I had breakfast here with my family on two mornings while staying at the Kensington Riverside Inn which is just around the corner. We enjoyed it so much the first time we came back and would definitely return. Good selection on offer and we were especially pleased with the Headliner breakfast which was massive. Service was fast and friendly.

Our family had the breakfast poutine (not the best we've ever had, hollandaise sauce was lacking in flavour), french toast (shared between my two kids because the order was a good size. the cranberry compote that came with it was phenomenally fresh tasting), and adult grilled cheese (really nice take on a standard dish).Service was ok - not overly friendly. Space was bright and decorated with neat accents. We found it a bit on the expensive side for what we got.

I ordered the Savoury Pancrepe and it was delicious. It was so, satisfying to cut into the yolk of the eggs on the crepe and the duck was well seasoned and tender it was food heaven. Also the wait staff were friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend stopping here for brunch and lunch.

I always have such a hard time deciding what I want because everything on their menu sounds super delicious! Such a cute little spot with a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend the Savoury Pancrepe!

We love this place! Hidden gem! And we used to love OEB so much... now we only head to the Daily for their delicious breakfast. We even heard that Reds in Kensington was better and should check it out, and by far The Daily has way better food. Their pancakes are perfect and their hash browns are the tastiest we've ever come across : and it's not very busy (hence why I'm writing this as I want it to stay open!! So good!!
