I recently visited Old School for breakfast and had their Signature Blueberry Hill Pancakes along with a cappuccino. The experience was excellent from start to finish.

The pancakes were incredibly soft, fluffy, and full of flavor. The blueberries tasted fresh and complemented the pancakes perfectly, making the dish both satisfying and memorable. The cappuccino was well-prepared and paired nicely with the meal.

The indoor ambiance was warm, balanced, and relaxing—perfect for a pleasant morning breakfast. The staff were courteous, professional, and attentive, providing friendly service throughout my visit.

Overall, Old School delivered a wonderful breakfast experience with great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding service. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality breakfast spot.

LOVE, LOVE THIS PLACE! Went to watch a World Cup game, and had dinner and drinks. Everything is absolutely fabulous - food, atmosphere, service, selection, value. We especially loved John - he made our experience so wonderful. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our experience here. The food was very yummy and would highly recommend. Service was aight, they were very busy and we understood why the service was the way it was, and we were fine with it. Patio was a whole vibe within itself!

This was our second time here and it was just as excellent as the first time. We tried the prime rib sandwich, eggs benedict, and chicken and waffles. All great choices. The Biscoff hot chocolate was also a fun treat! Nice service and good in the cold winter as they have heaters around the enclosed outdoor seating area.

Great service! Dropped in first thing on Tuesday morning for a weekday brunch with a friend that flew in from Victoria. Our waiter was very attentive and charming. Had the place to ourselves for a bit which was really nice.

Having brunch at The Old School was an absolutely delicious experience. Everything felt fresh and well-prepared—the pancakes came out perfectly warm and soft, the milkshake was rich and flavorful, and the coffee was fresh and satisfying.

The atmosphere is another highlight. It’s the perfect spot to sit down, have a good conversation, and truly enjoy a relaxed brunch. It’s not overly noisy, which makes a big difference when you want to unwind and enjoy your time.

The service was excellent as well. Although I don’t remember the server’s name, he was Latino and provided a very friendly and attentive experience that made everything even more enjoyable.

It’s also worth mentioning that the location is very convenient, and the prices are quite reasonable for the quality you get. It’s one of those places where you can have a great brunch or meal without feeling like you overspent.

Overall, everything was excellent. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great brunch spot.

Beautiful ambience with retro vibes! Great spot to start your day. We ordered General's fried chicken, Benny & the Jets.. Both were delectable. Bottomless Drip coffee, always! Thanks John for smooth service.

One of my favourite brunch places in the city. You can never go wrong with the blueberry pancakes, they are a staple, and something you have to order for the table as a shareable, if not your own meal.

Not on their menu, but they make a really fantastic hot chocolate.

The service is always great, and the food always comes out delicious and generously portioned.

Something interesting that old school has done this winter is they’ve turned their usual outdoor patio into an all seasoned patio with heaters and blankets. It’s a really smart way to make use of their space and maximize the amount of people they can serve at one time. We did go on an extremely cold day, and because we didn’t have reservations we sat in this covered space. The heaters make all the difference, but it was still cold. Nothing the restaurant can do about that, they were transparent and said we could sit at the bar, but we chose a table. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze in here, and if the other diners in this section are noisy it can be tough to hear the people you are with. Just flagging if you are looking for a quiet spot, I would make sure you make a reservation to get a table inside.

Old School is a fun, laid‑back spot known for its comfort food and retro vibe. The space feels cozy and welcoming, with a classic diner style that makes it easy to relax.

The menu leans into dishes like fried chicken, waffles, and all‑day breakfast favourites.

The service is friendly, and the atmosphere has a warm, neighborhood feel. It’s a great place to grab a casual meal.

Old School never disappoints! Each time I am in Toronto a visit to Old School is a must! The food is fun and delicious! I love their Bennys and this time I tried their smoked beef which was tender and delicious. And despite the snow outside I finished my meal with a blueberry cheesecake milkshake which was just perfect! My server was great and the atmosphere was fun and festive! I thoroughly enjoyed my Old School brunch! Thanks!

Went to Old School for brunch this morning and overall had a great meal! We ordered the eggs Benedict with peameal bacon, the blueberry pancakes, a biscoff latte, and an Americano. The food was great: the pancakes were fluffy, the eggs Benny was perfectly cooked, and the biscoff latte had just the right amount of flavor without being overly sweet.

That said, I was a little disappointed because I’d read so many reviews raving about the blueberry hot sauce and was really looking forward to trying it. I was hoping to ask our server about it, but after he dropped off our food, he never came back to check on us for the rest of the meal, which was a bit of a letdown.

Overall though, the food and atmosphere were solid, the place is super cute and I’d definitely come back, if not just to buy one of their mugs, but I’m crossing my fingers for a chance to finally try that blueberry hot sauce next time 🤞
