Poor John’s Cafe is a little place in Parkdale who gave themselves a facelift for their 5th Anniversary, congratulations!
I’ve been here a few times, before their transformation, at the behest of some locals… that’s how you know they’re good, local word-of-mouth. Likely has to do with their commitment to genuineness… John’s mom bakes the bread, Kristine is using her mom’s curry chicken recipes, like that.
Meet owners Khristine and John, their work ethic is impressive.
Below is chef Brenden, and what I recommend you order.
Go for the french toast or their signature sandwich the BAM – brie, avacado and mango. Those were my favourites and guys: you got me to eat fruit, good job, that’s tough to do.
Click here for their Facebook page, and they’re throwing a party December 11 which might be a nice place to take your date.
All day breakfast, liscensed, a summer patio, fair trade coffee and a free psychic reading the first Wednesday of each month.
(Lastly, in keeping with full disclosure, I was invited here and my meal paid for).
