Went to this glorious place twice for our breakfasts when staying in Toronto. After some good reviews in TripAdvisor thought we'd try it out and was not disappointed. Obviously egg dishes were the order of the day and the breakfasts we had were more than filling and set us up nicely for the day. The service, from the greeter at... More

The wide variety on the menu is one of the reasons we stop here. It is a very busy place but they can get you in, served with a smile and out the door in good time. If everyone in your family likes something different, this is the place to go.

Went here for breakfast and as most places in and around toronto do a decent breakfast I was expecting good things from a place that specialises in eggs. I had an omelette which wasn't anything special and wasn't very hot. The home fries and coffee weren't anything special either. There are places nearby that do a much better breakfast for... More

Let me tell you that presentation is half the experience. The time the cooks invest in the look of the dish wows me every time and I either get the Southwest Sunrise omelette or the Salade Nicoise. I was seated near the kitchen and I noticed the floor manager watching the food leave like a hawk. My plate arrived looking... More

The food here is very up-to-date with current restaurant trends. My favourite of these are the offering of ancient grains, Greek yogurt and avocado with their meals. Eating here is a healthy choice, the meals were delicious and the servers went out of their way to help us. Thanks so much

It had been a long time since I had a really decent breakfast with the recent places I had found myself in. This place located right outside Eaton Center (the yonge street exit of it anyway), was quite busy for 8am breakfast. The best thing was that their menu had everything you could possibly want to order for breakfast. Being... More

My recent visit here was coloured a little by the initial service. We came for a business breakfast at around 8:30am, and the hostess was a bit flustered - apparently there was only one waiter that showed for the entire restaurant. Therefore, despite the restaurant being nearly empty, she couldn't seat us. We grabbed a seat behind her just to... More

The breakfasts here are very delicious. The 4 of us ordered different things and all of us were really pleased. The coffee here was terrible-totally weak like water with a bit of coffee flavouring in it. I love my coffee and I find it inexcusable that a breakfast place has poor coffee. I would have rated the spot excellent except... More

Eggspectation did a decent job with my lobster omelette. It was savory, the sauce was appropriate and tasty. They didn't skimp on the lobster near either. Well done. I was happy with our waitress. She was courteous had a great smile and was vested in our enjoyment. The place is packed and there's always a buzz. I'd definitely come back... More
