Breakfast is breakfast but L' Avenue is the breakfast place to go.
Was really impressed with my plate, especially their baked potatoes, bacon & their blueberry lemon pancake, is the bomb.
Laura was polite & nice. Highly recommend!!
We had an amazing experience with the waitress Voula service was outstanding food was great .... definitely different from your commun breakfast places
This was not my first time at this breakfast place, however, this is the first time since they changed their menu. Overall I was happy with the service & wait staff. Our breakfast was served faster than I expected. Portions were more than enough,(had to ask for a take out box) The noise level was high so having a conversation was challenging. Food was excellent, only thing that left a bitter taste was the filtered coffee. It was so strong that I'm sure I grew hair on my chest.
Different kind of breakfast/brunch,i would check out the menu before you visit,i was very excited for the red sharshuka & i was disappointed. Everything was delicious.
L'avenue is one of my favourite breakfast spots. Their bobby dallas is absolutely incredible, & very filling. Rather you're indecisive on your choice on which French toast to try, they're all absolutely delicious & a great take on a dessert style French toast. If you're looking for a breakfast & brunch kind of place, I highly recommend this place, you won't regret it 😊

Breakfast place that gives you food of higher quality than the typical eggs & potatoes, with many fancier, tasty options! Real maple at the table, which is a game changer (we hate fake syrup). Friendly staff!
Food is good & menu is refreshing from same old breakfast menus. There's often a line up, be patient. Because it's so busy, service is a little slow for this type of place. Specially getting coffee refill. Overall a nice place to try out.
Great place for brunch or breakfast if you want to explore new flavors but because of its' popularity, it at times, the lineup can be super long. Place: Open floor plan so noise level can be high, go for a booth if you can. Decor is interesting. Service: The service is awesome, Voula is attentive, friendly & super nice! She made our brunch very enjoyable. Thanks 😊 Food: You can try the regular breakfast but for a truely good experience try the specialties. We had Red Shakshuka, Truffle Duck, Chakchouka & Pecan Pie French Toast (French toast are super big!) PS Try their smoothies Conclusion: You can have a regular breakfast or have an awesome breakfast. Either way, you won't be disappointed.
Cute little place ended up here by accident decided to order our standard breakfast wife didn't really like they way her eggs tasted & mine were nothing special staff was nice & quick & the atmosphere was fun but a little all over the place I guess it worth a try everyone has different tastes I guess
Great service, great atmosphere, & the food is some of the best breakfast food I've had. I chose the lemon ricotta pancakes from the indecisive menu, & my friend chose the tiramisu French toast. It was absolutely delicious. I also had the Oreo milkshake, which was phenomenal - tasted just right, not too sweet - great consistency. The service was great too, the team really knew how to coordinate & we were well taken care of. Pro-tip - better to arrive before 10:30am on the weekends. It was nice & quiet when we came in at 10:15. At around 11, the rush started out of nowhere & was busy until we left around 12:45. Will definitely be back! If you don't find parking in the parking lot, the side streets are a great option.
Food is mediocre at best & way overpriced compared to other breakfast joints. Waitress was rushing everything & was just overall obnoxious & rude. The atmosphere is nice but not worth a second visit.

Amazing service. No wonder why there is a lineup everytime. Food portion is just right. Atmosphere & vibe A+. The price is the expensive side for a breakfast but the quality of food you get matches that price.
Where do we start The staff were exceptional - so kind & responsive!! I had the pistachio latte & it was amazing!! Not too sweet & loads of crushed pistachios. Absolutely wonderful. My daughter had the Rejuvenate smoothie - wow what a beautiful presentation & burst of fresh fruit. My hubby got Huevos Rancheros - packed with fresh ingredients, a huge serving & extra hot sauce! My daughter got the strawberry nutella French Toast & the portion size was unreal!!! She could only eat one piece but was in Nutella heaven. I got the Pink Salmon Eggs Benny - 2 poached organic eggs, smoked salmon, citrus, ginger & chives cream cheese, avocadoes, marinated onions, topped with a beet juice infused hollanddaise sauce, on a bagel. Quite possibly the best EB I've ever had! Absolutely incredible!!! The homemade breakfast potatoes are soooo savoury!! A decadent treat for all of us. We literally stumbled upon this place - from the zany decor to the fun vibe, customer service & amazing food - we highly recommend & will be coming back!! Thank you for your attention to detail! These Yellowknifers will be back again!!
Food: Pecan French toast breakfast plate was delicious. On the sweet side, but was full of flavour & topped with a delicious syrup that left me wanting to lick the plate. Potatoes were better than you're ready for, not fried but maybe pan tossed with herbs. Bacon & eggs were yummy as a staple side that went very well with the baguette to make a sandwich. Drinks: I ordered a chai latte & the small was a great portion, could barely finish it after the large breakfast plate. Wasn't artificially sweet & I added my own sugar - not very spicy but good nonetheless. My souse ordered a hot chocolate that was good as well. Atmosphere: Playlist was a little odd, sounded like someone hooked up their Spotify & played their liked songs on random. The volume was too loud & hard to hear each other talking. Otherwise good for families & kids. Entertaining wall decor & stuff hanging from ceiling.
