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.

- Runny egg whites,
- toast that is barely toasted,
- cold potatoes.

All this for such increased prices? Not worth it anymore.

I've been coming here for many years, but a recent subtantial drop in food quality will lead me elsewhere.

Excellent service rapide & repas. J'ai choisi la tartine mascarpone & fraise. C'était délicieux.

I would have rated them higher had they not refused to serve me only one poached egg, saying this option is not available on weekends. Blatant cash grab driving food waste. If you're a light eater go elsewhere on weekends.

We had a great breakfast (or brunch) here! The service was friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. The taters were especially delicious - not sure what seasoning you use, but they were a standout. Portion sizes were just right, prices were very reasonable, & there's such a wide selection on the menu. All around, a great dining experience - we'll definitely be back!

Went for brunch & got some eggs Benedict with avocado. They were really good but one was a little overcooked. Other than that it was a really good brunch place! Really fast service too.
