Boom Breakfast

What is Boom Breakfast? Anchoring College Street just west of Ossington, Boom Breakfast is an enduring Little Italy and Trinity Bellwoods morning mainstay originally established in 2003. The narrow, brightly lit dining room balances neighbourhood diner charm with contemporary warmth, sporting cozy booth seating, sunny front windows, and brisk counter service. It serves as a dependable neighbourhood canteen where regulars, families, and morning commuters congregate over fresh plates and bottomless drip coffee.

Boom Breakfast Menu & What to Order The expansive menu bridges classic diner comfort with health-conscious alternatives. Standout savoury plates include the Benny Boom—poached eggs over spinach or peameal topped with rich hollandaise—and the BFC & Waffles, which pairs crisp fried chicken with golden waffles and maple butter. Diners seeking lighter fare can opt for the California Spa-Malette, while sweet cravings are settled by stacks of fluffy blueberry pancakes and rich milkshakes like the Banana Choc Mudslide.

Know Before You Go Seating runs on a walk-in policy, so expect queues on weekend mornings between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The 506 Carlton streetcar stops right outside at Ossington Avenue, making public transit the easiest approach as College Street meter parking fills fast. The dining room operates seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m..
