Figs serves breakfast the way it should be--big plates, done right. The eggs Benedict come with a lemon-forward hollandaise that cuts through the richness without drowning the dish. Hash browns and home fries hit the table crisp and hot. The neighborhood's a little rough, but inside you'll find a warm crew. Staff are quick with a smile, and the owner sets the tone. I even watched them bring food to someone living on the street outside. That tells you everything you need to know. If you're hungry and want breakfast that actually fills you up, Figs is worth the trip. read more

Great affordable brunch spot on the east end! The portions were huge. The eggs Benedict came with three eggs instead of the usual two, and it included hash browns and shredded potato patties! Servers were nice and efficient, they came around with free coffee refills. Our food came very quickly which was appreciated! I got the classic eggs Benedict with coffee. They accept cash or debit only. read more

Not cool adding an automatic tip with a table of 2 people without letting people now and yes it may state so in the menu but who reads the small print. I will not be going back. read more

CHOOSE ANOTHER PLACE DON'T RECOMMEND!. Two friends and I went to this place and we left very disappointed with the service. When we asked for the bill to be split in 3 people what is completely normal in all restaurants anywhere, for our surprise a very rude guy I don't know if he is the manager or waiter arrogantly he told that they do not split the bills because they waste time doing that service and if I was not happy I could choose another place.. I told him that it was wrong and at the end one of us needed to pay for the full bill and then we needed to manage by ourselves the money situation. I will never come back to this place and do not recommend. read more

Food: Good. But Nothing can be substituted. And they serve both hash browns AND breakfast potatoes with your meal, taking up half the plate. The eggs Benedict serving is HUGE - 3 English muffin halves! And they have fresh squeezed OJ. Yum! Service: Our server was very friendly and helpful. They were good about clearing out plates. Ambiance: Seating is tight. There is a table right upon entering. Five of us to a table was almost not enough room for our plates. Overstock of beverages are stored right next to us under the shelf of utensils. read more

Loved this breakfast place during my visit to Toronto. staff were very friendly! food was excellent too with big portions. definitely try the pancakes and peameal bacon. you may have to wait as it got popular on the weekend. read more

I was searching for a meal with 'figs' as an ingredient but I sknr think the menu had (they're pretty tasty). But our group of six had the place virtually to ourselves on the weekday we came. For about $10 to $13 average a plate for breakfast, you get a reasonable breakfast with coffee being an addition $2.00. This is a good spot at Queen and Parliament with wholesome views if if the scenery and a oasis from the lovely aromas from that street corner. So I had the English, which had grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and canned beans. So I guess the English was the beans? But some good frejdnly service, very patient as they had to wait for some extra folks to come, and a good family joint. The breakfast was ok, the typical fare, but really I would think you would come in for some good ambiance and an escape from the gentrification outside. So if you have twenty burning through your pocket, a crumpled newspaper and a hankering for some canned beans and some tasty potatoes, give them a try. I'll try a Benny next time -Zuk read more

Was looking for a quick breakfast in the area. Was a bit hesitant with location and the 3.5 overall rating. Don't really get it, the food was on point, everything cooked as requested. Good sized portions, reasonably priced, the service was fast and friendly. If around there I'll be back. Definitely recommend! read more

It was a very okay experience. I found a hair in my food before I started eating it so they remade the waffle. Overall the potato pancakes were a bit sweet to me but my boyfriend liked them. The waffle was a bit soft again just a personal preference I prefer crunchy waffles. The interior gave a cute diner vibe which I really liked. I tend to judge places based on whether I get a lemon with my water if I ask for it lemon: never got one read more

They have such Friendly staff and tasty dishes! Would like to try this place again and again :)

I arrived alone at 9am. The place was 2/3 empty. I asked for a table for 2 and was told guests were only seated when the entire party was present. I pointed out the large number of empty tables. The host grudgingly sat me. I asked if he thought this was LA where I've had the same experience. I was asked to leave. And did, willingly, never to return. I should have asked for a table for one and then acted surprised when a friends joined me. read more

This place had nice serving sizes!!! It's not often you find a place that gives you three eggs instead of two for the eggs benedict! The eggs were cooked well, and I appreciated that they gave both hash and potatoes. I found the hollaindase sauce too sour for my liking though It's a pretty small restaurant so don't go with big groups. Pretty good service, but a waitress randomly took the ketchup off my table as she was walking by even though we weren't finished eating yet??? I was shocked tbh but maybe she did it on auto pilot read more

Wow, these reviews! Can't believe they're not at least a 4 on here. Where to begin on how excellent their eggs Benedict are... The spinach, feta, tomatoes trio in the Florentine style is delectable. The fresh juice is great too (a little expensive). read more

Was great for an early breakfast during the week. Food was fresh and seasoned well. Server was extremely kind and helpful.

Service was great but the food was mediocre. Plates were sloppy and not very tasty. It is a quiet, small place.

I've been living in Toronto for 3 years and this is hands down my favourite brunch place! It's a small place but I've always had friendly and fast service. The prices are great for the great quality of food. Delicious!!!!! During Covid their takeout has been seamless but I'm so happy to be back to dining in. A definite must try! read more

Figs Breakfast & Lunch - French toast, everything breakfast. WORTH EVERY PENNY - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Another fantastic late brunch experience at Figs! Our bill for two only came to $28 pre-tip. No wait at the door on a Sunday at 1:30PM, amazing. The Greek yogurt is great - it is unflavored and very authentically creamy and thick rather than runny, which sometimes is the case if too much sugar or other ingredients are added. The portion size was pretty large - we shared it between the 2 of us. The fruit add-on was a bit underwhelming - just a tiny cup of mostly melon fruits, but also one grape, a few pineapple slices, a grapefruit slice, and half a strawberry. The veggie omelette was thick, large, and very healthy - no cheese and lots of veggies! However it was really bland, but no big deal since you can always season it yourself with condiments and mustard, ketchup, etc. It comes with fried potato chunks, a potato hash, and 2 slices of toast (ask for whole wheat!). Note- the bread is buttered by default, so request for plain if you don't want butter. The grilled vegetarian sandwich was very large and pretty, but was very runny. It does not contain egg or cheese I believe, but comes on a baguette, so not vegan? Partner described it to taste like stir-fry. Will be back! read more

We decided to go back because 4 years ago or 5 we hd a brunch there outstanding. We had again eggs Benedict's: cooked well, bread fine but sauce acid not the same taste and savour and consistency. Disappointing. Also not the same charm and atmosphere. Plus no credit card or international debit card accepted. We will not go back. read more

The food and service were amazing! The food for all 5 in our group came out quickly and the portions were large. Most importantly, everything was cooked JUST PERFECTLY! Everything was hot and fresh-- the hashbrowns were steaming and the potatoes were crispy on the outside but buttery soft inside, the bacon was crispy, and the pancakes had the perfect consistency! We were sitting right next to the kitchen, and you could see that the chef knew exactly what he was doing and was so good at multitasking and doing everything with care and precision. You could really tell he takes pride in his work. He really made it look like an art. The menu had diverse combinations. The place also felt very clean and well kept. Our server was attentive and professional. We were so surprised that this only had 3.5 stars. It definitely deserves to have 5 all around! If we lived around here we would be here every weekend! read more

I have to say that the service at this place has gone up in the last few years. They've hired some nice waitresses that are polite and accommodating. A few years back, I used to really dislike the waitresses who would rudely usher us to our seats and always seemed to be in a rush. I would say Figs is comparable to Cora's minus the lavish amounts of fruits on the plate. Their benedict is good along with everything else on the menu. I like to mix it up whenever I'm here and I feel confident about ordering everything from the pancakes to the latkas to the standard two egg breakfast. I like going here, but I'm never really super comfortable here because of their wobbly chairs and tables and often being squished in an uncomfortable spot or being too close to the door on a really cold day. I still keep coming because it's close to me and the food is consistent. read more

Figs is a small, quintessential brunch joint with friendly and attentive service and solid menu choices. There are healthier options like salmon and avocado but I went for the "big breakfast"; really can't go wrong with a classic. The only two downsides are that the front door brings a lot of draft in, and there's not a good area for people to wait which crowds customers eating near the door. Also, no booze!! Wanted a mimosa but sadly, no liquor. But, you get 1 coffee refill, and good menu selection. Would come here again! read more

Figs Breakfast & Lunch - Big breakfast with poached egg and french toast- looks delicious!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Terrible service, staff are not welcoming, friendly or tuned into orders. I was a party of two and they got both orders wrong, and they were arguing with us afterwards as to who is right; almost telling us we don't remember what we ordered ! They also refuse to give you water without charging for it, trying to force you to order coffee or juice. Found the servers very disrespectful. When we got the food, it wasn't so bad, simple diner portions and was decent. At least the back kitchen is competent, too bad the front staff doesn't know their own menu or how to treat customers. Cannot recommend. read more

I came here with my friends for brunch and I was very pleasantly surprised! We didn't plan to come here, but when all of the other brunch spots were full we came here last minute after finding it on yelp. The royal eggs benedict was delicious and very filling, and the potato pancakes/hashbrown on the side was sooooo good. Definitely check this place out, you won't be disappointed at all! read more

Figs Breakfast & Lunch - Royal eggs benedict with french toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I have mixed feelings about this place. I think info in most reviews about that non existent service or the owner is correct. Service is one point Im going to touch on. As well food and the decor/tables The food, I had the full breakfast with fresh toast, the first thing that was odd was there was no regular toast included, if i had know that (or i should read menu better) I probably wont have gone with over easy. I later inquired about this and it doesnt because it includes french toast, pancake or waffles (cant dip those into my eggs but whatever) which mean I should have read the menu and not relied on my past experience with most breakfast meals that do. On to the eggs, despite no toast the eggs were cook well, could use salt but i add that after and pepper. The yolk was nice and runny like i like with eggs, the potatoes both the fries and hash were good. The hash was probably the star. Nothing to stellar about the sausage or bacon What was really a let down was the french toast, not only did i have little cup of syrup.(getting more was extra) but i couldnt use it full to drown out the odd taste, i think the cinnamon over powered things and there was a fruit taste to it that i didnt like. Turns out it was orange juice add to it which was terrible and bad choice. I might eat here again (probably not) but not the french, toast, waffle or pancake since that orange juice is add, and i dont want mention not to add it.... Owner does lack customer service skill as I read, so bringing the up will just cause problems Service seem almost none existant, seem a bit awkward, thou the place seem to have a fair bit of regulars and those were more attended too which happens but shouldn't. There are issue with owner as others have mentioned, its good i didnt deal with her too much Probably one of main concern was the state of the tables and the restaurant. For one I noticed there is no constant note, some table had this glass on it other didn't, mind did and it really didnt help their case, it was dirty, not wiped properly which isnt nice to look at not to mention, it was chipped. That just a hazard, I moved to another table because the glass but the other table was in same shape of disrepair, it like they dont maintain their restuant and it look terrible, you have random broken things like the window i was by had the tiles broken too, I dont know why the owner doesnt pay attention to the condition of their restaurant . This isnt something I usually comment on but it bother me that much. The eggs and the hash were good but there are too many issue with this place to warrent more then 2 or even a return visit. This place is overrated and doesnt deserve it's 4 star read more

Figs Breakfast & Lunch - Variety breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

One thing I struggle with while in Toronto is getting an early breakfast on Sunday's, and that very dilemma lead me to Figs Breakfast & Lunch for the very first time this morning. We made the 15 minute walk here this morning in hopes of finding a new favourite breakfast spot. We came here around 9am and the place was pretty empty so we were seated right away. Our waitress was friendly and was quick to take our orders and get us some water. I ended up ordering some chocolate chip pancakes (which I'll pretty much order every single time it's an option). The food only took 10 or so minutes to come out and maybe another 10 to of magically disappear from my plate. The pancakes were pretty average chocolate chip pancakes, they were not fantastic, but they were also not bad, they were just good basic pancakes. I have nothing bad to say about Figs, but for me it was just a basic breakfast experience that has left no lasting impression on me, but if you are in the area, it's worth trying. read more

I ended up here because its one of the few breakfast spots that open early on Sunday's. The place is small and location on a side street off of Queen east. I got potato pancakes and they were real so so. They had an odd sweet flavor to them that didn't really go. Overall the food was alright, and I'm delighted by their hours. read more

There isn't much to say about the interior and the decor because it's just an old looking restaurant with outdated furniture but the food (brunch) is very good especially for the price. The waitresses we got were also very courteous and friendly and had a smile on their faces at all times. This place could do so much better with some renovations and nicer furniture but even without that, I'd still be back! *would give it 4.5 stars if I could! read more

Figs is a great breakfast/lunch spot. Eggs Benedict is my go to most of the time. It's always spot on. I have two complaints 1)You only get one refill on coffee and the cups are small 2) The restaurant is small and cramped. Most of the time I am by myself and am forced to sit right in front of the door which can make for a cold uncomfortable visit. It would be great if the could take over the crappy convenience store next door and expand the restaurant a little bit. read more

Absolutely love this place! Went there for the first time this past weekend and had an amazing brunch. I hesitated about writing this review because I didn't want this gem to become mainstream but they clearly deserve 5 stars and a stellar review. Found an affordable brunch spot downtown that isn't crawling with people Great food, great price and great owners! To paraphrase the owner's son "all these brunch places try to put a spin on classic brunch recipes like eggs bennys, but here when you order an egg benny you get an egg benny" read more

Figs Breakfast & Lunch - Pre-covid meal! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The food was quite tasty. That said, the wait was ghastly. My reviews tend to be now done in the following format. W=worth A-Ambiance R-Returnability. W: the food was slightly overpriced comparative to their competitors. The fare, while average, wasn't nessicarily generous in helping. Also the $2.00 coffee with only one refill was a bit of a joke. (Mug size was akin to my 90 year old grandmother) A: I didn't check out their washroom. Sorry, I can't speak to that. The joint is pleasantly coloured, although very noisy. The cleanliness is passable. The staff where very pleasant and the overall experience was of a family business. Quaint. R: sadly this place doesn't have the chops to keep up with their competitors... 50/50 if a return is in order. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday! We ordered the California Eggs Benedict and the Hash. Here you get 3 eggs instead of the usual 2 for eggs benedict. It was good except the avocado wasn't ripe yet so it was kind of hard to eat! It came with fruit though so that's always a plus! :) The hash was also really good! Overall a good solid brunch spot :). read more

Figs Breakfast & Lunch - California Eggs benedict! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Tried this place for breakfast on my most recent visit to Toronto. No frills decor but still cozy, service was friendly and quick. The food is good at a decent price. I had the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon dill and spinach (I added avocado), generous portion size and the food was fresh and well cooked. The location is a bit small and tight so when people are waiting for tables they crowd around the tables closest to the door which is a little uncomfortable but it's clean with open kitchen also super clean and lots of seating. The servers were friendly and efficient but the lady who took my payment was super unpleasant and couldn't even be bothered to say hi or bye or crack a smile. That being said while this didn't blow me away, it was a good breakfast experience all in all and with a few improvements this place can definitely up their star rating on yelp. I wouldn't be opposed to going back there if I'm in the area in need of brunch. read more

I would put this at a 2.5 star rating. It seems like a popular spot on a Sunday if you're looking to brunch in Cabbagetown so be prepared to face a line if you get there during the primetime brunching hours. The menu is large but it offers the regular fare for brunch that you would expect with no real frills. it's just simple and honest breakfast plates, eggs benedict, omelettes, and etc. I wasn't overly impressed but it is as advertised. read more
