    a plate of food on a table
    Jay H.

    Came here for breakfast on a Saturday at 10am. Sat on their patio in the sun and ordered the specials, eggs Benedict with avocado and bacon and my companion had pancakes with apples cinnamon and mascarpone. Service was fast, food was spot on for flavour and the portions were very generous. Free refills on coffee are also a bonus. Will definitely return.

    Kid's breakfast (had takeout so we transferred it onto a plate at home)

    Nice little place that had good ratings so I decided to place an online order for Father's Day morning. They had a lot of your staple breakfast items so if you want a regular breakfast, there are many choices. The salmon eggs Benedict seem to be saltier than others I've tried. Also, my home fries were a bit hard. Because I ordered for takeout, I wasn't surprised that they were cold (obviously I had to drive home then eat it) so that might've been why but they could've been more softer and smoother to bite into. Lemon ricotta pancakes were great. They came with a side of assorted fruit which tasted good as well. The big breakfast was also pretty much wiped clean (someone else ate it) but they mentioned that the bacon was a tad bit salty. Bacon is already salty in itself but they said it was way more saltier than bacon should be. Overall, a nice place to grab some quick breakfast. Food definitely always tastes better when it's fresh and eaten right after it's made! Cold food is what you get when you order takeout so.

    Smoked Salmon with hollandaise sauce on the side. Excellent!

    Came here Christmas Eve day and they had excellent service and food options. Came here with a group of 6. Friendly family run business. Great flavourful food. I ordered the smoked salmon Benedict, with hollandaise sauce on the side. The portions were++ generous and very filling. They even gave an extra side of house style potatoes (because there wasn't enough room on the plate!). I recommend this place :) parking is readily available in their lot, for free. Family friendly. Can accommodate groups. And thankful for yelp review check-ins!!!

    I came here for a Boxing Day brunch with some friends and had the yogurt parfait and shared the special pancakes (I believe they were blueberry lemon ricotta that day), and they were great! I don't usually love pancakes but these ones were really delicious. Super light and fluffy, and perfect to share. 3 of my other friends got sandwiches and they all enjoyed them as well. The staff are super friendly and really nice, I would definitely come back for a nice simple breakfast one day :)

    Lemon Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes - Phenomenal!
    Emi P.

    We had a great meal at the Vaughan City Grill. Great coffee, great service, awesome food and fair prices. I was fortunate to have Lemon Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes (posted a pic of them), and my wife had the Big Breakfast (Eggs, Ham, Sausage, Bacon and Home Fries). The ham is really tender and surprisingly good. If you're in the area, check them out. We'll be coming back for some of their lunch fare. A hamburger topped with Mortadella? You bet!

    Pancake Breakfast Special
    Dario S.

    The Vaughan City Grill was a fantastic place to come for breakfast. Very warming excellent service and excellent food with many options to choose from their menu including weekend specials. To drink I had ordered their iced coffee. Very well made and very refreshing. I ordered the Pancake Breakfast Special which included two pancakes, two eggs, choice of sausage or bacon (I went with the sausage) and a nice portion of home fries. Everything was wonderful. Pancakes were nice and fluffy and the home fries were perfectly crisp. My wife's breakfast looked fantastic as well. She got the Avocado Toast Supreme Special. She was very impressed. Overall a great experience. Vaughan City Grill is also open for lunch (although they serve all day breakfast) with many great menu options to choose from. Will go back.

    Jetk Chicken Benny
    Veronica C.

    Waitress is friendly and has provided a good service. Ordered a Jerk Chicken Benny for breakfast because it's recommended by the waitress. In addition, this dish is a special item for the day. I do admit that I have ordered a wrong item. Jerk chicken and benny did not really match one another. There were too much black pepper added to the chicken and has overpowered the taste of anything else on the plate. I would choose something else next time.

    Classic vaughan city grill breakfast
    Kinney P.

    Great breakfast spot in this area! I've been here multiple times and it's just overall a great classic breakfast spot. They have a lot of items on the menu to order from and they're all quite delicious and satisfying depending on the kind of mood you're in for breakfast :) 4.2/5 overall

    Big Breakfast doesn't disappoint!
    Tommy N.

    Probably my best breakfast that I've ever had in Canada. Normally there's always something lacking, whether it's the eggs or potatoes. This place was GREAT on every item. Awesome steak and eggs, great big breakfast, fresh bakery toast, crispy potatoes and the eggs were on point! We will be back next time we come to town...sooo good. Great service too!

    Chicken and waffles, w/ "spicy" syrup. Syrup basically was mixed with franks hot. Tasted gross.
    Valerie Q.

    Food was ok. Portions good for price. The only thing is service isn't that good. We waited for the menus, to take our orders and a long time for the bill. Food came fast. I ordered chicken and waffles and opted for the spicy syrup which was basically syrup with franks. Maybe try infusing with jalapeños to make it unique? Coffee was bland and being a breakfast place coffee should be your #1 priority. The only thing that can make or break a breakfast place is its coffee. Our server had no personality, no smile and she disappeared by the end. I most likely won't return to this place again. My husband enjoyed the food though. So I guess to each it's own.

    I don't see how this place has gotten such high reviews. My eggs benny came out cold. The eggs themselves weren't even poached and runny. The pancakes were okay nothing too special. Overall won't be returning. Edit: they were nice enough to take the eggs benny off the receipt. 3 stars for service.

    I'd been wanting to try the cannoli from St. Philip's Bakery for a while, and I finally stopped by!…read moreI picked up 2 classic chocolate cannolis, 2 pistachio cannolis. and 2 ricotta lobstertails Price & Size: Cannolis were around $4 each, not exactly cheap, but they were quite large. Taste: The shells were crispy, and the ricotta filling was smooth, not too sweet, and overall tasty. The lobstertails were also crispy and creamy. Verdict: After trying the 3 most famous cannoli spots in Vaughan, this one ranks 3rd for me. They were good, but nothing mind-blowing--I wouldn't go out of my way just for these. Of course, this is subjective, so this might be someone else's favorite! Bakery & Service: The store was clean, well-organized, and easy to browse. The staff was friendly, but I wish they had price tags on display. Beyond cannoli, this bakery offers a huge selection of pastries, bread, cakes, deli meats, ready-to-eat meals, coffee, and gelato--so I'd love to come back and try more!

    I visited the store just before closing time (around 7:57 PM, with posted hours until 8:00 PM). The…read morestaff member at the counter made no effort to understand my purpose for being there. When I attempted to speak, she glanced at a colleague, checked the time, and rather dismissively stated, "We are closed." This was confusing, as several customers were still actively shopping and completing purchases. When I pointed this out, she responded that "this section is closed," despite remaining at the same counter and continuing her work. The interaction came across as unprofessional and discourteous. I would expect a more respectful and customer-oriented approach, particularly when the store is still open and serving others. I hope management is aware of such conduct, as it does not reflect well on the overall customer experience.
