| - Average Joe's is an excellent choice for a hearty, yet still cheap n' cheerful, breakfast in Kensington Market. For under $6, you'll get a heaping platter of eggs, grilled tomato, bacon, thick pieces of homestyle bread, and home fries (which is really a baked and broiled potato with some sort of savory crunchy seasoning thing that is far tastier than it sounds). I mean really, you can't go wrong! And lest you feel guilty about eating swine, their bacon is made from chicken. And it actually tastes like bacon! (I don't say that lightly. I am, after all, a girl who likes her bacon.)
Even though this was my first visit, Joe and his staff warmly greeted my dining companion and I like we were regulars. Cozy is definitely the word -- the place only has five tables. When we arrived, it was not crowded and we were able to sit down right away. The food takes a little longer than your typical egg-slinging greasy spoon, but that's because they cook everything fresh to order. No heat lamps here!
The only negative note is that the menu is extremely limited. There are only 3 menu items, so if you don't want one of those three, you're kind of screwed. But if you want cheap eggs and bac-ey to go with your wakey wakey, then stumble on over to Average Joe's.
