First time dining in at The Breakfast Stop was an excellent experience. The staff was super friendly and attentive, the vibes are high, and the food was of course incredible. Great spot!

Such a tasty and nice place to have breakfast/brunch/lunch.
Really nice food and normal prices. We tried the vegetarian bowl and the scrambled toast and it was really delicious.

Food was cold. Won't go back. I ordered The Sausage Bowl, my eggs were hard and cold. The sausage was dry. The coffee is extremely unpleasant. Discovery coffee is bitter and not enjoyable.
Won't return. Won't recommend.

Was looking for a good breakfast sandwich with a gluten free bun and I found it. I got the bacon egg and cheese and added hash browns onto it. So delicious!! Also very clean bathrooms which is a plus.

The toast and Jam was the best I’ve ever had, the bacon egg bite was very dry, not worth it.

I have been working overtime to love this place.

My first visit, I got the steak salad which I didn’t LOVEEE (the meat was a bit tough) but it wasn’t terrible. 2nd visit, I got all the way through my breakfast sandwich feeling like something was off. After I finished I realized it was the bacon that got missed (kinda funny actually that I didn’t notice sooner). It was very busy this day and I understand mistakes happen. Sandwich was lukewarm at best. I didn’t love the bacon jam or bun, but chalked that up to personal preference and perhaps an off day. I very well could have mentioned this on-site, however as another reviewer mentioned the lineup is so long and awkward so I didn’t feel particularly inclined to complain. I visited for a third time and tried the sausage breakfast sandwich this time, and was equally if not more disappointed than the previous visit. I think it’s the bun and temperature. The bun is unevenly cut and dry.

Again, this could all be personal preference but I really wanted to love this place as all my friends and family are frequent guests.

This place is insanely busy so they are obviously doing something right. The hashbrowns are great (although I believe this is supplied by a separate entity?). The employees are great and seem genuinely happy to be working there. The location, branding, and network of partners certainly bolster their initial success, but I’m just not getting the WOM hype.

TO BE FAIR, I HAVE BEEN VISITING AT PEAK TIMES ON WEEKENDS* pls consider changing your buns and then I will be happy

Ordered an Iced Matcha. Had an intense fishy taste, stronger than most seafood I’ve had. It had a dusty green colour. Dumped it out immediately. DD so I couldn’t ask staff to remake/make something else. Don’t know if they would’ve.

Amazing food, great vibes and super friendly staff. Thrilled to see Jian Bing now on the menu. Favorites include the vegetarian bowl, steak salad, egg white bites, sautéed kale, rocket salad and the classic bacon egg and cheese sandwich. The salted chocolate rye cookie is a must-try!

Great food for breakfast or lunch. Excellent gluten-free selections. The GF chicken thighs are amazing: crispy and tender. The pastries are equally delicious. Reasonably priced, great outdoor patio.

Great space, amazing service. They play records haven't asked if they would play something someone brought with them. The food is amazing only did 4 stars because it sometimes take a few extra minutes. Other the that top 3 breakfast in town!
