Absolutely fabulous little café on Gerrard! The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food is amazing. My husband and I ordered a Breakfast Poutine and Breakfast Sandwich to share and it was more than enough food for the both of us. We also tried their hot drinks and I can attest that the mocha, ginger tea, and cider is all delicious. We plan on returning frequently for brunches this summer.

This was my second visit and it was just as good as the first time! You can find my first review here(they changed Unilocal URLs): My brother and I came in here around 11:15AM on Saturday and the place was decently busy. I don’t blame the other patrons because it’s a great place for brunch! My brother and I were seated by a waitress, but I think we could have seated ourselves and a waiter would have come by. We also had the option of ordering at the till and getting it to our table I believe. The waitress who seated us gave menus and when we asked for waters she said she would get them for us but she never returned… I believe she was working the front section but still would have been nice for her to quickly hand us two glasses of waters. Our actual waiter eventually came by after 5 – 7 minutes and apologized for the wait. I ordered the eggs Benedict over waffles with assorted fruit, side kale salad, baked beans, and a sausage. I can’t recall the actual name of the dish. Overall it was pretty tasty! I was a little disappointed as the hollandaise sauce didn’t have any zip to it. The kale salad was also drenched in dressing and only had about 40% kale. The sausage though was well seasoned and was delicious. My brother got a pulled chicken with Montréal smoked meat waffle that came with fries. We both got a London fog each and it was so good. The cup was huge and we weren’t able to finish drinking them since we were full from our food so we got the rest to go. I love going to this place and will most definitely head back here again.

Amazing service, the waiter was super attentive and friendly. We had their Brickyard Chicken and Waffles and Classic Cameron. I really liked my plate of Montréal smoked meats, poached eggs(two eggs any style), fries, kale mix and fruit. The only thing I was not a fan of was their home made ketchup, it was«alive» because fermentation like bubbles would form whenever I dip a fry into it. As for the chicken and waffles, my husband said overall it was good but nothing too special, but I normally don’t like gravy and I liked it. Overall if this place was closer to our hood, it would become one of our go-to spots. Because their coffees were good and their service was pretty perfect.

I just bought a house in the neighborhood and had locked myself out of the house so i stopped at this amazing place while waiting for my sister to bring my keys. I’ll start with a WOW! class all the way, when I first walked in I felt little out of place cause I was in my home clothes and feeling very haggard but once I talked to the staff I felt so comfortable and at home. Not very often do you find a classy café that doesn’t have a snobbish feel to it. THEFOOD oh wow! had the pulled chicken sandwich and it is literally the best sandwich I ever had when I expressed that to the waiter the ladies next to me also raved about their sandwich. I was having a rough day with no keys no phone and no wallet(just had my credit card) but this café turned my day around and it will forever be my go to spot. I can’t wait till i bring my sister and friends over… so happy i found it :))))

This place is about as 5 star as you can expect from a coffee shop. Great Space, Great Staff, Great Atmosphere. I’m a regular here(almost daily T-F since they reopened) and it is always a reliably great experience. Good place to work or meet people over coffee. Just a few great things I can say about this place: 1. Coffee — I believe its Rufino(sp.) and its a good blend. On par with other options in the area. 2. Latte’s — Well prepared and generous enough in size. 3. Breakfast Sandwich — The Peameal Bacon Brioche is solid with Mayo and Onions. 4. Weekend Brunch — I’ve done it once, but the Savoury Chicken Waffle definitely delivered. Good vibe on weekends too. The place is packed. 5. Rotisserie Chicken — A good weekday take home dinner. I normally ask them to double on the Taragon Dijon sauce. Only disappointment has been that they sometimes sell out of the birds early. Can’t wait to go back again.

Cute neighbourhood café with traditional café fare(coffee, pastries, etc.) as well as sandwiches, poutine, and rotisserie chicken. Seems like an interesting mix of items but appears to work. The coffee is good, the staff is friendly, the décor delightful. I had the vegan wrap, it was tasty and affordably priced. It’s nice to have a place like this in this neighbourhood. I suspect I’ll become some sort of a regular.

Welcome to the newly renovated Brickyard Grounds. First time back in this area in over 15 years. It has changed a lot! This is a great location at the corner of Gerrard and Greenwood, it can be easily found there. When we went in it was 4 days since it opened after the renovation. Everything was new and looked really good we’re excited to have our lunch. Our waiter was very friendly, attentive, and provided a great service. The food was well made however it was not as distinctive or unique as I was expecting. We ordered the pulled chicken waffle and a sandwich which was their most popular. Everything was fresh and tasty and well made. Overall it was a good experience I was come back and try again and try more dishes the items itself was good portion but was not as large as other bunches.
