    The Brick Room - First Bite 10/10!!!

    I tried using Google Maps to find The Brick Room, but it wasn't very helpful. Turns out the café is…read moreright along the path and I could've easily walked straight out of Union Station since it's right next to that entrance. The space itself has a really niche aesthetic and I especially loved the unique window design. I arrived around 10 a.m. and the café was busy but not overwhelming, with a steady flow of people coming and going. I ordered one of their winter specials: an iced matcha with black sesame foam. It was pricey at $10, but honestly one of the best I've ever had. They instruct you to sip the foam first before mixing, and the flavours were bold with just the right amount of sweetness. The service was incredible. They actually brought my drink over, which I wasn't expecting, and when we were done they came by with water and cleared our empty cups. Such a pleasant surprise! All in all, highly recommend this spot. I would come by all the time if I lived nearby.

    I come to the Brick Room a concerning amount of times. They have two locations: Brookfield and…read moreTemperance. It's my pick me up during work hours. They take their time, give attention to their craft. It's not a place you grab and go. You need to truly appreciate it but sitting down and letting the baristas come to you, explain how to consume the coffee drink and then enjoy it. The brick room's interior is covered with red bricks and fun fact - red bricks are great to keep rooms cooler during summer and warmer during winters! I love the intentionality in everything they do.

    We had a lovely time here last week. Our server was so sweet and funny and helpful. We almost…read morewanted her to just grab another chair and join us. We got the nachos and they had lots of cheese on them which was really appreciated. You could add guacamole which was great. And the setting is just so beautiful. The menu is mainly traditional pub food and they have some fun cocktails as well. We got the pitcher of margaritas. We'll be back again for sure.

    The Riviera + Runaway Cafe (previously known as The Rectory) is a Wreck. Toronto health should…read morecheck the washrooms - could be dusted once a month for webs and dirt, and that would be an improvement. One of the servers was scratching her hair and then setting tables and serving guests. All staff looked (with the exception of the hostess and our server) lunkept, and a couple of them looked like they dragged themselves out of bed to catch their shift. The salad was soaked in basalmic, and the smash burger from Farm Boy tastes better than this. It's busy because there's no other place to sit down and eat at the island. Next time I go to the island, I will purchase from Farm Boy and picnic. If you're going to run a business, especially a restaurant, be ready to open, be clean everywhere, smile and greet your guests (seriously, we thought we were an imposition), and make good food.
