The food was really good, and the service was amazing. The staff were honest from the beginning that the wait for a table would be around 40–50 minutes, which I appreciated. The restaurant is quite small and was completely packed, and I only saw about four servers working. The main issue was that there did not seem to be a host managing the entrance or wait-list. The servers had to stop serving tables to add new customers to the list, which slowed everything down. It also allowed some people to walk in, sit at an available table, and skip the wait-list entirely. The server seemed too kind to ask an upset customer to leave, so they were allowed to stay. Having a dedicated host would make the system much more organized and fair for everyone. Despite that, the food and flavour combinations were excellent, and the freshly pressed juice was very good. I would definitely recommend this place; just make sure you have something to do while waiting for a table ;)

Holy shit you guys, I'm not even kidding around when I say this. I would kiss the cooks on the lips if they let me. I got the MTL Benedict with a half portion of potatoes. The coffee was good but the food took all my attention. When that plate hit the table I about had to change my pants. Barely spoke to my girlfriend the whole time cuz we were both mucking like our lives depended on it. Truly felt like an angel wrapped me up in her wings and cradled me to sleep. I should have taken a picture of my meal. In my defence, it felt like nothing else in the world mattered with that work of art in front of me. Rest assured, I'm coming back to give them more of my money, they absolutely deserve it. I pray to God that I live the rest of my life without regret, had I only found you sooner..

Best vegan brunch! They have a lot of options for everyone. The food was delicious and I will definitely be back. The restaurant is a bit small and the service is okay but the vegan options and the delicious food is worth it. The coffees are also amazing. I had the vegan breakfast sandwich with a side of fraisinette pancake and a simple moka. Also a side note: their menu changes every 2 months, which is great! If you go on the weekend, they may put you on a waiting list. We got our table 30 minutes later for four people.

I was visiting Montreal as a tourist, On my last day I visited this restaurant, firstly it was a 30 almost 40? minute wait to just get seated which is more than most restaurants but I figured I would give it a wait. After the time frame hit we were seated and the restaurant was over crowded and it was quite honestly hard to hear my friends. We placed our orders and waited quite awhile to receive what I deemed a pretty simple set of orders. At the end the debit machine did not give me an option for tipping so I entered in my own amount to my embarrassment the waiter made a big fuss about the amount and shamed me in front of my friends and patrons. It was an embarrassing situation that made me feel awful. To correct my mistake my friends were kind enough to tip extra to make up for my tip and yet the waiter was still very rude. He ruined the whole experience and I will never recommend this restaurant to any friends or family who visit.

I went here this weekend, and everything was absolutely delicious and authentic. Everyone was so kind and thoughtful. I ordered the Pain Doré plate, which came with homemade fruit compote, a fresh salad with watermelon, and oven-baked potatoes + cappuccino along with a freshly pressed orange and grapefruit juice, and both were excellent. I usually take photos to include with my reviews, but the food was so good and I was enjoying the moment so much that I completely forgot! I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back.

We love getting brunch here. There is usually a wait time, especially during busy hours, but we just go for a walk until we receive a text that our table is ready. The service is always great, and if you want to tip 15% just add both tax amounts together (TPS + TVQ). The iced matcha is good, and hot lavender latte is great. I always take the sandwich and my girlfriend takes pancakes :)

I rarely leave reviews, but this place absolutely deserves one. Easily one of the best brunch spots I've been to. The service stood out from the moment we arrived. Our server, a young dude with tattoos, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk us through the menu and ask questions about the drink preferences without making us feel rushed. The rest of the team was just as attentive, including a young English guy and a woman with short blonde hair, who were checking in, refilling our water, and making sure everything was perfect. It's refreshing to feel looked after instead of having to flag someone down. The atmosphere is warm, clean, and inviting. The second floor, in particular, has the cozy feel of sitting in someone's kitchen, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable. Most importantly, the food was outstanding. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The iced latte was especially excellent. I'll definitely be coming back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for a great brunch.

It is lovely to read that you have noticed our attention to client experience and ambiance; we put a lot of efforts into elevating our dining experience, even as a brunch place. Warmed, not rushed, attentive is very much what we are aiming for. Looking forward to see you again, -The Toasties

I've always loved this breakfast spot, the food is really good although the wait can be a little long at times. I just find it unfortunate that they apply 18% as a minimum tip on their machine. I know one can change it but we all know we look cheap in front of the employees and anyone at our side when doing that. Not a fan of restaurants applying this trick. I'll bring it back to 5 stars if they change it eventually.

Please read! If you are the owners please read! My first visit here was excellent, which is exactly why I chose to come back and support a local business. Unfortunately, this second visit highlighted serious issues with professionalism, attention to detail, and listening. I was served by two staff members: a young woman wearing a Bad Bunny shirt who took my food/drinks order, and a young man with brown hair who handled drinks and table interactions. Both were polite, but politeness does not make up for repeated service failures. To be very clear: I ordered an iced matcha latte and a cappuccino. Word for word. What was made was an iced latte, which is not the same drink. This wasn’t a misunderstanding — it was a failure to listen. Being pleasant is not a substitute for accuracy. The same issue happened with my food. I ordered the breakfast poutine and clearly specified bacon only, no sausage. I even corrected the server (young woman) when it was briefly misinterpreted as “extra bacon.” Despite this, the dish arrived with sausage — more sausage than bacon. At that point, after multiple errors, I did not feel comfortable sending the order back again. I also noticed that I was not the only table they made mistakes with. What made this more frustrating is that the order was verbally repeated back to me, yet still executed incorrectly. If mistakes are common, orders need to be written down. Repeating an order incorrectly and then serving the wrong item shows a lack of care. There was also a communication issue. The male server repeatedly responded to me in French even after I consistently spoke in English and made it clear I was more comfortable being served in English. Montréal is a bilingual city, and responding in the customer’s language is basic service etiquette. After several instances, this became irritating and unprofessional. Overall, the staff was friendly, but friendliness without accuracy and professionalism is not enough. If any of these staff members are in management roles, that is especially concerning. I hope ownership takes this feedback seriously, because based on my first visit, this place can do much better.

I tried this cozy brunch spot a few days ago on my own and really liked the aesthetic inside. I ordered the pancakes which was super fluffy and delicious, and the coffee tasted great too. The service was a little slow since the place was packed, but the staff was super welcoming and gave great service anyway.

delish! i had the halloumi sandwich on bagel and it was great, really enjoyed the potatoes as well. i was delighted by the extensive vegan + gf menu! a little on the expensive side, but they seem to source a lot of ingredients locally. plus the service was so friendly and the location was beautiful, so it's a great spot for a special occasion. i don't know if they do reservations, but for weekend brunch it gets pretty packed so i recommend arriving early. i will be going back soon :))

Hello and thank you for your extensive reviews and cheers! We do a lot of work in-house and take no short cut on product choices, unlocking a quality vegan menu, gluten free options and a deep knowledge of our menu to advise with confidence our vast "allergies" clientele, but it might result a little pricier items that we wish we could settle on. Regarding the reservations, we function with a text message line-up system that allows you to come by the restaurant, put your name on the list if the waiting time we estimate suits you and then, go for a walk, play with the kids at the near-by corner or wait for your friends sipping a drink in the fresh air. Thank for you visit in hope to see more of you, - The Toasties.

Super cozy spot with a simple curated menu to maximize quality of dishes over selection, mimosas are excellent. Coffee (flat white and Moca are also excellent) Importante heads up to keep in mind. If you didn't reserve, be prepared to wait outside between 15-45 minutes depending on how packed it is(we luckily did not have to we arrived at the perfect time and another pair had canceled last minute allowing us to only wait 5 minutes) The service is solid and quick, but the wait on the food was between 20 to 35 minutes, if you are in a hurry maybe not ideal. The team is good, the food is good, experience overall 80%/100% solid

The food here is excellent. Definitely a notch above most breakfast chains. And they now have gluten-free bread yay. The people are super friendly. It's a bit noisy but well worth the visit. It's nice also that they have an upstairs seating area as well as an outdoor terrace for summer.
