We were pleasantly surprised to see that they have a sidewalk patio that's enclosed so we chose to sit out there. Service was friendly, kind and thoughtful - they even had colouring/activity sheets for the kids. We decided to get their Big Boca which had some of everything including pancakes or French toast. It was BIG. We got two to share among all four of us and it was plenty. The coffee is bottomless (yay!) and the neighbourly vibe was great. There was a steady flow of people and I got the feeling they're quite the staple in the neighbourhood. We'll be back to try their bennies/omelettes! Check em out over the franchised spots!

BOCA Brunch on Cosburn Avenue is deplorable. Are these 24 karat gold eggs that are serving…read moreconsidering the price gouging that's going on. BOCA Brunch on Cosburn Abe has taken the meaning of greed to a whole new level. I've never seen prices so overpricedI cannot order from this place anymore! I feel sad for all the people in the East York area are forced to pay these ridiculous prices just to have a good time and go out for breakfast or brunch or even lunch. the quality and The taste is so mediocre it's not even worth half the price in my opinion. This is unethical ! It's all about profit. Profits are more important then the people that are trying to lift paycheck to paycheck and survive. Never returning once was more than enough of being gouged for just eggs and brunch and any other type of food again just ridiculously overpriced.

We also got the Burger Benny ($19) but I would say for $3 more Dad's Big Breakfast is a better deal, especially if you split it with another person. The Burger Benny was ok. I wasn't a huge fan of the meat in it. But, Dad's Big Breakfast I enjoyed more. The potatoes are yummy. Everything else is pretty standard. Nothing to rave about, but I did enjoy it. Service was also really good and the workers there are very friendly. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a decent breakfast place. But, if you're looking for elevated breakfast dishes, this isn't the place for that. In the pictures: Dad's Big Breakfast (I forgot to take a picture of the pancakes though - it came with 2 of them) and the Burger Benny.

Food: 4 Stars Service: 4 Stars…read moreAmbience: 4 Stars Fill Factor: Filling I have passed by this restaurant many times over the years but never really paid much attention to it as the storefront did not stand out. However me and my partner had a craving for some breakfast food so decided to give this a shot. The short story is that this is a nice little breakfast place with solid food and great service. I ordered a classic breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage, toast and home fries while my partner ordered the pancakes. My breakfast was solid. It wasn't anything mind blowing but everything tasted as it should and overall I really enjoyed it. My partner's pancakes were really good though. The portions were larger than I anticipated and they were so fluffy. This is definitely what I plan to order the next time I come here. Service was great as the server was friendly, the food came fairly quickly and the server checked up on us regularly. No complaints from me on this front. The restaurant is not overly large but has a decent amount of seating. It was bright and inviting as their window at the front of the shop is fairly large. There was seating along the window so we decided to sit there as the sun was beaming into the shop that day and it was great. All in all, this is a nice local breakfast spot that I would easily recommend as everything from the food, service and atmosphere was great. Give it a try.

Was warmly greeted by Christopher and was told to sit anywhere I desired. Was provided menu's and took our beverage order. The menu is quite the spread and reasonably priced! Settled on the Farmers (2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 proteins, home fries and tomato or fruit salad) When I was presented the food, the smell was amazing! The food was prepared to perfection and the pancakes... OMG... they were light, fluffy and oh so yummy. If you are a fan of the proper home fries (read: NOT fried) - you will be in heaven! The vibe here is amazing and wondering why I did not discover this gem earlier! Come by, say hi to Christopher and crew and enjoy a wonderfully crafted meal.

The restaurant is giving cozy comforts diner with abut 20 people worth of seating. Join the waitlist as soon as you can because you can wait up to 2 hours for a table on a Sunday morning. After we got seated and our waiter came over and he wasn't giving the most welcoming energy, he seemed a little stand off ish which was weird but we assumed that's just how he was lol. Other than that that the service was good. We started with the biscuits. You have an option to have it with gravy or jam. We got jam and it came with a clotted cream like spread and a cinnamon apple tasting jam. The biscuits were nice and fluffy. We got an ice coffee too and it was really good. I always come for the party melt. It comes with their house salad and a scoop of their sweet potato salad. The whole plate was fantastic. We also for their turkey dinner and this was so delicious but we were so full we only had a couple bites and took the rest home. It was just as delicious as reheated leftovers.

The menu had a good variety of everything and everything sounded good. I got the turkey triple decker sandwich and honestly it was okay. A little dry and slightly burnt. The home style fries were not anything amazing either. We also tried the fish and chips and it was on the oiler side but was flaky and alright. However, the highlight of the meal was their apple pie with ice cream, which was absolutely amazing and worth the try! The flaky pastry paired well with the ice cream and gooey apple filling. The service was also good, with a very attentive and kind service. She was very caring and made sure we had everything for our meal. Overall not a bad place to grab some food, worth going just for that pie!
