The last couple of times I've been to OEB (not just downtown), I've noticed a downward tick in quality compared to when it first opened. Honestly, it's very hard to justify a visit to OEB when Rosewood is a block away and beats them at every possible level.

Now I'm getting a cruller craving.

^^ I've always found that OEB was about 2 or 3 bucks more than it should be. But what stopped me from going was the incessant rushing you out the door. I get they want to turn over the tables as quickly as they can, but getting prompted to settle the bill before I've finished my meal or coffee... yeah I'm done with that. Rosewood is better, and Craft's breakfasts are unknown/underrated if I'm in that area.

Are you sure Craft is open for breakfast? I was under the impression they only had weekend brunch starting at 11 am.

Yes, that's correct. Sometimes I eat breakfast late on the weekends.

For breakfast, there is also a Cora's downtown on 106 Street a bit south of Jasper Ave. I haven't been there for a while, but when I last went it seemed good.

Rosewood is exceptional! Their roast broccoli sandwich, which I realise sounds super weird, is one of those things I continue to dream about after having had it. So damn good. And those crullers?

Yup the Crullers are what kept me going when I worked downtown.

I have been known to buy two, one for me, one for my guy, and then...accidentally forget to tell him about it and eat both. I'm not proud but je ne regrette rien!

Commodore, District, De Dutch still top of my list.

I haven't been to De Dutch since Chantel died in 2022. She was my favorite server, always giving me a big hug when I walked in.
