This is my first time here. Arrive at 1300 and there were 12 tables ahead so you may want to come earlier to wait for a table. Food is good and staff is super nice! I’m not a big fan of egg but my gf said the egg Benedict were nice so I think you guys might have a try of it.
Busy cafe restaurant that can accommodate about 30 to 40 people. Expect to wait for a table on weekends.Food tastes good, for reasonable portion sizes and prices.I recommend the fried chicken and waffle.Staff are friendly and apologetic about the wait time.
Only place in the area that makes a REAL iced americano!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Elephant Grind Coffee, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. First and foremost, the coffee was outstanding. It's clear they take their coffee seriously, as evidenced by their impressive setup, which includes a beautiful La Marzocco espresso machine and a Mythos One grinder right beside it. Even the packaged coffee beans were freshly dated, which speaks volumes about their commitment to quality. The aroma of coffee that fills the air is simply delightful.Additionally, the staff at Elephant Grind Coffee were incredibly friendly and helpful, which greatly enhanced my visit. Their warm smiles and eagerness to assist did not go unnoticed and certainly added to the overall positive atmosphere of the place.However, it's worth noting that the cafe is often quite busy, especially on weekends. You might find yourself facing a lengthy wait time. But is it worth the wait? Absolutely. The quality and care put into every aspect of their service and products mean demand is high, but I can confidently say it was worth every minute.I highly recommend visiting Elephant Grind Coffee. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or just in search of a cozy spot to relax, this cafe is sure to impress.

Expect a wait even when arriving early in the morning. Classic dishes like eggs benedict are good, bulgogi beef is recommended.But chicken+waffles were a bit greasy and fish tacos (11am after menu) were VERY small and fish was soggy.Drink selection is good with lot of unique espresso drinks.You can join the waitlist on an app called Snappy.
Great brunch place. The mushroom benedict is fantastic. Usually there is a long line in the weekends but during week days it is not that crowded.

We waited about 20 mins to sit. The place has time limit of 90 mins, so it was quick turnaround at 10:30am ish. We were thinking that we would come again for the right timing next time.Then the food and service was good but nothing extraordinary, not sure if it’s worth to wait for so long. It must be nice in summer with patio opened though!
Do Not waste your money. This place is a NO NO. Look at the quality of their salad and home fries. My husband and I basically threw away the whole dishes. BTW the smoky salmon in their egg bene taste really wired.

This is a very lovely local restaurant with friendly and patient staff. The waiter offered kid friendly utensils for my children, which was so thoughtful of them. The food was very delicious and well cooked. I highly recommend this place for families and I will be back here again in a heartbeat whenever I’m in Toronto.

The lineup started at 845am. Thankfully, we were there early enough to not wait in line. They have a 90 min dining policy.As we had a larger party, our host took our order last. It took roughly 10 minutes to get our drinks and another 10 for our food ( everything was ordered at the same time)Salmon Benedict : was amazing. Comes with salad and home fries extremely filling can feed 2 people comfortably. They have probably the best salad. It was properly seasoned and not overly soggy.Match Latte: Not sweet, but they provide sugar, which isn't necessary, very good quality leaves.Dietary restrictions: They had other "milk" options. Oat, soy, dairy free.
