dairy lane cafe

great food/service. fantasticbreakfastand lunch! be prepared to wait as it can get pretty busy and space is limited. patio is nice in the summer.

staff and owners are friendly and welcoming.

yummy!. finally got to try dairy lane with my bf over a beautiful weekend. the wait was well over 30 mins but it was totally worth it! the food was so good, not just some otherbreakfastplace but it is beyond otherbreakfastplaces! also there floats and milkshakes are also to die for! will def come again and hoping to try their dinner menu soon :)

dairy lane cafe is a neat little restaurant tucked away in a strip mall on 19th street nw between 2nd and 3rd ave. it has been a long time since i visited such a small place to eat, but i am sure glad i did! entering the restaurant i noticed there were only nine tables, and eight of them were full; a good sign for a newly discovered restaurant. dairy lane cafe could definitely buy out one of the retail spaces adjacent to it and still be packed to maximum capacity forbreakfaston any tuesday morning. i am an eggs benedict lover, so i ordered one of the variations with gluten free bread, roasted pepper, avocado and requested they add back bacon as well. the eggs benny came with hash browns and the waitress brought along some funky india hot sauce, which just happened to supersede my reigning hot sauce favorite, franks. after that first bite, i no longer was paying any attention to my surroundings, not even to my sister sitting across from me. i

kat and natalie were awesome.breakfastwas mind altering. tomatoes made me rethink the tomato. in a good way.

good food and service. delicious! today i had the pleasure of having the chicken club and it was on point. the pesto mayo, avocado, bacon and chicken made for a great combination. the sandwiches usually come alongside either fries, soup or salad. naturally, i went with the yam fries. i was absolutely in love with the aioli that accompanied it. best part about it, is thatbreakfastis served till 3pm (which is rare for diners) and they are opened straight through the day into the evening. the restaurant itself is quite small and i can only imagine how busy it gets on weekends. i love that its in quiet neighborhood and has that home-like feel.

currently the top-ratedbreakfastjoint in town, according to zomato (oeb is a large chain, not a joint). it did not disappoint. a bit cramped but the restaurant still has a nice ambiance. the focus on local, fresh, farm-to-table ingredients, and classic but well executed recipes, is apparent. i’d go back for the coffee alone. be sure to try the homemade jam, which you can buy by the jar. eat here. enjoy!

wow! what a great vibe! the employees greeted us with the most beautiful, genuine smiles. it's small and cozy, so either go early or prepare to wait (we went at 815 am on saturday morning, were the second ones seated, and in 15 minutes the place was full). we got the hillhurstbreakfastsandwhich and thebreakfastburrito with brisket with fruit on the side and a slice of cherry pie to share. the food was excellent and the portion size was perfect. the brisket was perfectly cooked but a little boring in terms of seasoning. we will definitely be back though, looking forward to trying a more traditionalbreakfastmeat next time :p

my comments relate to breakfast.

i'd give a quality of ingredients high marks.

low marks for space and noise. i noticed several people asking the servers to repeat themselves a few times, including me, which because he couldn't hear, he got our order wrong. the place is too small for so many tables and the music to be played so loud.

i give really low marks for innovation and taste. simple menu, old school bacon & eggs with toast & hashbrowns, the regular ol' stuff. breakfastis becoming a hot commodity. i try a newbreakfastplace most weeks, i watch for what the other places are doing such as oeb, diner deluxe, the beltliner, monki, ricky's all day grill, ace, jameson's pub even.

i took a couple of bites and took mybreakfasthome to flavour it up with some extra cheese, herbs.

they got hollandaise sauce right, i'll give them that - which many places do not. coffee was good.

dairy lane cafe is one of the well-known and most-frequented brunch spots in calgary, along the likes of oebbreakfastand monki. there are a lot of tables inside and on the patio (during summer), but more often than not, there’s a wait when you come forbreakfastor brunch. it's not the cheapest spot to eat at, but it also won't break the bank. i ordered the vegan tofu scramble which was good, but left much to be desired (it was a small portion for $17). the servers are friendly & very welcoming, and they also filled up our coffee and water whenever it was empty!

i have tried coming here forbreakfasta couple of times after reading some great reviews online but was never able to get in cause was always packed. i am glad to say i finally made it in today & am so glad i did. i tried the garlic fried mushrooms & spinach benny with hash browns when the dish cam out it was a beautifully presentation. the benny was beautiful almost felt bad eating it but it was great the fried mushrooms & garlic, spinach, egg & the brown butter hollandaise sauce all worked together perfectly nothing over powering the other ingredients. the hash browns were amazing not sure how they make them & what herb they use with them but they are one of the best hash browns i have had in a while. i highly recommend.

this place is very small and always busy, but the food is always great and i love the little patio in the summer. i love all daybreakfastand diners and this is one of the really good ones

this is an awesome place to getbreakfaston the weekend (although it is definitely expensive). since the restaurant is very small you may have to wait a bit for a spot, but they provide you with some coffee to drink while you wait. on a nice day you can stand outside, or there are some chairs in the back to wait in.

the vegan scramble is really, really good. it comes in a very generous portion, with toast and hash browns. you will not be leaving hungry. everything else that we've had has been good. the potatoes are very nicely done, but need a bit of extra salt added to them.

it's worth coming here for the good quality local food and the unique atmosphere, but it is definitely expensive as far as breakfasts go. i lived a hop and a step away from here for a while and rarely came here because it was so pricey, but always enjoyed it when i did.

went for lunch at 1:00pm on a weekday and got a table in 15 minutes. it's quite a busy place and they don't take reservations. had the stacked chilli grilled cheese and my wife had the back bacon grilled cheese. the sandwiches were really good and the fry's that they came with were amazing. service was also decent but it doesn't seem like there is a time you can go to this place without waiting. i imaginebreakfastwould take a while because it's quite small with limited tables.

i was pretty excited to finally try dairy lane. it's in a location with small shops and plenty of free residential parking. a patio with 5 small tables outside with complimentary blankets and a coffee condiment station outside as you wait.

the first thing i noticed were the prices on the menu. they were quite expensive compared to your usualbreakfastand brunch restaurants. easy range of $15-18 per entree. i had the feature benny which came on tomato and salami. my friend had the spinach and mushroom. we shared and both agreed it wasn't that impressive. my hash browns had a piece of hair stuck to it but i don't eat much potatoes anyway so left it alone. service was good. our waitress was attentive but no smile.

unfortunately, we agreed we won't come back again.

stopped in for brunch this past weekend after not visiting for awhile. had thebreakfastburrito with broëk pork sausage. the first bite was hot and delicious. i had forgotten how big the portions were, barely finished and enjoyed every bite. looking forward to the next visit.
