50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near East York

“This 50s style diner is clearly a neighbourhood favourite. We came on a weekday for brekkie at 10am and it was busy. We quickly got a table and were pleasantly greeted and immediately brought coffee. Portion size was just enough and prices were reasonable. The turkey bacon was a little over done as were the breakfast potatoes. Maybe just an off day? I won't hold it against them. Not great for street parking as it is close to a busy intersection, but if you are able, park a little south and its much easier to park. Overall, a pleasant experience.“

“I remember going for lunch when I was in junior high back then ❤️Great food“

“The sandwich I ordered (Meat Lover) was super delicious! Staff are super friendly! Would come back anytime!“

“Delicious treats, amazing Americano and such friendly staff! Looking forward to visiting again!“

“Went there with 3 friends at 12 noon on a Sunday with no reservations. Place was packed but they said about a 15-20 minute wait. They were pretty true to their word. Waitress was quick to approach us (sorry I didn't get her name). Ordered our food and did not wait long at all for our food to be ready. Food was phenomenal! Each of us ordered different things and there was not one complaint. Highly recommend.“

“Had a spectacular birthday on Sunday. Seon was super fabulous, friendly and did not disappoint. The French toast was incredible, delicious and the presentation warrants one needs to go again and again. Second visit and both times the staff was exceptional and willing to please. The overall vibes and service 5⭐️ Will be back.“

“Had brunch here: Americano and a smoked salmon toast which came with salad and roasted potatoes. It was all flavourful and well balanced. Sampled my friend's sandwich (with their permission), so delicious! The staff is very nice and service is prompt. The environment is very welcoming, my only suggestion is for shades/blinds because the sunlight was intense through the large windows. Other than that, don't change a thing. I plan to go back and try everything on the menu.“

“Randomly found but will be back if we’re in the area. Staff are over the top friendly and food was excellent. Thank you!“

“Absolute gem of a place to eat!!! Amazing food and our server Mitzuko was on it!!!!! 11/10 will be back!!!!!“

“I ordered lechon belly at the last minute, and they asked what time the event was so they could advise the best time to pick it up so that the skin remains crispy. Everyone loved it! Very flavorful meat throughout partnered with delicious sauce. Will definitely order again! So will everyone at the party!“

“We had a wonderful experience at this breakfast spot. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. Despite our large group of 10, the staff were incredibly accommodating and handled everything with a smile. The service was prompt, and they made us feel right at home. I highly recommend the breakfast skillet, it was made to perfection. If you're looking for a place that combines great food with friendly service, this is definitely the place to go!“

“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Hadrian, the manager of OEB Breakfast Toronto, since the restaurant opened in March 2022. He’s an exceptionally down-to-earth and kind individual who goes above and beyond to ensure every customer has a great experience. Over the years, I’ve witnessed him handle even the most difficult situations with professionalism and grace. Hadrian’s photographic memory is remarkable—he never forgets a customer! Beyond the restaurant, his generosity shines in our Liberty Village community. Whenever there’s a community event, he supports us with gift cards, which is always appreciated. Under his leadership, the OEB Breakfast team is friendly, the service is impeccable, and the menu keeps getting better and more creative. The community loves what Hadrian and his team bring to Liberty Village, and we hope to continue supporting OEB Breakfast in return. Thank you, Hadrian, for everything you do!“

“Laid back place I go regularly for the Big breakfast. Prices are reasonable, the owners are kind and the place is clean. I prefer eggs over easy with bacon and rye toast, comes with potatoes and slices of orange which I love having after eating.“

“The owner/chef used to be the head chef at a fine Italian restaurant so all the dishes are good and some are exceptional - like most of the soups from the soup of the day and the breakfast dishes.“

“One of the best breakfast spots in Toronto! Homeway is a charming neighborhood gem with a menu full of hearty, comforting breakfast choices. While everything is delicious, I keep going back for their eggs Benedict—perfectly poached eggs topped with a hollandaise sauce that’s truly to die for. It’s often packed (for good reason), but the warm vibe and consistently great food make the wait absolutely worth it.“

“Unbelievably delicious omelette! I've passed by for awhile and finally had the time to stop. It was a great decision, the atmosphere was relaxing, staff welcoming, prices reasonable but best of all the quality of food and taste was amazing. I think I found a new favorite <3“

“The Best Breakfast I’ve ever had. Huge portions , great price , friendly & attentive staff. The meals are to die for😃. It was a great bday treat , great time with my sons and my man. Highly recommend this place 🥳🎂🥂“

“This place is absolutely amazing. Can’t believe I have forgotten to leave a review. We have been visiting Nora and the rest of the awesome team here since we moved to the neighborhood. The food is amazing, portions good, and the home fries are the best in the city.“

“Just had a delicious breakfast sandwich and very good coffee here.“

“Had such a lovely meal at this Eggsmart. I ordered a classic eggs benedict and it hit the spot for me. The coffee was also the best regular coffee I've ever had. There's a server named Vlad who works here, and they were very down to earth and made our experience so wonderful. Thank you Vlad!“

“Breakfast is the important meal of the day and we like to eat our brekky here at Sunset Grill because, they have delicious breakfast menu, very filling and the staff are friendly. 😊👍“

“I live in the area and grew up getting wraps from Lazy Dasiy’s when they first opened. I usually get a BLT (10/10), yesterday I changed it up and got a son-of a-rise (10/10 too). It took some time and I wasn’t in no rush. The worker, didn’t get their name, was super kind even gave me a free fruit cup after I inquired about it! I used to work in food service and understood the wait, I truly didn’t mind. Went back this afternoon, same worker helped me and sat me down and was super kind again! It was my first time dining in and definitely will again! Didn’t wait long either!“

“Good food with a very pleasant staff.“

“I am customer of the new and upgraded maple cafe with new owners. You have to try maple 🍁 cafe breakfast and lamb Tibs . I highly recommend it! 👍👍👍👍“

“Love this place . Awesome staff“

“Amazing breakfast and lunch! The food was exceptional - breakfast and lunch. Amazing service. Food was fresh and the restaurant was quiet and chill. Over all had the best breakfast from my trip to Toronto. We returned the next day for round two!“

“Best for more pics view my YouTube channel that is “ Lovers of Entertainment ““

“Hunter's Hut is fantastic! The food is delicious, the ambiance is cozy, and the staff are incredibly friendly. Every dish is crafted to perfection with generous portions. Whether for a casual meal or a special occasion, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“Good Resturant, good food everybody should come and try“

“We weren’t sure if the restaurant was open since the parking lot was empty, but it was a quiet Monday morning at 8:45 AM. Turns out, we were the first to arrive! Service was fast, and the menu had a great variety of options. As an eggs Benedict connoisseur, I have to say the Fetty Guac was absolutely delicious! I even brought my own capers because, in my book, no eggs Benedict is complete without them. The portions were massive, making it well worth the visit. Something to note is that there is a change table for babies in the ladies bathroom. Super convenient. A big thank you to Abi for the warm smiles and attentive service!“

“fast and reasonable price.“

“I had breakfast here and it was spectacular!! I am normally a very picky eater being a vegan but the food was fresh, fast, so tasty and the price was very very reasonable compared to other breakfast places. I highly recommend anyone coming here to eat. Thank you Sunset Grill!

Vegetarian options: The guacamole was superbly tasty!“

“Love eating there with my daughter and son-in-law!“

“Nice spot on the Danforth if you want a light lunch. There’s a small patio. Cafeteria style. We ordered a BLT and a grilled sandwich - black forest ham and Swiss cheese. They were both tasty but a little on the expensive side for simple sandwiches. The food was good so we’ll visit again and definitely recommend to others.“

“Excellent service! Super fast. Friendly staff, and most importantly good food! :)“

“You had me at Eggs Benny. A breakfast so good- we even hear about it in Muskoka. Great service. Awesome selection but it's the Benny for the WIN. Thank you for being open on Christmas Day.“

“Food was great, although serve was very slow and at times non-existent though I guess they must be short staffed. ordered $17 waffles only to see no whip cream and after hounding down a waiter was told there was none. I mean, if that's the case, fine. But don't just walk away and hope we dont notice. let us know. offer a discount or add extra fruit aside from the 2 strawberry and 5 blueberries. like do anything!“

“Súper rico y muy amables todos al atender a los comensales“

“Sooooooooooooo good!!!! 🤤“
