My friend just moved to Leslieville and is quite pregnant so we've been checking out more things on that side. I was searching for brunch options and Janie Jones came up. I liked the fact that they had an interesting menu and a few veggie options so we decided to give it a try.
We came in around 10:30am on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. The server didn't mind that another one of us was a bit late either. Three of us ordered the house breakfast and my other friend got french toast. The house breakfast was amazing. It came with home fries, baked beans, eggs any style, buttered toast and your choice of sausage/vegan sausage or bacon. The vegan sausage looked a little bit weird I'll admit but it tasted absolutely delicious. The server said they made them in-house and mace was a key ingredient. The baked beans were also fabulous. Being Australia I really enjoy/miss the British/Aussie style tomato baked beans without the brown sugar/maple syrup they add in in North America. These were homemade and really hit the spot.
I can also comment positively on the service. Our server was always around, helpful and yet laid back. She didn't try to push us out and was happy to let us chat. Another nice thing was that we all ordered lattes and then they offered to top us up later with drip coffee and didn't charge us extra for it. That was noticed and appreciated.
If you're in Leslieville for brunch check this place out. Pretty casual, great food and not too packed (yet).
