The Bag Lady Variety — Restaurant in Ontario

I was a little let down with my last visit. I used to have good memories of this place but I was a little underwhelmed with the food for how much it costs and overwhelmed with how crowded it was. It's turned into a hipster photo op place. London has way too many people now so this place was full, and I didn't mind waiting, don't get me wrong. But the prices are too high for what the food is. I got the breakfast poutine which by itself without the add ons is pretty bare boned for $21. So i added an egg and bacon for an additional cost and asked for my egg sunny side up but I got it over easy, which again wasn't a huge deal and the server was nice about it. But after she spoke to the cook he insisted it was sunny side up, when it was literally sitting right in front of me, cooked over easy. I'm no chef but it's not hard to make a sunny side up egg or at least own up to making the wrong efg. I just thought it was inappropriate to come back to the table to let us know what the cook said. Sounds like someone who can't admit to a mistake, so that was just weird. My egg was comped, but the bill didn't make sense. We were charged for HST twice, 13% and 5%. We were also charged a food tax? That was weird, it's my first time ever seeing that and I thought only packaged food gets taxed HST, which we did not get. So 3 different tax charges plus a tip. Just kinda disappointed cause the place itself is cute and I used to have really good...

I was looking for a place to have brunch, I originally wasn’t planning to go here until a friend recommended it to me. Said they had a good experience— they went a few days prior to me going. I got there at 1pm and they close at 2pm which is fine but I wasn’t acknowledged at all. There was 4 people waiting to be seated and I sitting next to them and the server sat them and never acknowledged me. I don’t know if this place is by reservation only or what but there was no communication at all. I was expecting at least a hello or “one moment please” I understand they were busy so I waited about 15 mins. Still nothing, I thought maybe since I was seated by the front door maybe they didn’t see me so I stood and watched them serve water to the tables next to the door and still nothing, not even a glance at the door to make eye contact with me. I was looking forward to eating breakfast here because of the things I’ve heard and the aesthetic but that alone was a turn off. Please work on acknowledging your customers or even letting them know if you’ve done last call. First impressions...

Very cute small and cozy atmosphere! Staff were so friendly :) You might have to wait a bit for a table since there’s only about 6 ish. Tried the cinnamon roll French toast - it was good but tasted mostly like normal French toast. It was $20 - quite pricey for what it is unfortunately. Partner got a panini, it was good, $19, but didn’t come with any homefries or anything which we would have really liked. Regular sized portions. Spent $51 in total for the two dishes, just got waters because all beverages including tea are $3.50+. I wouldn’t go back simply because of the price for a French toast and panini - and once again I would’ve loved included side dishes like home fries or some protein. The panini also came with only one piece of bacon in it. Side home fries costed $9 so we didn’t pay any extra for that. But, if you’re looking for a cozy vintage spot with great service and don’t mind spending $30 for a coffee and meal, then I’d recommend! There’s some street parking around. Two steps to get inside so not wheelchair accessible.

I’d...
