| - Came in on a Saturday morning for a quick coffee, but upon seeing the delicious menu posted up on the huge chalkboard, I had to change my plans. Completely torn between some top choices, like the smoked salmon eggs benny, the braised pork belly on open faced omelette, pancakes.....some solid brunch choices!
The setup is a "seat yourself" style, and pay for your food at the counter. Works well with the hipster vibe. I got there around 10:30am, and joined the line-up that went out the door. Happily chatting with my friend in line, it passed by quickly. Pro Tip - run up and order a coffee first, and drink while you wait! We ordered at the front, and seated ourselves on the counters by the corner.
I picked the Braised Pork Belly open faced omelette and was not the least bit disappointed. Paired with my coffee, it was the perfect brunch amount! Lots of flavour, but won't kill you with the sodium. Had a bite of my girlfriend's benny and was also impressed.
Overall a great little uptown brunch spot, especially for those who don't want to make the trek all the way down to Liberty Village scene. Parking was a bit of a mess, being a small plaza...Subway next door also appropriated a good number of spots, so beware of that. There's also the option of parking on the residential street behind the restaurant, and walking over.
