Whistling Kettle Cafe

A good old-style neighborhood diner/restaurant. NOTE: Cash or Debit only. Three of us arrived around 09:15 on Saturday. It was nearly full. There's mostly booths for four with some added tables; it's fairly plainly decorated. The main items are listed on wall boards, but we asked for menus. Service was quick and friendly. Coffee arrived right away. We got two Killer Omelettes and a Srambler with rye and white toast. They too came quickly. The meals were hot and good sized, fairly plain but well made. The Scrambler was essentially a de-constucted omlette. The meals were tasty. The coffee was OK - light medium roast but one with a bit of a 'cereal' taste. We thought it was overpriced at $3, even for the 'bottomless' cup. The bill for three with tip was $58. Overall we recommend the Cafe for a good breakfast, but it's not particularly cheap.

A very popular mom and pop diner. Do not expect fancy anything here. Just good standard food. Service was exceptional and the price was right. Great for a quick stop for breakfast.

The food was delicious. I decided to go with the sirloin steak and eggs. I got the steak medium rare and my eggs sunny side up. Both were cooked perfectly. I'm always a little worried when ordering steak, because it can easily be a hit or miss, but the cook in the back definitely knows how to cook a steak. The coffee was delicious as well, topped up fairly often, and arriving at just the right temperature. The atmosphere at 8am was nice and cozy. Like a small town diner. Staff was polite and friendly. I was told by some of the regulars we could sit anywhere and when more costumers arrived they said good morning since we were close to the entrance. It was a pretty cool vibe. Portion sizes were generous. The cherry on top though was the price. That amount of food, at that quality, for that price. Left you feeling full at the end, but also very satisfied like you got your moneys worth. Especially, considering if you were to go to Starbucks or timmies down the street you would only get a couple trinkets and a coffee for the same price
