If I could marry a breakfast sandwich, it would be the Gold Standard Breakfast Sandwich from this place. Honestly, after a fun night that involved too many drinks, this sandwich is my emergency contact. It is straight-up FIRE! đĽ
The bacon is clearly top-quality, but the real magic trick is the holy trinity of scrambled eggs, sharp cheddar, and that amazing aioli. The first bite is an experienceâit doesn't just satisfy your breakfast craving; it performs an intervention on your soul and tells you everything is going to be okay. It just hits home.
We also absolutely love the setup here! We had our dog with us, so the convenient order window was a total lifesaver. No awkward moments leaving our furry friend outside alone while we sorted out our cure. Itâs a perfect spot for grabbing and going.
Weâve visited their other location too, and they are both equally incredible. Gold Standard, you are the gold standard of breakfast.

We came on a Sunday morning and the wait wasnât too bad, about 10 mins after ordering to receive the food. This place is a takeout window located outside so there isnât that much seating however you can go over to Reunion Coffee down the street for more seating options.
We ordered the Gold Standard sandwich with bacon and The Alternative. I personally thought The Alternative was a lot tastier than the Gold Standard sandwich since it had a bit more going on with all the fillings. The Standard sandwich didnât really stand out taste wise to me and I personally did find the pickles a little odd. I also donât know how I feel about bacon breakfast sandwiches, I feel like the bacon can come apart easily since itâs in strips.
Of all the breakfast sandwiches we tried the ones here were definitely the smallest size wise. We actually were still a bit hungry after eating so if youâre looking for something more substantial this place ainât it.
We also got tangerine juice which was decent, nothing to write home about. All in all, was interesting to try since we were in the area but def not my top pick for breakfast sandwiches in Toronto.

Good sandwich but borderline hostile service for having an ethnic name. Spelled out my name twice to staff just for their system to âauto-correctâ my name. After watching people who ordered nearly 10 mins after me get their orders, I approached the window to ask if they had my order to be rudely be told that whatâs on the window is what they have. After waiting again I gave up and just pushed on having waited 20+ mins to find that my order had been ready under âKurtisâ.

I got the vegan sausage breakfast gold standard and it was really tasty and surprisingly filling. Wait time was a bit long even though the line wasnât that long but itâs fine food was good. If you are in the area I would recommend to give it a shot itâs tasty! FYI there is no seating so keep that in mind!

Great! Just watch out when you eat because it can be a bit greasy, but hey, thatâs what makes it so good right?
The burgers are very basic for the price tag. I tried but not going back again eventhoug they are just 3 minutes walk for me. I asked for a napkins, but nowhere to find when I got the burger.

My first experience at Gold Standard was awful. Staff was rude, unwelcoming and borderline unapproachable. Came for a specific item, and the employee said ever so rudely said that âitâs sold outâ (it was an hour after they opened up). Regardless of it being sold out, the employee didnât have any follow up. No, âsorry itâs sold out, would you like to try any of our other items?â - just an abnoxious âitâs sold outâ. My friend and I just sat there for 15 seconds waiting for the individual to speak - but it was so awkward and unwelcoming we had to leave. Awful experience.
