Little Gobbler

Strolling down GPR on a rainy Sunday morning, BF and I spotted this little café boasting a robust breakfast menu and an empty window seat with a comfy couch. We were promptly greeted by a cheerful older woman who gestured towards the comfy couch and came back with water for the table in chilled glasses.
Although there was interesting stuff on offer as breakfast options, such as blinis and omelettes served in cast-​iron skillets (they even have a vegan breakfast!), I opted for the Eggs Benny with spinach and baked beans on the side ($ 14 for the meal and $ 2 for the beans.) For a drink I chose the «mocktail» Ginger Zinger– freshly squeezed apple and orange juice with fresh ginger ($ 6.50). BF got the «Big Breakfast» ($ 16) and a vanilla milkshake ($ 4).
My juice was amazing. I was feeling the after-​effects of the previous night’s alcoholic indulgences, and after a sip of this fresh juice I instantly felt better. BF’s milkshake was good as well.
BF’s Big Breakfast: poached eggs, (one of which was poached well, the other a bit overcooked) with a healthy portion of bacon, a fairly standard sausage, yummy mushrooms which were well-​seasoned and cooked in butter, half a grilled tomato, a deliciously crispy hash brown, and a thick slice of sourdough toast. Standard fare, but well-​executed. My Eggs Benny was the same– my eggs were perfectly poached, with plenty of sauteed spinach and served with a small side salad. The standout was actually the baked beans, which were uniquely spiced and flavoured, served in its own little dish.
They do $ 3 bottles of Stella, but are also BYO with no corkage. I really want to come back for cheap beer but also for the dinner offerings which look tasty and on the cheap side. Slavic dumplings? Polenta chips? Don’t mind if I do!
