Rosemary & Thyme — Restaurant in Toronto

So my husband and I live close by the area so we were trying to look for a diner that’s local so we’re able to go at least three times a week and enjoy a nice breakfast without having to drive so far away we’ve been to this location a few times already not more than five times today we had visited and it was a very bad experience and it made me not want to go back because of the recourse or shall I say the lack of the records after bringing two attention to the waitress a few things so first of all I took the liberty of attaching pictures to support what I’m saying I was having my coffee and halfway through my coffee I found pink lipstick stain on my coffee cup exactly where I was putting my own lips position I felt so disgusted I couldn’t even finish my coffee when I brought this to her attention she just apologized she did not offer another cop or another solution or take it off the bill as I did not enjoy my cup . Second issue was we went in at about 1 o’clock for the all day breakfast if it’s after 10 AM it should be 11.95 not 9.95 which is understood because we are after early bird timing but it lists under the 11.95 it should include three eggs choice of bacon or sausage and home fries and right beside the same sentence beside home fries it says coffee next to that whole sentence of offering it says $11.95 when the bill came we were charged 2.95 cent each for both of our drinks when we brought this to her attention she said coffee is not included on the weekends and I explain to her that today was Monday and she kept flipping through the pages trying to justify her self on top of everything she was not paying attention to bring the table water I found myself three times throughout my meal trying to wave my hands trying to get a hold of her and the police only had four tables taken with two waitresses the other waitress was only catering to her own tables. Receipts and dirty cop with lipstick stain on it is below and to end this all with a big bang when I asked her for the machine she brought the machine put it on the table in front of me and did not even enter the amount what was on the receipt she left all that for me to do to have to enter what recourse should be taken on the machine and what the amount is to be paid for IF U DONT WANT TO WORK STAY HOME MANY ARE LOOKING FOR JOBS AND...

🥞 If you love American sized portions and high calorie food, this is the place for you!

The waitress was very courteous even though we were a little awkward, we hadn’t dined in for many months before this point.

I had the Breakfast Poutine and I personally enjoyed it but… I have mixed feelings about it.

-It was prepared well, my poached eggs were just like I asked.

-The potatoes were soft and easy to eat. Usually I find potatoes are too dry for my liking or over seasoned, but not the case here.

-The meats were cooked perfectly, bacon was nice and crisp.

Now the things I wasn’t so sure about:

-Hollandaise sauce had a processed quality to it, kind of like how Kraft singles aren’t cheddar but it’s still “cheese”. I’m not upset about that honestly (I liked it a lot).

-There was a TON of oil at the bottom of my plate. I’m going to guess some sort of seed based vegetable oil? Fairly neutral taste with a vague nuttiness. The mouthfeel for an oil wasn’t terrible, but it was still too much is all.

It’s tough for me to recommend this place to everyone.

⛔️If you’re trying to lose weight and struggle with self control or have an Eating Disorder, I would advice caution. I’m never going to trust myself alone here without a trusted buddy to keep me in check haha

▪️The sweet selections all sounded too heavy for me to eat more then a few bites of and I’m not a huge leftover person for sweets. Oreo pancakes, Cheesecake French toast or pancakes, Cinnamon Roll pancakes with cream cheese icing to name a few. I don’t even want to know how much insulin my body would have to make for me to be able to eat any of that haha

👀 I’d like to see significantly less oil and healthier options but I’m skeptical that’ll happen. If you look around while you’re there you’ll get an idea of what demographic they appeal to. If I was going to be a regular here, I would exercise hard...

This place has been on my list for quite some time now, and I’m really glad I got to try it out!

Rosemary & Thyme is a local diner that is very comforting. The food here is great and the inside is very no-frills. Nothing like your higher end brunch places that you can find around.

Although they are on the pricier side, the servings are very big and will definitely leave you feeling full. I wish we got to try more but with the dishes we got, everything was fantastic 👌

Breakfast Poutine 9/10: this dish was very filling and doesn’t make you feel heavy or greasy after. It’s packed with veggies, meat, cheese, and served with poached eggs on top! If you’re interested in something like this, I would highly recommend trying it from here.

Club Sandwich 7/10: the sandwich was good but nothing special - i like how they serve the mayo on the side. I’d opt getting something else instead of their sandwich as their breakfast options seem to be the star of the show.

Banana Blitz Pancakes 10/10: these are some of the best pancakes i’ve had, and they were packed with so many different ingredients. The pancakes were thick and fluffy, and didn’t make you feel heavy afterwards. We asked to switch the cream cheese icing to nutella and it was soooooo good. Highly recommend trying any of their pancakes here.

Overall, Rosemary & Thyme is a great place to check out for their breakfast items and definitely deserves the hype. Make sure you catch them at a good time because there will definitely be a line 🙂
