    One of THE best spots for breakfast in YYC. What you're looking at is the Honey Chili Chicken & Waffle ($24), Caramel Apple Pancakes ($21), and Vietnamese coffee ($6.9). Drinking Vietnamese coffee is a game changer. I thoroughly enjoyed it, super creamy and delicious. The chicken and waffle was easily some of the best food I've eaten in Calgary so far. It's a corn waffle and the chicken was marinated before fried. To add, there was a pickle slaw. PICKLE SLAW. I don't think I can eat regular coleslaw ever again, I'm converted. You can tell that everything is house made: the hollandaise, waffles, and chicken. My ONLY gripe was that this waffle wasn't as spicy as I expected. It was barely spicy. But wow was this savoury dish delicious. Now onto the best tasting dish ever. Brekkie's Caramel Apple Pancakes. This is the type of meal you eat on your death bed, it's that good. I'm talking THICK, fluffy buttermilk pancakes, house made apple pie filling, brown butter caramel custard, and not too sweet real whipped cream. If you eat anything in Calgary, let it be this dish. It had us scrapping the plate clean. Brekkie put a lot of Saskatchewan restaurants to shame with this one. If you plan on going, make a reservation. It fills up quite fast and parking can be atrocious.

    We were in Calgary and Banff for 10 days and of all the breakfast places we went, brekkie was the best! Every single dish we ordered was on point. The Old School had wonderful sourdough and a nice side salad, the Apricot Almond Toast was delicious, my daughter had the French toast and loved it, and the absolute best dish was a special monthly feature of Peach Pancakes. The peach pancakes were really amazing, it was very thick pancakes with the sides slightly crispy, meanwhile the inside of the pancake was like a delicious bread pudding. It was breakfast perfection. Coffee, service, and cleanliness were also great. We did have to wait around 15-20 minutes for a table, but they had a good waitlist system.

    The prices are way too high for breakfast food. My mom had the Saskatoonbeery pancakes. $26.50 for pancakes! And my short rib dish had barely any meat

    Chocolate hazelnut pancake - not super sweet, absolutely delicious with lots of pieces of hazelnut!

    Came back again during the Christmas holidays and it was just as good as the first time! The wait time was still reasonable considering all the big groups and busy season. We got seated as soon as they could. Food was just as delicious as the first time. We had a kid with us this time; their kids menu is so affordable, well thought out with some really good choices that an adult would love but with sprinkles and boba that will have kids excited too! Happy to have this place for brunch that's close to me and can't wait to keep bringing new people with me!

    Creamy Lobster Newburg Benny

    For our last meal in Canada, my cousin and I headed to this place due to their raving reviews, and this one is just gonna add on to it! This place is in west Calgary and maybe a 25 min drive from the airport. There is a pretty spacious parking lot available, so we didn't have any trouble finding a spot. We walked in and were seated immediately with no reservations even when it was pretty packed with a good amount of people. Although this didn't impede on the service since we were also greeted and given waters pretty quickly as well. The atmosphere is so relaxing with cute decor and large windows to let that natural light shine through. They also have a good amount of plants around, and it was so aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Their menu has a good variety of dishes to choose from, ranging from something savory like a short rib poutine to something sweet and light like a peach Bellini bowl. I decided on something more savory choosing the creamy lobster newborn benny, while my cousin got the brekkie toast for something more traditional. I also got a chai tea on the side, and it hit the spot, warming me right on up! The lobster benny was SO good! It was served on a puff pastry, so the butter paired with the creaminess of the sherry sauce and hollandaise. Chef's kiss! Would definitely recommend that for those who want something filling. If you've got time to head out here, def do! If you don't, make the time cause it is worth it.

    Fried egg sammie

    My husband and I had an amazing brunch here! We got the fried egg sammie, ranchers brekkie and the lemon raspberry pancakes. The lemon raspberry pancakes were the best pancakes I've ever had. The outside was crispy but the inside was fluffy - absolutely magical!! Also loved the cereal crumble on it The fried egg sammie was so good. I'm a huge fan of breakfast sandwiches, especially w a brioche bun!! I got mine w bacon and it was very tasty. My husband got the ranchers brekkie and the braised beef was pretty good! We didn't have a reservation but I think we came right after the morning rush on a weekday and got seated right away. I would highly recommend this place for brunch! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here :)

    Brunch pancakes are the best - with lavender and berry compote/sauce... Yums!!!! I was looking for a brunch place and this was it! They had the usually waffles and sausages and the avocado toast. This place was packed! So make sure that you've either made a reservation in advance or you come here early so you can dine in. We had to sit on the window side because all the tables were full. Cheers!

    Waiting to be seated!

    Yes 5 star for an awesome brunch spot in Calgary .. we were visiting for one night and wanted to check this place based on menu and review! It sure didn't disappoint! Seated fast although we had no reservations, super friendly staff, and an amazing food.. everything we ordered was top notch! And the coffee was so good that I ordered delivery to Ottawa when I came back from the trip!

    This place is EXCELLENT! So so so good! One of my new favorite Breakfast restaurants in Calgary. Just wish it wasn't so far! lol. I ordered the Duck Confit benny and it was perfect. The duck was tasty, the eggs were perfectly cooked and the Chinese style corn bread waffle on the bottom was so satisfying with when you ask for a side of maple syrup. I also ordered their YYC Pina colada hot chocolate they made for the YYC Hot Chocolate Festival. I have tried 5 hot chocolates this month and Brekkie is my favorite... my only issue was the price. $9 for a hot chocolate is quite steep. My husband ordered the Ranchman's breakfast and really enjoyed it too. Definitely recommend this place if you want a good brunch!

    A VERY special and LOUD shout out to hostess Phoebe for making my birthday EXTRA happy this past…read moreSaturday. Kind, well-spoken, gentle, efficient, always a smile on her face and she went above and beyond. I had a 12:15 pm reservation. Unfortunately a group was taking much longer than expected. I waited over 30+ mins to be seated and so yes, I could've made a scene, but that wouldn't be me. Phoebe could've just let things be ... you know? Because "it is what it is". But she didn't. Once she seated me and my friend, she offered to take photos for me and of me. SO thoughtful! She also brought me a beautiful ice cream with a sparkling candle in it. SO sweet! She smiled at me every time she walked by almost as a way to make sure I was doing OK and feeling good. She was WAY more attentive than our female server who looked, sounded and acted like she couldn't leave work soon enough. Wasn't going to let her dampen my birthday though... Food tasted good. Presentation was beautiful. The male server who took over was SUPERB. Genuinely happy to "close out" our transaction with him. He was super attentive and willing to make everything go well. Thank you, Phoebe and male server for making my birthday memorable. XO

You only have about 5 or 6 spaces since it seems like the rest of the spaces have a "no parking" sign in front of each space... wtf... The place was nicely decorated and quaint. Loved the vibe. We walked in at 8am, opening time, and there were two parties sitting already. We got seated and looked at the menu. Our waitress was very friendly and mentioned that the Queens Breakfast, and the Montreal Smoked Brisket were the popular dishes. I decided on the Omelette Al Tartufo and my wife decided on the Montreal Smoked Brisket with Poached Egg. The Omelette Al Tartufo was good. Had a good earthy taste of the truffle. They had truffle paste so a hint of real truffle was there. There was a bit of melted cheese in there but there was a good balance. My wife had the Montreal Smoked meat with poached egg, which was also good. Pastrami-like protein with a poached egg, presented in a croissant. Very good, but very filling. Eat this, and you won't be having lunch! All in all, good food, and good service.

We were shocked to find another couple sitting at our reserved table--frankly, I hadn't anticipated it would be a shared table for eight in the first place. To make matters worse, we were rushed to order and pay the bill. After that couple left, another pair were seated at our six-person table without any explanation. Our dishes arrived in two separate waves with a 10-minute gap. They also automatically added an 18% tip for parties of more than five people, which I expect at least we should have a private table. When I expressed my dissatisfaction to the server, the owner came out and became confrontational and aggressive. He raised his voice, saying I could "tell him what I am not satisfied with." Then he offered a refund, which I immediately declined, and afterward snatched a package of coffee from the counter and offered it as compensation. I refused again--it felt more like an insult than a genuine apology. After we posted our reviews, the owner privately messaged my friend, asking us to remove them and citing the "small Chinese community" as a reason we should support each other. That's incredibly manipulative. Using community guilt to pressure customers into deleting honest feedback is inappropriate and only reinforces our negative experience. I will not be returning.

By the time it arrived, everything was stone cold. The cheese was literally hard from melting and then going cold, the potatoes were undercooked and raw, and the entire meal was completely inedible. Spending $35 on food that went straight in the garbage is beyond frustrating, it's infuriating. And the $5 "seasonal fruit bowl" looked like someone's picked-over leftovers. A couple random pieces tossed in a container and sent out like that's acceptable? It's honestly disgusting and shows a complete lack of quality control. At this point, I would've been better off ordering McDonald's for a third of the price, because at least it would've shown up hot and edible.
