My husband and I love this place. Such a cozy place.
I love the eggs benedict. My husband hates eggs benedict, but would actually eat it only at Kerr Street Cafe.
We are also both very addicted to the latte. Yum yum yum!!! -

I think I'm in love! Mark is not only charming and good-looking (with a bonus kiwi accent), he's a pro behind the bar. I could definitely incorporate a visit to Kerr Street Café into my morning routine.
I have very little barista experience (about two years), but enough to know when something's not right (like when they burn my soy or inadvertently make me a free-pour cappuccino when I don't want all that foam). I'm already pretty cranky first thing in the morning and the last thing I need is a ruined latte. This is what generally happens at chain establishments or places that pretend to know what they're doing.
Enter Kerr Street Café. Mark is my hero. I could spend the day just watching him make beverages. He's the best barista I have ever met!
I was also starving this morning and was thrilled to find freshly baked scones near the cash. I got a large cinnamon scone to go with my latte. I love that it's not super dry like most scones I've had.
My only complaint is their hours. Closed on Mondays and open 8 to 4ish (the "ish" is actually on their sign!).1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Jennifer K.
Markham, ON
My day in Oakville kicked off at Kerr Street Cafe.
On this nice sunny Tuesday, Kerr Street Cafe was surprisingly busy. Maybe all these people were enjoying the end of Summer just like us.
Brunch is serves everyday here... good for people like us that works weekend.
Cappuccino jump started my day, while I leisurely waiting for my Egg Benedict ($11.99) to arrive. It was good breakfast/brunch but when I told my Yelp Friend the price, he started rolling his eyes. Eggs were poached perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was tangy with a hint of lemon....
Checking in with my Yelp apps and uploading photos with their Free Wifi, just ask for the password...
Every day of the week, one can have their brunch fix at Kerr Street Cafe without waiting for the weekends to come!Listed in: Yelp 30 Day Challenge October…, A Day in Oakville!

The food and coffee are great but $6 for a large coffee and toast with cream cheese? C'mon. I think they are going for the "the more you charge, the more rich people will think it's great" thing.

Review from Vivek S.
After steadfastly refusing to wait in the goat rope nonsense that is the Stoney's weekend brunch queue (my glowing reviews be damned), me and Melanie "FTR of Kerr Street Cafe" C walked over the infinitely more serene Kerr Street Cafe. We were easily able to get a table for two and successfully avoided the onset of Brunch Stress.[1] Here is my STR.
As per 'la mode cafetorium', you order first and then take a seat. A mighty chalkboard announces the brunch options. It's a dare-I-say-it "cute space." Pretty airy exercise in white and steel grey with a long counter full of prepared foods and baked nibbles, there are fresh flowers from Forget-Me-Nots about (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...), quirky greeting cards at the register and a surfboard above the drink fridge. I detect an antipodean presence here.
This was also evidenced by the flat white and long black on the espresso board. A long black is like an americano but with more water in the shot, rather than poured on top of the shot. Really tasty. The cuteness continues on the coffee menu with offerings like "choc hotlet" and (free) "hugs from Mark." Next time maybe.
For brunch, I ordered the eggs Benedict with salmon and orange juice. Melanie C got the Huevos Rancheros[2] (one of my favourite things to say, ever) and a soy latte. The hollandaise was tangy, though the eggs ended up hard poached. NBD. I still prefered the benny to my bite of the Huevos Rancheros; oh, and the salmon and eggs came on corn fritters which was a nice touch.
My only caveat would be that brunch was a bit expensive clocking in at almost $40 before tip. That's not insane, but you know: it's breakfast. I'd certainly stop here again for an espresso though. Their barista knows his stuff.
Obligatory Title Pun: You'd be KERR-azy not to visit.
Menu Readability: Them chalkboards are HUGE.
Need to mention: They close at 4pm which would be ridiculous anywhere but Oakville. (Rolls eyes, chortles haughtily.)
What this place teaches me about myself: My coffee prefs apparently hail from down under.

The Kerr St Cafe has wonderful meals in a very modern atmosphere. High, high ceilings, nicely designed - a good meeting place.Cafeteria style- so gaze at the art work while waiting to order. I hope they never sell some of the big pieces- they have become favourites.
Mark- the guardian of the espresso counter - has gone back home- and is missed. Meghan, however, has become my favourite barista.Her chai latte is unrivalled in the city.
The chefs make delicious brunches and deserve high marks.
The downside ..as with any successful eaterie- is getting a table. I wouldnt want to see the place expand..but it is disappointing to arrive at noon and find all seats taken. Go before noon..or after two and linger.....1 Previous Review:
