| - Good food. Great staff, and the line moves reasonably quickly, which is nice.
It's hard to find Brussels-style waffles - most places serve that dense, chewy Liege variety that I really don't love - but this place offers Brussels waffles, and they are very good. Crisp and light. The legendary apple slaw was very good, as were the scrambled eggs. The peameal was quite salty, but it was juicy, though there was only one slice. For a $13 breakfast, I thought the portions were on the small side, but the food quality was good.
I had a passionfruit/mango/strawberry juice, which was tart and refreshing and not too sweet, but I was disappointed to see it come out of a jug in the fridge. It might have been made in-house, but I was under the impression it was freshly made to order, which it was not. The pear and ginger juice also was good but came out of a jar and had a sort of pasteurized flavour to it. They will offer cinnamon when they serve it to you. I personally really prefer the spiced pear juice at Bannock, which sadly was seasonal and which I haven't had in a long time!
The main gripe is that I waited half an eternity for my food. As a regular solo diner, I'm unfortunately used to my order falling through the cracks sometimes, but it's still disappointing when it happens.
*Edited to add: I've been struggling over whether to give this 3 or 4 stars, because it's a solid 3.5 in my mind, but I've decided that it's closer to a 3.
