Pretty good breakfast menu

Daybreak Diner has a nice breakfast menu with well-prepared staples such as eggs, hashbrowns and pancakes. The service is fast and the food is tasty.

On my latest trip to Toronto, the hotel I stayed at was near Daybreak. This place was recommended to me by my brother, who discovered it during a previous trip to the area and raved about it. I have to say, serving portions are generous, almost too big at times, and the food was pretty decent. I don't however, think the restaurant lived up to expectations. Each dish you order comes with an... more

Let me begin by saying I'm not the biggest fan of Cora's or Fran's! Many a nights spent at various residences on College/Carlton St. has made me realize little excites my taste buds on this street east of Spadina.This makes Daybreak a teeny tiny little gem by comparison; there isn't much of a wait time, the service is good, and the prices are reasonable.First thing to mention is that you should... more

Service can be slow, but the fact that everything comes with free pancakes makes up for it. Their eggs benedict (and a free side of pancakes), although I've found egg shells in it on several occasion, are still delicious. Their standard breakfast with eggs, bacon and toast (and a free side of pancakes) are always perfectly cooked, not too terribly greasy and are served up fast. The place holds... more

This is a great breakfast place.  You get more than you expect and the food is fantastic.  Great options include the Huevos and Parilla Mexicana.  It would be nice if the coffee was refilled more frequently, but its more than likely that you'll enjoy your meal here.

Two words: FREE PANCAKESSeriously, I think they come with everything. Also noteworthy is that their eggs benny includes 3 eggs on 3 muffins. Oh and another bonus: it's conveniently located on the cusp of The Village so if you go early you don't have to sit with screaming toddlers - I call this the early shift, because pre-noon / pre-the hangover crowd brunch places are filled with sticky... more

Not amazing, but this is oldschool big breakfast territory.  With real hashbrowns, not the homefries BS that must be endured at most places these days.  It's not "retro" a la Fran's, but it's still breakfasty good times.This is where you go when you're hungover and/or starving.

Sooooooo gooooooooood.I'm not sure who wrote their menu, but they left out some pretty key details. For example, the "three eggs" breakfast is actually 3 eggs, two pancakes, hashbrowns AND toast. Huuuge meal for super cheap, and the service is fantastic. They were very accommodating when we had to move to a bigger table, and kept the coffee refills coming, which is key on a bright sunshiney... more

This place is awesome.They seat you fast, serv you fast, bottomless coffee. If you're hungover and you want an enormous quantity of food for relatively cheap, this is the place to be.  Eggs Benedict are awesome... they give you 3, and it's filling.

We stopped here during Pride to escape the rain, my hunger, and loud gay noises. Inside I met the worst omelette I've ever had. (Serves me right ordering something called Meat Lovers.) It was a plain ol' omelette WRAPPED like a taco around a kilo of shredded bacon, ham, and bashed up WHOLE logs of sausage. I'm scarcely exaggerating. Aren't you supposed to add these things to the omelette as... more

Daybreak does the standard breakfast well - Eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, toast & pancakes garnished with some fresh orange slices. Prices are reasonable and service is quick. The casual atmosphere is welcoming to all and perfect for those weekends when you roll out of bed late and just want to throw on a hoodie and jeans.Conveniently on the 506 streetcar line and a block or so north of the Ryerson... more

Are you hung over? Are you hungry? Are you part of the family? If all of these apply then you can't go wrong with the Daybreak. I am sure to visit this place every time I come to Toronto. There are rarely waits here, the service is OK if the waiter takes a liking to you (luckily I have big guns so I tend to get good service). The best thing about this place however is the size of the portions.... more

This is place up again - as always on Saturday - if you're looking for me on a Saturday between 10-noon, there is a good chance I'm here.What a busy day - but it was Pride weekend and it's really the only good breakfast place in the area - so the volume of ppl was expected.  even with the extra people, and the noise level the staff was all over it.Didn't need to wait, and we were placed in one... more

God I wish there was some consistency with this place.  Took a year or so break from this place to see if they could change for the better.  Drum roll.......new decor, some new waitstaff, but still the not overly friendly French-Canadian "bear" still works there and it took an hour to get our food when they were not really busy on Saturday!  And took him 45 minutes to notice drinks were empty. ... more

There was a time in my life when I was obsessed with Daybreak. Absolutely obsessed. I would go every weekend, sometimes twice a week.And now that I look back at it, I really don't know why. Yeah, you get a CRAZY amount of food for super cheap, yeah, you can have pancakes and eggs and bacon and toast and hash browns all in the same meal, yeah, their hash browns are pretty delicious. ...OK, I... more

Day Break is a breakfast/lunch/mostly breakfast spot.  Your standard breakfast includes so much food that you're likely to overdose.  For around $12, you get bacon, eggs, potatoes, pancakes, toast and maybe something else? I can't remember if something like fruit is included.  Either way, the pancakes themselves are a meal on their own.The service here is great, and they're very capable when it... more
