This small cafe is a revelation and a nice change of pace from the typical brunch fare you would expect. If you've been to the Black Hoof across the street, which specializes in charcuterie, you'll have a good idea of what you'll be in for.
Two important things to mention:
i) The place is very small and does not take reservations. Be prepared to sit at the bar or have to wait a lengthy time for a table. Luckily, they will take your cell phone number and you can go visit the numerous coffee shops around the area, including Ella's Uncle, Ezra's Pound, The Tampered Press and my personal fave, Communal Mule.
ii) The highlight dish for me are the bone marrow donuts. One of the top five things to have in Toronto. Be warned that they are only served on weekends.
The service is always friendly and prompt. Coffee is served French Press-style, a trend I hope becomes more and more prevalent.
Having been there a handful of times, I would recommend the suckling pig benny, which despite the title is really similar to a ham eggs benedict you'd get elsewhere. What I am particular fond of though, if you have an appetite for it, is the french toast and foie gras. The combination of the sweet and flavourful fruit syrup with the bitterness of the foie gras works perfectly and is really a terrific mix of tastes for your palette.
However, the top reason to come here is for the bone marrow donuts, served only on the weekend. They come in a little pouch of six, with sugar sprinkled on top, served warm, with gooey deliciousness in the centre.
I will definitely be back, many, many times.
