Solid brunch spot on Kingsway!
Sounds like it just opened up last summer and there can be a long wait, but when my friend and I came for Sunday brunch around noon, we were seated immediately after checking in. There was a party of 3 ahead of us that was waiting for a spot, so I guess it helped we were a smaller group.
They offer a variety of brunch items that all come with a waffle, including breakfast platters, benedicts, omelettes, sandwiches, etc. If you're here for dessert, they got you covered too, with a variety of toppings for your waffle.
You get seated first but have to get up to place your order at the counter.
My friend tried their house signature dish - the Norwegian brown cheese waffle ($5.99) as well as one of the melts. I was super hungry, so I ordered the Ben's Table ($21.50), which based on the description had a little bit of everything.
I tried a bite of the Norwegian brown cheese waffle and it was super interesting. It's a sweet and savory dish with two crispy and thin waffles placed on top of each other with some whipped cream in between, and topped with maple syrup and brown cheese. I've never quite seen anything like this before, but surprisingly the combo works. You just have to eat it immediately since that's when it's crispiest.
The Ben's Table comes with a small salad, tomatoes, bacon, chorizo, avocado, mushrooms, asparagus, baked beans, and two pieces of your choice of waffle between brussels croffle, and mochi. Canffle is most known for their croffle, so I chose that.
It's a huge portion (I barely managed to finish it) and everything was delicious, but I will say, it was a really random assortment of meat and veggies. When I first got it, I wasn't sure where to start, since there was so much on the plate!
Each item on the plate was solid, with my favorites being the croffle, ham, and sauteed mushrooms. The croffle was very buttery and crispy on the outside. The only thing I didn't like was the beans, but that's because I don't like sweet beans to begin with.
I'd love to come back and try the mochi waffle next time! I tried a bite of my friend's and it was chewy and delicious as well.
