Pretty good cause it opens at 6am at the Scarborough location. I have been going there for decades. The food is not the best but I like to have breakfast there. Well, it is better than a lot of HK style food stalls at food courts, but it is not as good as the HK style restaurants.
OG marathon cafe. It’s a community and neighborhood staple cafe that has been here for years.
I started coming here when I worked in the plaza, and it has been a great comfort spot for me. They have traditional hk style tea, coffee and a small assortment of foods that I like for breakfast or afternoon tea.
Their hk style cold milk tea is offered in larger to-go bottles that I sometimes will by and have later at home.

The Marathon Cafe Scarborough offers a mixed dining experience with a convenient location. The breakfast menu is well-received, and the restaurant serves Hong Kong-style and Taiwanese-influenced dishes. Popular items include cold milk tea, hot tea, and the highly recommended beef satay with instant noodles. Recent reviews have noted that the taste of the HK style milk tea remains consistent over the years, adding to the nostalgic experience.
While the prices are great and the food quality is fantastic, some customers have mentioned the need for improvements in hygiene and menu transparency. The staff have received positive comments for being courteous and welcoming, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere. However, there are mixed feelings about certain dishes, such as the pineapple bun topping, which has been noted for excessive food coloring, and the hot HK tea, which tasted bitter when transferred to a metal thermal cup. Overall, the Marathon Cafe continues to be a place where customers can enjoy familiar flavors and a friendly environment.
