Awesome place to go for breakfast. Super fast and great service. Bacon, sausage are always good but if you want something different try the steak or lox bagel. The bread is so fresh and comes for the local bakery. (University bakery) Enjoy your coffee and try to get as many right answers as you can on the trivia game on the TV's. An absolute must go.

Gemma who served us was wonderful. They had just opened and we were one of their first customers. She greeted us with a big smile and came by regularly to top our coffees and checked on us. The restaurant is very clean and has a charming feel to it. The Benedict’s hollandaise sauce was unbelievably delicious. The home fries were cooked to perfection and the eggs were out of this world. If you are in the neighbourhood, I highly recommend for you to go there.

My all time favourite breakfast joint at Guelph! The food was always served in a great portion and the quality has been consistent throughout the time. The staffs are friendly as well. I highly recommend anyone who enjoy breakfast to come here and try out their breakfast burger and omelettes!!!

What a great place to eat! I can honestly say, i have not had my tables order come out that fast in a very long time! My Mom was so shocked, she thought our waitress brought the wrong food to our table lol Everything was exactly as ordered. Service was polite and efficient, had multiple servers ask if coffees needed warmed up. The restaurant is actually alot bigger than it looks from the road. There was plenty tables full for breakfast, but the place did not seem crowded or uncomortable. An added delight was the trivia on the TV, that gave answers after 10 seconds. It helped add to conversation, while not being distracting, loud or overbearing. Looking forward to my next visit!

A place where you don't just go to eat but to live the experience, to relax, to enjoy the atmosphere and to share in good company, the food is very delicious, they know how to serve a good beer and a meat in the perfect way. It is a quiet and pleasant place, without external noise, good service, the waiters are very friendly and agile. 100% recommended

One of my favorite go-to for breakfast! The menu offers a lot of healthy and not so healthy options; but I’ve never had a bad meal here. In talking with our waitress, you could tell she loves her job and this restaurant. She was having fun and engaging conversations with every one of her customers which was awesome to hear. We had the Classic Breakfast and the Uptown sandwich. Both were very tasty and made exactly as we had requested! I had the Uptown sandwich on an English Muffin, our waitress suggested having it with two eggs instead of three as it would fit better on the smaller bread. She was right! The coffee is always as good as the service and the food here!
