The atmosphere carries a casual yet thoughtful energy, highlighted by touches that hint at an inviting, almost playful character. From a tucked-away patio that transports you far from the urban buzz to lively chatter that fills the dining room, it strikes a balance between vibrant community and intimate retreat. Here, every visit feels like catching up with an old friend rather than just grabbing a bite.

The menu draws from a delightful mix of inspirations, with dishes that offer familiar warmth alongside unexpected twists that surprise the palate. Whether it’s the wholesome heartiness of a perfectly cooked egg dish or a layered crêpe that merges sweet and savory, each bite is thoughtfully composed but never fussy.
Drinks echo this spirit of approachable indulgence. From rich, comforting lattes crowned with creamy foam to fresh, vibrant juices that brighten the table, their offerings feel like part of a shared experience rather than mere refreshment.
Beyond the food and drinks, The Mission Eatery’s true appeal lies in how it holds space for connection — between friends gathered around a table, strangers sharing a moment, and the simple joy of being fully present in a welcoming place. There's a sense that every visit offers something a little different, shaped by the people there and the casual rhythm of the day.

One of the best brunches I’ve had during my time in Toronto. Lovely atmosphere and the Eggs Benedict I had was cooked to perfection. Extremely tasty and a perfect portion size. I’m a big fan of hot chocolates and the one I had here hit the spot. Especially with the whipped cream. Staff were really friendly. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I look forward to coming back here again

I recently went to this spot for a holiday brunch with my friends, and it was such a fun, cozy place. The whole vibe felt really cheerful and laid-back – like the kind of spot where you instantly feel at ease and know you’re in for a good time. It was filled with lively chatter. Our table went all out and ordered a bit of everything – fried chicken and waffles, eggs Benedict fried chicken waffle, this ridiculously good waffle in heaven that was legit packed with all kinds of sweet stuff, and the fluffiest blueberry oatmeal pancake. I also ordered a side of the yogurt parfait , and it was such a refreshing little palate cleanser. Sometimes it’s the simple things that stand out the most. Everything felt thoughtfully made. Kudos to the head chef who I found out also owns the place – for serving up such generous and fulfilling meals. While we were there, I noticed they have a back patio, but it was closed for the season. I’m already looking forward to coming back when it’s warmer, sitting out there with friends, and soaking up the summer vibes. Also – I meant to get our server’s name, but totally forgot. If you somehow end up reading this, just know you had the cutest smile :) Can’t wait to go back!

This is our go-to brunch restaurant! We’ve been going regularly for a couple of years now and the food is consistently top quality. Everything on the menu is not only delicious, but also beautifully presented and PERFECTLY cooked. The flavours are always interesting and creative, taking from Asian, French, and Canadian inspirations. The staff are friendly and warm. The only reason I haven’t left a review until now is because I selfishly want to keep this place as our neighborhood secret, but I keep bringing visitors to this restaurant anyways and the secret is out (also everyone we bring here end up loving it, including aunties who are not easy to please!). Try this place out- you won’t be disappointed.

If I had 1 word to describe the vibe of this place, that word would be “tomfoolery”. Sneaky sneaky sneaky little patio out the back. Didn’t see it come, but we walked out the back door and I must have blacked out because all of a sudden I was teleported to Europe. We got cappuccinos and each got an eggs Benedict. Let me start off by saying it was good! And quite big. The weird part was each of our drinks and meals were so different. It’s like they just wing each meal every time. No idea how this is possible but who cares. It added to the experience and was good. Check it out and try to get on the hidden patio. They only let the best of the best back there.

Listen I don't usually leave reviews but I'm currently enjoying their powerful culinary experience that is the French toast. It's chef's kiss, a true work of art. The umami factor is phenomenal. From the softness of the French toast combined with almond shavings, delicious strawberry jam and fresh nutty peanut butter, topped with light cream and maple syrup, decorated with flowers, fresh strawberries and bananas..honestly this dish alone deserves a Michelin. Genuine good feelings ..my taste buds are ravishing this experience

Probably the best breakfast I've ever had in my life. The blueberry sausage was divine, the eggs were perfectly overeasy, the citrus dill soda bread was unbelievably fresh and good mix of crunchy and soft dough, with these incredible spreads (pineapple and strawberry?) to go with it. The garlic potatoes were so addictive, the slaw was so lightly flavoured yet delicious, with a small bite of plain Greek yogurt covered in brown sugar and granola. Seriously every bite was heaven. The oat latte was also fire. I will be back!!

What a cute little brunch spot. Food and drinks were so flavourful and classic with a twist. Matcha dream with the coconut waterand the omelet was perfect. Small place so note that. Cute tho!
