Wanted to treat myself to breakfast. Great service, decent selection & the food was good. It was delicious & the server was great. One minor thing would be the cleanliness of the bathroom but beyond that, incredible.

I arrived here maybe around 8:45 AM on Saturday for the long weekend in August. This place was really nice & stood out to me on Google Maps because it had really good reviews. The food looked really nice & it definitely delivered.

I got seated within a minute of even getting into the place & the server was really nice. I came with a table of four people, & I ordered the salmon bagel with breakfast fruit, & breakfast potatoes. This is really nice because I don't usually get much options for persons who do not eat egg so the salmon was a plus. My friend got the seasonal items with apple & peach toast with bacon & eggs. One got a French toast with eggs as well & these definitely look really good.

I only took pictures of my food, but safe to say the other others also had a good experience as well.

One thing I want to add is that when I came in I requested a table for four & the servers were really accommodating while my friends came in maybe a good 30 to 45 minutes after me. I appreciated that because by the time my friends came, it was really busy & I would assume that getting a table would be very hard.

Overall experience, I would come again.
10/10 for Service, food & location!

Great spot to grab breakfast at a reasonable price. They have an early bird time where you can save around $4.00 on breakfast.

We each had the classic 2 egg breakfast that came with 2 eggs, choice of meat, pan fries, toast & apple sauce.

The servers were friendly, & came back for drink refills more than once.

The food was great..

I would eat here again!

A friend recommended this as her fave breakfast place, & now I know why. I headed to Ben & Florentine for a big breakfast since I had a walking tour after & went for their egg benedict plus a side of bacon. I've had eggs benedict before & I would say that these were the best ones I ever had. Plus free coffee refills & fruit on the side made it such a great meal! So what made me go back a 2nd time in my trip when my flight was cancelled was the service. Huge shoutout to Marie! She was very friendly, remembered me & my order & always took the time to check on me even though she had other waiting tables. We even talked about the airline that even Canadians avoided flying with. Great food & amazing friendly service! I'm a huge fan & would recommend this plac e to anyone!

My new favorite place to have breakfast before going to work. Their little churros are incredibly good!

Today, I went to the Ben & Florentine restaurant located downtown on Mansfield Street after dropping off my vehicle for servicing & a tire change.
Upon arrival, I was assigned a small table for two. I had my breakfast & then ordered a smoothie. While I was still within my expected waiting time (approximately two hours, until I could pick up my vehicle), the waitress seemed eager to bring me the bill, which I paid immediately.
Barely five minutes after I had paid, the waiter came to ask me to vacate the table so they could seat other customers. I refused, explaining calmly that I had not yet reached the two-hour period & that I was simply waiting to retrieve my vehicle.
The waiter then adopted an insistent & inappropriate attitude, even going so far as to question how much time I had left while looking at his watch, clearly putting pressure on me. I indicated that I had about 15 to 20 minutes remaining, but his behavior made it clear that he wanted me to leave immediately.
I find this attitude disrespectful & completely unacceptable. It shows a clear lack of consideration for the customer. This is an experience I have never encountered before & does not reflect the level of service one would expect.
I would like to bring this situation to your attention & hope that it will be taken seriously.
