| - I am writing strictly about breakfast, as I have not tried any lunch items. The breakfast is available all day, btw. The menu looks quite extensive in terms of soups and sandwiches. They also carry some Korean food items.
The Village by the Grange food court (near Dundas and McCaul) has a number of independent or smaller chain businesses operating there. I enjoy the selection of this food court in general, because the options offer something unique and at a lower price point than many other places.
There are a couple of places you can get breakfast; but Karine's does not appear to be open early enough on most mornings to actually get breakfast at breakfast time. McDonald's is kind of expensive ($3.29 for a McMuffin sandwich, or over $4.20 with a hashbrown patty and a small coffee).
At Est West, for $3.99 I got 2 eggs any way I want, 2 slices of toast (white or whole wheat, and i think english muffin is an option), bacon or sausage (2 medium sized breakfast sausage), and an option to fill the rest of the rectangular takeout container with fruit (watermelon, strawberries, papaya, canteloupe, orange, grapefruit, or honey dew), or home fries.
My order was eggs over-easy, brown toast, sausage, and assorted fruit.
The ladies who work there are bustling and getting ready for the lunch shift in the background. One flashed a quick smile when she caught me trying to sneak a peek at the progress of my breakfast (takes about 5 minutes to fry up). Another one greeted someone behind me who must have been a regular customer.
At the end, when my order was ready, it was bundled with some napkins and cutlery and the lady asked if i needed a plastic bag or if I needed anything else. I accidentally dropped my fork while picking up my order and she promptly replaced it and threw my ground-fork in the garbage for me.
