    Pancakes / $21
    Sarah P.

    I was in the area a decided to drop by for Saturday brunch. The restaurant was packed when I arrived, and I had to wait around 20 minutes before being seated. It should be noted that there's a 75 minute seating limit here. My partner and I ordered the Kerr Breakfast with Smoked Salmon, Pancakes, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Latte, and Matcha Latte, and loved every bite. The food were all beautifully presented, and delicious! The sticky toffee pudding stood out the most as melted in my mouth, and was probably the best I ever had. The restaurant itself has a lively ambiance, with modern decor, and is very family friendly. There's a small kids menu if you want to bring the little ones along. They also have a takeout counter if you just want to grab a coffee, or light bite to go. Both street parking and a paid parking lot are near by.

    I got the chance to come by this cafe. I came at a busy morning when the children was on their march break. I had to wait awhile to be seated but it was bearable. The atmosphere of this cafe is cute and cozy. This is my first cafe to visit in Oakville. It's great to eat with friends, family or with significant other. I got French toast and it was amazing! I wished I had some more strawberries. Regardless, everything tasted delicious!

    Solid brunch spot. Very busy, but the wait for a table seemed fairly quick. I enjoyed the food, but I wouldn't say anything was extraordinary or so different from other places. I would recommend this as a sure/safe place to go when you're hungry. Portions were also great for the price. I must say, I'm not a huge fan of cornbread, but the cornbread was done very well here - very moist and a good pairing with the other elements of the dish.

    Fantastic coffee and great spot for a casual breakfast or lunch. Local, organic foods curated with care! Menu does not change often. Smash burger is 10/10 Service had always been great! I have been going for years! Never disappoints.

    Kerr Street Breakfast

    Breakfast of the Week, right here in downtown Oakville, Ontario. Brunch is served every day until 3:00. The choices are creative and well executed. Starts with coffee from Brothers small batch roasters, and a well trained barista able to bring the most out of each concoction. My basic Java was rich and bracing with excellent aftertaste throughout the morning. My Kerr Street Breakfast was basic (2 sunny side ups, sourdough toast, fingerling home fries, roast tomato, vinaigrette greens), but worked so well together with texture and flavor supreme, and special mention for the taters which were best of breed. The optional berry jam sent the toast into orbit, and was the perfect foundation for the eggs to reach the mouth. Crunch! Ooze! Yum! Really loved every bite. The Frenchie looked a work of art, and must have been too good to share, because I wasn't offered a taste. Maybe because this was a business brunch and it might have seemed inappropriate. I can wait until next time. And, there will definitely be a next time for Kerr Street Cafe!

    Vegan Brekky Sandwich

    I came here for lunch on a weekday and was surprised at how busy it was inside! The interior is beautifully decorated and the energy is loud and lively on a busy day. They were very accommodating with me as I wanted enough space around me to get a bit of work done. The staff were all so friendly. I ordered the vegan brekky sandwich and a oat milk latte! The sandwich was tasty, I loved the beet hummus as it had such a nice flavour. I found that it was heavily topped with cilantro and dill though, so if you're not a fan of those I'd suggest to pick it off or ask them to exclude it. The bread is the really toasted crunchy kind - which I know some people love and some don't haha. The latte was great! Overall, beautiful atmosphere. I'd come back to try some more of their menu!

    I have always wanted to come here but they were only doing takeout during most of the pandemic so I'm really happy to see them opening up for brunch again. I visited a long time ago but really liked their menu. They don't do reservations so be ready to wait in line if you're planning to come during the weekends as they get BUSY! We sat outside initially but there were a lot of wasps on the patio and our server was nice to offer us a seat inside as she mentioned it might be a better idea if we planned to order the pancakes or mimosas, which was super nice of her. The drinks and food came out promptly and the presentation was absolutely stunning for the pancakes. We got three different things to try. Breakfast sandwich: 4/5 Typical sandwich. It tasted good but nothing really special, i do have to note that i really liked the tomato jam which had a spicy tang to it. Smaller than i thought. Side bacon had more oil than expected. Avocado toast: 4.5/5 Beautiful presentation. The pomegranate and sweet potatoes really bulked it up. Even though it was just a piece of toast, it's BIG and filly. The pomegranates gave it a sweet taste and really complimented the avocado. Staxx: 5/5 Presentation 10/10, taste was amazing. It's pretty big not gonna lie, we could finish it even though we all took bites of it. The blueberry jam wasn't too too sweet which i liked. The scoop of whipped butter i believe was amazing with the pancakes. The pancakes taste a little like blueberry scones but soft. Interesting taste, but a good kind of interesting. Would definitely get it again. Overall: Good food and good experience. Wish the breakfast sandwich was a little bigger but it was pretty cheap in comparison to others. Or have a side (side salad or fruit bowl) with the breakfast sandwich and up the price a little? At times, felt rushed by waitress, but she was nice, just asked for the bill as soon as we were done so that hiked down the rating a little. I understand though that it's a busy restaurant and they needed to turn tables but it was a Thursday and didn't look too too busy outside. Would definitely come back and try the burger because that looks pretty amazing.

We arrived around 11am on a long weekend and they had plenty of tables available, but by the time we were leaving, all the tables were full. You need to order your food first and get seated after. They bring your order to you, but if you need a coffee refill, or milk and cream, you need to pick them up yourself at the station. Coffee refill was a challenge for us, since we had to go through all other tables and wait for the staff to refill our coffee, and even there were times they were out of milk and had to drink our coffee black. We ordered "Key West Eggs", "Crepe au Fraises", "Slow Roasted Lamb" and "Canadian Peameal Back Bacon". Our food was delicious and we would love to go back and try more of their menu items. Just expecting delays for our coffee this time. Lol

    August 27/2025: Breakfast with Lindsay…read more Our server "McKayla" was very nice & polite. Food came to the table at a normal speed. I ordered the Steak/Mushroom "Angus Eggs Benedict" ($18.75) with an extra egg ($1.50). The Benny had a very unique flavour profile but it totally worked. The eggs were made to perfection (runny but not overly so) & the Angus portion had lots of onions. This was a delicious breakfast. I asked for the potatoes to be over fried & they were & equally as delicious. The only minor issue was the meal wasn't hot enough. Around the edges the food was even a bit cool. The men's washroom was well cared for, properly equipped & clean. In the dining area there was a small issue with house flies. This could EASILY move to a 5-star. Get rid of the flies & make the food hotter. Otherwise this was a positive dining experience. It's a do-over.

I asked our server, who assured us it was "on its way," but apparently it took a detour to another dimension because it never arrived. I finally had to track down someone else just to get the waffle made. By the time it showed up, the whole experience was pretty much toast. Funny enough, the only thing not pur or simple was the service.

    BEWARE: ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK…read more If my memory serves me well, this is the first time ever that I've given an establishment a 1 star rating ... and these are the reasons why: They were seriously understaffed in the kitchen - specially knowing that it was Mother's Day There were 4 of us and we chose to order one starter between us so that we could save our appetite for the mains The Bang Bang Broccoli took one hour to arrive... yes- ONE HOUR During this time we were told just how many cocktails would not be available because they were out of some ingredients ( and this was at 1:30pm on Mothers Day ) - but I must say they had water available and they served that at lightning speed Then 45 minutes after our appetizer arrived and after asking our server and anyone on the staff that we could speak to, one of the 4 mains arrived...which self respecting restaurant would: 1. Take so long to serve the food with any explanation whatsoever? 2. After such a delay, bring only one of the four dishes that were ordered? By this time we were ready to leave but eventually got the other 3 mains and had them packed and took them back home - since our daughter had to drive back to London to be there at 6pm - which she thought would give all of us enough and more time to have a nice leisurely lunch with a reservation for 1pm ... clearly Community Restaurant had other plans Now comes the kicker... as we were heading out I told one of the servers to please tell the owner that if this is how he/she runs a business it would shut down pretty quickly - to which she replies: You're right, this has been sold and will change hands in 2 weeks Good riddance And no thanks for upsetting my daughter who wanted to make the day special for her mother

Took a good while to make us sit in a half empty restaurant. The food came pretty quickly and service was just OK after that. The interior is nice. The coffee we started was very weak and lukewarm warm. We asked for a refill and the refill was the same as well. Hollandaise Benny was good, the Just egg perhaps cooked from the frozen ready was good. The Impossible/Beyond Sausage was good. The Hollandaise sauce was well made. Disappointed with the home fries quantity - very few. The Chik'n Burger made from Oyster Mushroom was very good. Crunchy outside and shredded mushroom to give a chicken texture. Just too greasy for us. Again the fries very few - the plate looks empty and not filling for us. IMO not good enough value for almost $25 all in. The Chik'n and Waffles, same Chik'n as the burger good. The 3 piece (?) waffles were great. The fries still less, however there some salad as well. Good restaurant, OK service. Food is OK, a bit pricey for what we got.

My limbs, hands, nose, etc. were ice cold 30min into our dining experience. I could have used a heated blanket or snow suit to dine this place. We brought it up to staff and they basically brushed it off and said they were hot so "too bad." Ordered oysters and they came out completely submerged underwater. No joke, my oysters were floating in a pool. I think they let them sit in the kitchen for a while before they came out. Considered asking for a fresh order (and they offered) but was worried they would just replate them. Asked for them to be removed from the bill. Not in any hurry to come back... like anytime in the next 8-10yrs. If there was a manger around (never saw one - bunch of kids working), maybe it would be better? Who is the adult in charge at this place? Don't waste your time or money. I hope I don't have the double dragon tonight when I get home.
