Just coming back from having brunch at this place. It's the first time I feel like I've been tricked by false reviews here to try a place! I can only think the positive reviews must be from people who know the owners maybe? First I have to say that the lady who served us was super nice and friendly, the place was clean although very tired. But the food! OMG the food. We got Swiss and mushroom omelette. The egg tasted like nothing, we had to add salt and pepper and the cheese was very rubbery and like plastic. It came with super underdone potatoes, so bad that my partner had just a bite and didn't eat it. I got Nutella French toast which looked delicious but it wasn't French toast. It was just toast dripped with chocolate and syrup and mushy strawberries and bananas. Basically they made it so sweet to cover the fact that the fruit wasn't fresh and the toast wasn't really French toast. Very disappointing since I'm always looking to find good places around this neighbourhood.

Super 8

Very solid breakfast food. Good price. Decent selection of options. Fast and attentive service. Sunshine Spot is definitely not the most refined breakfast diner in the neighborhood but it offered me the most relaxed experience no other diners ever managed to deliver on a weekend. It is not a restaurant I would pick out for a special occasion, but one that I would gladly return to for some hassle-free breakfast on a Sunday morning. There will always be seats available even during peak hours on a weekend so I don't have to "plan my trip" like I have to with other diners. I can show up whenever I want and be guaranteed zero wait time, fast attentive service and decent quality food. Unlike other more popular diners, I don't have to tolerate the sound of screaming/crying toddlers or the aggregate chatters of other patrons in the background. I also don't feel pressured to leave the moment I'm done eating to clear seats for the growing wait line. We had their Super 8, breakfast skillet and banana pecan waffles. Food portion was very generous. I liked their meaty food better than their sweet-profiled ones, and thought that the waffle could afford to be a bit crunchier. The server was always around to refill our coffees. The perpetual empty seats aren't a reflection of the quality of food, but a reflection of branding. This place might benefit from a facelift since the storefront is unnoticeable and the interior design is very old and non existent.

Menu (Mar 2018)

If you're too lazy to make your own breakfast and you are craving eggs, potatoes, pancakes, toast, waffles, and fruits, then this is your joint. Will you get a spectacular breakfast? Not quite. The food was overwhelmingly under seasoned. We had to add salt and pepper to our eggs and potatoes. Nonetheless, at least the meal was cooked right; I ordered over-easy eggs and the eggs did come out with a watery center. Many of their menu items contain meat and they won't allow you to sub your meat for a vegetable option (like mushrooms or tomatoes), even though the vegetable option is a lot cheaper than the meat. Although they do allow you to substitute your meat in the eggs benedict to smoked salmon, they won't allow you to do that in their other menu items, which I find hard to understand why the eggs benedict are the only exception. Service was decent, the waitress was kind in taking our order and serving out group--we had about 8 of us and she was patient. The seating arrangement was somewhat cramped, but then again, we did have 8 people in our party. I will say, it may be best to come with 2-4 people for comfortable seating.

Delicious food and great service, all this place is missing is some nicer decor. We ordered the Italian breakfast and a spinach eggs benny. Both were prepared perfectly. The Italian breakfast came with a pancake and French toast covered in mascarpone sauce and strawberries. Sososo delicious. The coffee is also the perfect blend - tasted like a mix of Starbucks blonde and pike, for half the price + refills. The food was great, no complaints at all. But what made this place wonderful is the service. The servers and chefs were so accommodating and welcoming. I will definitely be back

Breakfast Taco

Was at North York General the whole night and desperately looking for a place for breakfast. Consulted Yelp and came across this greasy spoon / breakfast restaurant in a strip mall next to MEC, beside a Japanese fish market. We ordered the Big Big ($12.99) and the Breakfast Tacos ($10.99). Portions were not bad; pretty average. TASTE: 6/10 - You can't really screw up bacon, sausage and (over-easy) eggs...Though I query powdered eggs for omelette inside breakfast tacos. Home fries were pretty good - crispy on outside, soft on inside. Coffee was average. FOOD TEMPERATURE: 7.5/10 - OK/acceptable. PRESENTATION: 7/10 - didn't really need thought; eggs for where eggs go, bacon goes where bacon goes... CLEANLINESS: 7/10 - Not bad. Washroom was clean; no yucky smell. SERVICE: 4/10 - Below average. Had to ask for coffee refill. WILL I COME AGAIN?: Probably. If I was desperate for a greasy spoon brekkie close to Leslie/Sheppard area.

Eggs benedict
Eric F.

Service is good. They were busy when we arrived so we ended up with a seat by the door which was comfortable but tight for four. They have a convenient location just off the highway, making it a good spot for breakfast before hitting the road out of town. The food here is generally good. We tried the eggs benedict (with smoked salmon!) and the breakfast taco. The portion sizes were quite large and the hollandaise sauce was deliciously thick and creamy. I wish they were a bit more generous with the breakfast taco, as they are in the display picture (heaping amounts of salsa, and lots of filling) but it's close enough to be passable. No WiFi here. The WiFi network with their name on it is reserved for their payment processor (hint: if that's the case, don't name the network after your restaurant).

Two stars because the food was ok. My friend ordered "The Greens' Egg White Omelette" On the menu below all the Omelettes it states "All omelettes served with toast and home fries" however when the waitress took our order she told us that the omelette my friend ordered didn't get toast and home fries. I pointed out that the menu clearly says ALL OMELETTES.. but she said that omelette was special so that didn't apply. Great way to make your customers annoyed by putting deceptive advertising in your menu. I don't know if it was just the day we visited but the clientele was a bit sketchy. The customer at the table next to us was complaining to his friends loudly about the terms of his house arrest that he was under (not sure why he was in a restaurant if he's under house arrest). This last thing is a bit nitpicky but the pictures of the food in the menu looked like they were taken on a cheap cell phone, not appetizing looking at all. Businesses should really spend a couple hundred bucks to get a pro to take the pictures of their food because if you don't, right away it makes your place look like it cuts corners and is mediocre, which this place is.

I have always noticed this restaurant in passing, was always curious and finally took the plunge to see why it is always so busy on the weekends, I would have to say it is your typical breakfast spot. It looks very small inside but there is actually alot of room and it fills up quick on weekends. The food is just your average breakfast and lunch options. Its fine, nothing amazingly tasty but if you are in the area and want to grab a bite, this place is acceptable as long as they are not too busy because then the attentiveness from the server seems to be lacking.

Eggs benedict and potato hash
Jasmine C.

If you're looking for a decent greasy spoon breakfast place for typical brunch eats, then you'll be ok to try this place out. Nothing to rave about. Service and atmosphere - busy on the weekends so the wait staff don't really have time to come back and check on you or refill your coffee unless you ask them. Though they are pleasant when they are serving you. Food - ordered the eggs benedict and side of pancakes. Eggs benedict were done right...nice and runny and the hollandaise was smooth. Peameal bacon wasn't dry. However the english muffin could have been toasted a bit more. The potato hash was more like boiled potatoes vs fried. They need to be more fried up to have that nice crust. Also the pancakes were tastey but had a bit of chewiness. They probably overmix the batter. Portion size of the dishes were ok. Overall - this place was good enough if you're looking for a typical breakfast/brunch place.

Happy Holiday

The portions are great and the service is great but the pancakes aren't so great. They almost crumble as you're cutting into it and the syrup is the worst. It's like pouring sugared water over pancakes. Why water down syrup?

A tall glass of freshly squeezed orange juice
Lesley L.

I don't get it. Why does this place get such awesome reviews? Maybe things have changed a lot since the positive, 4-5 star ratings were made. When we first arrived, I actually overheard the table next to us exclaim that the menu and the food had changed so much since they had last dropped in ~7 months ago. Having received a Buy 1 Get 1 Free (with a mandatory drink purchase) coupon in my mailbox, the hubs and I decided to come here for brunch. We both ordered the Eggs Benny. I ordered mine with a small glass of fresh-pressed orange juice plus an extra side of hollandaise (y'know, as a shooter, the way normal people do - heh heh) and the asked for regular bacon and a coffee. Replacing the peameal bacon with the regular streaky type came at no extra cost, but the hollandaise costs an extra $1.99 served in one of those small metal cups that often holds melted butter for lobsters. If you substitute the bacon for spinach, smoked salmon, or other protein, it will cost an additional $1.99. My orange juice was alright, it wasn't very sweet - maybe it's not orange season yet? Forgivable, given that I don't expect produce to be perfect, but I do wish it were served cold rather than tepid. The hollandaise sauce didn't really taste like much of anything, and I'm pretty sure it came out of a can rather than being house-made. The English muffins are served untoasted, so you'll have to ask for them to be toasted in advance if you prefer them that way. Potatoes were OK, grilled to a crispy brown on one side but seems like they didn't have enough time to flip it over to the other, totally ungrilled side. On the plus, the hubs' eggs were served pretty perfectly poached. At the end of our meal, we went to pay the bill and was mischarged 3 times - the cashier kept cancelling and re-entering the order, charging for a large size orange juice ($4.99) rather than a small ($2.99). In the end, she ended up still cancelling the small orange juice and punching in a large again. We didn't realize it until we had left, but given that she had forgotten to charge us for the extra hollandaise we were only overcharged by $1 so didn't bother going back in. It's a really convenient location for those of us in the Willowdale area and the price points are quite reasonable, with the most expensive breakfast item topping at $12.99. If you have 2 for 1 meal coupon, your meal with a drink will cost about $10 which is pretty good considering that's what you'd end up paying even at fast food places. All in all I'd come back again for convenience, but if you're in the mood for some serious brunching I still prefer the downtown area.

The experience here was not like any restaurant I've ever been to especially in the states. The staff were so friendly and kind. They made us feel like we were apart of the family. Our server kept saying she was so happy we found their restaurant. So happy we came to visit. She was so sweet. Let's talk food. DELICIOUS!!! Everything is made fresh. They give a pretty large portion I feel everything is shareable. I do not like turkey bacon at all. I don't know why they did to this turkey bacon or if it was because we were in Canada. I can't stop thinking about it or the blueberry pancakes. When we come back to Toronto we will definitely stop back by. Good service, a nice family environment, and good food is hard to come by. This place definitely has it all.

I'll be back just for this. Highly recommended! We also ordered a Double Smash Burger ($16.95) and NEW Biscoff Milkshake ($9.95). Both were very impressive and flavourful. The owner was there and super friendly. I could tell why there are so many good reviews for this restaurant. Absolutely satisfying dinner experience here. Willing to come back next time :)

There was another staff that came by to check and the only time she ever came back was when we had to ask another server for the bill and she brought it over. We ordered the steak & eggs which was $28 and it was not edible. It looked like stir fry, chewy and tough as if it was the last portion sitting in a pan on top of the stove. It was so salty we had to let them know we couldn't eat it without getting hypertension and I assume the manager came over to give us a fresh one to go but still the beef was tough to eat. We also got the spicy Nashville Benny for $25 and the chicken looked as if it was frozen from a bag, nothing nashville about it. The smoked salmon benny was just as disappointing with two small pieces of salmon on each, you could barely see the existence of it. The only thing that looked and tasted good was the tres leches pancake which came out fresh, fluffy and presentable.

Arriving at 11 opening time and being the first table seated we were excited to order. We ordered the sweet potato fries to share and found it standard and delicious. Fried well to crispiness and not too salty. But when we tried the Taiwanese meat sandwich and the Mushroom Sandwich and found them lacking in flavour and most importantly cold. I've tried these korean style egg sandwiches before and the main thing is that the bread is and the egg is warm when serving. So it really threw us off that the egg was fridge cold. Cold eggs and stale bread that honestly tasted oily was a disappointment for this spot. We ordered the ice cream sandwich for dessert which WAS enjoyable and the saving grace of the meal. All in all I would come here for the buns and pastries but not an actual meal (the table next to us who ordered pasta dishes also complained the food was cold).
