IKEA
IKEA Breakfast Buffet
You get what you pay for. $5 for these two "meals"...and I would rather just have toast at home. I've never been to prison but I imagine this is what the food would taste like. Scrambled eggs full of water, dry pancakes, soggy french toast, I think the bacon wasn't cooked but dyhydrated in a science lab somewhere? As there is no service, it's a get your own forks put away your own dishes place, I have to score 0 out of 10 for service. The servers actually dishing up the gruel and taking your money are clueless, I'm not sure if they spoke English because nobody spoke to us. For atmosphere I give it a 1 because at least their were chairs there. The 1 point for food is for the potatoes, apparently they were ok. I'd pay an extra $2 and go to A&W next time for an edible eggs and bacon.
Food quality and taste = 1 out of 10
Service and atmosphere = 0 out of 10

New York Bagel Cafe
Bocochini and Bacon Eggs Benedict on a Pumpernickel Bagel
"Joe's" Bacon Eggs Benedict on a Cheese Bagel
Espresso with a side of milk, a table full of condiments, and a Mocca
The food was delicious. We all had different Eggs Benedict's on Bagel and everyone enjoyed their choices. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the sauce was a great balance and I had the boccohini and bacon topping which was so rich I didn't need to eat for the rest of the day.
The serving sizes are large, so come hungry. The prices range from $15 to $19 for a plate of Eggs Benedict which is high, if you're not starving I would recommend sharing one, and getting a smaller meal on the side too.
The decor and feeling of the place is cosy and cute, with sweet homey mugs and quirky posters around the place.
It took two attempts to eat here, last weekend we tried going for lunch but it was so busy that the wait would have been over two hours. This week we had a group of 6 people so we tried to get there as early as possible, 10am. Luckily, as a foreigner I had forgotten that most people would have been out last night celebrating Halloween, so New York Bagel Cafe was empty at 10am! Win! We got a great table and they served us quickly.
As we had a group of over 5 they added a 20% gratuity to the bil straight away, despite the menu only saying a 15% gratuity would be added. The staff were friendly but despite it being quite, very slow to take orders, forgot a drink and the meals took a long time to come out. As we were busy chatting away we didn't mind the excuse to stay a little longer.

Atmosphere and Service = 8.5 out of 10
