Fantastic home-made meals. I always get the juevos rancheros. Great coffee as well

I’ll try to make this as brief as possible.
First and foremost, I firmly believe the yuca fries they serve here are the best within a solid 5 k radius. I’ve gone to several restaurants around The Junction and Roncesvalles area and let me say, NONE of those fries taste, feel or smell as good as the ones they serve here at Cool Hand. These guys have clearly set the standards in that regard. And the Aioli sauce that comes with them… ufff (chef’s kiss). Every time I go there, if I order a sandwich you bet I’ll pay for those side fries.
My second favourite thing (and I’ll admit it’s not everyone’s preference) is the Purple Paradise drink (beetroot and ginger). If a fresh, mildly temperate Saturday morning had a taste, it would taste like Purple Paradise. Laugh all you want, I love this drink.
If you’re thinking about ordering a sandwich I have three real good ones for you; Cheddar Chutney, Tarragon Chicken or the Avocado Parmesan. I haven’t decided which is my favourite. Their bread selection is superb, the sizes are fair and the chef does an excellent job at making them taste delicious. At this point I just alternate between the three of them with every visit. Don’t forget the fries!
Last but not least, the service. I mean, I’m not even a couple of steps fully inside when they greet me and offer me a table. They’ll ask me about my day, answer all of my questions and won’t leave me waiting more than necessary. Love the theme. Love the music, love the staff.
Thank you CHOAG. Keep it up.

Food was okay. Flavors are good but sadly the portions were way too small for the price. Café the olla is tasty but is super small for $5.5 + tax

Honestly, I just had the best breakfast sandwich of my life! Every single part of it was perfect—the flavor, the texture, the freshness—it was like they somehow knew exactly what I wanted in a sandwich. It wasn’t just good; it was mind-blowing. Plus, they whipped it up super fast, so I barely had to wait, and the service was spot-on from start to finish. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed happy to make my day better. If you're looking for a place that does breakfast right, this spot is an absolute gem. Can't wait to come back!

You have to go here and try their Cafe de Olla. Soo tasty and they make it hot or cold. Every time I go here the staff is so happy and friendly. They have vegan options too. The yucca fries are great!! Highly reco for brunch.

My family got lunch to go on a Sunday. We ordered fish taco and slaw, breakfast sandwich and Avocado Parmesan Sandwich and they were all delicious.
Great place for brunch! The food was so delicious and filling. The slaw had a great smoky flavour, and so many dishes could be made vegan and vegetarian! They also could adapt everything on the menu to be gluten free, which was very helpful. I definitely recommend the patio in the summer, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be coming back soon!

The restaurant was very basic and I was expecting very authentic food at reasonable prices. I had the most expensive saduche for breakfast, price/value, of my life. A sandwich with egg and lettuce, a portion of fried yuca and a black coffee for $28 without tip. I better do it at home. Good attention was the exception

The food is not the traditional Mexican fare but it keeps the essence of it with a Canadian spin, chilaquiles are a lot like nachos and huevos rancheros have a slaw on the side rather than the typical lettuce on top but it all works. You can park for free a street or two away and their patio looms nice but it was too hot when we went so stayed inside where they treated us promptly and friendly.
