After a long night of beer soaked silliness, I'm generally game for a nice fat brunch. Saturday morning was no different. I decided to call upon some early rising friends for some brunch over on the Danforth.
We met up at a cute little place called 3's Company Cafe on the corner of Danforth Avenue and Lamb Avenue. Upon walking in, you definitely notice the coziness of the cafe with its wooden floors, kitschy photos up on the wall and general good vibe. The front counter is filled with the most delicious looking pastries, cakes and sandwiches--if I could have ate there all day I would have.
After perusing the brunch menu, I decided to go with one of my hangover favorites: Eggs Benjamin with Smoked Salmon and a great big pot of tea. We were served quite quickly--even before our other breakfast mates that had actually ordered first!
I immediately dug into the homefries and was pleased to see that they were a delightful mix of seasoned Yukon potatoes, red potatoes and even sweet potatoes. I'll admit that I'm a homefry fiend and was completely enthused when one of my dining companions couldn't finish her share. I'm totally incorporating sweet potatoes into my next "at home breakfast". The smoked salmon and poached eggs with Hollandaise sauce was a treat to delve into but even better than that was the fresh herb and cheddar scone base that replaced the normal english muffin. THIS is how Eggs Benny should be served-the scone gives it that extra little edge from the ordinary Eggs Benny dish. At $7.50 it suited my taste buds just fine.
As 3's Company Cafe is also a catering business, you are able to buy single serve frozen dishes to go. On this particular morning a delicious looking Moussaka was all the rave. I'll have to go back for it one day.
Obviously I'm not the only one that knows about 3's Company Cafe because the place was quite busy. Apparently the word gets around and rightly so. It's right across from the Greenwood Subway station--so stop by and (sing it with me!) "take a step that is new."

Wow, I live right down the street, but haven't had the chance to check this place out yet...Perhaps, ill have to try the Eggs Benjamin
I've eaten here twice and both times I was very satiated and pleased with my meal. The servings are substantial. The service is quick and the price is right. They make a fantastic homemade lemonade. The Salad Nicoise with Salmon is superb and plenty. My only little complaint would be that the potatoes in the salad were cold and appeared to be their leftover spuds medley from breakfast...not that there is anything wrong with using leftover potatoes - just don't serve them cold, even if they are going in a salad. Saturday and Sunday mornings is always packed, get there early or you will have to wait to be seated.
I walked by this place just across from Pape station today. I was drawn in because of the homey neighbourhood atmosphere. This is not a trendy place and the decor may not be appealing to some fashionable people, but there was a nice mixture of laid-back patrons, young couples, family with small kids, seniors, guys... It was a lunch time on Saturday but we didn't have to wait too long to be served. Kitchen looked busy but they kept serving food constantly. I had breaded chicken with salad and it was deliciously done with decent pricing. Service was very pleasant. I would make a special trip again to try their brunch menu.
