Breakfast!
The New Year is upon us and we’re all getting back into the swing of things after a busy holiday season. Since you’re moving and shaking on the go, we thought it would be a good time to feature some of OEV’s best breakfast options that will help get your busy day started! Nova Era Bakery (460 Egerton Street) It’s easy to see just how much people love Nova Era based on their filled-to-the-brim parking lot on any given day – but don’t let that deter you. This Portuguese bakery offers a wide- ranging menu and some of the best (and well-priced!) breakfast sandwiches you will find. From your typical egg and cheese to the Portuguese Tosta Mista, you’ll be satisfied well past lunchtime. Plus, their espressos even once impressed my guests from Italy so… yeah, they really can’t be beaten on the daybreak front.
Edgar and Joe’s (740 Dundas Street) Edgar and Joe’s has quickly become an OEV favourite and with a wide variety of offerings like a traditional sit-down breakfast, and a variety of tasty breakfast wraps, sandwiches, and bowls, it’s sure to please any palate. Plus, they have an extensive coffee, tea, and cider menu along with bottled juices and smoothies. No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find it at Edgar and Joe’s! Dough EV (621 Dundas Street) While Dough EV has cemented itself in the delectable pastry hall of fame, they also have some of the best sandwiches in town! With fresh bread and greens, both veggie, vegan and meat options, they’ve made yet another significant mark on London’s culinary scene. This is very true of their Egg Sammy too – featuring egg, smoked gouda, tarragon mayo, and greens on sourdough – your morning just got a lot brighter. PS: Don’t forget about their second-to-none coffee and tea menu too!
Artisan Bakery (864 Dundas Street) Every single item at Artisan Bakery exudes quality, and of course, tastes delicious. Whether you’re looking for a quick croissant or Morning Bun, or something a little more indulgent like the (amazing) Chorizo Egg n’ Cheese or the veggie Greens Egg n’ Cheese, Artisan has you covered. Grab yourself a coffee or a local kombucha and you’ll be on your way to the best day before you know it!
WIllie’s Cafe (630 Dundas Street) Willie’s has been an OEV staple for several years now offering soups, salads, wraps, and some of the best of the best in breakfast sandwiches this town has ever seen. In particular, the Kickstart Breakfast Sandwich (either bacon and cheddar or portobello and swiss) may possibly be the very best breakfast item you’ve ever had. If you’ve never had the pleasure of trying espresso mayo… get yourself to Willie’s, fast. Peruse the espresso and latte menu, grab a bite, and delight in the best decision you’ve made today!
