I was biking past High Park and saw Lunch Box... I KNEW it had been recently reviewed on Yelp but couldn't remember the verdict. Undaunted, I ventured in to find a cheerful and bustling breakfast and lunch establishment.
The good:
- Blueberry pancakes with fruit parfait - really good quality... fresh plentiful blueberries in the pancakes... interesting variety of fresh fruit in the parfait, along with some yogurt and nut-ful granola
- Service was genuinely cheerful... someone dropped and broke a maple syrup bottle - it was cleaned up with grace.
- Other available baked goods looked delicious
- Moderate pricing
The less-good:
- To me, a "stack" of pancakes means 3 bare minimum... I was served 2 medium sized ones in this particular stack
- Agree with Cailen that I expected more food for the price, though I'll admit it was enough to satisfy most reasonable appetites.
- Ran out of water glasses (I'll give them a break on this - but they probably could have used one more staff person - they were all slightly run off their feet.
Not a destination, but definitely I place I would drop into when going by or make regular if I lived in the area.
