    Vegan Sampler and Kitfo

    Highly recommend this Ethiopian place. We got the Vegan Sample Platter, Beef Tips and Kitfo to share between two people and we had enough leftovers to take home. The food and service were both great.

    I LOVE this place! The food was delicious and clearly prepared and served with love and care by the owner. The place is larger than expected with a cute downstairs as well. The entire restaurant is decorated beautifully. Don't let the neighborhood scare you away from coming here. It's worth it! We closed the place down and had a nice chat with the owners after dinner. They kindly served me some hot water boiled with spices as a tea and now I'm buying my own assortment to do the same at home. Planning to visit again on my next trip!

    WORST SERVICE. I can't believe I paid for the meat platter that's $29 + tax and then received a tiny to go container plus they only gave me 1 INGERA. I HAD TO PAY 3.99 FOR ANOTHER ONE. she said it was a mistake but never fixed it when I came in to pick up my order. IM NEVER COMING BACK. The food was sup par to say the least. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

    Food was not as tasty as I expected, and it is in a sketchy part of town, full of homeless people. Not worth it.

    Let me start of by saying Pierina was the best!!! Our Lyft…read moredriver made the mistake of dropping us off at the new location (that isnt opened just yet)... so I called and was hoping it wasn't a mistake. 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!!!

Great service. The only minus is "creamer product" instead of real cream for coffee -- but that's less on the restaurant and more of an unfortunate industry trend LOL

Where you order and where you pick up your drink isn't designed to allow for a good flow for customers, aside from that, I have no complaints. I ordered a latte and grabbed two goodies for the road, a raspberry croissant and a ginger molasses cookie. The staff working were welcoming and friendly and my items were ready rather quickly. Once I got back to my hotel, I settled in to enjoy and get some work done. My latte was smooth and creamy and just what I needed to get my day started. My raspberry croissant was beautiful and packed full of flavor. The filling wasn't too sweet and there was just the right amount inside. I saved my cookie for a snack while I traveled home later that day. I love how it had chunks of sugared ginger on top. The cookie had the perfect amount ​of chew to it and the ginger on top added an extra burst of ginger. It was lovely. I'm so glad I found this cafe on Yelp and I highly suggest you pay them a visit. I'm still dreaming of all the pastries I didn't get to try.

    It's been three years since I've last been in Toronto and thanks to Yelp, I was able to have my…read morefirst ever breakfast at Stacked Pancake & Breakfast the other day. This place looks like a fairly typical breakfast spot, offering a good amount of seating, large menus for both breakfast and Lunch, and of course, a ton of different pancake options! I'm usually not someone who orders temporary menu items or specials, but the second I saw the S'More Toffee Lava Pancakes I almost had a heart attack, so of course, I ordered the stupid pancakes to avoid such an problem. 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!

    I went to Stacked and tried the cinnamon bun pancakes and they were so good. Very sweet though so I…read morewould say share unless you really love sugar like that. But honestly worth it. I also had bacon and scrambled eggs and that was a nice touch with everything. The mix of sweet and savory just worked. Portions are solid and the food came out fresh. I would definitely come back.
