Brunch Restaurants near Markham, ON

“great ambiance and great food. just loved it.“

“There is always a wait time of about 30-45 mins. The food is flavored well but arrived cold. Same for the latte, good but not hot enough. Staff is super friendly. My issue is, this was my 2nd time eating here and both times i felt rushed. The staff keeps a close eye on you to see if your finishing up to get you out for the next customer to come in. Hence the rating of 2 stars for atmosphere.“

“So many different choices of waffles here it can get a bit overwhelming! I like how you can pick different sides too including fresh fruit or potato salad. The seating area is comfortable and well spaced out, and seeing the unique art displayed is a plus! Hope to come back soon.“

“Can't comment on the food, but I've been to Rica Cafe a couple of times now and I liked it. It's tucked away in King Square mall, but it has an outdoor patio facing Markland and 16th avenue. Unfortunately when we came this time the patio wasn't open because it was too windy.

The lady who works here is very kind. She made a decaf coffee fresh for my brother who can't drink caffeine. She was also very patient with us with the menus.

It is a little bit of a tight squeeze in terms of seating, so I can imagine it feeling a little crowded when busy.“

“We Look forward to going there. Nice staff great food. ❤️❤️“

“This is my top choice for brunch, and I’ve visited this restaurant many times. I highly recommend the chicken waffle (hands down the juiciest and best chicken waffle in the brunch scene), chashu ramen, hazelnut latte, and either the dessert waffle or pancake. Compared to the Yonge location, both my friend and I much prefer the Leslie location—the food here tastes even better, in our opinion. The service is excellent, especially from the store manager, whose name I don’t know, but he’s always friendly and professional. He even remembers me and my son. One time, I didn’t order dessert for my toddler (to keep him quiet, since dessert usually comes with fruit). I asked if I could buy some fresh fruit instead, and he gave me a small bowl of berries for free. It wasn’t about the cost, but the thoughtful gesture made me feel really appreciated. It’s clear they go out of their way to support guests with young children.

Weekends can be very busy here, and today their ordering system was down when we arrived. Despite this small hiccup, the servers worked hard to keep things running smoothly. There were enough staff to ensure everyone got their order quickly and efficiently, and the food arrived at our table promptly. They maintained professionalism even without the ordering system. At the end, when we went to pay, one dish was incorrect. The employee immediately apologized, double-checked the bill with me, and corrected the mistake. She even said it was fine if I didn’t want to leave a tip, but I believe today’s service was absolutely worth a 15% tip for lunch.

Lastly, I think their prices are relatively low for such high-quality food and exceptional service. All my family and friends love this place!

(Too busy eating today to remember taking pictures!)“

“Nice hidden gem tucked away in the north side of Scarborough. You order via an app from a QR code but the staff was very welcoming, friendly, and attentive to refilling water, and anticipating the guests needs. I had the smoked salmon eggs benny and it was delicious! Looking forward to my next visit“
