don't think it's a run down shack, the food is splendid!. i love breakfast food, and this is the place to get it. try the french toast - it is some of the best i've ever had. the omelette i had (weirdly enough it was like a tuna filling), was also marvelous. would definitely return on my next visit back to toronto - oh how i miss the food here!serviceis slow, and there's only like 6-7 tables which makes the wait time discouraging, but don't let that deter you.
