| - I was first drawn to Starving Artist as a brunch place because the initial review I read said this placed specialized in waffles. When my brunch team and I got there, we were pleasantly surprised to find EVERYTHING on the menu made of waffles. The biggest creativity item on the menu is waffled bacon. That's right, I said waffled bacon. It is bacon, covered in waffle batter, placed in a waffle maker, cut into strips and then served with a side of maple syrup for dipping. The brunch menu ranges from waffle grilled cheese, to potato waffles, regular waffles, waffles benny and more. They serve lunch, dinner and dessert (a big list of waffles/toppings) and have vegan options and a big drink list. Waffles come with a choice of two sides (options are fruit salad, potatos, beans and greens). The tea, was disappointing because it was a regular bag of Lipton. The coffee and lattes looked better. Coffee comes in a French press.
For someone schlepping from the nose bleed section of North York, Starving Artists was a bit of a hike but one that I would gladly drive back next time I"m craving waffles. The staff were on top of our table the entire time, despite having to rush back and forth to service the packed brunch house. If I remember correctly, Starving Artists is a cash only/debit only place.
