I have been coming here for the past 5 years ever since a good friend of mine took me here for breakfast, so it breaks my heart to hear that they're closing their doors. In those 5 years, I have made so many memories here. I have brought countless of other people to dine with me, I've celebrated important milestones here, but what I'll really miss is just coming here to get away from the world and eat on my own. BTW was always one of those spaces where I knew I could get a good meal in a comforting atmosphere. The servers were always kind, the food was always good, and they had (IMO) the best brewed coffee in the city. Its hard to think that I won’t be able to make more amazing memories here in the future; but I'll always be grateful for the handful of great memories I did make. I'll miss the coffee brewed with a touch of cinnamon, the dill hollandaise in their eggs dilemma, the funky mural on the dining room wall, sitting at a table by the window watching people go by, or sitting at a table by the tree they clearly built their entire patio around. Most of all, I will miss just being there and I don't think it’s a place I'll every stop missing. I also speak on behalf of the many other people who I know feel the same way. Thank you for everything BTW, you won’t be forgotten.❤️

Ordered the eggs Benedict brunch. Home fries tasted old, everything else was ok but a little underwhelming. An ok experience, but I don't think I would return.

The British server was super nice and accommodating. The food is simply average and doesnt surprise. The portions are really small, at least the brunch portion, my salad had literally 2 spoons, the eggs were super cheap and small too. Prices could be better, but they are ok. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back

Used to come here for brunch a lifetime ago. An Annex staple in a neighborhood that changes often. My barber a few doors down for a decade now.
Finally stopped in for a wonderful and perfect dinner.
Excellent Mussels, delicious sauce.
My steak frites was perfection and the greens were lovely too.
A Port after dinner, lots of Annex people watching on a sunny day.
To say the staff are welcome here is to understate, you will never regret stopping in here ❤️

Simple, fresh food, that is not pretentious. The coffee (decaf Americano) was exceptional. Our server Dhalia was efficient, attentive, professional and kind.

Really enjoyed the food and dining experience! Delilah was so sweet and the steak and eggs were lovely :) 10/10 would recommend!
Great service. Good food. Servers checked on me super smiles and eye contact just the right amount of time. Great view of Bloor St0reet. It was chilly seated by the opening and closing door.

Lovely downtown bistro. They keep their menu small, which means the kitchen is not stretched too thin trying to create dishes from 10 different cuisines. On busy nights, service can be a bit slow, but hey ...it allows more time to socialise. Food is consistently great and delicious.
