for a Sunday, the music is very loud. we asked them to reduce the volume but they said no. the staff is unpleasant and refuses any request from us.

I would say the food and atmosphere is exceptional. I ordered the chicken & waffles - the protein was cooked perfectly, waffles delicious, and the hot honey sauce very tasty. They also provided me with a shot of maple syrup at no extra charge. Portion sizes are what you’d predict for a quaint café/bakery style Toronto brunch spot: on the smaller side but still reasonable given the prime location. The prices are quite steep (nearly $7 for a little cappuccino) but honestly for Liberty Village, what do you expect…Only negative I could say is the service could have been a bit more prompt - the food came fast but I would have liked the water glasses to be replenished quicker but all around it was a fantastic experience. Would highly reccommend. 4/5 stars

I've been to School quite a few times. I have no issues with their food. It's all very tasty and I would come back just for that.My issue this time around is that they have music BLASTING to the point you can't even hear the guests you're there with unless you're yelling. In addition, I asked the for the music to be turned down just a SMIDGE because one of my guest is deaf in one ear and I don't want themto be isolated from a group convo. As a person with no hearing issues, even I had trouble hearing the people across from me and my ears were ringing from how loud the music was. They declined my request to turn it down a knotch because the loud blasting music is a part of "their brand". You're still a restaurant at the end of the day, not a night club. You customer come as a group to eat and socialize. I'm sure most would like to hear each other especially during brunch time.I was not asking for unreasonable accommodation and something about turning down this request when my guest has a hearing disability seems not right.Overall this put a damper on a perfectly sufficient service.
The atmosphere is good.I always eat waffle chicken and blueberry pancakes.It's delicious and the service is also good.

School was recommended to me by a local and boy am I glad it was. The place was so inviting. Someone was very witty and clever with the decorating and naming of the menu choices which is something I absolutely enjoy, respect and appreciate. I loved the quiet sit down environment with the outstanding customer service. And as if that wasn't enough to give cudos about, the food was heavenly. I was so thankful that this was suggested to me while in town.

Excellent food, fun atmosphere, not a long wait, and ther services is good overall. Definitely worth it. I plan to go again and highly recommend. The chicken and waffles are a must try. Some vegan and vegetarian options available as well.
The vibe is unique and amazing. Staff are very nice even though they are absolutely busy. The menu is very limited but great taste and portion size. There are not much cafes with identity in Downtown Toronto but this is one of the spots that you will always remember!
I ordered veggie burger and it had no salt.. , didn't like the food.fries were burnt and without salt.

Decent food. Though breakfast options are limited. No omelette!Service is ok but dry. The crew is perhaps unfriendly. No smiles. No welcoming attitude. All business like. They could loosen up a bit.Paid parking is the only option.

A solid breakfast place. Their pancakes and coffee are my favourites. The chicken and waffles are a close second. A bit busy on the weekends but that’s a good sign. Just make sure you get there close to opening time to get seated quickly.
Food is really tasty but the drink portion is abysmal.The super cheesy bacon french toast was really decadent, though I wish it came with more bacon. I liked that it came with a side salad to balance out the greasiness. The pancakes are also super decadent and great if you're into pancakes.I got a pear lychee lemonade and was super disappointed by how tiny it was for $7.50! It's literally less than 250ml. Flavour was just ok. Also don't bother with the cocktail version of this lemonade - it's much more expensive for a similar or even smaller portion (I saw another table order it).Service was fine. Tip options start at 20% which is just silly. I'm not tipping 20% unless someone does an amazing job.
My favorite brunch location in Toronto.
