You order the daily special with a vegetarian dish called "Grilled vegetable & goat cheese wrap" & when the waiter says "replacing fries (unhealthy) for a salad costs $2.25" I wonder who runs the menu in this place. First & last visit. Unbelievable Note: waitress did a cracking job on her first week so merited a tip regardlessView more

Very busy breakfast spot; offering discounted breakfast specials before 8:30am. The service was nice, pleasant & speedy. Ordered eggs with crispy bacons. The potatoes were not as crunchy as other branches. The dining environment is smoky. It's nice to have a B & F in downtown that opens early.View more

Came here once & it was great. This was my 2nd time & the potatoes were cold & hard. Theyre a bit cheap on the sauce with the poutine also.View more

The service was good , the waitresses checked-in all the time, but the food was disappointing. I'm not sure if it's only their seasonal beef special options, but it was flavorless. My poached eggs were completely hard cooked. The sauce is tasteless, sad. The best of the plates were the potatoes & the fruit. Maybe try other options.View more

Fantastic selection of brunch items, drinks, & other treats. Stopped by here while we waited for our train boarding time to hit. Love that the benny came with a side of fruit salad, really helped balance everything out. Coffee did taste a little watery but I came here for the food not the coffee. Everything was reasonably priced, & the wait staff was very attentive.View more

I often cant decide between sweet & savory breakfast items, & here you dont need to. Its nice to get a sweet crepe, toast, eggs, bacon/sausage, etc. all in one order, but just make sure you are hungry! The poached egg on the eggs benedict was unfortunately cold, like it was prepared in advance & saved until serving. The other eggs were good, as were the potatoes & meats. Waffle was standard. Coffee & tea are included with of if the menu items. The crepes are quite thick here-personally I prefer them thinner. Overall I would recommend B&F for breakfast & brunch, especially with the big portion sizes & variety within ordersView more

Expérience agréable un samedi matin qui était un peu achalandé mais vraiment l'attente a été raisonnable. C'est un menu varié qui nous est offert je pense y retourner.View more

Has to be the best breakfast place I have ever eaten at. Food was amazing, good portion size & price was reasonable for what we had. The food was high quality. Service: No complaints, server did a good job & had no issues. Atmosphere, restaurant was elegant, I really appreciate when they have an open kitchen as well to be able to see the food prepared.View more

J'y suis allée deux fois j'ai aimé les menus en général. Le problème c'est le service j'ai vécue une expérience décevante. La première fois c'était avec l'une des serveuses. Avec mes amies on avait partagé les notes. Alors on a payé deux notes avec de bons pourboires & la dernière sans. La serveuse l'a très mal pris & n'a pas hésité à nous faire la remarque. Mais ceci n'était pas très grave pour moi je suis revenue la semaine d'après (dimanche 27 octobre vers 13h) Alors cette fois c'est pire l'une des serveuses celle qui installait les gens m'a prit une chaise haute bébé & la donne à d'autres clients alors que non bb y était assis choquée c'était très humiliant. Elle a dit c'est pour l'autre table. Je ne comprends pas comment un enfant peut passer avant l'autre ils sont tous importants aux yeux de leurs parents. C'est inacceptable. Je n'ai pas voulu faire un scandale & j'ai laissé passer j'ai payé ma note avec pourboire comme d'habitude. J'étais triste & déçueView more

La serveuse est bien gentille mais l'attente est incroyablement longue surtout quand tu as terminer de manger. De plus aucune autres employés ne peux t'aider pour pouvoir payer & il y en a définitivement pas assez. Tout le monde est assis les un sur les autres & c'est impossible de circuler entre les tables. Je vous conseille de meme pas penser aller a la salle de bain. & vraiment ce qui m'a dégouter c'est de voir un employé de la cuisine s'y rendre avec son tablier de travail. Je n'ai vraiment plus la patiente d'y aller. Mon assiette était bien bonne par contre.View more

L'oeuf bénédicte était bon mais les pommes de terre trop sèches, dommage. En revanche le personnel est très sympa!View more

Dear Ben & Florentine, It's no secret I love my breakfast & my definite go to place is your outlet on Mansfield. I came back on Sunday Oct 6th & it is always wonderful. Every time I go, I get the very best service & quality breakfast. Today, I will tell you about a very special waitress that really works very hard & is an ambassador of your brand. She is an inspiration, one of those people you always want breakfast from. Marie-Pier is extremely devoted to you & her clients & she has always treated me like gold, been extremely attentive & caring. She is one of those waitresses every other restaurant wished they had. Not only does she know her menu inside & out, she really gives personalized quality service not found elsewhere. She is very careful with your brand & is alert in her entourage. She assists other waitresses, makes sure things run smoothly. It's not just about my service but everyone else. She gives so much to Ben & Florentine & absolutely loves her work with you, I feel it each time. She's the waitress that has it all, beautiful inside & out, giving her best service with very high professional standards.Attentive & very very hard working. She has served me for years & each time, i got more than breakfast, I got a welcome home experience. You ought to be very proud of her & her contribution. I don't know if you have an employee incentive program but I am compelled to write as i am in awe each time Marie-Pier gives me her service. She deserves a nice bonus, a certificate or something like that. She is worthy of any recognition you can give her as for jenny( both are out of this world).View more

From entering B&F it took 40 mins for two servings of oatmeal to arrive. The floor was dirty. Toilets out of order & also dirty. Seemed short staffed with a lack of focus on cleanlinessView more
