| - Easy is pretty great. The food is really well done. "West coast toast" is an instant favorite. Last time I was there I had the steak and eggs. Their baguette toast can't be beat! My boyfriend had "heuvos divorciados" and hummed with delight throughout his entire meal. All their food is top notch and the coffee is magnificent. My only complaint off the menu are the smoothies. They're overly thick and not in the least refreshing.
The place is decked out in old movie posters (including "Easy Rider", where there place gets its name). Cool antiques dot the place, which no doubt come from the near by antique shops that line west Queen west.
That being said, I do have my issues with the place. Maybe because the restaurant is located in hipster central, the staff isn't hugely friendly. The first time I was there, the bald waiter hardly said a word to my boyfriend and I, and the second time we visited the waitress hardly came around. Multiple other people were serving us. I haven't ever tipped above the standard 15%. The place is pretty small, and if you go on a weekend, there is usually a line. Tables are closely packed, so this isn't the place to go so a nice relaxed brunch. They will serve you within 15 minutes and expect you to eat and leave.
Regardless, during the week in the early afternoon? This is the place to be! Easy is my favorite joint for breakfast food. Despite the odd unfriendly staff member, this place is pretty cool. If you don't mind the young and trendy vibe, give it a try!
