Had the all day breakfast. Sunny side up eggs of which one was served to me broken, potatoes burnt, rye toast was so incredibly hard I could not even break it to dip in my eggs. Coffee was cold. The only thing on the plate that was good were the sausages. $25 by the time I gave a tip so not cheap for the most basic breakfast. One of the worst breakfasts I have ever been served in a restaurant. Such a disappointment.It was mid day this past Saturday at the Mount Pleasant location.
Great place to grab a tasty breakfast in this neighborhood. They also have early breakfast deals on their menu. ?
We found this estabkishment on a Yelp recommendation. We both had smoked salmon in one form or another. The food was awesome and the service was extremely good. Also very reasonable price for the items that we ordered. Highly recommended.
The Mount Pleasant location also has an outdoor patio, hidden by beautiful foliage and a wide sidewalk so that there's more privacy.You can certainly find the staple breakfast fare of bacon and eggs at Hazel’s, although I think their signature creations are so much better and love that their menu offers so many meat-free options.Bonnie’s hash ($17), named after the owner’s wife who is a vegetarian, is a hearty combination of well toasted potatoes mixed with corn, onion, pepper, spinach, garlic, and jalapeno, topped with two eggs done to your liking (my over medium was done perfectly). It’s a satisfying breakfast that’s also refreshing and delicious.I only wish the rye bread was less crispy – it’s more akin to melba toast – and is great for dipping into eggs but not solo with jam. Sourced from a local bakery, the owner explains the lack of preservatives does mean it can crisp up quickly, so perhaps order it untoasted if you like your bread soft.On the other hand, if you’re craving decadence, the eggs Natasha ($19) places poached eggs on smoked salmon and pancakes topped with hollandaise, sour cream, and black caviar. It’s a savoury, sweet, and smoky concoction, certainly a dish to wake up the taste buds and makes me wonder if it’s too early to have a shot of vodka.For those who like it sweet, the French toast is made from challah so that it’s extra custardy tasting with a faint cinnamon finish. I particularly love that Hazel’s uses maple syrup instead of the overly thick and plasticky tasting table syrup. When you’re creating such wonderful dishes, go maple!After such a filling brunch, I didn’t think we could get through the loaded waffle ($16), but as I took a bite of the fluffy creation with a sweet berry, I wanted another bite and another… needless to say, it did not go to waste. And despite what looks like an insane amount of whipped cream, it was as light as air and seemed to vanish on the tongue.
My husband and I are regulars at Hazel's and the food is always great! The service sparkles and we love sitting on the outdoor patio in the summer. Everything on the menu is guaranteed delicious.
Chill, down-to-earth Diner with good service and yummy, unpretentious food. Onion rings and fries were crispy and not oily. Burger was simple but good. And so was the Niçoise Salad.
I've been to this diner twice. First time, I had food poisoning. Second time, I was served coffee with curdled milk. If the milk is expired, it makes you wonder what else is...Prices would be reasonable if the food was actually half decent. The only plus was that our server was polite and professional. All in all the food was a complete disappointment. Hope things can improve...
Maybe we came on a bad day, but then again you'd think a diner is going to be at their best on a Saturday morning. the service was very bad and the food was even worse. Very slow nonchalant service to start things out. I thought to myself "well hopefully the food makes the wait worth our while" but no... You could tell that the home fries had been made the day prior and just reheated. They looked crispy but were just like putting mushy oatmeal in our mouth. You can tell the level of effort being put in isn't where it needs to be. It wasn't cheap either, $20 for a small plate of breakfast food and a tiny mug of stale coffee. All of which I could have prepared MUCH better myself in the comfort of my own home.
Love this local breakfast spot. Good amount of food and a versatile menu. Everything tastes amazing. The orange juice is freshly squeezed and a delight to enjoy. The prices are reasonably priced. The staff is friendly, service is quick. The big booths are a treat too.
My wife and I love stoping in during our weekend walks to Hazels for breakfast. The pancakes and eggs Benedict are done perfectly each time. The pancakes are fluffy just like when you were a kid, and they actually do the eggs Benedict exactly as you want them. How can you not be happy with that. Amanda’s is a great server and we love her sense of humour. Such a happy person. We come back almost every week and its helped us through the last couple of years. Recommend the booths. They are so comfortable. We look forward each visit!
