| - I come here often for breakfast and it's dependable, prices and portions are good for the most part!
I really enjoy a few items here. They have some good soups depending on the day. I like their tortellini and vegetable soup, i'm not a fan of mushrooms but I hear good things about the mushroom soup too.
Otherwise i've tried the shakshouka, the tuna bagellinis and have had bagels and other items from the bakery, everything is always fresh and tasty. The prices on some items are a bit high I find, the bagellinis, for example, which are essentially paninis but on a bagel are around $10 or so and they don't come with any side dishes, I find that a bit costly for a sandwich, whereas the shakshouka is about the same price and it comes in a big skillet with a bagel on the side. Maybe the ingredients are more costly in the bagellini, i'm not sure!
The bagels are really the best part of any meal here. The eggs, sandwiches and soups are good but you come here for a big doughy bagel and you won't be disappointed. You can get scoops of different flavours of cream cheese, smoked salmon, tuna. Salads tend to be very popular, it's not my first choice for breakfast/brunch but they look really good and large in size.
The service is hit and miss. Sometimes we get a really quick, efficient server, especially since the restaurant can get crazy weekend mornings. Other times we get servers who are quite slow moving and/or difficult to communicate with. As well, i've never had a particularly friendly server here, they're not rude or anything, just more prompt and tend to seem like they're rushing around.
The restaurant is nice and clean, it looks like a typical breakfast place. I think the space is a bit awkward however, it's hard to get around, especially when it's full of people as the aisleways are narrow and the tables can be quite close together.
