OEB Breakfast Co.

I had the Breakfast Sammy this morning and it was absolutely delicious. You can tell by the fact that I finished half the sandwich before remembering to take a photo. Service was very fast and friendly, no complaints. They were accommodating for my toddler and have a good kids menu. Will definitely return for the amazing food!

I have been to a few locations of OEB and university district has to be the BEST location. Very beautiful ambiance and such a great vibe. Love the customer service. My server was the best. She found out it was my birthday and got us a complimentary crepe. I literally started crying lol. The lobster scrambled was soooo soooooo good. I am going to this place over and over and over again!

Great food, but the service needs serious attention. The servers seem incredibly overwhelmed and completely 'in the weeds.' Getting a simple coffee refill took multiple requests and reminders. Given how busy this place gets, management really needs to invest in dedicated support staff just to handle basics like water and coffee so the servers can do their jobs. The food is the only reason I would consider coming back."

I really wanted to love OEB in the University District – the location is so convenient for a lunch break from campus, and the space is bright and inviting. Unfortunately, it is extremely loud inside, to the point where you’re almost yelling across the table to have a conversation. For a quick break from work, that makes it hard to relax or connect. At these prices, I was hoping for a higher caliber of both food and service. While the menu has creative options, the overall experience just didn’t quite meet expectations for me.

We went to OEB for our early Mother's Day brunch, and everything about the experience was just perfect. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding—especially the twin servers who were so kind, cheerful, and genuinely attentive. They made us feel really welcome and taken care of. The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered coffee, and it was rich and smooth—just what we needed to start the meal. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and the banana pudding was such a delightful surprise—sweet, creamy, and comforting. The smoked salmon benny was probably my favorite; the eggs were perfectly poached, and the hollandaise had just the right touch of tang. Honestly, every single item we ordered was spot on. It was such a lovely way to celebrate Mother's Day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to enjoy it. OEB truly made it special, and we’ll definitely be back again!

I popped into this Restaurant at 10:30AM for Breakfast. I asked for a table for one. One of the Owners, standing in the front with Waiters, said that they had noTables. There were Customers at 4 Tables. The rest of the Restaurant was empty. In fact a Portion of the Restaurant was closed off. I guess He was waiting for the Lunch Crowd at 12 - 1PM. He said only a seat at the Bar. Does He really expect a Retire Senior, 73, to sit on a Bar Stool with legs dangling? If I’m paying $25.00 for Breakfast, which is crazy anyway, I deserve a decent Table. Main reason I do not frequent this Restaurant is you only get 1 piece of Toast, not buttered, so by the time it arrives at your Table it is hard and cold. Definitely not impressed and definitely not coming back. Do I recommend this Restaurant? Absolutely not!

One of the best breakfasts in town! The food is always fresh, creative, and absolutely delicious! What truly makes the experience even better is the outstanding service. Matt went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. His friendly attitude, attention to detail, and great recommendations made our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!!

If someone enjoys a full house breakfast/brunch scenes, lively crowd and finger licking good food along with positive vibes, then this is the place. Also, I had always encounterd with the staff who is enthusiastic and friendly. Earlier, I have had their traditional benny, smoked chicken club and french toast triffle(4 ST SW location) but this is the first time I ordered shakshuka with hard boiled eggs. This was on a rainy Sunday morning and after first spoonfuI I felt like that’s all I needed at that point. Warm, soupy, flavourful, made to perfection. That shakshuka forced me to write a review☺️. I would always recommend this place for good food and great atmosphere. Keep it up guys!!

This is my favorite brunch place. They always have high quality of food and nice service. All my friends also like here.

The OEB website said that the location was open. I placed an order through the OEB website (not through Yelp or Skip). The order was for six breakfasts which cost $118. The order was processed. When I went to the restaurant to pickup the order, it was closed but the money was still taken from my account. Trying to phone the restaurant during business hours took five phone calls before I could get a human on the phone. Messages sent through the contact form on the OEB website have still not been answered. After finally getting the email address for the GM, he claimed that the issue was a Skip problem and that the refund would need to be processed through them even though the order confirms that I forwarded to him clearly showed that the order was not placed via Skip. Very frustrating.

Delicious food, great friendly service, Busy friendly place! We have been coming hear for years and will continue!

Pretty good, although the breakfast poutines felt drier/less saucey than previous times I've been to other OEBs in Calgary.

Great food. Great & quick service. It's our number one breakfast spot in the city. The Benedict's are unreal

Weekends are VERY BUSY Call ahead to join wait list Scramlette/omelette was delicious Great service too. Friendly and fast

Great food, good service. Very consistent quality every time we come in. Great brunch spot!

Enjoyed breakfast here on a weekend in April with family . Very busy on a Saturday around noon and had to wait about half hour . We ordered salmon eggs Benedict and a burger meal . The eggs Benny was good but I wish it coulda included some sliced fruit on the platter . I had this dish long ago at the Edmonton trail place & it had fruit as well . I was a bit disappointed this order didn't ... and it felt kinda skimpy . Don't know if I would come back

Service was quick once you get seated and food came out in less than 10 minutes. Our order was correct and portion sizes were fair for the price. The lines are long on the weekend but the virtual line up feature helps a lot. The ambience is lively and energetic, but it may be difficult to have a quiet conversation if that is what you're after.

We were in Calgary on our way to Banff and stopped off at OEB for a weekday brunch. It was fantastic. The service was great and the food was outstanding. The only thing that could have been better would be the iced tea. We are used of black tea but this tea was very lemony. I think that might just be a local thing though. We had the classic breakfast which was delicious and filling. The avocado toast was great and had a little Mediterranean flair. Overall, it was a great choice!

Very good breakfast/brunch food, their potatoes are amazing. The breakfast poutines and the eggs benny are my favourites!

Food is fantastic! Service second time around was much more pleasant than the first time I visited. I will go back and will bring friends. The caramel latte with almond milk is delicious.

A favorite dish. Done better than anywhere else and within walking distance. Busy, every day.

Excellent food. Mediocre service. Long wait. High price. Read the other reviews. They get it right.

OEB Breakfast Co is a great place to go for breakfast or brunch. I had a work meeting here and its the perfect place to chat and eat. Not too loud. Food is great here and one of my favorites are the breakfast bowls. Love the omelet's and eggs benedict too. I have tried many things and it never disappoints. Overall excellent place for some breakfast and brunch on the weekend too

Had the lobster hash. Loved it. The coffee was another story. Think of it like pop that had gone flat.... And was filtered through a wet sock. That might be a little generous. Service was good. Great location. Wait was minimal. We will go back, but we'll skip the coffee.

Service was prompt but the food quality could be better. The fruit didn't taste very fresh, my eggs were overcooked and the potatoes weren't crispy.

Average food and services but expensive. Nothing special about the ambiance of this location. There are other better breakfast places in Calgary and I would not recommend going to this franchise restaurant unless you have no other choices.

There is no place worth an hour wait. I gave up after waiting 45 minutes. Go the down the street to the Borough, awesome Food and great service. No wait.

This location is always a little busy but always worth it! The servers are amazing, food is always great, and if you come here often enough you appreciate the vibrancy of this location.

Food was okey..But...the server was pouting and appeared not even willing to serve us:((.She never offered for any coffee refill and had to request for water.We've been in this Resto many times and this was a noticeable experience comparable to our previous ones.The server was friendlier serving other clients who are of her same color(we are Asians).Coffee tasted bland not as good as before..did she serve us Decaf instead of Regular coffee?.

Convenient no-wait on weekdays and free 2-hr retail parking in the burgeoning new U-District, OEB's latest expansion hits the spot! Well-staffed and lively modern decor complete with a diverse and hilariously-written menu. My Get Shorty Rib Poutine was a delicious hefty serving of beef brisket chunks and perfect poached eggs, I doused it in Franks hot sauce and loved it. Sis got the meat-less to say poutine and added bacon because of course. Blueberry chicken bangers (chubby sausages) were quite bland but juicy and a nice side. Never thought I'd get the chance to try OEB considering the 2 hour wait for the one in Vancouver-- come to find it's been in Calgary 10+ years with multiple locations! I'll be back.

We ordered breakfast from them (after a really brutal morning) and it was dismal. The burrito was nothing- maybe 2 scrambled eggs and tomato and onion- crap I could've made with little effort, the crepe had barely any filling (I've seen it ordered onsite and it looked amazing-)this had some banana, berries and a scant amount of crème patisserie- so dissatisfied- there are so many other breakfast places in Calgary that take pride in their product- this place was not one of them.

Steve accommodated our large/short reservation with ease. Five star food would recommend.Excellent service from our waitress Rachel. *Short notice reservation

I would consider going elsewhere for breakfast. We went for breakfast Saturday morning. Upon arrival, they sat us close to the door and it was really cold. We asked to be moved as our kids were getting cold, they told us no even tho the extra room they have was empty. They told us it opens at 9am however they started sitting people there at 830. Food was ok, service can be better.

The wait on a weekend is not worth it, especially during the winter when waiting outside can be challenging. If I am in the area again on weekdays, I will for sure consider eating here. However, I am not going out of my way to eat here on the weekend. The food itself is decent but there are just so many good breakfast/brunch places around nowadays that you don't really need to seek out an OEB. My neighbourhood breakfast place is just as good as OEB with better pricing and shorter wait time to get a table.

OEB has always been a family favorite. Try soul in a bowl with spinach. Life changing! Yum!

We had reservations but were sat in their heated patio area. The heat was blasting down the whole time. Food was tasty including my pineapple mimosa. Service was ok, nothing outstanding, it felt a bit rushed.

Good food, good service. Love the blueberry sausage. Busier than I expected at lunch whereas it's a breakfast place so plan ahead.

Perfect brunch place with an amazing "Do Not Even Go There" crepe for the sweet tooth! Not too sweet and not too heavy with the right amount of fresh fruits inside! Patio is great for a sunny day out to chat with friends and have great food

The food was delicious and plentiful. The vanilla chai was very good and the orange juice was a good amount. Overall a great breakfast and would go again as there were numerous things in the menu that I wanted to try.

Happy had a rez, place was packed. Food was good, prompt service. Couldn't help but feel rushed, would go back, but not on a weekend.

Everything is good here! You won't be disappointed! Specially seafood crepe which is my favourite!

I love OEB but this location is awful. Service was terrible, food was cold on arrival, a fire alarm went off for around 20 minutes while we were there, the server we had was scattered and forgetful and honestly this room could be way better managed with some better oversight! The manager/supervisor was totally absent even after I talked to the server about the poor service he'd provided there was no remedy offered. I am a hospitality industry professional and this was the second time that I have been to this location and will honestly not return to it after this latest fiasco!

Great brunch spot for a quick breakfast. Good service too. I found the ambiance a little hectic and busy.

I make a reservation today and it was canceled without informing me and I arrived with my 2 kids and the host told me that she will put me back in the list and that I will be first then 10 minutes later she said that I will have to wait 25 minutes! This is a lack of respect with clients and obviously this girl that is managing the wait list la k experience and she is careless about dissatisfied clients.

You are quickly greeted as soon as you sit down. The food came out very fast and what I expected - delicious! They're a very efficient, we were in and out within 45 minutes. Couple of hot tips before you go to any OEB: I love using the Yelp app to help "wait in line", and the timing is usually very close to what they post there! AND they sell gift cards at Costco so you can get a $100 value for $80!

One of the best brunch places in the northwest. Unfortunately they are wildly disorganized when it comes to seating people and flipping tables. We regularly watch people get seated ahead of us when we checked in first, their wait-list barely works, and much of the patio seating is unpleasant due to glare from the sun. The food really is great, though.

I heard a lot of hype about this place and got curious seeing their always packed and had to cancel my visit twice because of the long wait. But honestly speaking, I feel like it's overrated. Overpriced for the quality of the food. I seriously enjoyed my granddaughter's plain pancakes more than what I ordered. I enjoyed our time there but I don't think I would come back anytime soon.

Very poor experience me and fiancé had today. First, we ordered our drinks after waiting 10 mins at the table, I ordered a orange juice and my fiancé ordered a smoothie Plus coffees. We did not get our drinks until after our food came and then they came in "to go" cups after asking where the drinks were twice. Second I had ordered my meal with a extra egg and when my order came out no one seemed to know about the extra egg, I had to then wait 5 more minutes for a egg that was then brought to the wrong table, when I finally got my extra egg it came completely unseasoned in a Dish, which is unfortunate maybe could have came with the hollandaise sauce my meal originally had on it or some kind of seasoning period. Last thing the service was all in all terrible, we never got offered a coffee refill, when the coffee cream was brought to the table it was a empty carafe. On other notes the food was good as always hats off the the staff in back of house, front of house needs help, very disappointing as this was one of our new favourite breakfast places.

Great food and excellent coffee, helpful staff. University District is a great location. We'll be back!

Just left restaurant. Was seated with menus by host. Sat for 15 mins. No server, no greeting, no coffee. In a restaurant less than 30% full. 8-10 servers walking around restaurant.

Packed place on a Sunday but the service was kind and the food was great. Just a little cold out on the enclosed patio.

I have been here at least 3 times because the food is good. The service just ruins the whole experience here. It's just the worst

Beyond frustrating. Join the wait list they ask you to come at a certain time to tell you that there are 80 people in front of you. Nice

Service was terrible. Server was dismissive and rude, didn't get our food right, and our table wasn't properly set. Asked for sugar when I got coffee and never got it even when I asked for it a couple of times, had to borrow from another table. Any other OEB location is better than this one, and it's not a high bar.

Best breakfast in Calgary! Never had a bad breakfast and super fast! Can't wait to go again!

Of all the brunch places I have been too, this is by far consistently the best. Their Benny or their poutine bowls are the best thing to get on the menu!!

Super excited to have this location opening. Right beside my university! I loved the 4th street and mission location OEB as well as I live right beside it and would always go for breakfast and brunch there. Now i can enjoy it on a weekday as well in between classes. Love OEB and the food super excited for this restaurant! Everyone should check it out opening day :)
