Call off the search! I have found Toronto's worst cup of coffee!
I stopped in for breakast on my way to Home Delay (Depot, for the uninitiated). I was in and out in half an hour, and that was all it took to remind me why it's been so long since my last visit. "Under New Management" does not always mean "Our food doesn't suck anymore."
My coffee actually turned grey when I added cream. I had all-day breakfast, with "Museum" sausage - a term borrowed from a neighbour I ran into on my way out - dried and wrinkly, like a mummy. My eggs over easy had soft, liquid yolks (good) and soft, liquid whites (bad). Potatoes were tasty, though what else does one expect when they actually ooze butter? Finally, the rye toast wasn't very flavourful. Not sure how that happened.
Star #2 is for the service - I was served in a prompt and friendly fashion by the new owner (of about a month). I'd have cut him more slack on food, but he's also the old owner (he sold the place two years ago, then re-bought it for a tidy profit).
