Went with the smoke meat Benedict. The meat was tender and flaky. The Hollandaise sauce was good, the eggs were a bit over poached but still had a little runniness to it. Meal came with potato chunks. We also got the big breakfast which we had a coupon for. Buy one get one free. Great deal. So I also got a chance to try the sausage and bacon which were both good. When taking orders for the drinks the waitress simply asked me, Orange? and I said okay. When I get the bill I’m shocked. $ 4 for orange juice? Man, they really take advantage of you here. I could buy a whole jug of Tropicana for the same price. Oh well, its a lesson learned. If you order coffee refills are free. Our waitress was really friendly and efficient.

We walked in at 945… Walked out at 10:15. In th is half hour we got our own menus, including kids menus(they finished all activities on kids menu). There was one large group and a couple small tables… No valid reason for is waiting a half hour. The hostess who could have helped get orders from waiting patrons opted to just watch everyone get agitated. This doesn’t speak to Eggsmart but speaks volumes of THIS location.

The $ 2 dollar breakfast may be dead, but it doesn’t mean you can’t get a great early bird special from Eggsmart. Get here before 10am on a weekday, and you get eggs, meat toast and home fries for only $ 4.99. Not too bad. If you come here any other time, I recommend the egg sandwich for a pretty comparable price. It is eggs bread and home fries, so it basically has everything except the meat. Service is a bit slow because of the limited amount of staff on hand, but overall, will come back again if I don’t feel like cooking breakfast.

Very disappointed that there were many pieces of human hair in my food and I felt that no one appreciated how gross it was. Nor did they say they would do anything in the future to stop it from happening. Eaters, beware!!! To be fair, I’ve come several times before and this is the first time I noticed the issue, which is either a good sign or extremely gross depending how you see it. Customer service was poor and they did not go very far to compensate(they just gave me a free coffee). I would say that if you want to go to this restaurant, check your food carefully so you don’t get any surprising discoveries halfway through your meal.

I would go across the street to Cora’s first. Was very disappointing again. One main blond older server takes all the customers till her section is full which results in poor service. Other parts of the restaurant were well serviced and seemed attentive. I’ve noticed this a few times how she grabs customers from door and fills her section while the balance of place is so slow. Anyway, drab food, not great atmosphere and the poor service won’t being me back again.

Not too shabby for a breakfast place. If you get here before 11am — you get an ‘early bird special for 4.99 — I believe it’s their Eggsmart Breakfast including toast, bacon, ham & eggs etc. The waitress complemented the restaurant — she was social, seems to know all the regulars, & made regular rounds to check on you. Pros: — Efficient service — Sunny area with lots of windows — Clean — Food is decent Cons: — Understaffed(but I believe they didn’t expect a crush that almost filled their restaurant when we got there)

What can I say about Eggsmart? It’s a place to get breakfast, so nothing fancy. However, this is when the deciding factor is based on customer service. To easily put it, simply awesome. My server came with menus the moment we sat down and greeted us. She was well mannered and soft spoken, yet still confident. No complaints in the food department, so an easy 5 stars. *Update* Apr 13, 2014 Waited for my food for 15 minutes. My server(Maria) came up to me and asked, «honey, what was your order again? The guys(cooks) messed it up». I was not impressed. I overheard her saying to the cooks that she forgot. Didn’t even have the balls to admit it. After the long wait, my food came but was not the right order. Not impressed today. If you are being served by Maria, make sure you ask her where the heck your food is or did she FORGET?

This is my second time to Eggsmart and it was a-ok. When we walked in we were greeted with a casual«sit anywhere you like» that some might interpret as indifference but the smile and sincerity with which it was said meant make-yourself-at-home. There seemed to be only 1 girl serving the place, which was about half full, but she managed fine and we felt our service was timely. I ordered a freshly squeezed orange juice and Mediterranean Scrambler for $ 9.99 which I had a hard time finishing. Everything was fresh and the restaurant was clean; the bowl that the food came in was chipped but it is a diner type of place and it didn’t affect my meal so it didn’t really bother me too much.

Love it! The breakfast classic with 3 eggs, 4 bacon, two slices of bread fruits. Newer clean place.

Avg breakfast with decent pricing. Good for a quick bite. Waitress was slow for liking. Had to ask her for everything: more coffee, jam, a pen to sign my bill…

It was the first time at an Eggsmart and I was very happy with the service and quality of food. Nice and clean and I will be coming back.

Large breakfast, too pricey for my Asian family. But it was a joy to be here :) One plate definitely fills you up and prepare you for a big bright day. Cheaper than Cora’s! The Benedict is served on English muffins. Home cut fries are pretty good, not the best. Most dishes come with fruits and toast, or a salad. And lots of eggs. The Cubano Ciabatta(under Sandwiches & Wraps) is amazing: provolone, peameal bacon, sliced ham(THICK), pickle, tomato & lettuce with dijon bistro sauce served on a ciabatta bun. Comes with home fries, and this was surprisingly filling(keep in mind, I’m a small Asian girl). The freshly squeezed orange juice is a must. Super sweet and sooooo fresh. I have it every time. You can order the 1L for $ 7.99. Cora’s is super busy, this place wasn’t so. Maybe it was just my luck.

This place is my cheaper-than-Cora’s alternative(right across the street). The price is cheaper because you get less awesome fruits and the potatoes/home fries are not tasty plus they add some odd tasting spices on it. I never use ketchup but with their fries I will, just so I don’t taste their seasonings. The other food items I’ve tried(like my favourite eggs benedict) is average. Service isn’t bad. Coffee refills happen frequently enough if you’re into that. Not much in terms of fresh fruit juices. I feel like if you’re going to brunch, you might as well pay the extra dollar or two for Cora’s unless there is something unique here I missed. I guess there is the cheaper«diner» feel, but then if you go for that angle, it’s still quite expensive for what you get. (And yes, this was a Tim Hortons, but it didn’t close down. It’s just up the street!)

This Eggsmart used to be a Tim Hortons! Imagine a Tim Hortons going out of business and got replaced? This restaurant still have the similar set up like the Tim Horton… The chairs and tables are just too close together. and especially if the table next to you talking at the top of their voices while you are nursing a hangover… not cool! Western Sandwich with Salad($ 5.99) — fluffy eggs loaded with green pepper, onion and ham… and cheese… — Salad is standard mostly lettuce with an Italian dressing 3 Eggs with Sausage and Potatoes($ 6.99) — Sausages sinfully good… — Just wish for more fruits instead of a small piece of cantaloupe and a thinnest slice of orange I ever seen… — definitely recommend to come back for weekday early bird special($ 4.99) before 10 am Service is definitely lacking. The wait staffs gives me this old small town vibe… Have to wave them down to get anything and everything… I might come back for the food… but the service just leave little to be desired! Accepts all credit cards!
