50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near East York

“First time dining at this place and I really enjoyed everything about it. Especially the ambiance. It’s a great diner feel with the red booths and checkered floors. The service was excellent. The food delicious. I can see why this place is busy. It’s a great neighbourhood spot to bring your friends and family and have a great meal together.“

“The Service was great but I will never order the pancakes from them again, I was undercooked and dorothy on the inside. I told our waitress and they brought me a new one and It's same thing, either they don't communicate with the kitchen or the people who cook the pancakes just don't care. Eventhough the waitress has rectify the issue and asked me if I want to order something else but everyone already finished eating so end up didn't get to eat.“

“I only leave reviews for what i think is outstanding. I live out of town and was at St Joseph's hospital for a few days for family member. Just googled restaurants near the hospital... and WOW what a find! Interior is lovely. Cozy. And the food was spectacular. I had the Laal Mans Combo (spicy curry goat with rice roti and very small salad). The goat was amazing! I like spice but not super hot and it was perfect for me. What also amazed me, strangely enough, was the rice. I even had to ask what spices they used in it. I was surprised by the answer but I'm not going to give away their secret. Service was fab too... but I went quite early so the there weren't a lot of patrons.“

“Came in here after a long day at the Toronto Zoo and was so pleasantly surprised! This is a hidden gem of Filipino food! Prices are very reasonable and the food is very very amazing!!! Can’t say enough about the flavours!! Our server, Racquel, was super personable, knowledgeable, and knew how much food we needed for our party. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough. :)“

“It was my first time there, as I am not from Scarborough, but met my friend who lives nearby. We both had the peameal bacon breakfast. It said 8 oz. of peameal served. It came with 4 super thick slices. I'm thinking more like 10 oz. minimum!!! Potatoes were grilled, not deep fried, and my eggs were perfect!!!! Great server!!!!! I will go there again just for a road trip!!! One of the best breakfasts I've ever had. I highly recommend!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+!!!!!!“

“Great food, great drinks, great prices, and great service. Will definitely be going back next time I'm in Toronto!“

“Had to stop in for the dill cream cheese. Enjoyed it at a friend's over the weekend. Since I now live in NJ, I can't find dill cream cheese. Also couldn't resist the chocolate babka. Incredible amount of delicious chocolate throughout the loaf.“

“Montreal style sandwich was a 10/10
Turkish breakfast platter was a 9/10 since it was good but they only put half a bagel?
AC on but door is open, outside patio
Watermelon hibiscus 7/10 for my friend but I would rate it a 3/10. It’s not sweet at all, nearly flavourless, and you barely taste the hibiscus.
Lemonade 1000/10 but maybe because I’m a sour girly?
Chefs have high hair up but not in a net which is not my favourite but that’s okay! No problems with hair in my food.

Recommend it to anyone walking to through Kensington!“

“amazing place it's good to try“

“You’ve got to try the bacon here! 👌 It was incredible. The biscuits were fresh and really tasty, and the staff did a fantastic job. Everything was great overall! The only thing I’d say is that the coffee could be a little better. 🤞 Still, keep up the good work! 👏“

“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!“

The menu is enticing and easy to use. Food is presented in an attractive manner and everything tasted delicious. Our server, Alex, was friendly and highly competent at his job. Definite management potential.“

“Love this place for breakfast 🍳. Good lunch and dinner menu as well... bacon 🥓 and eggs 🥚 breakfast.“

“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.“

“We had an amazing experience at Eggstatic Waterloo last weekend as it’s newly open! The food was absolutely delicious even every dish was bursting with flavor. We ordered the Eggstatic Steak & Eggs, Eggstatic Tomato Jacket, Classic Middle Eastern Breakfast with Hummus Foul Bowl, Blueberry Pancakes, and Belgian Waffle. Everything was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, offering great recommendations that we truly enjoyed. The service, atmosphere, and food were all top-notch. We’ll definitely be returning soon!“

“Eggspectation was an excellent start to our morning. The restaurant is bright, clean, and modern, with a welcoming atmosphere that made it a great spot for breakfast.

The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The omelette was packed with fresh vegetables, the fruit was ripe and refreshing, and they had no problem accommodating a simple grilled chicken request for extra protein. The classic breakfast was cooked perfectly, with fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy breakfast potatoes, tasty sausages, and delicious strawberry crepes that were light and not overly sweet.

Service was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Our food came out quickly, and everything we requested was handled without issue.

If you’re looking for a quality breakfast in Toronto with generous portions and plenty of healthy options alongside classic brunch favorites, Eggspectation is an easy recommendation. We’ll definitely be back.“
