| - It was a snowy Saturday morning, and I was excited to try Early Bird. I drove down (yes, I drove on Queen West) and entered the cute coffee shop.
The exposed brick and industrial feel was very cool. It was a great atmosphere and I was excited to eat the city's prettiest breakfast.
Started off with cold brew and a regular drip coffee, for being known for their coffee I was NOT impressed. Starbucks serves better coffee or head over to Jimmy's coffee which is simply perfect.
I ordered the Avocado Toast, Eggs Benny with Bacon and the Chia Seed Pudding. None of what I ordered tasted bad but it didn't taste good. The Chia Seed pudding was beautifully presented with Hemp Seeds, Cocoa Nibs, Coconut Flakes and Pomegranate Seeds. It had zero flavor to it unless you had the toppings, I had maybe 3 bites and was bored.
Next up was the Avocado Toast. This was actually a work of art, the avocados looked like a rose petal. I bit it and just tasted a bit of olive oil and avocado. It could have used something more, some more flavor or even just salt. I wasn't impressed and was starting to get annoyed.
Last up, the Eggs Benny. I ordered the bacon with it, it was also beautifully presented. The eggs were cooked just right and I LOVED that they used a potatoes latkes base, it had a nice crisp to it and wasn't overly oily. The bacon was a bit disappointing because it was very fatty. The sauce on top (that pink sauce) was okay, again not a lot of flavor.
The portions were great for the amount, and the decor is on point! I just wish it tasted as good as it looks.
Keep Eating,
Angela
