Very nice eatery. The employees are super nice and kind. Our team had lunch together and everyone enjoyed it. I had a boccacini sandwich. It was good, just the bread was a little too dry. The tea cups are so cute. I wish they had some options without eggs in the sweet treats section.

This bakery and cafe is located in the atrium food court. They have a great variety of baked goods, particularly middle Eastern style. The atmosphere was very dark so not ideal for working. The tables and seats look very old. I got the almond croissant (toasted) but it didn't have much filling and it was not very flakey. Worker was nice though.

The best Turkish food we’ve had in Toronto. The breakfast was excellent . We had the mom’s special menemen and it was the best we had in Toronto. It was served with cheese, honey and rose jam. We also had the pistachio and chocolate cookies and they were so fresh and delicious that we took a whole box home. The food makes you want to visit Turkey ASAP. It feels like home-made food. The owner is very nice and has very good PR skills. He is helpful and will accommodate for any specific demand as much as possible. We will definitely go back there every time we are in town. Thank you so much for those wonderful moments!

I went to this place for breakfast but it unfortunately didn’t meet my expectations. The highlight of this place was the pistachio cookies. They were really good. The texture and taste was borderline perfect. I would highly recommend people to try out their desserts and baked items. I ordered a menemen but it didn’t taste that good and lacked good texture. There was also a lot of water which made the eggs a little mushy. The bagel sandwiches were also sub par, they were broken up and were falling apart before the first bite. It tasted good but the ingredients weren’t cut properly or weren’t spread evenly. I would recommend people to try the sandwiches and deserts rather than the breakfast items as they weren’t as good as expected.

This Turkish bakery and cafe is a hidden gem in the Atrium's food court. I really liked the peach, pear, and almond tart. I'll be back to try the shakshuka and the simit (a Turkish-style bagel). I heard that they sell out of the simit in the morning.

This bakery is literally a hidden gem! Everything is always fresh and the staff is wonderful. They go above and beyond. If you’re in the neighbourhood, this place is a MUST! I love their baked goods. Their pecan square is out of this world! So yum. And their chocolate chip cookie is so delicious, I cannot even begin to explain.. Those bits of walnut in the chocolate chip cookie are a game changer for me. You won’t regret this place, trust me! They have won my heart ❤️ If you like pistachios, try their pistachio cookie. I promise, you won’t regret!

Wow! Went for breakfast and did not think I was getting the delicious, abundant meal I did. You could tell the owner loves what he does. I had the "Mom's menemen" platter... so much flavour! Definitely coming back to try their very tempting baked goods!

Their food is super delicious and more than that their attitude is lovely. Hospitable staff and authentic Turkish dishes. We will definitely come back. Mom's Menemen is great. They have one of the best Turkish brunches compared to their price. The best spot for quick bites.

Frankly, I did not enjoy the experience here. The price is exaggerated for this breakfast, and eggs have nothing to do with the flavors of Turkey, even the items available with breakfast. When I asked about cream and honey, they told me that they would compensate me with two pieces of baklava.

A real gem! Well worth the effort to seek out and enjoy the in- house bakery and cuisine. I enjoyed the best Turkish breakfast here ( and I have eaten many in Turkey and other places in the world). Fabulous customer service; quality, delicious food and at a reasonable price; and that is something you cannot often say in one sentence ,about a restaurant.

I tried turkish coffee it was so delicious ,,the stuff were very friendly ، welcoming with a smile 😍, loved the place , the drink and everything in there sure its not gonna be the last visit for me ❤️

As someone who is always hopping from different cafes on a regular basis, I can say this is probably the best service I’ve ever experienced at a cafe. The staff are extremely friendly and patient with you and work hard to create a good vibe. The cafe has many Turkish options like Turkish coffee and tea along with some other menu items. This is a hidden gem. Highly recommended As a bonus, the owner is also extremely nice. I will definitely be coming back!!

Great food and warm atmosphere! Tried the Mom’s Menemen with Turkish coffee for a late brunch and really enjoyed it. Thank you to Korhan and team for being very informative about Turkish cuisine. I’ll definitely be back to try other dishes!

I was waiting for my husband and daughter as they were at Sick Kids and I was looking for something to bring my daughter to eat once she was done, one of the employees made a recommendation and they made a super tasty croissant sandwich for her. The cheese was amazing. I also got myself a few treats and everything was super delicious. If you’re looking for Turkish items, they had a lot of snacks and teas/coffee bags for you to buy.

Stayed nearby during last visit to Toronto. Found this gem and tried the Turkish breakfast. Amazingly authentic and tasty. The owner was very communicative and generous (I didn’t pay much attention to the bill until my wife reminded me that the two Turkish coffee were offered to us free). Btw, the store is located in the subway station. We found it by searching on the map. There’s no sign on the ground level, if I remember correctly.

I've been to this cafe several times in the past week and have loved every bite! Delicious carrot cake, blueberry scone, smoked salmon sandwich...and the Turkish tea! Omgodness the tea is heavenly. Can't wait to try the traditional breakfast next time!

Absolutely stellar service, nice, caring, observant people. The double pistachio baklava is delicious.

Amazing Turkish food and imported goods. The almond croissants are delicious and I order at least one each time! The owners are kind and welcoming. The good food and friendly environment have made each visit a wonderful experience.

I wish we lived in Toronto so we could visit this hidden gem regularly - healthy, delicious authentic Turkish breakfast, which leaves you feeling energetic and refreshed! We tried the special mom's menemen and the smoked Atlantic salmon on a baguette, and all special requests were accommodated graciously, and portion sizes were extremely generous. The customer service was absolutely phenomenal - we have never experienced such amazing service. We cannot praise this place, the food and the staff enough, but this is a MUST visit place if you're looking for a place to grab brunch or pastries in downtown Toronto!

I didn’t know that it was possible to mix French, Italian and Turkish culinary together but this small place serves tasty Parisian croissants freshly baked, superb Italian espresso + cappuccino and Turkish tasty specialties with a friendly service. A clean and relaxed atmosphere with some carefully selected jazz playing in the background. I make excuses to stop by Fresh Start Bakery when in the Dundas-Yonge area and when I visit Little Canada across the street. Well done. You deserve a 6 star. 👍😊

Stopped by here for lunch, I've passed by so many times but never went in. The reviews don't lie, this place is a hidden gem. Great food and service. Will definitely be back, I want to try the breakfast next!

Loved the almond croissant, was perfect. Pretzel with Menemen is a must try, I had it without the beef which is a good option for Vegetarians like me 🙂. Coffee and chai were decent as well.

We met with friends at this place for a meeting. my friend recommended this spot. Well, it was a winning. we were warmly welcomed by the staff members and we had a great feeling. The meal was yummy. We loved this spot a lot and we shall definitely come back again. we highly recommend this place.

Amazing breakfast, very welcoming team - Menemen taste 10/10 - simit 9/10 - Tea 10/10 (authentic Turkish tea) - Turkish coffee 7/10 - almond croissant 10/10 Strongly Recommended Add to that, they have halal options for meat👌🏼 Definitely one of the best breakfast spot in the area.

Love the coffee and the authentic Middle Eastern food. The owners are polite and helpful. They serve delicious baklava and other delectable desserts. The Simits are fresh and they can be made with a wide variety of fillings. Vegan options also available. Sad because of covid they are forced to down size. They also sell some Middle Eastern groceries.

This place is amazing, the food is delicious, the Turkish man serving there is a nice and worm person.

The Mom's menemen was fantastic. Its a wonderful Turkish breakfast filled with many little sides. The Turkish coffee was delicious and the owners were so friendly and kind.

I was looking for a quick bite in between meetings and came across this local gem in the food court level of the Atrium. They have simit bread which you can pair with all sorts of fresh ingredients, as well as a lot of lunch sandwich options. I got a Turkish coffee and the traditional simit with feta, cucumber and tomato. It was super fresh and the simit was very fragrant. The boss was so nice to talk to and he gave me a baklava to try too. I'm always looking to try traditional food from other cultures and will be back to try their menemen and other hot food.

Fresh Start is a family owned business and they honestly treat their guests like family too! The food is amazing every time! I work upstairs in the building and it is absolutely my go to for fresh, homemade, delicious food - their baked goods are to die for! Support local - they really are amazing people and sell amazing food!

The cashier/server (Dani) was very sweet and accommodating. I wanted some spice in my food but they didn’t have a hot sauce so she went out her way to make a chilli sauce for me that I could have with my food that was so delicious!
