Parking is impossible here.
Deal with it if you liked poached eggs. It's one of the only places in Toronto that I can get good poached eggs - and that they'll ask if I want them runny, regular or hard - and deliver on my request.
Bathrooms are clean for Toronto/Scarborough. The clientele can be a bit hmmmm not smooth.
Rye toast and poached eggs - they make this a good choice for me for a breakfast spot. -

What a total dump. There was a fly buzzing about, the tables were dirty, our waiter (Ken?) had zero interest in his job, the food was overpriced and awful, and there was hardly any parking out front. To top it all off, the idiot at the table next to us couldn't keep his nose out of our business. Avoid!

It seems like at 9 am on a Sunday morning, this is one of the first places to be open, so it had gotten busy. The two waitresses were scrambling, and doing the best they can, so I have no complaint about the service.
The food itself... well, it is quite expensive for what it is. I ordered a meat-lover omelet made by egg whites, and a double shot espresso. The bill came to $18. I can think of a lot better places with more generous quantity of food to eat at for that kind of price. -

I love the egg white veggie scrambler. My favorite brekkie here. This time I tried the sausage scrambler and N enjoyed the egg white scrambler. Kaya had the eggs and sausages..
Service was OK at this location and it was pretty busy. -

I enjoy this place for the food, selection and service, but I have to agree with Barbara K.......... the parking sucks!!!
Other than that, wonderful. -

Our friends suggested we meet here for Sunday lunch. On arrival we noticed a huge problem....parking. Or lack thereof. Since this location is on the corner of 2 busy main streets, parking on the street is impossible. That leaves only the neighbouring businesses' lots....really unfair to them and a bad idea all around. Really unfortunate because the rest of the meal turned out fine.
Although busy, we were seated quickly and the staff was some of the best we have had for this type of eatery. Very friendly and efficient. The selection was good, as was the portion size. And the price affordable.
Overall, worth a try if you are willing to wait for a parking spot, or hope you get lucky and don't have to. -

Went to this Eggsmart location this morning after our regular breakfast standby was way too busy.
It was SUPER busy as well, but only had to wait about 5 min. for a table (not the best table though...right near the front door...so people were lining up right behind us waiting for their tables and one lady decided to stand in such a way that her butt was facing the back of me, literally a few inches over my left shoulder- NOT appetizing at all!)
Aside from that unappetizing aspect, the service was fast, food came quickly and was quite tasty, good value for your money. I had the veggie omlette, w.w. toast (comes buttered), homefries, a wedge of canteloupe and an orange slice...was good. I also had fresh-squeezed OJ which was a nice surprise coming from a fast-food breakfast joint.
The only thing I didn't like about it was the cramped quarters/environment and some of the patrons. I felt a little rushed as well, as people were lining up waiting for tables.
Will probably go again, but not on a weekend. -

So my boyfriend wanted to go out for breakfast and wanted to go to eggsmart because one just opened up near our house, so off we go.
First off we got seated right awy despite being fairly busy, and the waitress was very nice got our drinks fast. We ordered our food and it came quite quickly.
I would like the compliment the waitress, I heard her telling others it was her first day on the job, but she was WONDERFUL, attentive enough as to not be annoying, and I heard her talking to the elderly couple next to us and she seeme quite sweet.
Next note before getting to the food, it was BOILING in there, like I mean I was sitting in a sauna kinda hot. I was actually getting naseous from time to time because I was trying to eat hot food while sitting in a steam box.
The food however was just kinda boring....I got french toast, nothing wonderful, the french toast I make at home is better. My boyfriend got the steak and eggs combo, he ate all the steak but did note that it was no medium rare as ordered and needed much HP sauce (this might just be because he's a condiment junkie). I tried both his eggs and "home fries" - the home fries were slightly mushy in some parts and then slightly undercooked in others. Not a fan I must say. I would have rather gone around the corner to our normal breakfast spot. The eggs were decent though, our other friend who joined us later had no compliants.
The powder on the home fries tasted like the beef boullion cubes you get in a mr. noodles package which I found odd....
Overall, maybe I'd go again if I'm craving breakfast (as they serve it all day) and try something with meat in it
