    Great for food on the fly - simple "hit the spot" breakfast burritos with salsa, cheese and eggs, taco Thursdays, healthy salads and good coffee.

    The only downfall - cash only. Luckily I go there enough to get a tab!

    breakfast burrito salsa wrap. Breakfast Burrito Salsa Wrap. BREAKFAST BURRITO SALSA WRAP.  A WHOLE BUNCH OF EXCLAMATION MARKS.  ahem.  i think that's clear.  yes indeed, first break makes an excellent--well you get it.  this place sits in an industrial building on carlaw avenue between dundas and queen on the west side and im pretty sure it is family owned.  the son runs it now.  it has its local regulars and rightly so.  from the son and father owner team it seems the son is the gregarious one (is it too pretentious a word for a coffee shop?), basically emanating the universal maxim "it's all good dude".  

    they have a little bar facing the window where perhaps 3 or 4 people can fit.  Its more of a take out place.  and on that note, in addition to the...you can get a hearty egg, toast, hash brown and 6 piece bacon breakie, other great little subs, sandwiches, and there are specials too.  there are good drinks too.  (for me that means real oj like tropicana).

    if its nice out try to snap a seat on the metal coffee cup bench.  (what the hell you say? - on your break go to first break.)
