"Jess honey, your breakfast is ready!"
The call of Karine's hot, freshly-made $5 breakfast is always answered with a resounding yes. I've been back at here several times and they never disappoint.
There are also some fantastic omelet options for about $10, but I enjoy my standard two eggs, salad, fruit, and toast. The French Toast is yummy and I would highly recommend their Peanut Butter and Chocolate Shake. It is very peanutty and with just the right amount of chocolate drizzled on the inside of the glass. Also free coffee and tea refills?? Yes x a milion. I am a big fan if you can't tell ;)
Karine's is super budget friendly -- my friends and I used to come here all the time when we were broke university students. The service is great, run by a lovely matriarch who is full of personality. It is located in a convenient area - just across from OCAD and the AGO. The only thing that keeps me from giving this a 5/5 is that that the seating areas could be slightly nicer in the food court, but hey the food is so reasonable the rest doesn't matter!
