Dear Yelpers,
I'm letting you in on a little secret. Laurier Lounge does brunch and it's amazing. I'm not one to tell secrets without being able to back it up, so here's why:
Excellent coffee. Both espresso based drinks and the coffee press are the perfect pick-me-up on a weekend morning.
Great eggs. The omelettes come open-faced, with a good meat/cheese/other toppings ratio.
Interesting potatoes. How often are you surprised by hash browns? Me either. I swear there is something sweet about these potatoes and I sometimes dream about them at night.
Crepes and croissants - the sweet smell of home made baked goods hits you first. One look at the buttery croissant could possibly make a grown man cry...or at least a girl who can't eat wheat while everyone else at the table raves about how good they taste.
A sunny, quiet patio. If you've been to the Laurier Lounge for dinner and sat out on the patio, you already know how perfect it is. Imagine that when the sun is shining.
Good staff, friendly owner, easy parking...lest you think I'm going on with nothing bad to say, I'm not a fan of their awkwardly placed bathroom, but I guess there isn't much choice given the location.
I feel like everything at Laurier Lounge is well thought through. Hope you enjoy this gem as much as I do.
