Eggslut is a California-born breakfast chain that officially launched its first Canadian location in Toronto on April 30, 2026. Founded by chef Alvin Cailan, the concept is built around an egg-centric menu that features high-quality, locally sourced ingredients, including organic eggs from Burnbrae Farms and fresh brioche buns from Circles and Squares Bakery. The King West space is a compact, semi-subterranean room with a small patio, situated in a high-energy neighbourhood that aligns with the brand's fast-paced, urban identity.

Visitors can expect a focused menu of breakfast sandwiches, sides, and the signature “slut”—a coddled egg served over potato purée. While the restaurant is popular for its indulgent, made-to-order approach, it has sparked local discourse regarding its price point compared to other breakfast options in the city. The shop operates daily from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Seating is limited, so if the small interior is full, nearby green spaces like Victoria Memorial Square and St. Andrew's Playground Park offer alternatives for enjoying your meal.
