Pretty decent place if you looking for breakfast type food. The place is very open with many seats. Got the Jessie Eggs Benedict $ 12.99 — comes with three poached eggs which was served on top of fresh spinach and muffin bread. The hollandaise sauce went well with everything and there was a healthy portion of smoked salmon. Pancake special $ 10.49 — comes with 2 pancakes, 3 eggs, 2 slices of bacon and 2 sausage. Everything tasted pretty decent. No complaints. Both meals come with home fries. It was not busy on a Friday morning so service was excellent.

I’ve been to this plaza so many times, and glanced past this restaurant. I love breakfast food. This was a solid 3.5÷5 Walked in here on a weekday for some breakfast and it was great. Walked in and was told to sit anywhere. Yes to a booth. Spacious, with booths and tables in a neat, clean set up. Nice spiced homefries! Only con was the service was a tad slow! The food was great I got fluffy huge pancakes with eggs and homefries. It was great! Tasted amazing. Polite waitress. Will come here from now onwards– never again will I go to Markham station.

The food was average at best. Ordered a pancake special. Bacon and breakfast sausages were both over done and very dried. Asked for medium done poach eggs, one was too soft, one has a broken yolk, one was over cooked. Coffee was decent with refills. Service was slow, one server and one in the kitchen 5 tables occupied at the time. Server yelled from the inside telling me to sit anywhere, perhaps they should take down the«wait to be seated» sign. Asked for a napkin and the server goes ahead and grab a towel to clean a table right in front of me, then proceeds to where the towel was for my napkins. There are definitely better options with same price.

I’ve been having breakfast here since we moved in the area. We usually come in around 8am after our shift so there’s not a lot of people. service is okay, free coffee refills. we always order the early bird special, 2 eggs 3 slices of bacon, home fries and toast for 4.99. it’s pretty cheap, it taste good as well. the bacon and sausage is not that greasy. the home fries is also great but the serving is not so great. overall, I highly recommend this place. pretty cozy and laid back.

Average. Food was average, the home fries were sort of soggy, the omlette was the best part. Everything else was mediocre. The service on the other hand, was decent. The server came to check up on us once in a while, asking if there’s anything we needed and was polite.

Came in on a Saturday morning at 10am for breakfast with a friend. Seated right away and got drinks pretty quickly. Server was attentive and kept checking in on us. I got the pancake special and subbed the bacon + sausage for a fruit bowl. It came with 2 eggs, 2 slices of toast, hash browns and 2 large pancakes. Pancakes were slightly too well done but hashbrowns were delicious! Large portions as well. Cute place, will visit again!

I actually came here for a late lunch one day, and having skipped breakfast, went for a burger which I thought would be hearty and filling. I got it in a takeout box and it may be partly attributed to that but the entire bottom bun was a soggy mess, as a result of the steam, and the fact that they plated it with the tomatoes on the bun being weighed down by everything else. Burger patty was decently thick, but definetly frozen, like one of those angus frozen patties that kinda looks like flowers. I was really disappointed with the toppings actually; the menu description says it comes with green pepper and bacon. Neither of those were in the burger. Fries were quite soggy and VERY golden in color but I like them that way so I can’t really complain. All in all, it was an okay meal but it’s only service was to fill me up.

Did not know about this place. I’m a huge breakfast guy and this place was awesome! I love the atmosphere — the place is not that big, which made it that much cozier. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. The food was fresh, not overcooked nor was it undercooked. Overall everything was good, except my sausages(I’m picky like that). The sausages, however, weren’t cooked to my liking. I like my breakfast sausages slightly crispy but the sausages here were soft and blah. :(tears! LOL

It’s a little expensive. It’s a little not as good as I’d have made for myself. But it’s the burbs, and it’s a great place to meet with friends. Now — you have to appreciate I come from a line of people who like there eggs done in a specific way — in fact, when my father was my age he once burst into the kitchen of a restaurant and demanded he be allowed to cook his eggs himself, because they screwed them up the last time. The seventies — what a different time to be alive.

Came on a Saturday morning for breakfast and was pretty busy. This was our second time here. Food with good and plentiful, but nothing special. Service was also great. I had the pancake special that spread across 3 plates for 9.49 which consists of 2 giant pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage links, home fries and 2 pieces of toast. My husband had the veggie omelet. It was way more than enough food.

Small cheap place where you can get mediocre all day breakfast. Even the coffee literally had barely any taste so I had to add a couple drops of sugar… It’s located at the Boxgrove plaza and is wedged near one business and a couple others — fitness area, etc. There’s booths available and a TV facing the door so you can eat and listen to the news as well. Pretty straight forward.

Came here around 11a in a Wednesday. Good is okay, service is okay. Not bad and not great. We were the only ones at the restaurant at the time(others trickled in close to noon). I’d go here again if I was in the area but nothing to drive out of your way for.

This is yet another all-day breakfast restaurant, but since there aren’t all that many in East Markham, this is a useful addition. I had the waffles, eggs, and bacon. The prices are decent and the food is pretty average for this kind of place. The portions are big, but not disgustingly big like at somewhere like Denny’s. The atmosphere inside is your typical chain dinner type of feel, and the service was attentive. All in all, if you want a basic breakfast at an affordable price, this is a good choice.

Who doesn’t like some breakfast served anytime? I went here with a friend on a late afternoon after we decided that we better grab a bite to eat before continuing on with the day. We decided what we wanted to eat within minutes. I wanted the Eggs Benedict! My friend wanted the Hercules omelette. We waited… Each went to the bathroom to wash our hands since we had just arrived from riding at the barn. We waited. We chatted, looked around… waited. Finally we saw a waitress and flagged her down. We ordered our food and orange juice. The orange juice arrived quickly. I chugged the glass down in about ten seconds(must have been dehydrated from riding for most of the morning… riding horses people). We waited and finally our food arrived. Plus I asked for a second glass of orange juice after we flagged the waitress down again. The Eggs Benedict was standard nothing special so it hit the spot. My friend said that she really enjoyed her omelette. So it was OK. It cost about $ 30.00 and that was fine too considering I probably chugged a few glasses of fresh OJ. So why the 3 star rating? The service sucked. From arrival time to «check please» we had to flag the waitress down. To be fair. it was possible that they were short staffed. I will attend again as our meal was typical breakfast nothing special.

I’m a breakfast fanatic, and this place is my favourite in Markham. I love eggs benedict and E4L gets it right every time. My favourite here is california eggs benny. Service has always been good too.

Came here during lunch hours with a friend one day and both of us got the Waffle Special. There were about 2 or 3 other tables FOOD — Waffle Special(each includes a waffle topped with strawberry coulis, icing sugar and whipped cream, also includes a plate with 2 pieces each of bacon, sausage, and eggs + side of home fries) — I forget how much exactly it was but I think it was about $ 9 which is really reasonable considering the amount of food that you get. — Food was A-OK, waffle was fluffy and warm. SERVICE — All food came out at the same time except for one waffle, which took an extra 10 minutes(and didn’t even come with icing sugar and whipped cream!) — Waitress was mediocre but nice enough. She did not smile and left the bill early and told us it was the end of her shift. ATMOSPHERE/LOCATION/MISC — Medium-sized, large windows at the front that let in sunlight — Located in the Metro plaza, beside Mandarin — CP24 was on which I liked

Every neighbourhood needs a small family style breakfast joint. Egg 4 Life is the one for Boxgrove’s neighbourhood. Open 7 days a week from 7:00AM! Some poor soul like me needs to go to work Saturday mornings and just want some home style breakfast. 3 Fried Eggs Over Easy with Toast and Home Fries($ 4.49) really hit the spot and tie me over till lunch time. Free WIFI… Yes that’s what I like! CP24 is on. Yes that’s what some people like! Save your reciepts as 6 of those will redeem a free $ 4.99 entrée… So buy 6 get 1FREE!
