Toronto doesn't yet know how to brunch properly (go to Washington, D.C. to learn how it's done). That's why Mildred's makes you wait a while for a tiny menu and overpriced cocktails (and as someone who doesn't drink even I knew something was amiss). Trendy spot filled with Liberty Village denizens and hipsters. My table of very non-Liberty Village friends and I stopped by Mildred's for my birthday brunch. The pancakes are worth the order - but I had to ask for maple syrup before finishing my dish as the cakes got a little on the dry side. Good menu - hope they'll expand it by a few items to offer more variety during brunch. Is it worth the hype? Meh. It's a nice enough spot but not worth the 45min to 2-hour wait for such a small menu. Service was fantastic. Our server was attentive and friendly. Gold star for her. read more

This restaurant is rated 5 stars with good reviews. Paid a visit and put my name down for a table at about 11:50. I ended up waited for almost an hour. During the wait, the entrance of the restaurant did offer free watermelon and water for everyone and even water for dogs. After I was seated. The waitress came to greet me and my husband and introduced herself to us. I ordered a Big Brunch Skillet and a glass of Pink Mimosa. We planned to come for a brunch but we needed to wait again for another 45 minutes for the food to come. The brunch has become lunch. I figured that it's not only the problem at my table. The ladies sitting next to us also had the same problem and waited too long and so they filed a complaint. The waitress offered free biscuit and scone for those ladies but they didn't want the freebies but talked to the manager instead. Back to my order, Pink Mimosa is a beverage with grapefruit juice mixed with volka. To me it tasted like grapefruit juice mostly. I could hardly taste any alcohol in the beverage and yet the size of the beverage was small. It was a bit pricy for a flute glass of drink cost $11. The Big Brunch Skillet was not very BIG. It was a small size of iron pan with the bottom filled with pull-pork with black beans and there were two sunny side up eggs on top of the meat. Perhaps I was too hungry before I placed and order and didn't read the menu carefully. This dish was spicy. It would be better to have a roll to eat with. Well, if you don't mind the WAIT and like to eat downtown. The food is not too bad. read more

I made a trip all the way to Mildred's Temple on my birthday just for the pancakes. Honestly, the moment I walked in the place, and saw how nicely decorated it is (very modern, whites, greens, booths and chairs), I knew that the food must be good. I like how brightly lit the place is, tall windows and very chic, urban decor. There was upbeat music playing in the background, an open kitchen, which is really neat and snowflakes hanging from the ceiling! The washrooms are impressive as well. Clean with the same colour scheme, there are individual washrooms, not one big room with stalls. The staff is above and beyond friendly and helpful. We came here around 2:30pm, and we know the kitchen closes at 3 so we tried to hurry up, but they absolutely did not mind. They were so excited to tell you about the menu, make recommendations, and asked you what you wanted to drink or if you need anything. You don't even need to raise your hand for service, you can just look up, and someone will look right at you, happy to serve you. My friend an I both ordered the pancakes, and there were a LOT of pancakes. It was soo worth it. I think i was eating pancakes wrong my whole life. These pancakes was a cake that was pan fried. Not like the regular dense flat, non-airy pancakes we're used to. It was so fluffy and just the right amount of sweetness. There was syrup at the bottom and it was topped with A LOT of blueberries, and whipped cream. I am glad that they were wild blueberries and not the regular ones, because wild blueberries are sweeter and smaller. I tried my best to eat it all, no matter how hungry and good it was. I couldn't finish it. I brought them home, and they taste just as good the day after if you warm it up! I only wish that this place is closer to the heart of toronto, so i can visit it more often. But i don't mind making a trip just to come here. This restaurant is going on my list of favourite restaurants. 5/5 for decor and ambiance, impressive service, exceptional food and overall experience! This is the kind of restaurant that wouldn't mind paying $18 for pancakes. I am definitely coming back, either for the pancakes or something else on their menu. read more

I tried this place for brunch with my boyfriend while we were vacationing in Toronto. When we arrived, it was extremely full and the hostess told us that we would have to wait about 15 minutes, so we sat at the bar. Only a few minutes later, she sat us (yay!). We sat for a good 15 minutes until the server remembered about us. We could tell because we made eye contact with her right as she had an "oh sh**" look on her face. The food didn't take too long to come out. I got the Veda's choice with bacon and he ordered the blueberry pancakes. We really enjoyed the food, except the server did not check up on us to refill our water or ask us if we liked the food. Overall, I would recommend trying Mildred's at least once. The prices weren't too bad and the food was wonderful. If the service wasn't so terrible, I would've given five stars. read more

I visited Mildred's for the first time today. The wait was about 20-30 minutes at 9:45AM on a Saturday, but they can take down your phone number and text you. The service was polite and friendly, we didn't feel rushed at all. The environment was bright and pretty - also super large and the tables were well spaced out. Even though it was very busy, they clearly don't try to cram the place full with tables so you don't feel uncomfortable at all. It was great! I ordered 1 of the famous Mildred pancakes with all the toppings ($6 for just the one pancake, see my photo) and their take on an Eggs Benedict, which is two poached eggs in a croissant with Bernaise sauce and either smoked salmon or bacon ($15). I picked bacon. For an extra dollar, I did half Rosemary potatoes on the side and half mixed greens. For $1.50, you can get just potatoes and no greens - and for free, you just get the greens. I also got coffee, which was free flowing. Overall, I would say the food was absolutely perfect. This is rare for me. I'm extremely picky, especially when it comes to my favourite meal of the day - brunch. But I can't think of one thing I didn't like. The pancakes were somehow simultaneously dense and light/fluffy. The whipped cream on top was the best I've ever had and the portion of blueberry compote was perfect. They have these pancakes down to a science. They are PERFECT. If you aren't going to order the full sized meal of them, you have to at least get one. The eggs Benedict was delicious and though not your traditional Benny, I'd say it was one of the best I've ever had. The rosemary potatoes were to die for, and even something as average and boring as mixed greens tasted delicious. The server was helpful and friendly without being too overbearing, and was kind enough to give us his menu recommendations. He brought me coffee as soon as my cup was empty. Overall...just a perfect experience and despite the wait, I would go back in a heartbeat! I can also see why people do weddings here, as the space and atmosphere is very beautiful, modern and unique. read more

Hours before our flight, we were determined to stop by Mildred's before leaving. We were at the door when the opened. I feel in love with London Fogs in Toronto and theirs was the best I had. The blueberry compote over a stack of pancakes is a MUST. My burger was tender and flavorful with a colorful side salad. We ordered some house-cured salmon that was recommended by our waiter, thank you for that. read more

So I actually visited Mildred's Temple Kitchen a few years ago to try their much-lauded pancakes, and indeed, they are super delicious (and quite photo friendly). I attempted to return last summer, but the place was ridiculously packed. When my dining companion, desperate to try those pancakes, suggested a visit on a recent weekday, I jumped at the chance. We arrived around 1:00 and the place, predictably, was very crowded. And although the patio was a no-go, we quickly managed to secure a spot deep within the restaurant. We ordered our food and then waited. And waited some more. I should note, too, that I had a perfect view of the pass and noticed a plate of pancakes sitting there for a very, very long time. It was about 15 minutes between it being left there to the dish being served, which is nothing short of ludicrous. I was definitely relieved when it went to a different table. I did, however, notice a plate that looked suspiciously like what I had ordered sitting there for almost 10 minutes while my dining companion's pancakes were being prepared. And indeed, I did eventually receive that plate of food. (I was just thankful I didn't order anything that needed to be served hot.) Anyway, I wound up getting the Chicken Avocado Club ("grilled chicken breast sandwiched between two slices of toasted sourdough, slathered with bacon jam, avocado smash & garlic aioli, layered with fresh tomato & lettuce") with mixed greens. It's a decent sandwich. The huge chunks of chicken are a little dry, though, and they kept falling out of the sandwich because they're so big. The various condiments and accompaniments work pretty well together, although the entire bottom of the sandwich was pretty soggy (which was no doubt a result of it having sat there for way too long). I did try a few bites of my dining companion's pancakes and they were delicious as ever. It makes me wonder if the restaurant is even interested in putting the care they put into those Instagram-friendly 'cakes into the rest of their menu. read more

I love this brunch spot! You gotta try their pancakes and pink mimosas (made with fresh grapefruit juice). The decor and atmosphere was chilled and hippie. Service was attentive. Food was great. We order pancakes, huevo monty, veda's Choice and pink mimosas read more

Nifty place here if you're coming here for the first time hungry I'd say come earlier in the day, especially weekends. I got here around 1pm and the wait was 45mins to an hour. My group ordered food around 2pm and now it is 2:58pm and we finally got our food . I suggest coming here earlier in the day to be seated. Note: DO NOT seat yourself! Now let's talk about the food, I got the blueberry pancakes they are known for as well as a salmon sandwich. I preferred the sandwich over the pancakes. The pancakes had more of a biscuit-like texture and it wasn't as warm as it was. Worth the wait? I don't think so. read more

This was a really cute restaurant that my friend and I visited on an early Saturday morning. There was no wait at around 9:30AM, but the place was already getting quite busy. By the time we left the restaurant at 11, there was a long line of people waiting at the door for a table, so do try and go early if you can! They unfortunately do not take reservations :( As for the food, I ordered the Big Brunch Skillet that some people have said is a small portion size, but however left me feeling very full for the rest of the day. The pulled pork, bean and egg was a very good combination. However, in the menu, it said it includes potato hash, but really it is just a couple chucks of potato, not that hashbrown that I was more so expecting. Overall, it was a very unique brunch item that I have not seen anywhere else, and enjoyed very much, but was not 100% blown away by the quality of the food. I was getting dessert from another place after so I did not get to try their famous blueberry pancakes, but if I get the opportunity next time, I definitely would! Mildred's Temple Kitchen is a great place to talk, socialize and enjoy your morning. I would definitely recommend for the atmosphere, but the food has room for improvement. Taste: 3.5/5 Value: 4:5 Service: 4/5 read more

A top contender for the best breakfast/brunch spot in a massive city. If you want to be impressed, watch their open kitchen as they poach perfect eggs. Serve perfect french toast or really anything else on the menu. Awesome service! The only problem is that the place needs to be 5 times its size because there is always a lineup! I completely understand why! read more

Coming on a Friday lunch, the wait time was quite long still (30 mins for us). The host will take your name and info, and you would receive a text when your tables ready (if you're not waiting inside). Luckily the restaurant was very spacious and had ample seats for you to wait. Besides being very spacious, the restaurant is perfect for photos since it has a lot of huge windows which draws in natural light. Their brunch menu happens between 10a-3pm everyday. There are quite a good amount of selection to choose from, but we decided to go with their blueberry pancakes (one of their popular dishes and chicken avo club. Be warned though, the dishes do take some time to come out, maybe around 30 mins after we ordered. - Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes ($17): Wow, the stack of pancakes are pretty big, and it was definitely glazed with the perfect amount of whipped cream/ maple syrup and blueberries. They were very fluffy, and I love little crust on the button of each pancake. You can also order one pancake instead of the stack if you can't finish that many (I know I couldn't haha) - Chicken Avo Club ($16.5): The portions were very big for this dish as well. I loved how soft the bread was, and definitely wasn't too burnt at all. The chicken was nicely grilled, juicy and also thick pieces. It's nice to know they didn't cheap out on the ingredients. It comes with either salad, fries or you can choose both. Our servers were very friendly, and explained every bit of the menu as it was our first time. They were the ones that even informed us about ordering one pancake instead of the stack as it was not on the menu. They came to check on us, and even came to say thank you/goodbye when their shift was over. Loved the friendly staff, food and restaurant overall. Despite the long wait time, I was happy and left feeling very full & satisfied. Will be back again! read more

I was so disappointed in our to go order of the pancakes. They were dry and not very flavorful for about $20. I think they were expensive but maybe they would have been better if we ate them there. The hostess was very friendly and helpful preparing our to go order. read more

Came here for their famous blueberry pancakes and I was not disappointed. Although it comes with 3 pancakes, they're really filling and I barely finished mine. The pancakes are dense and fluffy at the same time, and the blueberry topping and fresh whipped cream compliment the pancakes very well and are not too sweet. The other menu items are a bit overpriced in my opinion, as we also got the big skillet to share which was not big at all. I'll definitely just stick to the pancakes next time! read more

THE PANCAKES ARE TO DIE FOR! No matter what I get at Mildred's you know I'm going to get a full stack of the blueberry pancakes as a "side dish". Came here a couple times, mostly for brunch and I'm always excited for the food to arrive. Not only is the food 5/5, the atmosphere is pleasant, the decor is beautiful, and the servers are always friendly and joking with us, which makes the experience even better. The only downside would be that because they are so popular, the wait time can be up to an hour so be prepared to wait (but it's definitely worth it). read more

Mildred's Temple Kitchen - Must get the pancakes! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place is gorgeous to look at from the inside. Kitchen can be seen on a slightly elevated 2nd tier/level (but no quite floor). This place is everything you've heard and read about. We came at around 11am and were told that it was going to be an hour and a half wait. The wait time was pretty accurate luckily there is a lot to do around the corner including banking, kitchen stuff plus and grocery stores (so errand-y stuff). The food was about what you expect from a brunch spot. It had it Benny like item, pancakes, heuvos, etc. We ordered the Veda's Choice and the featured special which was a Dutch pancake in a hot skillet, duck confit, some kinda of apple jam, two poached eggs and arugula salad around the bottom to round out the dish. I ate the Veda's choice, it was a croissant filled with two poached eggs, bacon (or smoked salmon if you want), bernaise sauce and an accompanying mixed green salad topped with pickled onion and shredded beet salad. The sandwich looks like it was a knife and fork job but it also looked solid enough to pick up by hand, so I did. It held up well the Benny is a weird sandwich to pick up I would not recommend it and my other dining companion did the knife and fork way and looked like she enjoyed it. I wouldn't write home to mom about this Benny but again like I said it's what you would expect from a hyped brunch space. The daily feature was okay. The presentation was great but the flavour became a little muddled together as you ate it. I thought it also ate a little sweet. Only the edges maintained their crispiness while the rest of the pancake ended up soggy due to the confit-ed duck. We added a plate of pancakes to finish off the meal as the portions didn't really fill most of the table. This is THE item to get. The pancakes are just perfectly made. It's light and crispy and not too sweet. GET THE PANCAKES!! The service is speedy and very welcoming. I would definitely come back for the experience with the food being the accompaniment unless it's the pancakes. read more

Can I just say amaaaaazing pancakes? I mean, came here for b'lunch (which by the way I fell in Love with that word) and had a great experience. The drinks were so good, probably the best we had all trip long. Split a croissant egg sandwich with my friend but wish I hadnt because it was just soo soo good, I wish I had more. We even thought to order another one but once we saw the size of the pancake we had ordered decided against it. We were in Toronto for a short amount of time but I had bookmarked this restaurant weeks before our trip. Wish the location was easier to find because we got dropped off by uber and had to walk to different stores to figure out where it was. Had this restaurant been closer to our hotel in downtown, we would have come every single day. If I ever come back to this part of Toronto, this restaurant is a must & hands down would recommend it to everyone visiting. read more

Okay, let's be real. The blueberry pancakes are a MUST! I forgot the name of my dish but it started with a V it was super delicious. Everything was fresh. The croissant was by far one of the most flakey and buttery croissants I've ever had. My boyfriend had the skillet and super delicious as well. If you like Mexican flavours more savoury with tomato that will be your dish. We ordered a side of the blueberry pancakes to share and it was perfect. Definitely a good place to come for brunch. Keep in mind for waiting times as this wait can be super long on the weekends. read more

Lives up to the hype - spacious and great service. I've been meaning to try this place for years. Finally, I made it here, on a weekend afternoon. I gave my name walked around the area for an hour and came back to find my table ready. The waitress was so friendly. The scones were way too good perfect and fresh out of the oven. Now the pancakes ARE good but it would be a bit too much for one person to finish it on their own. So, id recommend you split it, or get ONE pancake as your side order if that's what you want. All in all, a great brunch!! Great for families, accommodating for young children and babies. read more

This place was awesome!!! I had to find the perfect spot for brunch while I was on there. And I'm so happy that I decided to choose this place. Sure, the wait be long, but it's totally worth it. The service was wonderful! We had an awesome server and she gave us her opinions on what was the best meal to get. And of course I got their well-known Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes, trust me it was soo good!! I wish it was here. My Verde's choice and she loved it!

So I have just attended a wedding at this restaurant. Not sure what the package the host got, but it's not bad. When you walk in there was the open bar. Then there was a table where they served oysters (I think that was an add on as the guy said he doesn't work here). So I assume you can request outside Service? As you walk in, all tables were arranged into long rectangle shape down the aisle. I think it looked pretty good. The service is excellent as usual. My wife is pregnant and they know right away not to offer any alcohol drinks. They went and got sparkling water for her instead when we toasted. I took one star off though, as I feel that the quality of the main course dropped when they mass produced the food. I got the striploin as my choice. I find that the quality of the meat is not that great. The meat was very stiff and hard to chew, although it's only medium rare (they only offer medium rare). I though it was only me but others felt the same. I remember their meat was awesome the last time I've visited. Though, all the other foods tasted awesome! All in all, I pretty much enjoyed the atmosphere and the place. I would recommend. read more

Warning: If you're coming on a Sunday morning, be prepared to wait! We went for brunch and the wait was 2 hours (fortunately Liberty Village is pleasant to walk through). Posted on Insta: @the6outof10 Infamous for their blueberry buttermilk pancakes, Mildred's doesn't fail to disappoint in service the perfect picture perfect dish. They did err a little on the dry side once you got to pancake 3 (since there's a limited amount of the blueberry and cream) but they were still delightful. :) Wish the portion sizes for their other dishes were just as big. Most of them were relatively small for the price point! read more

I've eaten here a few times and find the food is consistently awesome. The pancakes are always my favourite and no matter what I order I need to have at least one as a side. Recently I brought my spouse here on a Saturday. I was so pleased that Mildred's allowed us to make a reservation as my spouse is disabled and can't manage being out for a prolonged period of time. The staff were so kind and helpful and the Manager (Ian), whom I booked the reservation with, made a point of coming over to say hello and made sure we had everything we needed. It really made our visit so much better as we were a larger group and it was pretty busy. I can't thank the staff enough for how wonderful they were. I have requested accommodations elsewhere in the past and had always been refused. Thank you Mildred's for restoring my faith in humanity! read more

I came here and waited 2 hours for a seat. Then I was seated at a high table in the waiting room ! Don't go here unless you have lots of patience!! Ok so the manger came over and apologized. The manager credited my meal, I never asked for this. He was very kind. The food was fantastic. I will return !! read more

Came here with a group of six and it was delicious. Many of us ordered the croissant "Benny" like thing with half half potatoes & salad, as well as a single pancake. The consensus was the pancakes were amazing - not too sweet, really light and fluffy and delicious! From someone who doesn't even like pancakes so much I would highly recommend these! The rest of her breakfast were generously portioned and filling. I feel the rosemary potatoes were a bit dry and plain, could've used more rosemary flavour, but on the whole the food, service, and atmosphere were excellent and we plan to come back! read more

Mildred's Temple Kitchen - Single pancake, croissant with salmon & poached eggs, omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

4.5/5 for sure and has always been a favourite place for brunch. Called in for lunch reservation and requested for table by the big windows (for photo reason of course haha) but when we got there, we were seated corner inside table by the stairs... wasn't too happy with that. Hence the -0.5 Service was great, and really like the floor to ceiling windows. Food was bomb. Ordered the wild blueberry pancakes of course, some fries, egg benny with the buttered croissant. Pancakes are good to share, although I wished the orange juice was a bigger portion. The glass was very small. Egg benny with smoked salmon was always a favourite and still is. Overall great brunch - would come back again. read more

I haven't had pancakes in so long, I almost forgot how they taste, so the moment I came across a photo of Mrs. Biederhof's Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes, I was totally hooked to make the trip here. We were lucky to slip a reservation in for Monday brunch because the weekends were completely booked--even weeks in advance. I must say that for a Monday afternoon, the restaurant was pretty crowded. I came here solely for the blueberry pancakes but then I saw unfinished plates of the pancakes being taken back and I got a bit worried. Unless you can really run on loads of sugar, it is pretty hard to kill a whole plate of purely sweet pancakes all at once. Despite being a sweet dish, it was not as sugar overloaded as some of the pancakes I've had in the past, but it was heavy. The pancakes were fluffy (but not light) and the fresh blueberries and cream topping really hit the spot, especially being my first meal of the day. If you come with someone else, try to share a savory plate to balance out your taste buds. In the end, I became a common case and ended up becoming a victim of not clearing out the plate. A bit pricey ($16) for pancakes and the brunch menu is quite small, but it seems like everything is made from scratch, so you're also paying for the freshness. I honestly didn't expect the decor to be so modern looking and definitely didn't expect the restaurant to be so fairly new, but the interiors are nice and the setting is very relaxed. Service was nice but somewhat slow. I came here just to try the pancakes but it didn't "WOW" me enough to want to make the trip here again. read more

Mildred's was always my favorite brunch place, until last week. I had no reservation and had to wait. More than 40 minutes and i could see empty tables, not utilized The hostess lost completely control of the tables available and the reservations. I ordered the quiche, as usual. When i received it, it was so small..... Very delicious but very small. I ordered a pancake to complete my lunch. When i received it, it was also smaller than usual and cold. Usually the whipped cream start to melt when you receive it. Not the one i received Should i mention that the cappuccino was also cold. For now, i am not planning to return. To show respect to their customers: They should have 2 hostess, and return the food to the right size. read more

4 stars for the food -1 stars for the service The quality seems to have gone down since the last time I was here. The blueberry pancakes aren't as tasty as before. I heard it's because they switched what they put into the batter to make it more healthy instead of using some cream they used before. I tried a new dish, which was the Big Brunch Skillet, which had some interesting Mexican-inspired flavours which is pretty good for Canada. Also the hostess was pretty dry to us, and treated us like any customers. You can tell she dread every second she was there. It hurt our experience before even trying the food. She also told it would be a 30 - 40 minute wait but ended up being an hour, I think the hostess is not that great if she can't accurately estimate the wait time. read more

Great food. Great pancakes. Love the salads and drinks. Long wait, but pancakes worth a try!

Woah, so many reviews of this place. My sense is they're mostly from business and ladies' lunches, and family and hungover brunches. This place is very ok, which I think is why it works across all those categories. But it lacks pizzazz for the cost. 3 of 4 of us visited the loo towards the end of our visit and were perplexed to hear airplane safety and boarding announcement recordings in the stalls. As far as we could see, airport culture has nothing to do with the decor of the restaurant, which is quite lovely, but more country kitsch (pigs, garden pails, cookbooks), and whose best feature is the expansive view onto the GO tracks and the excitement of the trains swooshing by. But these are not airplanes, these are trains (for which announcements would also be available, were that the theme instead.) The only thing the bathroom announcements made us feel is anxious to get out of there and back to our seats (are we missing our flight? are we about to take off? didn't I promise myself never to fly Air Canada again?) A lightbulb went on for me as I listened in the toilet: this restaurant was like an airport restaurant!! Its menu was in that no-standouts statistical middle zone that tries to offer an in-between meal for travelers without any big surprises. It was somewhat overpriced. Though it was busy when we arrived, it also felt weirdly anonymous and transitory. What's a Temple kitchen? Who's Mildred? Was she a former flight attendant? If you couldn't already guess, we were enthusiastic to try a new place for lunch, but ended up feeling ho-hum about everything, from menu to "check please." I did half-sandwich swapsies with my pal, so we had the chicken avocado club ($16) and the grilled cheese ($14). The chicken had a bizarre and unpleasant texture, one of the thicker parts like rubber, as if undercooked, though it definitely looked cooked. Sourdough bread was good but holey, so this was sloppy with the spreads. It tasted alright, but the chicken turned us off. The grilled cheese was better, but one wonders how to make a grilled cheese worth $14. The salad fit the bill, but it's nothing extraordinary. Our gents had trouble deciding what to order, too, and both settled on the "Manhandler," basically steak and eggs, for $19. They both thought it was good, though neither was raving. The fries were deemed a bit soggy by all. Hot sauce and ketchup offered when the plates were delivered came in tiny side saucers (one on each). Pints of easy-to-find Sidelaunch and Beau's are $8.50. Is this because we're in Liberty Village? Like I say, this is a safe and attractive place for local business people to take their clients, and I expect it is the easiest brunch spot for Liberty Village condo dwellers who are still tipsy and made up from the night before, and committed to making a fresh start of their lives with breakfast salad and scones. read more

I'm glad I finally decided to try this place out despite the awful wait times you have to go through. I came at around noon on a Saturday, and although I was told I'd have to wait an hour, I was seated after only 20 minutes. Woohoo! I absolutely love the atmosphere here, especially during weekend brunch hours. This restaurant is designed beautifully and is very refreshing and clean. It's nice to see such a full house mixed with all kinds of people, as it's always so busy (yet still feels spacious). The service was wonderful and conversational, and the food was simply delicious! No complains there. I really enjoyed the skillet and the Veda's choice dish - you can't go wrong with these orders. I also had the famous fluffy blueberry pancakes as well, just to see what all of the fuss was about. These were definitely tasty, but overhyped. I thought they were just okay, and I probably wouldn't order them again. I'm not the biggest pancake person so it was more of a one-timer kind of thing for me. Mildred's was great overall, and I will certainly be back! read more

Wanted to come here for so long cause I kept seeing pictures on Instagram of these glorious pancakes that Mildred's Temple Kitchen is known for and I finally came to try it. Now let me tell you... These pancakes are tottaalllyyy worth it. If I lived close enough, I think I might eat them every day. The pancakes were nice and thick, not too fluffy, but not too dense either. The combination of the maple syrup, blueberry sauce and whipped cream just balanced out the sweetness and the heaviness of the two and just rounded out the flavors of the pancakes so well. Just writing about these pancakes make me want them right now.. Service is good. Always expect there to be a wait if you're coming on a weekend. I'd recommend making reservations read more

Ugh, I hate giving such a mediocre score but I have to deduct stars because I think their seating system is really dumb and overall the rest of their menu is super average except for the blueberry pancakes. Everyone will tell you to go to Mildred's for their blueberry pancakes and they really are very very sinfully delicious. But unless you go BEFORE they open and get ready to line up, you will be waiting a minimum of 1hr to 1hr and a half for a table. My gripe with their seating system is that they have specific tables for 3 tops and 4 tops. My party was 3 and there were really only a few tables for a party of 3. When I saw open 4 tops, I was told I couldn't sit there since it's only for groups of 4. Like what?!?! I definitely saw groups of 4 who came after me get seated first. It was so frustrating. I feel very bad but in the end after I expressed my frustrations to the hostess, I managed to get her to seat me at a 2 top and had her add an extra chair. After I got in, I saw there were actually quite a few empty tables around. Some needed to be bussed but most were ready. Not sure why they didn't fill them... The waitress was really great, upbeat and just a ray of sunshine. Honestly the rest of the menu is so so average. I've had the pancakes here twice now and you should go once (be there by 9am unless u wanna wait) but otherwise, don't bother. read more

Mildred's is one of my favourite brunch spots in Toronto. It's extremely popular, so get there early if you're going on a weekend, although even if you do have to wait, you can put you name down and browse at the nearby West Elm or take a walk around Liberty Village. My go-to is usually their omelette of the day with salad/rosemary home fries - the home fries are seriously addicting!! I've also tried my friend's order of pancakes and they are incredible! This is a great place to go to celebrate a birthday or just to have a nice brunch date! I'm always recommending Mildred's - it never disappoints! read more

Best, fluffiest pancakes I've ever had. Tried to recreate them at home during lockdown but was nothing like the real deal. The blueberry and whipped cream topping go so well with it too. Friendly staff. Really nice ambience. Worth the 2 hour wait! read more

Understaffed. Underwhelming. Good for business engagements. Asked for biscuits, was given a scone and airy butter with no taste. The lady seated beside me believed the mango sorbet is plant-based ; I assumed it is plant-based (the attendant confirmed it with the kitchen) : the texture is of gelatine. Mushroom skillet tastes OK (the cremini was either undercooked or a bit off). The 3-star is for the atmosphere (dimmed light). No pictures since the talk has already started when my drink & meal were served. Pancho cocktail (I asked for the rhum to be served on the side) is good. read more

Nice place with relaxing atmosphere! The tables are spread out and you don't feel cramped at all. You don't have to speak quietly yet the place does not get noisy which is VERY important :) Food is okay here but the entire experience makes it all a popular place. read more

Probably the best pancake I've ever had in my life. Like eating a soft shortbread with some crunchiness. Absolutely to die for. Waiter recommended watermelon lemonade mimosas which were also delicious. He was quite courteous and checked in with us in reasonably decent intervals. Atmosphere was airy and even though the restaurant was full, it wasn't very loud. It may be a good thing that this resultant is so far away from me as I would probably be tempted to come in every other day! read more
