I'm a big fan of brunch. Huge, in fact. I'd heard Mutual Street Deli was a good brunch, but I'm going to have to kindly disagree. Don't get me wrong: the staff and servers are friendly enough. But if you want food that you could *very easily* make at home, then don't waste your hard earned dollars. Even though the food is cheap, it has very little flavour.
The food is really breakfast; think eggs, toast and bacon. And it's little more than that -- nothing fancy at all. I had the "light breakfast" which was one scrambled egg, two pieces of toast and a loonie-sized cup of fruit. I also ordered chocolate chip pancakes. My meal came to $11, so it's certainly not expensive, but I'd hoped for something a little more. I asked for a latte and the elderly lady (I assume the owner's mother?) didn't understand what I was saying as they only offer coffee or tea.
If you want a very basic breakfast, MSD is good. If you want anything substantial, avoid going.
