    Masa Deli located at the corner of Queen St. E. and Verral Ave (near Carlaw) in Leslieville serves up delicious brunch in a casual space. This is actually their second location (first one in the West end along Dovercourt near Hallam). The menu has both breakfast and lunch options including their delicious breakfast sandwiches. There are also espresso based drinks as well as freshly squeezed tangerine juice. I've been to Masa Deli's West end shop along Dovercourt several times and always have loved their breakfast sandwiches. This is my first time at their East end shop and the vibes here are on point! The space is small but casual with seating for about 18 customers. You order at the counter where you are given a number after ordering (regardless of whether you dine in or want take out). Washrooms are not accessible where you do have to navigate a flight of stairs. I opted to grab a sausage and egg breakfast sandwich (chicken sausage, chive omelette, white cheddar, pickles, aioli, salsa, English muffin) as well as a freshly squeezed tangerine juice. Food came in about 5 min. I've had their breakfast sandwiches before at their other location so I knew it would be super tasty (and it was!). I definitely enjoyed the sandwich and my freshly squeezed juice. Service was friendly and vibes were chill. It's a spot where you can grab a quick breakfast or stay for a bit longer to chat with friends (as long as people aren't waiting for seats!). Overall, love the breakfast sandwiches at Masa Deli, definitely one of my favourites in the city. Will definitely return for more in the future (whether it be at this location or their other location)!

    Chorizo burrito

    I came here on a Saturday at around 1 PM, in early January and there were quite a few tables still available for seating. This place is a order at the counter spot so after we took our seats and decided what we wanted I went up to order. They also have water and cups available at the order counter. The place was bright and looked clean and had a cute diner aesthetic. The service was pretty quick because our order came out relatively fast despite other reviews I saw. The sausage and egg breakfast sandwich was good, but the chorizo burrito was way better. The sandwiches didn't really leave an impression on me though, but it's worth trying at least once. The horchatta was slightly lacking in flavour and sweetness. I was pretty disappointed as I had high hopes and was looking forward to it when I saw it on the menu.

    I'll admit it - A TikTok video was served to me and it enticed me to try the new Masa Deli location in Leslieville... but I don't regret it! I went on an early afternoon on a beautiful Saturday and as such, the lineup in front of the counter was absolutely enormous. I would strongly recommend that you go online and order for pick-up 30-45 minutes in advance to skip the line altogether. There aren't many tables in the restaurant, but there are lots of beautiful parks around the area, so I'd also recommend picking up the food to go and eating elsewhere. I tried the chicken chorizo burrito and a little bit of the sausage & egg breakfast sandwich with a side of the beef fat fries. The burrito and sandwiches were delicious. They were cooked perfectly and were super flavourful, but the portion was a little smaller than I would have hoped. The beef fat fries are good - they remind me of McDonald's fries, which is the highest compliment you can pay to a potato. I definitely recommend Masa Deli to those in the Leslieville area. If you order ahead and pick it up to eat outside on a nice day, you can't go wrong!

    I can see why so many people love this place - their sandwiches and burritos are really good. Stopped by and got: - Deli Burrito: This was outstanding. The pastrami was thinly sliced and tastily salty, the omelette was thick and milky, and the cheese was melted sticky. - Barbacoa Torta: While I preferred the burrito, this was also good. The beef was tender, the sandwich was properly soaked and sloppy. Portion size is a bit small for the price you pay. Place is mainly takeout but there are small tables and counter seats for dine-in. Service and vibe is friendly. Overall a great stop for a quick bite.

From the hostess to the waitstaff. All very polite and welcoming. We observed them with other guests and they seemed very patient with the loud kids...and adults to be fair. LOL We had the big skillet both days as well as the breakfast sandwich. While there were some variances, we enjoyed both experiences. The first visit was better in my opinion - the potatoes were tender and not overcooked and my fruit cup didn't have a lot of cantaloupe. I have shared pictures of the menu as well. We had sparkling water and diet cola both times. Our beverages never ran dry. There is an upstairs that overlooks the first floor dining area. We wondered if anyone had ever spilled a beverage that landed on guests below. We could definitely see the possibility of that happening. They also had a nice patio, however, on the hotter days, not sure how enjoyable the city smell would be while trying to eat. Interesting - they only had one bathroom. So we observed a line. And there are tables right next to the door. I would avoid those seats if possible. A little too close to the restroom in my opinion. If we are in the area again, we would definitely eat here again, although they may be at the new location if we visit in the future. I look forward to seeing the upgraded features at the new location.

Pierina guided us via phone and even came outside of the restaurant and waved as we approached. That was awesome Customer service as well as kindness. Ambiance was chill inside. Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

The almond croissant, when you're lucky enough to claim one before nine, delivers a genuinely impressive balance of shattering, buttery layers and a filling laced generously with almond cream, more Parisian in spirit than most bakeries attempting the same feat across this city. Even the raspberry version, when available, carries the same confident hand in the kitchen. The coffee program deserves equal praise. A well pulled latte and a properly balanced cappuccino suggest a team that treats espresso with the same seriousness as their pastry case, and it shows in the cup. Where the experience finds room to grow is in the choreography of the space itself. The room is petite, charming in its cobalt blue framed way, but the flow between ordering and pickup can feel cramped during a rush, and seating fills quickly. The patio, however, is a genuine reward, a shaded perch worth claiming on a slow afternoon. This is a cafe operating with real ambition and skill, let down only occasionally by its own popularity. Arrive early, claim a croissant while you still can, and settle onto the patio; you'll leave understanding exactly why regulars keep coming back.

    This is a rooftop restaurant located on the 44th floor of the Bisha Hotel in the Entertainment…read moreDistrict. Personally, I think it is the best rooftop view in Toronto. Food (3.5/5) - the menu is a combination of small and large plates ideal for sharing. A cosmopolitan menu of diverse items from many different cuisines. - Baja Caesar Salad - baby romaine, corn, caesar dressing, agave bacon, croutons, grana padano, chili spice. This was pretty good, romaine was fresh and sauce not too overpowering with a slight kick to it. - Coconut Shrimp with mango salsa, lime, chipotle aioli. Also pretty good... shrimp was cooked fine and the garnishes worked with it. - Tuna Ceviche with avocado, cilantro, corn, red onions, leche de tigre, cancha, plantain. This one was average. The sashimi chunks were pretty average and the overall mix seemed to lack flavour and moistness. - Hamachi Crudo with avocado, elderflower, pickled strawberry, jalapeño, pistachio, basil, olive oil. This was one pretty bad... some of the worst hamachi I have ever had! Overly fishy and off-colour. Service (4/5) - server and assistants were friendly and generally attentive. Some lapses in check ins from time to time. Rooftop is first come, first serve so a reservation does not mean you will be seated quickly and may have to hang out in the interior bar or tables until ready. Atmosphere (4.75/5) - you really cannot top the view from Kost. It has multiple look out areas besides the patio dining area by the infinity pool. They have a raised photo pedestal which is ideal to take pictures with the Tower, Rogers Centre and lake in the background. They also have some trendy couches and sitting areas as well. The interior dining area is also pretty good with window views outside and a California vibe to it. Overall (4/5) - Yes, the food is on the average side for the price. However, it really is a great atmosphere for dining, even if sitting inside. It is a bucket list destination at a minimum and worth a repeat imo.

We also happened to be in Toronto when the weather was sunny and beautiful, so that also helped make this a nice experience. The food was well priced and light. We were able to finish most of what we ordered. The potatoes were my favorite part of the eggs Benedict, which we could sub with avocado instead of meat to make it vegetarian. They definitely could've used some more seasoning. The pancakes were good with maple syrup- I think the fruit topping was delicious. The pancakes themselves were a little on the drier side but the fruit made them tastier. The ambiance and vibe of the restaurant definitely made the experience worth it.

The food didn't take too long to come out, and they looked even better in person than they did in the menu. Maybe I'm just a little over enthusiastic about these pancakes, but I can pretty confidently say these may of been the best pancakes I've ever had. They were big, fluffy, and this plate did not skimp on the toppings at all. Overall, Stacked Pancake & Breakfast has definitely become a go-to spot for me when returning to Toronto. The food here was phenomenal and even though it took us almost 30 minutes for someone to give us a bill and let us pay, the pancakes were too good for me to get hung up on that. If you need some breakfast in the Queen/Spadina area, this is the place to go!
