Bad Egg

What is Bad Egg? Perched along Richmond Street East just east of Jarvis, Bad Egg (operating alongside Bold Bites Co.) brings Korean-style egg drop sandwiches and diner comforts to the St. Lawrence and Moss Park border. Co-founded by David Polny and Karim Virani, the bright, casual room features bold graphics, cheerful yellow accents, and quick-serve counter seating alongside a co-located Juice to Go juice bar. It operates as a laid-back, grab-and-go hub that caters to neighbourhood condo dwellers, students, and downtown office workers seeking an indulgent daytime meal.

Bad Egg Menu & What to Order Fluffy toasted brioche and Japanese milk bread serve as the vessels for their stacked egg drop creations, loaded with soft-scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and their signature house Bad Egg sauce. The Holy Guac-amole and Turkey Club egg drops deliver heavy-hitting morning fuel, while the Bold Smash Burger with crispy edges and the Korean Chicken Poutine topped with cheese curds and gravy stretch the offerings far beyond breakfast. Round out an order with an order of fried dill pickle chips or a fresh fruit smoothie whipped up at the counter.

Know Before You Go This is strictly a walk-in, counter-order setup with no table reservations, meaning peak weekend brunch hours around late morning can generate a brief lineup. Street parking along Richmond is limited, making the Queen streetcar or a quick stroll from Queen subway station the most practical way to visit. Keep in mind the storefront runs daytime hours only, closing by late afternoon.
