Dad's Breakfast & Coffee

Visited recently to try their collaboration with Bear Steak Sandwiches. They are best known for their breakfast sandwiches, serving a unique take of classic egg breakfast sandwiches to more creative options as their take on the breakfast sandwich. Their collaboration with Bear Steak Sandwiches was an Egg and Steak Sandwich, which comprised of flank steak, scrambled egg, fried hash brown and the chimichurri sauce from Bear Steak Sandwich. The sandwich itself had a good mix of texture with the egg, steak and hash brown, as everything fit together very well. As this is normally their Dads '48 Egg Sandwich with a couple of differences, this was a good way to try one of their classic egg sandwiches. Their menu has other options such as one which uses a panko-breaded egg (the Katsu Dad) as well as their own Egg Salad sandwich. Overall, it's a good spot in the city for a breakfast sandwich especially if in the Dundas West and Dufferin area. The restaurant is more of a pick up/take out spot, but does has some (limited) casual seating available to eat in.

very solid, well-made breakfast sandwiches (and the katsu dad was super unique and tasty), but i think i paid way too much for two sandwiches and a small coffee slushy. the katsu dad had a warm, comforting, fluffy egg with a SUPER crispy coating, and was sandwiched between two, thick but soft buns. the chili oil was sooo aromatic, quite spicy, and mixed really well with the creamy, mayo-y aioli. it was super saucy and quite a flavourful sandwich, so it paired really well with the cold, honey-sweet (but not too sweet) coffee slushy. while the katsu dad had a very powerful, savoury/salty flavour, the dad’s 48 was much sweeter because of the ketchup and had a strong tang from the pickles. the crispy hashbrown was a good touch too, but i think it was a bit more generic/normal (didn’t stand out as much) as the katsu dad. again, the coffee slushy pairs really great with both sandwiches (although a wider straw would’ve helped, when it was mostly icy slush and not a lot of liquid)

Their Katsu Sandwich was a standout! It's an Asian fusion flavor that's surprisingly spicy so be warned. Also tried the new Falafel one, which also tasted on point in terms of fusion Mediterranean flavors, but I prefer the Katsu still. The Katsu one's worth the money IMO because it's a unique taste and not your average breakfast sandwich, versus other negative reviews might be referring more to their classic American style breakfast sandwich. Was here on a Saturday morning. Very limited seating with people always coming and going. Popular spot!

A good breakfast spot overall but does it live up to the hype? The buns were soft, everything was seasoned well, and the sandwiches were satisfying — just fairly standard. Nothing personally stood out enough to make it feel especially memorable. The Katsu Dad’s chili oil reminded me a lot of chili silken tofu (which I enjoy), though at this price point I found myself wishing for something a bit more distinctive. I’m happy to pay more when the quality or creativity really shines, but two sandwiches and a small coffee slushy felt a bit steep for what we received. Overall, not a bad experience — just not somewhere I’d go out of my way to revisit.

I'm not going to lie and say this wasn't a good sandwich BUT I would also never say that this requires a visit. The breakfast sandwiches (both the classic and the vegetarian one) were good, but not a single element of either stood out. The eggs and sausage kind of blended into each other, which is fine but it was a bit disappointing that neither sandwich had a single element that shone. Each bite kind of tasted like generic, albeit good, breakfast sandwich. Would maybe go again, but only if someone else really wanted to go. EDIT: Upon further consideration, the thing that irritated me the most about this sandwich is that texturally it all kind had the same feel. The hash brown wasn't crunchy at all, and the sausage really just had no bounce. The bun was soft and pillowy, which would normally be good, but there was just no contrast. I might as well have been toothless and I probably could've eaten it all the same. Just kind of a bummer. You can tell that either the sandwich was bland or that my friends and I don't listen to each other, because every single one of us turned to the next person and said "Oh wow, there's pickle in this" because literally nothing else was of note.

The katsu egg sandwich is now in my breakfast sandwich rotation. I love the crunch and the warmth from the chili sauce. There’s a couple of spots to sit inside or you can sit on the bench outside. There’s a little bit of a wait but worth it for your sandwich to come out nice and hot. The merch is cool, vibe is relaxed, and staff is friendly. I highly recommend :)

This place is good, but only if you’re in the area. Like it’s worth checking out if you’re nearby, or have never been. I got the Dad’s 48 sandwich with bacon and it’s better than the sausage option. It’s a good sandwich with delicious ingredients but nothing really stand out. I understand that the price of eggs and bacon these days is astronomical but the price didn’t really match the meal. If I remember correctly it was $14 for one. Oof

This spot definitely lives up to the hype! Tried the Dads 48 with sausage (insanely good) and the Bag Dad, also amazing would’ve been perfect with another protein. Can’t wait to get the coffee slushy again in the summer!

I personally don't care for breakfast sandwiches, but I really enjoyed the sandwiches at Dad's! We ordered the Dad's 48 and Katsu Dad. Both were delicious sandwiches, everything was well cooked, the katsu had a nice crisp, and I didn't find it too greasy. Menu is limited to sandwiches and coffee slushy. There is limited seating inside and outside. The store sells merch and offers free sticker's and pins. Service was quick and friendly.  Accessibility: ramp outside of store, no automatic door opener. Several paid and free street parking available. Close to several public transportation options.

crazy good breakfast sandwiches. I'd seen a lot of buzz about this place recently and had to check it out. A lot of the reviews said it's a bit expensive which is valid. $14 starting price for sandwiches and a coffee slushy will run you $6-$8. We tried the original sandwich because at 1pm on a Sunday every other sandwich was sold out. We got the bacon and the sausage to try both. Both were really good, but we agreed sausage was better. The sausage had a lot of flavour but the bacon added a nice smokey flavour. The hash brown was nice and crispy. I could use a thicker cut on the pickle or maybe a couple more for my preference. The coffee slushy was nice and what you want an iced capp to taste like. Good flavour to the last sip. It got a bit icy at the end but I think in the summer when it's a bit hot it'll melt nicely as you drink it. The hot sauce is SO good. Loved it. Can't wait to come back to try a few other sandwiches.

I'd heard that Dad's Breakfast & Coffee was serving up some superior breakfast sandwiches, and I'd also heard that you have to show up early before they sell out, so we made our way over to Dundas West a little after 9:00 on a recent Saturday. It was so worth leaving the house early for. Obviously because of the hour, I had to try Dad's Coffee Slushy. It's so good. Imagine a way, way better version of Tim horton's Iced Capp and you have a vague idea of how tasty this thing is. It's terrific. The sandwiches are even better. We shared the Katsu Dad ("Panko Egg, Caramelized Onions, Chili Crisp, Aioli") and Dad's 48 ("Egg, Hashbrown, Cheddar, House Ketchup, Pickles, Sausage"), and they're both absolutely incredible. They've been prepared flawlessly, and the flavors contained in each pretty much blew my mind. These were two of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had, ultimately. Yeah, Dad's Breakfast & Coffee is a keeper.

Was so excited to try this breakfast sandwich, but honestly wasn't anything special in my opinion. I didn't like the egg and thought the bun was dry and needed more sauce. I liked the hashbrown, but it was pretty regular and too expensive for what it was

Dad's Breakfast and Coffee located along Dundas St. W. near Dufferin is your destination for breakfast sandwiches and coffee. This place offers several different sandwiches as well as coffee (did someone say coffee slushie?!). The place is primarily takeout only but there are a few benches inside and outside the shop to enjoy your breakfast. They recently opened but have been selling out before they close at 3pm as it's been quite popular! I visited Dad's Breakfast and Coffee 3 times within the past week! They opened officially on Father's Day this year and have been drawing in crowds where the shop sells out early. They offer 3 main sandwiches on their menu: - Dad's '48 (egg, hashbrown, cheddar, home ketchup, bacon or sausage) - Katsu dad (panko egg, caramelized onions, chili crisp, aioli) - Summer dad (egg, zucchini, whipped lemon ricotta, pesto) They also had 2 other sandwich specials - the B.E.L.T. as well as an egg salad sandwich. Coffee slushies are a must get! I've only tried the Dad's '48 the few times I've been there as it's a great breakfast sandwich. Definitely get the sandwich with the sausage (which is made in house...similar to a longanisa). The '48 is reference to the year the owner's dad was born. The times I've been there, service has been friendly. I actually went 2 days in a row and staff remembered me. Your food is made to order and can take about 5 min. The Dad's '48 is delicious. The bun that holds the ingredients together is perfectly toasted and crispy. The egg is a good thickness and the sausage and cheddar work well together along side the homemade ketchup. The thin hashbrown in the sandwich gives it a good crunch where the pickles also give the sandwich a tartness which refreshes your palate. Overall a wonderful breakfast sandwich, easily added to my favourite list in Toronto!

No notes. 10/10. We got the dads 48- classic breakfast sandwich with bacon, hash brown and a nice perfectly cooked fluffy egg. My favourite was katsu dad- egg is covered in panko crumbs with chilli oil and onion. I will have dreams about these breakfast samdwiches: everything was just perfection. Including the coffee slushy.

Picked up two of the dads48 one with bacon and other sausage . Both were decent . Also grabbed a coffee slush it was just "okay " to bitter for my liking.

There was a bit of confusion with our order when it came out but staff was very kind and quickly rectified the situation. They even gave us a cookie which was very sweet and kind. Sandwiches were all delicious, the summer sandy being perfect for a hot morning. Will be back soon
