👍👍 Can’t believe I’ve been going here for years and never wrote a review! 😬 Hands down best coffee spot around, and great people - the owners and staff have cultivated a lovely environment that ripples out to lovely customers. An all-around great spot. They’ve helped us with many bike milestones, incl...

👍👍 We were SO happy to find this place on College street in Toronto! Being so far from home and craving authentic Egyptian food - this place was a Godsend. They even have shisha- yes please! The host was very friendly and the food was scrumptious! Can't wait to go back!

Breakfast plates, hearty sandwiches & other homestyle American fare in straightforward surrounds.

👍👍 If you're an ice cream or gelato lover, you have to try this cafe when you pass by. It's hard to see how much more you can improve on the flavours and quality of the gelato, though I'll admit the prices of around $7 are at the absolute limit of being reasonable. Regardless, visit this when you need...

👍👍 Breakfast/ Brunch is my favourite meal of the day. I can eat pancakes and eggs anytime. Jacks is always a good experience. Portions are hefty and service is friendly. I usually call ahead to see how long the wait is. They are busy. A good sign thé food is good and fresh! Give them a try, you won’...

👍👍 You have to try this place, a hidden gem. It’s beautiful and clean, and the staff are very friendly and personable. I recommend the halloumi sandwich (though everything I tried was great) and literally any of the desserts. 11/10 this is my new favourite place

👍👍 Great location, with lots of light inside. Staff was super... Smiling, friendly, working hard, moving fast... Breakfast options were plentiful and the coffee was good. I only wish I'd left room for ice cream. The people I dined with were marked that the lightweight / middleweight / heavyweight break...

Comfortable, contemporary restaurant with a patio serving traditional Italian dishes & wine.

👍 Our family had ordered some Dhoklas and Potato Wadas for family event and we were handed the responsibility to pickup the order. It was still early and the order was not ready and was ready in a few minutes after. The tray full of straight out the fryer Wadas and freshly tempered dhoklas. Surprisin...

👍👍 Whenever I'm in Hintonburg I like to drop by this cafe to chill and relax. The place is very open and welcoming. And I particularly enjoy the sitting out on the patio. Now with the COVID, I can enjoy their simple croissants in my own home. They also have great breads and soups to choose from. And...

👍👍 I honestly cannot say enough good things about Toe Beans. We got our girl Frankenstein (was Monica) at the beginning of July and she has been the greatest addition to our family. Her and our other cat Dracula became best friends so incredibly fast. He keeps her company when we are at work and they a...

👍 Tried the egg florentine and Bobby's special – really tasty. The home fries were the best in town. Didn't love the coffee, the place looks beautiful. Overall, a good experience.

🫤 Surprised that this restaurant has a 4.7 rating. We notified the staff that we had a reservation, but she took a while to seat us thinking that we walked in. We had to let her know again that we had a reservation. The food items we got were all very low quality. Persian Omelette, French Toast, and...

Stylish & warm cafe & bakery offering an array of Italian-inspired sandwiches & pastries.

👍👍 The breakfast sausages here are 🤤. The ultimate platter would have been enough to feed 2 adults and 1 toddler, but my pregnant self was craving for a good Belgian waffle, so we ended up with leftovers. No regrets though as the Belgian waffle was spot-on and had a lot of fruits. Our toddler was also...
