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!

I'm usually pretty tough to please but my meal had really great flavors & textures. The staff are hustling & working together to provide a good experience. I only decided to write this becuase I don't agree with the current 4.1 rating. My waitress Lawrence regardless of how busy she was, had a smile on her face the whole time. Haley was also moving quickly to assure I had a great experience & my coffee didn't get below half a cup.

I arrived to a busy venue with serving ladies rushed off their feet. Despite this, I was served quickly & the delicious food was excellent value for money. The servers were hard-working & friendly - a credit to the venue.

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.

This is the best place for a delicious breakfast/brunch for a great price. There are so many wonderful options to choose from. & it's located close to the QE Fairmont we stayed at. The waitress for our first visit was Marie, this lady is amazing, so efficient, so friendly, does everything with a smile! The best I've ever seen!! This place is extremely busy & for good reason, we went around 11:30am & got seated within a couple of minutes but the waitresses are busy so it may take a bit to get your food/bill but well worth it. We went back the next day & Jen was really good as well. Definitely eat here!
