Eat! Eat!

Darlene and I hadn't strolled 9 Ave. in Inglewood for a long time, so when we walked through that lovely little neighbourhood yesterday, we noticed an eatery that we had not been to yet, let alone heard about, called Eat! Eat! As we stopped to check it out, we started drooling as we read the menu posted outside and promised each other we would go for breakfast - today - which we did.

Like most other places around town, the venue is small, cozy and requires a bit of a wait to get a table, but we didn't wait long. Once seated, we were reminded of why we drooled yesterday as we scanned the menu, looking for the perfect way to try their breakfast. Darlene had the French Toast served with maple pecan butter, which she loved. I had an ordinary eggs breakfast with sausages on the side. The home fries are real. The food is good. The menu has great variety - we're going to have to come back for lunch and maybe early supper some time.

What really sets this place apart though, is that they know how to run a customer-oriented business. Too often we've found ourselves at a trendy diner only to find that the service is lacking. Not at Eat! Eat! The people who work there are friendly and it's obvious they really enjoy serving their customers. And that - even more than the ambiance and the food - is enough to bring us back.

Eat! eat! is located at 1325 9 Ave. S.E. in Inglewood.
