| - The best eggs and bacon I've had, hands down. And coming from someone who considers brunch a hobby, that's saying a lot.
We sure are lucky in Toronto to have a diner of this calibre and with such a storied history. Stepping in the door you feel like you've stepped back in time, from the neon sign outside, to the brown booths and rounded tablets, to the old coca cola machine, and right down to the old-timey cash register. The owners have really kept the spot feeling like what you'd imagine a pre-WWII diner would be like, when people took their time enjoying a meal and each other's company.
The most important part - the food. I was really impressed not only that they had diary-free alternatives for coffee, but they even had more than 1 option (Soy OR almond - your choice!). I was actually able to have a coffee with my brunch (take a note, Fran's). I also have no idea how they scrambled my eggs without milk and had them come out creamy, fluffy and the perfect temperature. The bacon was perfectly crisp. The baked beans were a great touch, and loved the onion thrown into the homefries. Just so, down home, good.
Also loved that we were left to linger and not pushed out the door. Even after we paid, our waitress came around with more coffee. Such a lovely spot, my new go to for sure. Keep on doing your thing, Senator.
