Food Quality: 9.2
Atmosphere: 7.2
Cultural Relevance: 8.4
What makes it special: Korean-style toasted egg sandwiches with soft-scrambled eggs on rich brioche.
Who should go: Students and commuters craving fast but elevated breakfast.
When to visit: Early mornings or mid-morning lulls between class rushes.
What to order: Bacon & Cheese, AVO EGG, a Royal West sandwich.
Insider tip: Order at off-peak times if you want one of the few dine-in seats.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking around Broxton and Weyburn is the primary option; spots turn over quickly in the mornings but tighten after 10am. The Broxton Avenue public garage is the most reliable choice with low hourly rates for short visits.
Dress code: Casual and campus-friendly; come as you are. Most guests are in athleisure or day-to-day student wear.
Noise level: Moderate. The small interior and steady foot traffic keep it lively, but you can still hold a short conversation while waiting for your order.
Weekend wait: N/A — this is primarily a breakfast and lunch spot and closes before typical dinner hours.
Weekday lunch: 5–10 minutes during peak class-change rush; often no wait at mid-morning or early afternoon.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several sandwiches can be made vegetarian, especially the AVO EGG or egg-and-cheese builds.
Vegan options: Limited — most items rely heavily on eggs and dairy; modifications can reduce dairy but fully vegan options are minimal.
Gluten-free options: Limited — brioche buns are not gluten-free and there is no dedicated GF bread alternative. Some fillings may be ordered without bread, but cross-contact is unavoidable.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a sit-down date since seating is very limited and the experience is fast-casual. Better suited for a casual walk-and-talk breakfast or a quick meet-up between classes.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — there are no reservations. Seating is first-come, first-served, and extremely limited. Most guests grab their order to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for quick breakfasts with older kids or teens; the menu is simple and approachable. Limited seating and tight space may be challenging for strollers or very young children.
Best For
Better for: Soft-scrambled, saucy Korean-style breakfast sandwiches that feel more elevated than typical campus breakfast spots. Speed, consistency, and flavor execution outpace most Westwood quick-service breakfast options.
Skip if: You need substantial seating, a leisurely brunch environment, or gluten-free bread options. Also skip if you prefer traditional diner-style breakfasts over handheld sandwiches.
