  Eggsmart is a standard Canadian breakfast restaurant, offering eggs, toast, pancakes, sandwiches and whatnot.  The restaurant is not accessible, as it has a step in the front, and offers gendered bathrooms.  Meal options can be modified for vegetarians, but options are limited to mostly salad and potatoes for the vegans.  
  
  Overall, the food was "okay" and the service was bad.  I came with my partner on Pride weekend, which was a Sunday.  I know that Sundays are the busiest days for breakfast places, but if anything, it should be their time to shine since it's the one day a week they know they'll be busy.  And it wasn't "line up" busy.  It was "poorly managed" busy.  
  
  We sat down, everything seemed fine, but then it was clear it wasn't going to be.  A table that had been seated and served before we entered began getting hungry and wondering where their food was.  I overheard them saying they'd been waiting half an hour.  What really caught me off guard was when the waitress replied "well shit happens" in front of the family's young child.  
  
  I was unable to get a coffee refill until my bill came.  I find that unacceptable.  The food took a good half hour to come out, and it was good but not great.  I'm not coming back here again unless somebody drags me.

  @ 12:30PM Wednesday December 13th.
  
  I, a local business owner walks into Egg Smart and informs the staff that there are a couple small but slippery patches of black ice just out front of their establishment. The cook seems to care. The shorter black haired lady working there doesn't show me much concern or appreciation at all.
  
  I tell her, "I believe legally it's EggSmart's responsibility so you should probably take care of that." I exit the establishment. I hear her call out to me on the street "What ice are you talking about?" She's standing at the door looking down at the very patches that exist. I point it out. She flips her palm up "Well we do have salt down so there's nothing much we can do about it." I say "Don't you care if some old lady comes by and slips and falls?" "She says. I'm just inquiring. No need to be rude." I turn to leave as she continues "You come in and start complaining at me..." I can't hear the rest because I'm crossing the street.
  
  If I were the owner I'd be ashamed and appalled and would fire this person for displaying such apathy and disrespect to someone who took the time to come in to offer help. I have nothing to gain from "complaining" and the fact that she views this as a complaint says a lot. I actually cared that someone may slip and fall and hurt themselves, so I decided to do something about it. This server felt differently I suppose. I don't care to be served by people who genuinely show no care of concern for their fellow citizens and neighbours.

  Pretty standard experience here. If you're looking for a cheap breakfast without anything over and above then this is the place for you. They have an early bird special before 10am if you really want to make things as cheap as possible.
  
  I tried something a little different on this occasion going with one of their scramble bowls. I chose the meat lovers version. Overall it was pretty solid. It was a good portion size and you could actually tell what was in it.
  
  The service was a little lacking here. My friend and I gave our waitress a little bit of a hard time (in good humour). She had a laugh with us and said it was just "one of those days" after she had made her second or third mistake. They don't have A/C so maybe it was the heat.

  Breakfast was ... ok... but the service was indifferent for me, slightly less chilly for others. I could chalk it up to fatigue and end of day ennuie I suppose.  Frankly,  depressing to be there.  But at least it wasn't expensive or incompetent. It's worth paying a little more for better atmosphere.
  
  I do want to acknowledge that whoever is in the kitchen seems to care about what s/he is doing

  Standard breakfast if you are looking for something that you would have made on your own. I usually judge a place for their side dishes which in this example home fries. I love my starchy carbs but for this location, if it's busy, your home fries will be a little raw rather than crispy.
  
  Service was okay, price was decent, selection of jam was great but the reason for the lack of 2 stars is other breakfast restaurants are somewhat around that has better made side dishes for their main entrees for the same price.
  
  Will still consider this an option if there is nothing else around.
