| - Love this place.
Definitely a go-to spot in the city if you want a guaranteed tummy-filling, I-need-a-nap-now, I've-died-and-gone-to-brunch-heaven dining experiences.
You've been warned, there are lines to wait in for a delicious meal here, which can range from 20 minutes on the very lucky and rare occasion, to well over an hour on weekends. This can be a deterrent in inclement weather (waiting outside in a snowstorm? ...not so fun), when faced with hunger pangs or accompanied by an impatient dining companion. But it's worth it.
Things to get here which have never failed to delight my taste buds:
1) Breakfast pocket - extremely flavourful and packed with yummy breakfast items (scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar, caramelized onions), a specialty of the place which I've never quite found a comparable for elsewhere. If you try anything here, I'd recommend this.
2) Breakfast tacos - I find variations of this dish can sometimes be less than tasty at certain other brunch spots, but not here. The cheddar is nicely sharp, the refried beans are flavourful, and it all comes together in a nice combination of flavours and textures in your mouth.
3) French toast - I've mostly tasted this classic via bites of other people's orders, but my friend swears by it as his favourite in the city, and he almost exclusively eats french toast when brunching (why, I will never understand, given the plethora of options available)
One caveat: you likely will smell like what you've eaten for breakfast the rest of the day after coming here. This could be a good or bad thing. Depending on whether you like to relive your breakfast dining experience throughout the day (not as bad as it sounds).
