One thing about Karine's is for certain - they are busy and for good reason. They provide personal, gracious and welcoming service alongside their hearty vegan breakfast fare. We were only in Toronto for 3 days and ate there for breakfast twice - we should've went three times. Portions are big, fresh fruit is included with everything and when mom... More

Neat set up in a good location. I was excited to try it because it looked so cute and has a great concept. Unfortunately, overall the service and food were terrible! We went for a mid-week breakfast. There were a few people ahead of us but it was not busy by any means. They took our order and assured us... More

My husband and I had breakfast/lunch here after our one night stay in Toronto. I was so excited to be able to order vegan French toast that I forgot to specify which topping I wanted. And I wasn't asked. So I was a little (well more than a little) disappointed that it came out with strawberries and strawberry syrup on... More

There aren't enough compliments I can give to the food and the people who run this Toronto gem. I only discovered this place after people from my work kept talking about the "cool, hippie place" in the Grange. The food is always fresh, always delicious and the people just want to make food to make their customers happy. My regular... More

I had the lunch special and was very please with how much food I got for $5. It was really quite tasty and served on a ceramic plate- which is fitting is this is NOT typical food court junk. Yes, I was addressed with sweety and lots of smiles. Are we so cynical that this is a bad thing??? Go,... More

The owner is very friendly and generous and calls people Sweetie, but that is just her personality. Food court eatery with all day breakfast with some vegan options plus Middle eastern dishes. A lot of garlic imo.

Karine's restaurant is friendly, fresh and affordable! Maggie, Karine, Stephanie and their grandma are great - always smiling and happy.

this place scares me. The food is good, but the service is creepy. When complete strangers call me sweetie or honey, it makes me uncomfortable. you don't know me well enough to call me names like that.
