| - We had such an enjoyable time here, even though we elected to get our orders taken to go due to time restrictions and wait.
The place is small, but not cramped and when we arrived on a Sunday around 10:00am, it was already a packed full house. I'd say that the place seats at most 40 people, so if dining in is an absolute must for you, definitely arrive before then, as they open at 8:00am.
Husband got the Peameal Bacon Eggs Benny ($13), while I got the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benny ($14). Each comes with house fries and a delicious salad. Both options were delicious in their own way, but I'd say their Peameal Bacon option was a hair better than my Smoked Salmon one. A nice fresh slice of the bacon that wasn't too skimpy in texture and size adorned the English muffin. Perfectly poached eggs adorned the tops of it, and they nailed it to the T.
If it's anything that I have a huge amount of respect for, it's the consistency and execution in poaching eggs. It's not rocket science, but man, getting it just right so that the yolk slightly oozes out is a science.
But I digress.... :)
For the Peameal Bacon version, the addition of avocado and spinach rounded out the texture and flavors of the meal without being heavy. The home fries were a tad under seasoned, but not terribly so. The house salad had a solid variety of mixed greens that were fresh and springy; something enjoyable and refreshing to nosh on during a cool winter morning.
My Smoked Salmon Eggs Benny was very well executed, and the portobello mushrooms really elevated the dish to the next level. Nicely sauteed and well seasoned, the surprise addition of kale was very nice and balanced.
Service was friendly and quick even though we ordered to go. They packed the items carefully and I appreciated the neatness of it all. We also tried their cappuccino which was equally as good and nutty.
Overall, we had wonderful food and look forward to going back next time to dine in. If our to-go orders were this good, I can't imagine how much better dining in would be. Value, freshness, and execution were all excellent.
The location is easy to get to, but parking can be a bit cramped depending on the hour you arrive, so be sure to check around the back of the storefront to find additional spaces. Signage is bright and clear.
So if you're looking for a solid brunch place in Markham, this one is definitely worth checking out!
