The
Bloordale Pantry (1285 Bloor St W) has a classic, kitschy diner atmosphere. The tiny
booths for two adds to the cozy, authentic diner feel while making
sense in small physical space. If alone, you can choose to eat your
brunch at the bar on a line of red stools. There is a convenient
little shelf in front of the stools (under the counter) that would
nicely hold a wallet or book. The back wall is covered with kitschy
kitchen goods that I pined after. The lights and tiling fit the theme
but the roof tiles did not.
The menu has a few
vegan options including pancakes, salad, and a veggie burger. I
started with the frothy, thick hot chocolate that was very rich even
when made with soymilk. For brunch I had the special of coconut
banana french toast, which was entirely too mushy. The pepper shaker
on the table was preground and the hot sauce bottle was very dirty.
They had a few micro brews available in bottles.
The atmosphere at the
Bloordale Pantry is very cute and the staff is friendly enough, but I
probably will not be returning because ultimately my choices are
based on the quality of the food and mushy french toast isn't gonna
cut it!
