I had a morning dentist appointment last Friday and was searching for a place to have breakfast on my way downtown. Having read that Cafe Stellina had started offering weekday breakfast, I looked forward to trying out the menu. Although Stellina had announced in their CHS-ad that they would be offering breakfast beginning at 8 am (and their answering machine confirmed this as the opening time), they were still closed at 8:30 a.m. last Friday. I then moved onto Oddfellows - who informed me at 8:45 that their kitchen now did not open till 9 (and food would probably be not ready till 9:15). This is a retreat from Oddfellow's initial concept as an "all day, all night neighborhood meeting place" that would begin serving at 7 am. At this point, I no longer had time for breakfast - so I just walked to my appointment. But I started thinking about sitdown weekday breakfast possibilities - here is what I can think of (please suggest additional venues in the comments):
Of all of these, the best options for vegetarians and vegans would probably be B&O (I love the Foul - and you can have it without the egg on top). VPC occasionally has a mushroom tart with a side salad that I enjoy.
