I had the bulgogi beef eggs and chicken and waffle. Both super delicious but hands down the best beef bulgogi in town! Its my new fav spot for brunch! Huge shoutout to Kyle ! Super friendly and amazing staff there. Warm welcomes from everyone .

I loved my experience from start to finish it was my first time here and definitely won’t be my last. Kyle greeted me so kindly and helped me choose what to try. My friend and I shared the Chicken & Waffles and the Bulgogi Benedict, and both were incredibly delicious and super filling. We also ordered matcha, which was amazing. Kyle truly brightened my day with his hospitality from beginning to end. I’ll absolutely be coming back because of him! Totally worth the 30 minute drive!

I went to this place based on the recommendation of my dad, we went during a weekday and this place was packed you have to join a waitlist and it's only a 45 min dining limit. I got the Nutella latte and the chicken and waffles. A bit expensive but the chicken was juicy crispy and moist mixed with the chipotle aioli, and syrup it melts in your mouth and the Nutella latte was not overly sweet and a good robust coffee flavour. The service was good, refilled our water, pretty big portion for the chicken and waffles o shared one dish with my dad and I was full.

Best French toast I've ever had (sorry mom). I tried my friends dishes too (Lap Cheong Hash and Chicken and Waffles) and they were amazing. Amazing coffee. Sometimes decaf is hit or miss at places but this decaf was so good! Our waiter Kyle was super friendly and helpful. We're not from the area but I'll be making an excuse to come back here for sure!

Finally got to check this place out. Everything was very clean. Surprised to see how busy it was at 9:45am on a Tuesday. Each table had a glass jug of water and a cup which in 2025 is a rarity. Service was fair. The waitress definitely knew the menu well and seemed knowledgeable. I ordered a flat white and their classic breakfast with scrambled eggs and bacon. Extra sausage as a side. It took a good 20 minutes and then my flat white was served. It was serviceable but small and decently serviceable is all I can say. Try The Library Specialty Coffee at 11 Fairburn if you want to know what a good flat white tastes like. 10 minutes later my side of sausage was served to me….which was weird but I was hoping this was a good sign my meal was coming. It finally came a few minutes later. The eggs were silky and smooth but lacked taste. Only one really well done sourdough toast slice with salad was provided. The potatoes/home fries were really good though! Crispy but soft inside and flavourful. Bacon was curled up…seemed to be 3 strips but all curled up for some reason. Bacon is bacon though. Sausages were good too but nothing outstanding. Still good though. I was expecting a little more out of this place but a strong 4 out of 5 nonetheless. Place was getting even busier as I left with a line up outside by 10:30am. Crowd was nice. A good mix. Still worth checking out if you’re in the area.
