| - Living at Duffrin and Bloor, I'm hard pressed to find a great all day breakfast within a 10 min bike ride of my house. Enter Mitzi's on College last summer. This place has become my defacto, hangover cure/impress the suburban friends/study+eat spot.
The secret with Mitzi's is to order the basic breakfast, it's under 8 bucks, and you will be stuffed by the flavorful home fries, smoked bacon, mountain of fresh fruit, eggs and hearty home made sourdough or multi-grain toast. And the coffee isn't half bad either. The trick is, on the weekends it's not on the menu, so if you're a week away from payday, and still want to eat a nice meal early in the day without the hassle of doing dishes, head to Mitzi's on College order a coffee and ask for 'the breakfast' - you won't be disappointed.
The other standout for dishes that this place has welded to my heart, is their oatmeal pancake... wow. I'm not a sweets-in-the-morning type of person, but one of my friends ordered this a few months ago, and I've since ordered it probably a half dozen times. Hearty but not nauseatingly sweet and batter-y, served with loads of fruit. Delicious.
Besides the open, bright atmosphere, patio in the summer, and location, they have art on display from local artists, and the staff that work here are all friendly and conscientious, and recognized me after only a few visits.
If you live in the Bloor-court Village, follow your hunch don't waste your time with the rest, Mitzi's is brunch.
