| - Just celebrated my birthday here with friends & family this past Sunday.
This place is kind of part "Hipster Heaven", what with it's industrial decor and $15 eggs, but what, pray tell, is with the waitresses dressed as school girls?
Yeah, I get it, smart ass, it's called "School Bakery" and you get your cheque in the form of a "report card" and there are apples on the table which, given the ridiculous length of time I waited for my breakfast, I was oft tempted to eat, but wasn't sure if they'd been coated in some kind of shellac or whatnot, and therefore didn't.
But, real talk, I find the school girl outfits off-putting. A little Pink Floyd-ish, a little "The Craft"ish. Like, ew.
Had the "Spiced Benni" which, once the clock struck midnight and it turned 2015 and arrived at the table, was pretty good. Not that spicy, though, which is fine by me. But if you're a discerning palette and want things hotter than hell for breakfast, this is not the right choice. The cheddar-herb biscuit it was served on was delicious, but a bit doughy and a bit gargantuan. But seeing them rising in that cute little oven was heart-warming and made me think of Christmas, grandmothers, elves and Cindy Loo-Who. Yes, in that order.
We were with a large group, which I don't recommend. It might be better as a one-on-one place, because the menu is lovely - sweet and savoury options- and they have a pretty diverse beverages menu, complete with fresh-squeezed orange juice and smoothies.
I'm not saying it's not worth a try, but they must do something about those uniforms.
