Mon Jul 16, 8:58 am - Dairy Treats

The owner knows how to run a good restaurant. To put things in context, when I come here, it's almost aways for breakfast.

I am almost always happy here. This morning was no different. Staff were cheerful upon entry. There's good food, good size portions, reasonable prices (check out the $5 breakfast special), very good service (e.g. the waitress always asks if I want more coffee). The washrooms are clean. The parking is touch and go -- usually OK, but sometimes you need to wrestle with other uncooperative customers of the few shops in the group of shops.

Negative: When I go to a restaurant of this caliber, it is customary for the server to bring a bill to your table, showing what you ordered and the total. Here, not only do you have to go to the cashier to pay, but they have an odd habit of not letting you have the itemized bill. I don't get it... they have the itemized bill, I expect they would give it to me if I asked, but I don't want to have to ask.

I checked the Toronto "DineSafe" rating. They have always passed.
