Auntie Uncle

"A Charming Brunch at Aunties and Uncles You'll always find a lineup outside of Aunties and Uncles tucked away on charming Lippincott Street, a block east of Bathurst and College. The reason? It's one of the best value brunches in town. From the hearty challah with housemade jam, to its breakfast pockets or stuffed to the toast sandwich creations (Grilled Brie with pear, anyone?), you will leave here satisfied. There's tons of Canadiana and retro kitsch to look at while you're waiting. (Do expect a 40 minute wait, especially during prime time weekend hours). Definitely worth the wait and a great start to the day before you explore Kensington Market or Little Italy."

"Aunties & Uncles, Little Italy by Sid Lee. Honestly the coziest brunch spot you’ll find in Toronto, bar none. But also one of the busiest so get there early or be prepared to wait. (The ones you line up for are always the best, no?) The smell of honest to goodness good breakfast food wafts down the street and is even better when you walk in the door. The staff is super friendly, and the decor is loveably kitschy. They make a mean cappuccino and have a great selection of classic breakfast food. Nothing overly pretentious or contrived here - just goooooood stuff. Must eats: Breakfast Pocket, Croque Monsieur, Pan Bagnat."
