A real classic! This was my first breakfast spot during my short Newfoundland trip. I chose this place out of the abundance of upvotes from Reddit. Had a CLASSIC 2-egg breakfast with bacon and toast. But I also tried out the touton, a local NL delicacy. It reminds me a lot of like bannock, except this is served with molasses. All very delicious. Staff was friendly and food was served relatively quick and hot!

Amazing little restaurant! I came here for breakfast and had the french toast and fish cakes. Everything tasted fresh and was served quickly. The service was great: refills on coffee, checking on the food, and making you feel like you're welcome and appreciated as a customer. If you're looking for a place where you can enjoy a nice Newfoundland breakfast and leave smiling and full, this is the restaurant for you!

Great classic east coast diner! Solid portions and really tasty stuff. Simple fare but perfect after or before a long hike. Staff are super friendly and the place is always full. Probably the best Touton in Saint John’s!! Prices are super reasonable. I highly recommend the fish and brewis for a classic dish. Would fully recommend!!

A very typical diner style restaurant. They had a number of Newfoundland specialties. I had a breakfast with eggs and bacon. The bacon was well cooked and the eggs fresh. The homefries were just OK. Most important was the service was excellent. The waitress was very patient as the "tourists" asked lots of questions on our first morning in Newfoundland. A reasonably priced place serving good food.

My favourite spot in St. John’s so far.. Came for brunch on the weekend so there was some wait, but maybe less than ten minutes, so worth it. Food and service were great. Loved the atmosphere. Got a cheese omelette.. Had to try to the Touton which was delicious. Coffee is also pretty good. Will definitely come back when in St. John’s.

Amazing breakfast! Go early before the rush. It’s worth the wait if you don’t get there early and there is a line. Stick around anyway! We ordered coffees, always topped up and hot. Great unlimited coffee! Service is excellent! Staff all working so hard as a team to keep customers happy. The Toutons are fantastic! Tried one with molasses and the other with syrup. It was our first time trying Toutons and we loved them very much. Must try! We also ordered Fish & Brewis, Fish cake, Western omelette and added sausages on the side. Best breakfast and kept us full all day!

Had breakfast while staying in the area, a nice spot that opens at 8 am. Friendly service with frequent top ups of coffee. Had to try their Fish & Brewis, a traditional Newfoundland dish. Also had their Western Omelette. Tasty food! I've never had hard tack or scrunchions before, so it was a culinary experience. Thankfully, the fresh fruit side balanced out the greasiness of the fried food and salted cod. A nice morning meal to end off our travels in the city.
