It's been forever since I've written anything on Yelp but as the Jewish New Year begins, I must recommit myself to write reviews when the service and experience are wonderful, so it's somewhat fitting that I begin with Free Times Cafe, a place that even your bubbe would love.
We were visiting Toronto from New York and wanted to find a bagel and brunch place and according to the Yelp reviews we read this place would fit the bill perfectly. The menu however offers so much more than eggs, lox, blintzes and latkes. Mediterranean dishes were offered as well as great twists on aforementioned traditional Jewish foods.
Eventually the owner came by as she was in the booth next to us and asked us about our meal. We ended up talking to her for 20 minutes, she was incredibly nice and interesting. Her warmth is reflected through the attitudes of the staff, who all seemed great.
We didn't see or hear any music but it looks like that happens in a room in the back...
Anyhow, when we visit Toronto again, we will be sure to come again.
