Now that's more like it.
Several weeks ago I wrote a scathing review of my ex-breakfast diner. (Sorry, but I feel strongly about my bacon and eggs.) I vowed never to return there after yet another botched breakfast. I had to find a new diner-style establishment close to home. Not a fan of the brunch buffets. I was looking for a no nonsense reliable place where I could enjoy a couple of eggs over easy. Not as easy as it sounds. A few places looked promising but they were closed on Sundays. Finally I went to the one place where I knew my search would end - right here on Yelp. Lots of great reviews on breakfast nooks in the area really helped me to narrow it down to a few places.
Eighty8 caught my eye. Cool name for one. Plus they scored high in value and good home style cooking. I decided to give them a try. The trek from Markham to Thornhill is a short one on a Sunday morning. The restaurant is tucked away in a little plaza on John Street. As soon as we walked in, I knew this place would be perfect. Quaint decor, cheerful, friendly staff and great coffee. We were off to a good start. Simple menu, check. Low prices, check. WiFi, check. The final test was the actual meal. Eighty8 passed with flying colours. A simple breakfast served hot and quick and free coffee refills.
Thanks, fellow Yelpers! Never would have found this place without you.
