NORTHSIDE Espresso + Kitchen

Absolutely lovely experience here. We sat on the beautiful patio for brunch. Our waitress was lovely and provided super attentive service. I probably had the best iced latte ever here. Our food came very quickly as well. Already excited for my next visit!

What an experience! This cute Australian cafe delivered on all fronts. Service was warm and friendly, and they promptly moved us indoors as soon as it started drizzling. Now for the real star: the food was amaaazing. The Tim's Benny I got was the most satisfying breakfast I've had. The poach eggs were oozing with flavor and the deep fried potato bedding was just so crispy and addicting! Talk about a big breakfast. The Chai tea I got was also very yummy. It was the right balance of spice and sweetness. I liked how I was able to pour it out of the filter myself - don't worry, they'll tell you how to do it ; Overall, great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to give this place 6 stars if I could.

4.5 Airy and bright brunch spot with beautiful plants and a lovely side patio. I ordered the breakfast bowl- and it was very good but definitely more of a kale salad with an egg than a breakfast bowl. The avocado toast looked amazing and will definitely order that next time. Chai latte was pretty good- not amazing.

While I praise NORTHSIDE for their adventurous and locally sourced food, I believe some things are unfinished recipes. For example; the sandwich posted is 19 ish dollars, no sides or drinks. The textures were phenomenal but it was lacking flavour and something less greasy to balance the dish. The atmosphere is great but the value for your money could be improved.

Such an amazing brunch place! The food was fantastic, coffee was delicious, and the service was impeccable. A very bright and airy restaurant. We went around 10:30 and they could accommodate our table of 5 in about 15 minutes. They don’t take reservations so suggest going before or after the university crowd if you’re a big table.

Awesome place for breakfast/brunch. We are so glad friends recommended this and it is a stop for us whenever we are in town. Great service, and absolutely wonderful food!

This place can get pretty busy sometimes, so the service can vary. The food is pretty good but has some unique flavour profiles that you may not expect, an acquired taste maybe. The ingredients feel fresh and leave you feeling good after the meal, the ambiance is nice.

This is a lovely brunch place located downtown. The prices are competitive with other places in town, but the quality is much superior to other brunch places. The service is fast and friendly. But just note there can be a bit of a wait to get in and you cant wait in the restaurant when waiting for a table.Food: 5/5

If you’re looking for a cosy place to get your Sunday brunch, search no more. The staff is very nice and helpful. I tried the French toast who doesn’t look like your average French toast. My kids got the brioche with Nutella, oh my! And my mum had a kale salad. Everything was flavourful and we had to take it home because the portions were big. Just note that it’s quite popular so we had a bit of a wait but they sent us a text to let us know when our table would be ready.

super friendly server and cozy atmosphere as well as filling portions the avo toast was super flavourful and not bland at all it’s one of the best places to eat
