I would have rated a 4 but I feel that they normally would execute better - I just came at a bad time. Was thrilled to find these guys had filled the breakfast gap in my neighbourhood. Only 7 weeks old, I walked in not really sure what to expect. What I discovered was truly unique. If you cross-bred a vegan with a carnivore you’d get Brekkie. The menu boasts healthy bowls and kombucha tea to breakfast dishes with sides of meaty goodness. I have the three eggs which came with fried pork belly, brisket and thick cut bacon. A halved tomato topped with a nice pesto sauce and herbed potatoes. My friend had the eggs sandwich with pork belly and pineapple salsa. The only downs I found was initial contact with staff to place an order was a little long but so friendly once they got past the rush that had just hit. The other were the potatoes which felt like they had been sitting in oil, they were so greasy I couldn’t eat them. The rest of the dish was magic - meat sweats for days! For breakfast it’s on the higher end of the price scale but you really get something different than everywhere else. Not the place for a classic brekkie that’s for sure! The vibe and decor was fresh and open with high ceilings and bright colours. Will return for sure!

I've been to Brekkie several times over the past few years including recently. I have no affiliation with Brekkie, but it is very close to my house so it's also easy to get to. This is my first review (long overdue). Love it each time, specifically for the food quality. I go with friends who prefer the more dessert type dishes whereas I prefer their eggs benedict dishes especially with salad. Rarely I get excited about salad, but their dressing is so light and tasty. The staff and cooking team are always friendly / polite (and to everyone, from what I can see). I think my only complaint<?> is that they're busy esp. on weekends that we usually have to get on the waitlist (in advance via Yelp) or phone in advance for an exact person # reservation if we're a larger group, and we've always been seated and served properly. These are just a few pics I've taken from my visits. They also do slight adjustments to their menu from time to time, while still maintaining the baseline of their dishes and food quality.

Came back again. Not sure if they changed chefs, but their food has declined. We ordered a feature special, Dijon mushroom burger with truffle tater tots, barbacoa eggs benny, and ranchers breakfast. I'm sad to say that they lacked flavor and some didn't pair well with each other. Eggs benny, instead of English muffin or brioche/sourdough buns, they used some type of flat bread, which didn't not go well with the barbacoa beef. The burger was subpar, nothing special, something you can probably make at home. The ranchers breakfast, I have gotten in the past, but it definitely tastes different. They served it with the barbacoa beefs which lacked flavor, spolumbos sausages which were meh, jalapeño cornbread that could've been better, and the yogurt lime slaw, I don't know what they were trying to do with that but it just wasn't good. Their sides, the tater tots and Koran style breakfast potatoes were not bad, the only think that I ate on my plate. Drinks we order was long on fog... It came Luke warm. Had to drink fast so it didn't go cold... All in all, its no longer worth it for the 30 plus minutes drive... Only go there for good brunch but since they can't maintain their standards, I wouldn't waste my time. 1 year ago Second time here. Not gonna lie, from where I live, this is a 30mim drive if not more. I love their food and sangria but it wouldn't be a place I visit often due to their location. It's great for people who loves hear here but I live in Beddington and it's a long drive. Only come here once in a while but they don't disappoint. First time here I got their Benny's and the portion isn't great. Very little meat compared to everything else. But their food are pretty exceptional

This was our second time coming here and I am so disappointed. The first time was fabulous, service was amazing, and the menu was unreal even with a busy day. This time with just as busy of an environment the service was poor with dirty cups being left behind on our table the entirety of the meal, leaving us waiting to get the bill while our server was lingering behind the drink counter, and the food was nowhere near the same. The Dill Pickle Fried Chicken and Waffles needs to make a come back! It was a staple and I noticed in many reviews that it was posted. Had I known the menu changed within 2 weeks from the previous reviews I would have not waited almost exactly 2 hours to have breakfast here. I had the rancher breakfast. The cheese toast tasted like pizza bread, the coleslaw dressing tasted like straight lime juice and was completely soaked into the bottom sides of the toast, the sausages had a weird truffle after taste, and it just did not satisfy me the way I thought it would have even with the amazing taste of the short rib. I was so excited to show my parents this place and the chicken and waffles but sadly it was a hot mess from the beginning. I'm really sad they did not get the impression and experience like I had the first time at Brekkie.

I have been here several times for brunch. Sadly this place has decreased in value. They removed the short rib poutine (which was delicious) and replaced it with a gross beef cheek poutine which has a unique taste that isn't the most flavourful or appetizing. Tried the salmon and avocado brekkie. This was ok. There presentation is great but this only had one small piece of smoked salmon and not even a quarter of avocado. What is worse is this isn't not a eggs Benedict. It is a deconstructed eggs Benedict where you make it yourself. Just put a salmon eggs Benny option on your menu. Also this dish had no breakfast potatoes and instead had half a plate of various greens. They should really cut the greens in half and put some breakfast potatoes. The guests with me ordered the lobster eggs Benny. They said it was good. Quite frankly that dish seemed worth it over the salmon and avocado brekkie dish. The lavender London fog is really good.

Edit: Unfortunately, Brekkie has consistently gone downhill these last two years. Prices soared a little too fast and food quality has declined. They swapped their iconic sweet potato/potato hash mix with just a plain potato hash, and care in preparing the food has declined. Ex. New salmon sandwich is just meat, leaves, and bland sauce on an untoasted bun? Potatoes now also seem to be chronically under fried. Drinks used to be good here in the past, but the new staff seem to have a lack of training with the espresso machine/drink recipe preps. Shots are unpleasantly overextracted, milk is steamed past the denaturing temperature (reduced creaminess and extra bitterness!), and syrup qualities are ???? Please quality control the food and staff back to how it was 2yrs ago so we can keep coming back :( Old review: Good food and some ridiculously good service. Worth a trip
