Barrie's kitchen table for 25 years
We've fed this neighbourhood since back when Bayfield St had half the traffic. Here's how we give back, who we buy from, and how to become part of the family.
Your cause, our kitchen
Schools, minor hockey, church groups and charities: pick a morning, bring your people, and we give a share of the day's sales back to your cause.
The people behind the plate
Made from scratch means knowing where it comes from. These are the local folks we buy from and the teams we cheer for.
Picked in Simcoe County every June and cooked down in our kitchen.
SampleHundreds of eggs a morning, all from down the road.

Birthday treat to confirmTwenty-five years of Saturday mornings
Since [year], The Breakfast House has fed Barrie from the same spot on Bayfield Street: regulars at the counter, families after hockey, and travellers coming off the 400 who heard about the waffles.
"Best waffles in Barrie and the coffee never stops coming. We've been regulars for years."
"Quick stop off the 400 on our way north. Huge portions, friendly staff, and the homemade jam is a must."
"Our Sunday spot. The Florentine benny is perfect every time."
