Review Summary

Ben & Florentine is widely recognized as a popular downtown destination for breakfast and brunch, frequently praised for its generous portions, fresh ingredients, and varied menu options. While a vast majority of patrons highlight the exceptional, friendly, and hardworking nature of the service staff, some visitors have noted that the restaurant can become quite crowded, leading to potential wait times or an occasionally rushed atmosphere. Most guests appreciate the overall value and consistent quality of the food, particularly the egg benedicts, pancakes, and creative additions like churros, though experiences regarding service speed and dining pace can occasionally fluctuate depending on how busy the venue is.

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

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).

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 cleanliness

It's a very nice small brunch restaurant with something for everyone. It has great vegetarian options. The service is excellent at least the madam that was our server was above & beyond. So nice.

Great place for an easy breakfast. Menu is vast. We avoided the fried food & went with the healthy options. Oats were great with good serving of fruit & granola was also big. Good to the brown sugar & cream on the side for the oats & not in there already. We don't drink coffee at all - we were asked 3 times in the first 5 minutes by 3 different people if we wanted coffee. Might sound annoying to some, but it's good attention to the customer.

Vraiment déçu par ce restaurant ! Au départ, je découvre que les toilettes sont bloquées & débordent ! Ensuite je commande sans banane dans les fruits & je reçois mon assiette avec bananes alors qui je suis allergique ! Ensuite dans une bouchée de mon bagel au saumon fumée je m'étouffe avec un arête ! Du jamais vu pour moi, un arête dans le saumon fumée ! Des patates épicées rouge avec un goût d'huile de friteuse ! Donc un 27$ mal investi qui a été décevant ! Je ne retournerais pas dans ce restaurant ni aucun de cette chaîne !
