Allô mon Coco is described across reviews as a place with a bright new setting and a strong breakfast vibe, but opinions are split on portion size and value, with some noting smaller portions while prices stayed the same. Service is praised in several visits for friendliness and attentiveness, though other experiences report rude or slow service, mistakes with orders, and delays even when the restaurant is not very busy. Food quality ranges from excellent breakfast dishes and generous portions to complaints about burnt eggs, cold potatoes, missing items, and meals that do not live up to expectations. Ambiance and cleanliness vary, with some enjoying a clean, welcoming environment and others describing worn seating and dirty bathrooms. Opening hours are praised in some reviews for starting the day earlier than nearby competition, but that benefit is not universal. Across the board, many customers would return for breakfast and the overall menu, yet a number of reviews urge improvements in service consistency, portion sizing at some locations, and upkeep of the dining area.
Great portions, we had all the scrumptious large plates from crepes, to pancakes, scrambled, great fresh fruit.... Overall a great option for breakfast or brunch.
Resto classique de la chaîne pour la nourriture. Toujours bon pour la nourriture. Toutefois les 2 fois où j'ai été à ce restaurant, le service était pitoyable. Entre l'employé qui nous oublie pendant 45m pour apportez la facture, ou encore l'employé qui nous jette le sachet de thé sur la table sans ménagement & super bête.... Je ne retournerai plus à cette succursale.

Me encantó! Sugerencia: si no comes mucho mejor pide un plato para compartir, los platos son enormes! Pero delicioso Los chicos del servicio súper atentos
We had breakfast today at our favourite neighborhood AMCoco, service was generally fine & atmosphere as we remembered it, as we hadn't been here in a while. 3 of us with two breakfasts that were good as usual... the other was a lunch special that we've ordered many times before but for the first time it came out different. Club sandwich special; The salad, soup, & coffee were fine. Usually the fries are perfectly cooked for frozen fries, & their club is really good, with fresh roasted Iike chicken... for the first time the fries were off, seemed like refried French fries - you know that taste & texture. & the main meal which we were looking forward to was off. Instead of the normally juicy bbqued like pieces of chicken it is now heavily coated with spices & had an orangish tint to it... maybe covering a cheap piece of meat? Or trying too hard to make something taste better when the classic taste was very good. We explained to our waitress, she was actually fine & reasonably pleasant, but only answered with an, "I'm sorry," apology & moved on. Regardless of getting anything or offering anything, a better conversation & explanation would have sufficed... we thought, perhaps it's the first (lunch) order syndrome -> leftovers being repurposed?! Wanted to have a nice relaxing meal & conversation, instead left a poor taste in our mouths, literally & figuratively, will not order this way again... if we ever come back 🙄😔🤔
Props to the server this morning 6am at opening. Lots of people, server was alone, doing a great job. Fast service, came back for more coffee, nice attitude. Keep it up !
So sad for this restaurant which I love most before. Now, the chair has food, coffee cup is not clean, the waiter passed two times without add the coffee to empty cup till you ask, wrong order....

I always come here to eat breakfast with my grandmother. I recently had a surgery that doesn't allow me to eat much. I wanted a kid's meal portion, which was refused & I understood. (I even showed my medical card) The waiter was rude about it. I then ordered an adult sized meal. We got our meals & the potatoes & the bread weren't what we ordered. Our coffee & water wasn't being filled. As we waited for the bill, the owner came out to talk to us. We are grown adults & understand that I couldn't order a kids' portion. We didn't need the owner to come out & rehash & defend the issue. It was uncalled for & he was very unfriendly. The food was already ordered & end of story. He also asked us about the waiter & what exactly was said. We said nevermind, we just wanted to pay & get out of there because the whole atmosphere was negative & uncomfortable. He left our table & we waited for the bill. Our waiter came without a word & dropped the payment machine & bill on the edge of the table & walked away. Not even looking at us or handing it to us. I have never been so disappointed in service. My grandmother is 79 years old & we always come here to eat together. We will never come back.
We went at noon on a weekday & it was not too busy. Pleasant service & generous servings. The food was delicious, & the tasty coffee was flowing. Their fruit is very fresh. There are many options on the menu. Overall A+!
Pros: Monday to Friday, if you go early enough, they have an early bird special menu that's inexpensive. Portions are large. Free coffee refills. Breakfast potatoes (cubed or mashed) are tasty. Cons: The urinal in the handicap washroom is overflowing with urine. When it rains, the restaurant is riddled with buckets to catch the water from the leaky ceiling.
First of all, you get greeted by a sweatpants wearing teenager who graciously makes time for you by stopping her social media for a few minutes. She is wearing tennis sneakers & looks like she just came back from gym class. We are offered the worst seats in the busiest location (where there should not even be a table, frankly) & when we ask to be seated in one of the many empty tables she says it is reserved, but no one is there at 2 pm (& no one show up there the entire time we ate!). We get seated at a high table, order & the food arrives quickly. But, no utensils & no check on us (you know, the usual "is everything to your liking..") despite the fact that we are clearly not eating. Finally, I request utensils & the missing toast (no butter, please). The utensils arrive immediately but the toast is drenched in butter. Frankly, the entire experience was something that felt like a fancy McDonalds. Kids for staff who have no experience & lots of plastic decor. If I am to spend almost $50 bucks on two coffees, a breakfast plate & 1 side of potatoes (fancy & yummy, I must admit), I would rather go elsewhere. It was just not worth the value. Fifty bucks & I only ordered 1 full meal (2 eggs, a smallish dessert crepe, & forgettable extras on the side). In summary, I like the food at this place, but the experience (service & ambience) & the bang for the buck is just not there.
