Top Brunch Places In Kensington Market, Toronto

With two locations in Toronto, Bunner’s offers a wide variety of baked goods, mainly catering to those who have food sensitivities. Their menu includes both vegan and gluten-free goodies, that always taste like ‘the real thing’. If you’re visiting for brunch be sure to check out their popular cinnamon buns or savory pockets, depending on what you feel like. You can also order a copy of Bunner’s – Simple & Delicious Gluten Free Vegan Treats, their cookbook to make your own baked goods at home!

Everyone loves a good bagel, and Nu Bügel is the perfect spot to snag a wood-fire-baked bagel with one of their twists. All bagels are boiled in honey water before being baked, which contributes to their unique taste and texture, and they are always made fresh and from scratch. The menu has a variety of classic bagels and sandwiches to choose from. Their most memorable sandwich is their Smoked Trout (or Chicken), a true menu standout.

It may sound like a weird combination, but The Dirty Bird Chicken + Waffles gets the combination right. Every chicken (hand-breaded and gluten-free) is a crispy and tender match to the giant, fluffy waffle that comes with each order, and the blend of the sauce and maple syrup are definite crowd-pleasers. ‘The Up North Trip’ is highly recommended, with 3 pieces of bone-in chicken with a waffle, buttered maple, and with a side of coleslaw or ‘ ‘Tato Salad’. You will definitely want to check The Dirty Bird out, if not for a late brunch, then dinner.

A nice piece of pie for brunch is always a good decision, and Wanda’s Pie in the Sky is the place to go. The menu offers a wide variety of pie flavors, but if pie (for some reason) isn’t your thing, they also have cake, cookies, tarts, and much more. If your sweet tooth isn’t quite awake at brunch, they also have a lunch menu which ranges from pizza and pierogies, to a variety of sandwiches. If you do go, be sure to check out their daily specials from Tuesday to Saturday.

KOS Café & Restaurant is perfect for the breakfast lover, serving it all day and for a good price. Their specialty is eggs, offering close to 20 types of eggs and omelets. They also have typical griddle breakfasts like waffles, French toast, and pancakes. Be sure to grab a side of their home fries which have received rave reviews.
