Don't be discouraged by the lack of curb appeal. This place looks like it was a drive up burger place at one time, but not in a good way.
I was early and arrived alone, but was welcomed by the bubbly server/owner(?). She seemed to know all her customers and was very friendly and accommodating. The coffee flowed without much coaxing.
The breakfast special, at 5.95, is called the "Eggspress", which contains 3 eggs any style with choice of meat.
They offer a veggie version, cleverly called the "Veggie Eggspress" which allowed a substitution for the meat, and i chose beans. (I forget the other choices.)
Both are served with home fries, a small but tasty side salad and toast. Coffee is extra.
We had a big group today, and 3 of my friends chose the eggs benny. 2 of the three received poached eggs that were a bit overcooked, so if you like your yolks runny, you might want to mention it.
Everyone was very happy with their meals, the servings were generous, the waitress was great. This place gets 4 stars.
A note on the home fries. This side order was actually more of a hybrid between home fries (HFs) and hash browns (HBs). They contained chunks of par-boiled potato that were then fried on the grill (like regular HFs), but they were very well cooked so as to be almost mashed in places (as opposed to grated, like true HBs). These mashed areas, after being fried on the grill, took on a HB-like element, in that they contained a large area of crispiness. (If a description screamed for a photo, this would be it. Sorry T.)Listed in: Breakfast places, Diners, Greasy Spoons and…

I tried KOS Cafe today for lunch and opted for their Thursday Lunch Special, which was Chicken Souvlaki ($7.95) w/ Rice & a side Greek salad.
The chicken came on skewers and was surprisingly good. I just wish there were more healthier options on the menu. It was dominated by various kinds of burgers.
KOS has Wi-Fi, though I didn't try to connect to it.Listed in: T.O - Best of Bathurst Lunch…

There is nothing that eggs benedict can't solve.
The eggs benny here are pretty good, but the main winner, and the basis on which I judge all breakfast joints, is their hash browns. Deliciously crispy yet soft smashed potato, cooked on a flat top with chopped onions. I couldn't possibly finish it all, but it was the perfect.
My friend ordered the mix veggie breakfast, which seemed pricey at $10.95 until she got the plate: 2 eggs, hash browns, baked beans, 2 slices of beefsteak tomato, a slice each of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, toast and a big bowl of fruit. It came on two plates.
The other lovely thing about this place is that there is parking, and you don't need to wait for a table! Even on a Saturday!
