I was very excited to visit the Egg Club in Toronto after seeing that all of their breakfast sandwiches are made with Japanese milk bread! There is limited street parking outside of the restaurant so come during off times. We walked in and were welcomed to the friendliest cashier. He helped my ordering experience by recommending some of his favorite sandwiches. I’ll take all the help when they make it hard to choose the whole menu sounds delicious. I decided to order the bacon and cheese sandwich, while my boyfriend ordered the BLT and a peach tea. Since there is no indoor seating we waited outside to eat our food to go and it was better that way since it was pretty smoky inside (not that it bothered me in the slightest). The cashier even gave us scratch off cards while we waited with the coupons for the next visit! A Free hash brown and 15% off, you can not beat that! Our food was ready in 5 mins and boy did we dig in. My bacon and cheese sandwich had the perfect balance of egg club sauce and creamy chili sauce giving it such a great memorable flavor. I absolutely loved the creamy chili sauce, it had the right amount of kick. The Japanese bread was so soft, buttered nicely on each side. Japanese bread is clearly superior to other forms of bread. As for the BLT sandwich, the bacon was perfectly cooked and the addition of tomato and lettuce made it more of a lunch sandwich. I highly recommended this restaurant, whether it is for breakfast or lunch, it is elevated fast food that’ll make you want to come back for more, daily. It is unfortunate there isn’t a store in the Philadelphia area, because it would be a huge...

First of all, these did not look as pretty or filled up as the images advertised online and especially paying $10 each per sandwich which literally consisted of bread, egg, bacon/sausage, it was definitely NOT worth it! Not only were these sandwiches lack-luster, they were also very flavorless, and greasy which caused my friend and I to have stomach issues shortly after.
On my sandwich, the man asked me if I would like hollandaise sauce or house sauce...he ends up putting a sweet chilli sauce (which was overtly sweet by the way) which were none of those options he gave me. I'm not sure, why its that hard to get one thing right, especially since I didn't even make adjustments to my order. The sauce did NOTHING for my sandwich as well.
My friends sandwich wasn't any better, her bread was burnt and that ruined the taste of the entire sandwich. To make matters worse, we drove almost an hour out to get these 'talked about sandwiches'. I have tried a couple of breakfast sandwiches in the city, and this is not it!! Not only was the food disappointing, the service-though they were quick, were not efficient as they got the orders incorrect. I had high hopes coming here as this was one place I have always wanted to check out, but sad to say... another one bites the dust. Just another one of those overhyped Tik Tok promoted restaurants. You can definitely get better elsewhere!!! Thoroughly...

I had the bacon & cheese and loved it. The sandwich is rich. The egg is fluffy, the sauce is creamy, and bacon perfectly cooked to be the slightly chewy level I like.
First time I went to the store the cashier kept interrupting her taking of my order to deal with a previous customer whose payment didn’t go through. The back and forth was annoying and took over 5 minutes. She should have just dealt with previous customer completely then me instead of the back and forth. Good service would have been getting my order started to be made so I didn’t have to wait even longer because of her back and forth. Once I paid I had to wait another 20 minutes for my food to be ready. At some points the number of people waiting for their order inside the small space got uncomfortable.
I decided to give them another chance and ordered via Ritual at 1:30 thinking it’s a non-peak time since it wasn’t breakfast time that will save me from having to wait. Wrong! They still took 35 minutes!!! They need to seriously improve their production line. How does it take 5-6 employees 35 minutes to make a sandwich? Not worth the...
