Teresa's Café
We were looking for a breakfast joint to review, and decided to go with Teresa's Café, the self-proclaimed "West End's Best Breakfast". After reading the review of this restaurant on BrunchBox and other review sites, we were a little worried about the breakfast that we were about to have, but it turned out to be a decent breakfast.
When: Tuesday, March 10 2009. (10:15 am)
We say: We arrived to a bright, sunlit room, which made up for the rustic, aesthetically unpleasing decor. For a Tuesday morning, the place was busy and chatter was the only soundtrack at Teresa's.
T ordered the all-day breakfast special D (Daniel), which consists of 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, a mountain of hash browns with toast for $4.25. Somehow he felt the need for added carbs and ordered a side of English Muffin for $1.60, with coffee ($1.50), of course. The food was on par with what was expected, the coffee was fresh and the refills kept on coming.
M ordered the #5, the Vegetarian Omelet, which is served with toast and loads of hash browns for $6.95 with an orange juice ($1.70). It was a good omelet, huge and loaded with veggies, but could have used a little less oil and cheddar cheese in lieu of processed cheese. The orange juice, unfortunately, was of the previously frozen kind, as is often the case with places like this.
This isn't the best breakfast in the West End, and they don't serve anything fancy or elaborated. The food is basic, unpretentious, but you get what you expect. Furthermore, the portions are enormous and it would be nearly impossible to leave this restaurant still hungry.
Pro: The most expensive item on the breakfast menu is only $7.95 - you get a classic, made-to-order breakfast at a good price. For health conscious patrons, there is also the option to get fresh fruits instead of hash browns. There's also a small patio up front, perfect for summer days.
Con: While the service is fast and attentive, be ready for a wait - we were served at least 20 minutes after ordering.
Verdict: T says yea, M says yea. We would definitively return.
Note: They also do burgers.
