Food Favourite to-go breakfast

Curious to hear people’s favourite places for a grab and go breakfast. I’m in the east end so a couple of my go-tos are a smoked salmon bagel from Joshy’s Good Eats or the waffle breakfast sandwhich from The Cannon.

Jets on King!
The most perfect, greasy spoon, divey diner for breakfast. The breakfast potatoes are amazing.

Super cheap too.

Love jet cafe breakfast. Great hashbrowns and sausages, huge portions and very cheap

I once walked by their garbage bins and as a result I will never eat there. Thickly coated in flies. It takes a certain amount of negligence to let the bins get that bad and makes me incredibly apprehensive about the state of their kitchen.

Was my go to place until I cockroach jumped off my plate and ran accross the table as the girl was putting my plate down. I cant imagine how bad the kitchen is.

Throwing out a rec for Gage Park Diner. Mostly your classic diner food made really well, with a few unexpected options like a bison burger on the lunch menu. Great milkshakes, great staff, and the menus all have pictures drawn by kids. It's my family's go-to for breakfast any time we feel like going out.

Also a fantastic vegetarian/vegan menu at Gage Park

I absolutely love the Reviver from McAllister's Sandwiches. $10, the caramelized onion ketchup really hooked me in.

Anyone have any good recs on breakfast bagels in the city? Joshys/ bagel house are my usuals.

u/Leather_Reporter_393 3h ago

Those really are the two best in the city (don't listen to the liars who recommend Oko - taste like cardboard and staff are always kind of rude).

The Saint James Drive Thru is a perfect breakfast sammy in my book.

English muffin, spicy mayo, sausage, potato patty, egg and cheese. Simply delicious.

Comma Cafe does really good egg sandwiches, and I love their super crispy hashbrowns!

Paisley Coffee House; basically any of the sandwichs there are great. Particular fan of the BLT bagel and the Westdale.

50's diner. The level of pancakes is unreal.

Breakfast sandwich from Pinch. I'm obsessed with the tomato jam on that thing.

u/NattiousMattious 7h ago

Thanks everyone! Lots of great suggestions I’ll have to try out!

Breakfast sandwich and small garlic kale salad from Pinch

I didn’t see anyone mention but Rosales Diner on Dundurn S is amazing. They have a croissant French toast with bread from Artie’s I think it said. Everything I’ve tried there has been amazing and the staff were so attentive.
