Although it's a small menue that doesn't change so much, you get to enjoy what you love about it over and over and still keep loving it. Great place, great staff.
Currently the top-rated breakfast joint in town, according to Zomato (OEB is a large chain, not a joint). It did not disappoint. A bit cramped but the restaurant still has a nice ambiance. The focus on local, fresh, farm-to-table ingredients, and classic but well executed recipes, is apparent. I’d go back for the coffee alone. Be sure to try the homemade jam, which you can buy by the jar. Eat here. Enjoy!
Absolutely love their seasonal offerings. Price is a bit on the high side but you get quality, locally sourced ingredients, and unique combinations and dishes you can’t find anywhere else. Vegan berry crumble dessert was fantastic.
Went with my family on a Saturday for lunch. There was a 20 minute wait when we arrived but we were able to sit outside and we were offered coffee while we waited. The got us in faster than I thought it would take. The Calimexi fries are a must try!! I loved the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich. The ingredients were very fresh and the chicken was fried perfect! I usually don’t like breaded chicken but I really enjoyed this sandwich! Definitely will be returning there again with my family.
My husband and I came here for a late lunch, got in relatively quickly. Staff was nice and offered us a beverage while we waited. We were both satisfied with our order selections. I had some food restrictions and the waitress was understanding and accommodated my needs. Also the amount of food was generous (avacado toast🥑👍). Can't wait to return.
Wow! What a great vibe! The employees greeted us with the most beautiful, genuine smiles. It's small and cozy, so either go early or prepare to wait (we went at 815 am on Saturday morning, were the second ones seated, and in 15 minutes the place was full). We got the hillhurst breakfast sandwhich and the breakfast burrito with brisket with fruit on the side and a slice of cherry pie to share. The food was excellent and the portion size was perfect. The brisket was perfectly cooked but a little boring in terms of seasoning. We will definitely be back though, looking forward to trying a more traditional breakfast meat next time :p
I've been here several times, always wanting to return. The coffee is great, the servers are lovely and the atmosphere is cute and cozy.
The savoury stuffed french toast is my favourite, but I'd happily eat anything on the menu!
Exceptional food, seems to always be fresh ingredients. Been here a few times, the service has been off and on but the food definitely makes up for it!
I can't express how much I like Dairy Lane - from the retro diner decor to the super friendly staff to the incredible food (which uses ingredients from local producers), there's definitely a lot to love! Everything I've tried has been excellent - the Dairy Lane Burger ($14.5) and the Bowview Bowl ($15) are both highly recommended. Definitely give it a visit - you won't be disappointed!
Wonderful attentive service. Cool small little place. Great craft beers. Fantastic hummus. Very fresh vegetables, good burgers made from fresh beef seasoned to perfection. Great place for family's and friends. Will return soon!
Super cute place that you can tell is supported by a loyal community that keep coming back. The food is pretty good, reminiscent of a diner but made with love that is apparent from the friends running the place. They give you the feel that they are all sisters.
Seating isn't huge here, but a few tables and a lively atmosphere make it great place to pop by for a coffee or a meal!
Would definitely come back if in the area.
Excellent food, the wait-list process was easy (and we got seated way earlier than predicted!) and a very understanding location. Options for vegans/vegetarians, dog friendly heated patio and very reasonably priced. Would brunch again!!
Love this spot, especially the patio. Very cozy spot, in a great neighbourhood and has some nice views as you enjoy your meal.
As for the meal itself you get plentiful, good variety of combinations for each plate and the plates are very delicious. I loved the potato hash, chicken sausage and bacon. Eggs were well done and scrambled how I like but my fav part would be the sourdough bread. Such a great bread with some butter that tied everything together.
Went for a brunch on Saturday, so many good vegetarian options. We got burrito, tostidas, omelette, coffee and mimosas. Tasted alright, nothing phenomenal. Huge portion size, exceptional service, lively vibes. Small place so might have long waiting hours on weekend (make sure to reserve your spot online). Outside seating on a sunny day would be nice. We were 3 people and got seated on a corner table, felt it would be too conjusted so we requested for the table outside. It was bit chilly but they have heaters which did help a little. Before bringing in our order, our server asked if we wanted to sit inside as a larger table was available then which we happily took but sitting outside should be nice on a sunny day.
I felt like this place is a tad overrated. The food was mediocre to me or maybe it’s because of the dish that I ordered. But I had the hillhurst cheese steak benny, the steak meat was dry and tasteless, while the rest of the items weren’t very flavourful either. The potatoes that came with the dish was okay, but nothing special either and I definitely had to eat it with the ketchup because it was barely seasoned at all.
My partner ordered the omelette and he liked his dish well enough. The French toast was decent, nothing special though.
Overall an enjoyable experience based on the atmosphere and vibe, but that’s probably because we were on the patio and it was nice and sunny out.
It was around a 30 minute wait for food that did not feel worth it to me, I probably won’t come back again.
Want in and had these amazing sandwiches. Rather on a whim we went and it is so cute! Very small so get in while you can. The one serveruse was lovely nice young lady! The coffee is cheap and it's all you need in a good breakfast spot. Prices are a bit steep, but quality is worth it.
My friend and I came to The Dairy Lane Cafe for breakfast a few weeks ago and it was a very pleasant experience. The cafe is quite cozy/small but there is still plenty of space and the outdoor tables are very nice. The service was very good, friendly staff and food arrived in a timely manner. I had the eggs benedict which was a good portion size and very flavourful. I would definitely recommend trying the dairy lane cafe

My new favorite breakfast place! Everyone is so friendly and authentic. Their decor is quaint family deli. They have plexiglass dividers to ensure the safety of their clients and faithfully ask for a proof of vacation or rapid test at the door.
Now for the best part. Almost everything on the menu can be gluten free and dairy free (I am Celiac and dairy intolerant)! That is such a luxury for me.
The cherry on top is that their food is absolutely delicious. I ordered the breakfast tostadas and my hubby ordered one of their breakfast sandwiches (I have posted a fee pictures). They have a fun drink section as well. Their prices are acceptable for the quality service and food. I can't rave enough about how fun our experience was. You'll just have to check it out for your self. Enjoy!
