Cafe Neon in Toronto

Great little cafe with excellent service and yummy breakfast

I ordered the cilbir, $19. It was a small dollap of yogurt and two eggs with one piece of bread. $20 for a snack!?? it s supposed to be a full breakfast. unreal. don t bother ordering unless you want to spend $60 for a full meal.

Beautiful place. Must visit

How do they make the bagels that good?

Great food staff were excellent

Love, love, LOVED this place! It was a little hard to spot, but once I stepped inside, I realized it was very cute. I work remotely, so this was the perfect place to work. Wifi was very fast and lots of places to park. I didnt get any food but the menu looked FANTASTIC. I ordered an iced matcha and it was perfect---the barista even asked me how I liked it. Now, the most important part---the service! My barista Sean (Shawn?) was so kind and made me feel right at home. I was greeted with warmth immediately upon entering and we ended up having a great conversation. :) Will definitely be going back to this third place.

As a former employee of this place I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. The interior behind the scenes is gross, the dish washing machine is caked in mildew.. oh and they steal your tipouts!! Management is generally always on vacation so don t ever expect anything timely from them response wise

The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is delicious, though the portions felt a bit small. The café itself is adorable Ill definitely be returning! Would recommend : 1) Eggs Cilbur (I replaced the poached for scrambled), the yogurt sauce is delicious 2) Stacked Pancakes

Not a working cafe but great for a sit down brunch! Reasonably priced but pretty limited seating. Really friendly staff though. If you just want a coffee they also take a lot of take out orders.

Decent selection, reasonable prices, friendly staff and overall lovely experience! I strongly recommend you try the Vietnamese Coffee!

We got the full breakfast and the pancakes. Honestly soo delicious will def be coming back!

the most INSANE breakfast bagel i ve ever had

Be cautious, $8 for a miniscule orange juice. Service was perfect and quick. I asked for over medium eggs but sadly got very overcooked eggs. Portion sizes are extremely small compared to cost.

The breakfast sandwiches are amazing and the service is very friendly and welcoming!

My toast was kinda burnt but the rest was really delicious

How is this place still operating idk , small and not tasty portions. Try salmon bowl for 20$ where you get a chunk of salmon and 90% of the bowl salad. Not even mentioning the 3 inch vegan burrito paid 45$ through DoorDash now ordering food again, that s how hungry and unsatisfied I am.My morning is ruined.

I like this place. It s cute and cosy and the service is really nice. They have a lot of gluten-free options as well which works perfect for my diet haha I had a nice time here I got the big breakfast and a cappuccino.

The service was extremely slow with only 1 server on the floor, my coffee took about 15-20 mins to arrive, table was shaky, food didn t meet expectations and also took eternity to arrive, definitely not recommend this place to visit - bad breakfast always gives a bad start for the day

The food was good and the atmosphere was lovely, but unfortunately I found a hair in my falafel salad when I was only half-done my meal. I wasn t interested in having another, as I was fairly grossed out at that point, but instead of comping the meal they gave me only 20% off. I didn t say anything to the waitress, as it wasn t her fault and we were there with out of town guests, but it was really poor service. With that kind of interruption the meal should have been offered for free.

Great coffee and atmosphere

Best blueberry scone I ve ever had, excellent decaf coffee. Cozy atmosphere, solid recommendation.

Great service and coffee. Enjoyed my breakfast it was very filling.

Wont go here again. My friends and I got breakfast to go. It took a very long time despite it not being busy but that was more or less fine because it was a nice day. What was crazy was 2 iced lattes and 2 mediocre sausage and cheese English muffin (literally nothing else in them except a sauce) sandwiches costing $43. The price actually blew my mind. As someone who regularly makes food at home this was just bonkers for food I can make better in fifteen minutes. Everything was just fine. Not worth the cost to me.

Amazing 10 out of 10

Americano and latte were pretty meh, worse than Tim s. Egg and sausage sandwich was pretty bad. Service was fine, but less than OK food and coffee.

Waited 15 minutes after ordering to be told theyre sold out of what I asked for first thing in the morning. Also wouldnt refund the tip, crazy stuff.

Cute place, cozy, and the mushrooms & cheese peinirli was so delicious!

Neat little brunch spot with some Greek influences.

Absolutely great experience! Cozy little cafe with good food (North American with a few Mediterranean options), large variety of organic teas, good coffee, service and music. Highly recommended!

We went here for brunch. I liked their pancakes , fluffy and nice.

One of our favourite brunch spots in the city. We visited on Boxing Day 2023 around 1:30pm and wanted to extend appreciation to the frontline (Mateo and the young hostess at the front) staff. It was busy and they were the only two servers and were super attentive and polite. The kitchen also did a fantastic job getting the food out quickly and deliciously so. Thank you both very much for always making our experience top notch. And special shoutout to the previous staff, who we adored just as much. Sidenote: Blueberry pancakes are top notch!

We really enjoyed our food here! All of us had excellent dishes. I would highly recommend this place for lunch!

Went here for brunch. Miniscule portions for what we paid. Will not come back.

Service was a bit slow but there was only one server working. The food was okay, small portions. But they did have a lot of vegan options.

Amazing and delicious pancakes It s a great place to meet up with friends

Yesterday I went to Cafe Neon for brunch with a friend. It took over 1 hour to get our food. At first the waiter lost our order and then we were told that there was another big order ahead of ours. The sever didn t seem apologetic and was very dismissive. I also ordered a coffee as soon as we sat down and it took over 30 minutes for the coffee to arrive. The food was good, although on the pricey side. I wish my experience was reflective of the positive reviews here. Sadly the customer service didn t live up to my expectations.

Cute, quant cafe with good food. However, the service was very slow. Our home fries were also cold when we finally received them. We told the waitress and she said she would bring out a fresh plate, but she did not. She mentioned it again before paying our bill and we were told the fries would be compensated, but they were not.

A solid brunch location as the eggs and sausage were very good. Coffee was standard fare hence the .

Had a full breakfast. The service was quick even though they were very busy and the food was good.

Great food, music Wheelchair accessibility: Not really, which is too bad Food : 5/5 |

Good service.

Came her for breakfast after an appointment around the corner. Happy with the vegan options on offer! It was delicious and filling. Flat white with oat milk was very nice too!

Price gouging. Criminal size portions. Do not get takeout from these people they will give you half the food that they re advertising and charge you three times as much.

I dont know whats going on with this spot recently cause it used to be great but the last time I went for brunch the service was awful, rude and slow. Today I ordered a couple of breakfast sandwiches for takeout, both sandwiches were missing toppings and there was tomato on one that was only fit for the garbage. Service again was dismissive and rude. There are much better and more consistent spots in the area with better service.

Nice cozy coffee shop on queen street. Thought Id give it a try. Apparently they have a brunch menu too. Might come back to give it a try.

Wow! Amazing find, this restaurant has a sort of old school diner style interior with a fantastic assortment of deliciousness on the menu. Highly recommend the pancakes and sausage patties!

Stopped by this cute cafe for Sunday brunch around Queen St West. We came around 11.30am which is a prime brunch time but surprisingly we only waited for less than 5min! since they have a pretty big space at the back. What we ordered : 1. Eggs Wilbur its basically eggs, garlic, yogurt, herbs etc. and served with sourdough. Which is a really good starter and I love it! its a perfect balance with everything and it doesnt taste eggy which I like. 2. Beef Burger I usually never really enjoy burger for brunch bc I think it can be a bit heavy.. but I decided to get one and wow I would say the patty itself is really really soft and tender mixed n up with the perf glazed onion. But my fav was the potato wedges which sooo good! its perfectly cooked n crispy ill give a 10/10!! 3. The Soup For the soup, it comes with the sourdough bread so you can dip it with the soup. Honestly, im not a big fan for their soup. The soup itself taste more like pumpkin soup but mixed up with other stuff that I cant really explained.. but it tastes pretty strong. which kind of off throws me off at that time. 4. Iced Matcha Latte & Iced Americano For the ice matcha latte its okay for me not the best but its also not that bad I would it just a little bit watery. And you can do anything wrong with iced Americano! Overall was a nice experience for me and I would love to go back and try their other menu and I would def recommend this to my friends!

Amazing food and great staff!

It was the only place around open at 8AM and we re glad to have found it! Just a classic breakfast that didn t look enough but afterwards felt very satisfied!

Coffee was sooo good! They have the right equipment. Coffee lovers, you ll be happy! Brunch was excellent. I ordered the Greek boat pizza (peinirli) & the dough was freshly made! I highly recommend;)

Amazing breakfast and coffee. Split two dishes and the side potatoes and they were all great.

This place is a hidden gem! Our waiter was friendly and took care of us quickly. They had great music playing and our drinks came out fast. I would recommend the Chai latte and the strapatsada! Everything was delicious, especially the bread they serve the breakfast dishes with. We would go here again!

Horrible service, bad food, and too expensive for what you re getting

I had their vegan breakfast wrap and it was pretty good. I think it could have benefited from some more seasoning and maybe some hot sauce as an option. But I was still very happy with it. My partner got the full breakfast with Greek sausage, he loved them! There was a bit of a mixup as our server was training but the staff apologized and all was fine in the end. Vegetarian options: Vegan egg wrap

My partner and I went to dine in for the first time and unfortunately will not be coming back due to less than subpar food. The waitstaff were friendly, however service itself was quite slow. The falafel was so hard I had to saw through it with my knife to eat and the lentils were like biting down on small rocks. My partners hamburger was tasteless. The London fog however was great, and the soup with fresh bread was good.

Hey there! I just stopped by this cute little coffee shop called Cafe Neon, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their coffee. I ordered their signature latte with oat milk and a dash of cinnamon, and let me tell you, it was divine! The coffee was smooth and had a subtle sweetness to it that was just perfect. The ambiance of the cafe was also wonderful, with its cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to catch up with friends or enjoy some alone time with a good book. I loved the decor too, with its neon signs and unique artwork adding a fun and modern touch to the space. Overall, I would highly recommend Cafe Neon for anyone looking for a great cup of coffee and a relaxing spot to enjoy it in. I think its safe to say that this latte was one of the best Ive had in a while! My Instagram: @Dr.Epra

Super cozy vibe and the pancakes... so delicious

The chocolate chip muffins here are the best!

My husband and I have been here two times. We felt welcomed both times. Service was good and food was delicious. This is a hidden gem.

Ordered them through hunger hub . For $24 total, the bowl was barely half filled and the portion tiny. The $5 sausages were one tiny cold sausage sliced in two halves. Was really disappointed. Compared to the other restaurants we order from on set it was underwhelming to say the least. The food itself was just ok. Potatoes were undercooked.

Cute little spot with delicious food!

Food was PHENOMENAL. The mushroom peinirli was honestly one of the best mushroom dishes Ive ever had. Bread was so fluffy. Coffee was also really delicious! Great service, would 100% recommend. Food

It was nice. Good ambience. Servers were lovely. The food was nice, but nothing too fancy/wow. Would maybe come back.

Super slow service but above average breakfast. Matcha was nice but not great.

Not sure where the good reviews come from. Interior was dirty and dingy and honestly smelled horrible when walking towards the back. Service was dismissive. Iced coffee I got was not drinkable and server could care less. Food was simply fine, nothing extraordinary and very pricey for what it was. Maybe was an off day but definitely won t be back and can t recommend.

Rudest staff I ve ever seen in my life. Incredibly ignorant.

Came in and ordered 4 items (for 6 people)- waited and waited for 20 min then were informed that they could only make 2 items and that they could just refund the money for what they couldn t make (they said they had nothing more in the kitchen and couldn t make anything else - we were there at 3pm) I said ok, but noted that I had already tipped 18% on the full amount and could they also refund that? They said no, not possible. I asked if they could do anything else for the inconvenience? They said no, not possible. Pretty terrible.

I recently visited Cafe Neon and had a fantastic time. The cafe had a cozy atmosphere. The food was amazing. The baristas are friendly. The service was excellent, and I left feeling satisfied and relaxed.

Good food, great ambiance & nice servers! Would love to go back again!

I mainly attend Neon for the quality of the food and service. Not many cafe s in Toronto offer the same high level of dining experience.

Great place to lay low and do some work while enjoying a cup of coffee and some pancakes. Great service!

Legit Greek breakfast fare with everything perfectly cooked

Food was very average. We got the vegan wrap which was super bland and had a raw tomato flavour. The meatball flatbread dish was also very tomato-y. Not the best food in town.

Great food. Great staff. Fantastic place!

Some tables are a bit cramped but otherwise this a great spot that puts their own flair on classic meals.

Food took a very very long time and then came out wrong the first time which was surprising as the place was very empty. They happily agreed to change the food and the second time the order also came out incorrectly but we ate it anyway. Food wasnt amazing. Bathrooms were quite nasty.. Seemed like the staff there were not very organised as often there was no one around and everything took a long time

It was just bad from the very beginning. They didn t take our order for 20min and then three other people came and asked if we ordered. Very disorganized. Didn t bring half of our order. Pancakes were RAW! That was shocking. HOW CAN A COOK MESS UP PANCAKES? That s the easiest thing! Do not recommend

The food was delicious I got the eggs benedict! I wanted to try the Thai Iced Coffee but it was sold out. So instead I had an expresso Martini and it was pretty decent! Ill be back again!

Food was delicious. Great atmosphere. OJ was on the expensive side, aside from that. Overall experience was great

I had lunch here. The food was like home made. Will go back again.

cute little cafe and their vietnamese cafe is the best!

Didnt get a chance to try the food because no one came to our table once we got seated.

Met a friend here for brunch last Saturday around 11am and there were a good number of tables available in the back when we arrived. I ordered the eggs cilbur which was tasty, but I felt the portion was quite small. I appreciate that they have some unique menu items vs what you typically see at most brunch spots. Service was friendly but not the most attentive (they didnt really come around to check on water/coffee refills, for example). There was one staff who was frequently berating one of the servers well within earshot of the diners, which was difficult to ignore and didnt make for the most pleasant experience. 3.5/5

Great bar, kind staffs. Their drinks are pretty strong haha I asked them to put less shot in my cocktail, and they offered to give that less shot separately! Nice of them.

Great food and coffee. Just order ahead because it always takes a very long time to prepare

Great vibe and food

Our goto place for brunch on queen west. Never disappoints and the staff are exceptional

Very cute cafe !! Server Sydney was wonderful <3

Always amazing, the bacon breakfast bagels is on another level

Nice food but our drinks order was never delivered. We reminded the waitress once and still never came even after that. Otherwise pretty good!

A cute place with delish good & drinks The space felt a little crammed though, it was hard to slide in and out of the booths with the COVID dividers (which fall quite easily). I had a nice brunch with friends, though, for about $30

Food is disappointingly mediocre, overpriced for what it is, and poorly portioned. Great service but otherwise disappointing.

The cutest brunch spot!! With additional seating in the back, amazing service and quality food you cant go wrong. Definitely coming back

Great ambience. Can get busy so finding a seat may be hard.

Good place for brunch - their salad was my favourite! They also have really good Vietnamese coffee

Heavily overpriced for some bread and eggs. I wouldn t recommend this place. The vibe was nice but the food wasn t worth the price.

Really great options! Loved the Eggs Cilbur for brunch. Will definitely be back!

Great food and good atmosphere

Best breakfast bagel around!

Delicious but small pancakes and really tiny portion of fruit and greek yogurt. $26 tips included cappuccino pancakes

Great friendly staff with healthy variety of choices - all day breakfast is found here

Nice staff and good service. We tried Eggs Cilbur and Stacked pancakes . Everything was good and the only reason I am giving 4 stars is about the portions (coffee as well) considering price.

Tasty brunch and has vibes.

This is definitely a new go-to brunch spot. Amazing food. Loved loved loved the garlic-y yoghurt in the eggs cilbur. Also ordered some pancakes on the side and they did not disappoint! Super filling and reasonably priced.

A place with lots of variety and super friendly staff. The food is tasty and affordable.Will definitely go again when in the area. Vegetarian options: Variety of vegetarian options! Dietary restrictions: Accommodating to common allergies.

The place is cozy, staff is nice, but the cafe latte wasnt good, milk was burn

Service was good, even though they were not serving, the waitress went out of her way to accommodate us. The food was good too, a but pricey but was worth it. Would go back.

Friendly staff, nice outdoor patio, a good selection of teas & coffes, breakfast is excellent but could be more on the plate especially, the pancakes which is very good.

Charming place visited as part of the Amazingco picnic experience. The service was good, the red pepper dip was delicious

I have to hold myself back from getting their sausage breakfast sandwich it s so good. Also, their staff has always been super super friendly. Love coming here!

great food and great space!

Very good food, very... I guess Id call it passive/offhand service.

The food was great. We loved that there was a pork-free breakfast option, something you don t see often when ordering breakfast from a restaurant. Really good coffee too. And the whole staff from the person who greeted us, to our waiter, to the person who cleaned our table at the end were so incredibly lovely. We were in from out of town but we want to come back just to eat here again!

Savoury savoury savoury Authentic Greek breakfast. Delicious combinations of sweet and savoury with home made yogurts. The fresh juice is delicious as well.

Hands down one of the best local brunch spots! The menu is incredible, the service is always outstanding and the prices are super fair - you ll be waiting for some time on busy days, but that s only because the staff is hustling behind the counter and it s totally understandable (well worth the wait). I ve been there twice now and both times my boyfriend and I have left raving about the whole experience! Also the Vietnamese coffee is 10/10

This was hands down one of the best brunch experiences Ive had in a while! The service was spectacular, one of the nicest and most welcoming servers Ive had in the city. I would go back just for the kind service! I had the full breakfast and a strawberry rosewater passionfruit lemonade they were INCREDIBLE.

The manager is amazing. Great ice tea!!

Really great food here! Came for breakfast and I would highly recommend Cafe Neon for a wonderful tasting meal that goes beyond just toast and eggs. I had the eggs cilbur brunch plate: two perfectly poached eggs on a bed of Greek yogurt with an amazing chimichurri sauce and chili butter, and light, golden, buttery sourdough bread. I added a side of bacon to top it off. The peinirli is also highly recommended. You have a choice of soutzoukakia, or mushroom and cheese - basically a doughy bread topped with delicious cheese and a couple of poached eggs. The coffee was also amazing and I really loved the space. Really big and airy/laid back nice for casual or serious meetings over food: or snacking and working the service was wonderful and I would definitely come back.

havent had coffee, so I cant judge that, but the vegan wrap is delicious and perfect for breakfast. kind crew and neat interior make for an amazing whole. would definitely recommend Vegetarian options: vast, vegan even Dietary restrictions: vegetarian and vegan options Wheelchair accessibility: its on the ground floor

Food is ok but I just got two salads and my order was 20 minutes late (in addition to already taking longer than expected when the time it would be ready was posted (so about half an hour late from what was anticipated when I placed the order)

Spicy but good, friendly service. They were out of many dishes on the menu

Fantastic breakfast sandwiches whether you dine in or take out

The breakfast I had at Neon Cafe was the best meal I had while visiting Toronto! I ordered the breakfast bagel - vegetarian - with a side of potatoes. The mustard mayo for the potatoes is to die for! The bagel was so fresh and the egg was perfectly done. As well, the atmosphere is relaxed and beautifully decorated with great service and kind staff. I will definitely be coming back next time I m in Toronto.

We really enjoyed the hot chocolate with cream, full breakfast and blueberry pancakes. So good, I took one home for my son and he loved it! The girls were very friendly too. I recommend! Food : 5/5

Highly recommend the Sausage and Egg breakfast sandwich. Great service, tasty food and lots of beverage options. You can order to go, as well!

Food and coffee were good but service was very slow (which happens and is understandable) but multiple food items were forgotten and we were not checked on. Asked for water multiple times without success. Half of our party were finished their meals before the other half received their plates. Was tasty but might be better to stick to take out than dine in

It was fine, nothing special. Wouldnt be my first choice for a Diner breakfast, but certainly would go back with friends if I was in the neighbourhood. Vegetarian options: A decent amount of veggie options.

$18 full breakfast comes with HALF a sausage. $5 to add extra sausage which is once again HALF a sausage thats been butterflied to look like 2 pieces. What a joke. Pathetic.

Yum! Both dishes pictured were amazing, though I m forgetting their names. Not sure how busy the weekends get, but we got there when they opened & easily got a table. Coffee was good, too. Our server was friendly & the food came out promptly.

They have brunch in the back with lattes and great food.

Long wait!

Lovely restaurant with great drinks and a unique brunch menu! Will be back!

Good vibes. Tasty food.

Long wait And poor customer service And rude

The red lentil falafel salad is amazing! Super quick and friendly service as well. Thanks for a great lunch.

best breakfast sandwich in the city!

I was going to give this place a 3 star rating because of the quantity for take out (see photo) it was scant and came up to $21. My honest rating would be a 3.5z. The only reason I have it 4 stars was because the food was actually pretty yummy. I love that they put in some veggies in there (a salad with yummy dressing) and the bread was delicious. I don t know that I d come back here for pick up. The quantity of food looks much better for dine in.

Ordered takeout through Hungerhub. Ingredients innacurate, particularily Mayo and Chipotle Mayo not listed as an ingredient.

Excellent! Delicious food! Varied menu!

Neon is THE place to have a great meal. Tasty, good service and a really fair price. I recommend!

Great coffee!!

I ve had a great and pleasure experience when I went have a delicious brunch in cafe Neon. The staff was really friendly, food was delicious and price is fair. Definitely will come back many times. I would like to give a special shout out to the kitchen staff, not just because they prepare the best brunch in town but also because they were very friendly and welcoming when I was passing by it to go to the back of the store. Strongly recommend.

Excellent food

Amazing place, simply delicious. My favorite spot for a cup of cappuccino.

Amazing

great place, excellent service!

Excellent menu

Nice and cozi spot with great food!

The best in the city! I recommend!!!

Really nice place for a coffee, the staff is real friendly.

Ive been to Neon and feel surprised. The food is excellent, the service is good and the price is the best part LOL. For sure Ill be back!

Top!!

Great place!

Great breakfast experience! The bagel breakfast sandwich was delicious and the blueberry pancakes are just perfect. Will come back for sure.

Had the breakfast sandwich with coffee, it was absolutely delicious. The staff was the friendliest, well definitely be back!

I walked in on Queen after dropping by two other spots, friendly staff, excellent food and fair prices. I would recommend for breakfast/brunch.

Delicious lunch for two with tasty refreshing bottle of white wine on a hot summer day- vegan and non vegan happily fed

Wonderful friendly staff!! My go-to is the Bacon Breakfast Sandwich served on a sesame bagel. Bless Ritual for seamless pick-up.

Great for a low-key Sunday brunch. Lots of room on the patio and delicious food. Caesars were fantastic

Definitely a must try ! This cozy cafe has the most delicious smoked salmon bagels, and smooth espresso. The service is 10/10, both the barista and the manager Remo checked in on me. I highly recommend

Amazing coffee and pastry, 100% recommended!

Great little spot with a nice patio. The Caesar Salad was great and the service was excellent! Thank you Remo for going above and beyond Will definitely be back!

Spacious restaurant, incredibly reasonable prices and the friendliest staff! There is a ton of seating in the restaurant with plexiglass partitions between tables. Proper covid protection with vaccine passport checks. Food was delicious and hit the spot. Great options for brunch and lunch. Definitely get the wedges as these are the perfect amount of crispy and soft. The eggs and the chicken entrees on the breakfast menu are also really good. Its a very chill spot away from the street hustle and bustle if you choose to dine inside.

Such friendly and awesome staff! Went in for a Ritual $1 matcha latte deal and was so touched by how nice the two baristas were! Ill definitely have to come back again soon for dine-in to take full advantage of the amazing hospitality!

Basic. Cute-ish. Had a chicken sandwich, too much overcooked batter, nothing else on the plate.

Delicious sausage breakfast sandwich! So simple, yet so delicious! That chicken sausage patty is Mu friends also loved their meal! Haven t been here in years - and it s still so good. And this was our first indoor brunch dining experience since the pandemic - the separating plexi glass made it feel really safe for us! And really friendly waiter, too. Can t wait to come back again.

Delicious and very upscale for what we paid for!

the pepper and coffee and napkins were amazing

Delicious mochas!

Yummy and friendly staff! I felt bad the guy seemed to be the only one working and it was so busy! He still gave us great service:)

Great place for brunch!

Cozy cafe. Nice environment, not my fav food tho. The pulled pork could be little juicier and the full breakfast a bit bigger portion.. other than that good!

LOVE their smoothies, chicken wrap, and bagel! Amazing team!

Nice place, good quality food and professional staff. I ordered the Blueberry pancakes. The taste was good but was a small portion for the price.
