In the centre of a busy strip mall, this little gem manages a impressive balance between the best parts of standard breakfast while adding its unique touch on each dish.
Take the pancakes, for instance: fluffy 6" golden cakes manage to be doused in tons of butter (so good) and maintain the flavour of a lightly sweetened batter.
My wife had the standard breakfast (eggs, sausages, toast). They managed to actually cook the sausages well! Not overly salty - the ingredient quality was able to stand out.
I got the breakfast poutine (home fries, curds, hollandaise, poached egg - in a small steel bucket!). Personal high water mark for breakfast is the hollandaise sauce. How many places have a crappy hollandaise!? So good. Full of tangy flavour that didn't overpower the relatively mild potatoes, curds and egg. The whole thing was as delicious as the concept sounds.
For this quality of food, I think the prices are right on the money (pun intended).
The service was quick and friendly despite it being a busy period with few staff.
The layout is long - opening into a small interior mall space at one end and the entrance at the parking lot. It's definitely the biggest challenge of this location, but they seemed to set up the space pretty well still.
No holding back for the sake of accessibility or health. They have a mission to get a fantastic flavour in your mouth. We will return!
