Had the same as last time - Smoked Salmon Waffle Toast. This time I had mashed potatoes instead of fruit. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. They were really good. Service is friendly. Place was crowded. It was a very filling brunch. Next time I must try something else

It was amazing the waffles were delicious very fluffy and very big but not thick the peanut butter one is awesome I loved it. Very cheep 15$ for 4 big waffles. The only thing is that the decor isn’t to everyone’s liking I loved the place 10/10 would recommend if ur looking for waffles in Toronto.

Shock... and then Awe!I've enjoyed this location a handful of times with my kids. Yesterday was interesting.. I used the Ritual app to pick a breakfast sandwich for after my gym workout. Saw a few options, called in and walked over.When I paid, I felt slightly shocked at the price, for what I THOUGHT I was getting to eat, the Western sandwich...Then I got back to my car, feeling the HEFT of the bag on my way out, and opened up the BIGGEST sandwich my eyes have seen in a while. Seriously!From the double rectangular waffles, to the eggs and additional ingredients, I was VERY satisfied. Very.The side of fresh fruit, salad and delightful nature of the owner and chef at an off-peak time was great as always. And the americano was superb. I'll have to find out the beans they use, smooth as silk.So, price/sticker shock caught me off guard, but well worth every penny!!

The service was excellent. The presentation of each plate..beautifully plated.. waffles were delicious. We are from central Ontario, will definitely be back when in Toronto!! Just a suggestion…have maple syrup as side option!!! If you have not been, you gotta go there! We spent $100+ however we were five and all had tea or coffee..lattes included!Vegetarian options: Vegan option waffle and fruit was delicious..abundance of fruit..strawberries, blueberries, bananas, pineapple, watermelon,, …so good!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegan options..

Kept blasting sia and the food was okay. Got the brunchwich. Unfortunate because the service was quick and nice. The potato salad was store bought.

Had the strawberry cheesecake dessert waffle and matcha latte! Me and a friend went on a Monday morning so it was definitely not as busy as it would be on a weekend maybe, so the service was super fast and efficient.Food was delicious too! Will definitely be returning another time. It was worth the commute

The food wasn't great. Nice service. Got chicken waffles - not great. I did enjoy the smoothie. The potato waffle was mash potatoes cooked in a waffle maker.

Went there for sunday brunch before it got too busy and were seated right away. Our server was very sweet, offered us substitutions for our friend with dietary restrictions and the food arrived promptly. The food was good, though my partner's fried chicken was a bit soft and mushy. A bit stale but we brought it home to pop in the air fryer?. The restaurant is quite loud and can be a sensory overload for some, but we still enjoyed our visit.Vegetarian options: Some veggie options, and substitutions are offered.Dietary restrictions: Not many gluten free options, but good veggie options. Servers very accomodatingParking: The parking situation can be tricky during busy hours, street paid parking on a side street if lucky.Wheelchair accessibility: Not the most accessible due to narrow aisles and cramped floor
