but mostly we came for the friendly staff and relaxing no hassle hassle ambiance which is all gone. I feel like now I am at any egg restaurant or diner and not personal touch and not welcomed by the staff.

Sophie s is a lovely place for brunch! I had eggs benny (vegetarian) which was delicious, the muffin was soft and the salad was fresh! I also had their freshly squeezed orange juice which was not too cold (just how I like) and very refreshing. It was surely busy and we waited close to 45min to get the table but the iPad to check-in came in handy. We were able to track the number of tables that were before us and they also sent a notification when it was our turn. In the meantime, we wandered around the streets for a bit and it was nice :)

The staff and atmosphere were very good. The regular breakfast items (egg dishes) looked good. My friends enjoyed them. I had the lemon pancake with ricotta and berry sauce. I liked the sauce and the hint of lemon in the pancakes. Unfortunately the pancakes themselves were not fluffy and just ok. (Tasted like a premixed store bought pancake mix). I was disappointed, given how good the pictures of the pancake looked. I won t order the pancakes again but would try one of the Egg Benny dishes the next time. I would come back because the staff were very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere very bright and pleasant. I m confident that I will find something on the menu that I will like.

Wouldve been nice if there werent 5 giant fruit flies that we had to swat away from our faces and food every few seconds. It also wouldve been nice if they didnt burn the bacon. Wouldve been nice if it wasnt so cold that I wanted to wear my winter jacket in the restaurant and couldnt wait to be done eating their mediocre food. Actually.... even if they fixed those points, it still wouldnt be nice. Im never going back and wouldnt recommend either.

Great potatoes. My Gruyère quiche was good, although it needed salt, and the salad was nice light leafy greens with a good vinaigrette. The coffee was disappointingly not very hot though and the milk added to it was cold- so results were a not even warm coffee.

Amazing place for having heavy portion for breakfast. Our server Paige, perfectly describes the menu and guide us to pick the best one. However, I would recommend them to switch their orange juice glass to something bigger, because compared to the price of the orange juice, it is very small. Interestingly, their kids and adults orange juice glass is a same. It is a small and cozy place therefore it wouldn t be a good idea for larger groups. I guess, their biggest table would be for 6 people. It s good that they have also take out and you can order from them in Uber Eats and their dish is delivering same way as they are serving in the restaurant, pretty and heavenly. Last thing, their prices is really affordable as well. The dish in the picture was $16 and called Sophie s breakfast.

We went there cause hubby was craving their pancakes. He was very disappointed this time around as they didnt live up to expectations nor were they as he remembered.. Service was not so great either. I had to get up from our table to place our order since our server was happily enjoying her iced coffee behind the counter. Had the breakfast sandwich. Nothing special about. The side potatoes were burned and over salted. I asked for them to be replaced. it was a different server who helped us. They were not burned the second time around but still over salted. At least they got my egg done right. Over medium as per my instructions. Probably wont be going there again. Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and boosters for toddlers and kids.

I think the art of poached eggs is lost. Might as well order hard boiled every time. Surprised that a place that specializes in eggs/breakfast can t poach. The waitress did see I didn t finish the eggs or rest of breakfast and apologized and offered a redo but by then was upset and ready to go. She also removed the coffee from billI. Think any $20+ breakfast should be cooked to order right specially when the joint is not jam packed.

Kids menu is so overpriced and the owner should be disappointment in this kind of prices. Im a fair person and understand the prices of dinning but this is robbery.

We were walking up and down Bayview and needed a bite, but it was hard to decide where to go. As we passed Sophies we saw the plates others had ordered and it all looked great, so we decided to give it a try. We chose right. It was a nice day so we sat on the patio and the best way to describe it was cosy. I ordered a Caesar and the Farmhouse Fry Skillet. The Caesar was really good but I would have liked it a little spicier. Since I always mix everything on my plate the skillet is a great option. Everything in there works so well together. There were so many great looking dishes on the tables around me that I will be coming back to sample the rest of the menu.

There were three of us, two would have good things to say - but I am the one posting this review. First of all, based on other reviews, it looks like the menu has been seriously downgraded - now nothing fancier than Benedict offered - and the first thing I said when we sat down was how basic the menu was. But as both of my companions were content to go with Benedict, it worked for them. I settled on a cheap choice, scrambled eggs and toast $8, since nothing else appealed to me, and so Iwantedto spend as little as possible. There was a reason I selected such a cheap option. When she took my order, she asked me if I wanted potatoes, I said ok, the she said salad, I said ok. What she didnt ask me was if I wanted a whole other particular meal. To my dismay, when the bill came, I had been billed and charged for a Sophies special at 20$. While I expected additional cost, on an 8$ cost of the plate, perhaps come close to twice the price. Even that is high. What I have never seen is being billed for a specific dish that I was never asked would you like to make that a Sophies special? and then be billed and charged for a dish I never ordered - at 20$. A deceitful and unfortunate sort of practice. Just be straight up and say it, rather than this stupid trickery. Its not like if she would have asked me do I want that dish, Id probably have said sure. Its the unnecessary deceit. Disappointing.

Have been here before and in the past really enjoyed it. The staff is still good but sadly the food ordered on this visit was not. They no longer have the Skillet dish that was on the online menu (offered a substitute with shrimp and asparagus that didn t sound appealing). As a result, I ordered the traditional breakfast plate with bacon, eggs, etc. I asked for the eggs to be done over easy and they arrived completely overcooked/ well done. I should have sent them back but was out with a friend and did want to delay her meal so just ate around them. The prices have also gone up from what appears on the online menu (website). If you like pancakes, they still looked to be fine (seeing them at another table). There are many other good breakfast places on Bayview so won t be returning.

I have been here several times before, and have always enjoyed both the environment and the food. The staff was nice, however, the food this time around was very disappointing. We ordered the avocado toast and farmhouse fry skillet. The avocado toast was decent for the price, but the farmhouse fry skillet had uncooked bacon and sausage. I have never complained about food before, and normally I would just not return if I am disappointed with the food, however, I think uncooked meat is a health hazard and should have been addressed by the staff with more attention. While they waved the price for the farmhouse fry skillet, I am still appalled with the fact they actually served food with uncooked meat. I will unfortunately not be coming back here, which is a shame because I actually really enjoyed this place.

And then dessert came and I ordered a warm apple crumble with ice cream and the apple crumble was frozen solid in the middle and warm on the edges. That being said, food wasn t absolutely terrible, BUT I paid $50 for this and dessert wasn t included (additional charge).

I came back to Tiarrés as I love Sophies previously. This time around, we came for the pancakes, knowing how good they were previously and we were super disappointed. They were not only super dry but extremely overcooked and 1 even tasted burnt and we couldnt eat it. I did also have the eggs benny which was good. This may have been a fluke with the pancakes, as I was with a table of 6 and the restaurant was busy, but not planning to come back anytime soon for the pancakes, thats for sure. Service however was great, especially considering how busy they were. I highly recommend making a reservation (as we did) as they often have a 30-45 minute waitlist!

I was here on Sunday for brunch. The place is absolutely gorgeous, at the same time not much seating space, but we were lucky enough to secure a table right away. I was super excited to try their lemon ricotta pancakes since I ve seen them in a few friends posts, but it was very disappointing experience. The pancakes are very thick for no reason, not fluffy or light, just though and rubbery. They looked amazing and we really had our mouths watering until we tried them, even if they were hard, if they had had some flavour in it, it would probably make a difference. The service was great, our server was so attentive and friendly. My daughter had the Salmon bennies and those were very tasty, as well as the side salad that comes with. I find it hard to recommend or give it another try, since it s not a cheap place and paid $20dlls for the worst pancakes in Toronto. Need to do better or probably the pancake cooker was not in for the day.

I am not sure if it was an off day for this restaurant but it was underwhelming to put it nicely. The 2 stars is simply for the atmosphere and pleasant staff. I ordered Eggs Benedict and my friend ordered the skillet. The eggs were hard as a rock, the hollandaise was dry, and it was accompanied with literally only 8-10 tiny cubes of diced potatoes. The salad was ok. The skillet, which they said was like a poutine, also only had 8-10 tiny potato cubes and was all sauce and huge clumps of melted cheese. My friend barely touched it. This was a very disappointing experience.

Ended up waiting for AN HOUR AND A HALF while we watched various tables come and go, all for French toast and eggs Benedict which unfortunately ended up coming to our table cold as if it was sitting out for a while.

I have never had such a horrendous and discriminatory brunch experience. When we first walked into the restaurant, my partner and I noticed we were the only people of colour there, which isn t the biggest surprise for Leaside, but the service that followed left us questioning if this was merely a coincidence. After waiting to be seated, a waiter points us to a table in an overflow patio in front of a different restaurant without walking us to that table. It should be noted it was the furthest table away from the restaurant itself and our conversation was constantly interrupted by people passing behind us to see if the other restaurant was open. Our waiter comes by shortly after and asks us to order our drinks and food all at once before we really had time to browse the menu. When she took the menus away it was clear the table itself was wet from the rain, but no one offered to wipe it down. The waiter came back later with one order of pancakes and a plate of bacon. My partner and I had each ordered a side of bacon but the restaurant could not be bothered to put it on two different plates nor tell us that the plate was to be shared until much later. We were also told that my partners plate of pancakes would be right out. Five minutes later the waiter comes back and tells us the other plate of pancakes was going to take a while to come out and we should just share the first plate until they do. No apology or explanation was given. The assumption that we would simply be comfortable sharing each other s food was appalling in itself and insulting that we should have to share one plate to make up for their mistake which they failed to acknowledge. The second plate of pancakes came out about 15 minutes after the first, so naturally one of us had to eat cold pancakes. We weren t even halfway through the meal when the waiter comes by not to check on us but to ask if she could wrap us up and give us our bill. Overall there was a clear feeling that we were an afterthought and an inconvenience to the waitstaff simply by deciding to eat there. It would have been different if there was an acknowledgment of the poor service we received but it seemed like providing us with bare minimal service was the best that they could do.

December 22, 2022

The cook this morning was not wearing a mask (a mingle mask is a thin piece of plastic over the mouth and does not cover the nose, this is not suitable PPE) and was making loud screaming noises at 930 am.(Sat July 24 2021). We used to adore this brunch place and I was very hesitant to post a bad review amidst a pandemic but the potatoes were raw, we received 1 piece of toast with breakfast, poached eggs were cold and tasted of vinegar, salad was old and black on both our plates, there was dust on one half side of my partners meal and they didnt bother to clean the plate before serving, hair in the corner of where we sat inside. The server did not do a quality check on the food; we waved down another server for the raw potatoes and there was no apology- just another bowl of sad potatoes. When we paid and tipped the server we had to tear our own receipt and leave. The restaurant had only one other table inside and about 6 on the patio- considerably quiet for the typical bayview weekend brunch rush. We will not be returning.

Nice little place for brunch. First time eating there and wanted to go to a nice place with friends visiting from out of town. We lucked out and didnt have to wait long (15mins) for a table of 6. Unfortunately it was sweltering inside and uncomfortably hot. Wasnt sure if that was normal or the AC was broken. It was a hot day and when we left and went outside to the street, it felt about 10 degrees cooler outside. Anyways, the food was good. Decent portion in my Greek yogurt bowl and peameal eggs benny. Not enough home fries but everything tasted good. Service was good and the restaurant was busy.

This was my first time at Sophies with my friends. The restaurant was very busy with a long waitlist but I read really great reviews about their brunch so wanted to give it a try. The servers were friendly but we waited for almost an hour for our food, which was unacceptable for dishes that are so simple to make. We assumed our order was forgotten because they only came after we reminded a server about our food 40mins later. And when it came, our food was served to the wrong table so they had to make our dishes again in the kitchen. We ordered a Sophies breakfast and two Eggs Bennington (peameal bacon and smoked salmon), and I dont think it was worth the wait. Will brunch elsewhere in the future.

December 22, 2022

Waiting half an hour to be ordered, even you asked the waitress twice We are ready to order , she just was very busy in and out , thinking you as air; then waiting another 40 minutes to get your dish as very very busy kitchen

December 22, 2022

I was eating my salad and as I took a bite I noticed I had bit into something hard to then notice it was a stick. I lost my appetite after that, as it left a gross taste and texture in my mouth. I told the waitress and they did nothing about it, no taking it off the bill or anything. Wouldve been more understanding if they compensated somehow. Completely disgusting I will never go back.

Not a great experience overall. Ill say that the food tasted okay, but it is pricier than youd expect given its average quality. The only good thing I can say about this place is that our waitress was really friendly and the service was fine. The reason for this negative review is because the establishment seems neglected. Some of the patio tables wobble uncontrollably, so much so that the top part of the table we were seated at seemed like it was at risk of falling off. I brought this to the attention of the waitresses and we were moved to another table. We were told that some tables were missing screws which is why they wobbled. Not sure why the owner hasnt looked into this yet given that the waitresses had mentioned that this is a known issue. This is an accident waiting to happen. Theres also a side patio thats in front of what looks like a closed restaurant with dead flowers next door. Not sure why they bother seating guests here, it feels like youre in a different restaurant altogether. Didnt seem like there was enough staff so the waitresses had to run around with their hands full constantly. There are much better brunch spots around the city, I would not recommend this establishment to anyone, nor would I return.

Good food and good coffee! I went there on a Sunday morning with a reservation on Yelp. The reservation actually took quite long but it was okay. We were strolling around the neighborhood. It was supposed to be a 5-star review but I decided to do 3-star because it is an open kitchen there. The chef/staff kept banging dishes and pots in the sink which was quite disturbing to customers sitting right close to it. Perhaps sitting at the patio(or front door) will avoid this problem.

Food is really good and servers very pleasant. Felt like a long wait for the food but if you have the time, its very enjoyable.

My mother and I were looking for a breakfast spot near her place and I honestly picked this place for the name (its also my daughters) but it did not disappoint! The place is visually beautiful and welcoming. The staff are nice and attentive. The coffee is bottomless and most importantly the food was delicious! The portions were generous and the prices were fair for the quality and amount. I had the Sophies classic breakfast and it was fresh, filling and tasty. My mother got the Eggs Benedict and was also very happy with her meal. The eggs are fresh with golden yolks, the home fries are crispy and soft on the inside and the bacon was perfect. Will make this a regular spot for us and love supporting great local businesses.

Decided to try this place for the first time because of all the online posts and reviews but the overall experience was very disappointing. First we added ourselves to the wait list after we arrived and we re told the wait is about an hour. We didn t get a table for roughly an hour and 45 minutes. This is a small place and very busy but that is not an excuse for the super slow service we received. The food was also very mediocre. The pancakes were undercooked and the potatoes were really over cooked. Don t even get me started on what they call avocado toast. Huge disappointment!!!

Have been wanting to try Sophies for a while (especially the pancakes) and the food was lovely. However, I was a little surprised by a few things. We were a table of four adults and two babies, and were told that because we were a a party of six we would be charged an 18% tip. Then, the person taking care of our table pushed me more than once to order something off the kids menu for my eight-month-old infant, even though I explained she couldnt really eat anything off the menu. She also kept saying because you guys are such a large party. Towards the end, I did feel a little weird about coming with my baby.

Food is ok, just kinda average brunch stuff despite the more elevated depiction on the menu. French toast was pretty dry. Almost as if it was just barely dipped in the egg batter as opposed to soaking in it. Service was friendly enough, but I was inexplicably served my meal much earlier than the other 2 in my party leaving me the option of finishing my meal before everyone else or waiting for the other dishes to arrive and eating a cold brunch. Obviously not ideal.

We have lived in the neighbourhood for over 6 years. Finally gave this place a try. Service was slow and generally poor. Food was not good. A chain restaurant would have been more value. Never again.
