Great vibes, always a pleasent visit.
Stopped by our hotel for a coffee run one weeknight and ended up staying for over an hour just soaking in the view of the harbour from their patio seating. The server recommended the smoked meat sandwich and honestly it was one of the better bites I've had this trip, still thinking about it. Place had a nice buzz without being too loud, felt like a proper local spot rather than a tourist trap. Coming from out of province I wasn't expecting to find somewhere this good just wandering...read full review
Love both harbourfront location and this one. The skor cookie is so good

Boxcar Social is a charming restaurant with a lively atmosphere, featuring a retro 80s music vibe and a friendly staff. The menu offers a delightful breakfast selection, including the popular egg & cheese breakfast sandwich, known for its great taste despite its small size. Customers can enjoy freshly brewed coffee, with the Iced Lavender Matcha Latte being a favorite, though considered slightly pricey.
Located in an authentic old building, the restaurant attracts a diverse crowd and has a cozy ambiance on both floors, with comfortable seating and an outdoor patio. While the service can sometimes feel a bit snobby, the staff generally goes the extra mile to enhance the customer's experience. It is a great mid-town spot for studying or working, although it can get busy and is not wheelchair or disability accessible.
The restaurant has received positive reviews, with customers praising the friendly staff, tasty iced tea, and delicious breakfast sandwiches. The London Fog and Strawberry Matcha are also noted as unique and original offerings. The restaurant's pet-friendly patio and music playlist have also been well-received, though the volume can be a bit loud for some.
