We’ve been here twice, and both times the breakfasts were fantastic. Everything was delicious, and the portions were large. The sheer number of breakfast options is truly astounding. I recommend choosing your dish in advance, as you’ll spend a lot of time perusing the menu. During peak hours, the restaurant gets completely full, so it’s best to reserve a table—this place is truly worth a visit.

Bagel Cafe in downtown St. John’s is awesome. The atmosphere is cozy, the seating is comfortable, and it’s a really nice place to sit and enjoy your food. I tried the Fundy bagel (nova lox) and it was so good—fresh, tasty, and made really well. Definitely a great spot to stop by if you’re downtown.

Update:
I came here again with my husband. I had a touton with molasses. Service was quicker and friendlier this time but the music is still really, really loud and the touton was really thin, dry and tasteless. I’m sure people love it here, but if you like a higher standard quality and taste, Bagel Cafe is not the place to come for it.
The exterior, entrance and interior restaurant decor was eclectic and reminiscent of British/Irish pub style ambiance, with wooden and stone flooring, tables and booths and stained glass decor plus Tiffany style lamps. The restaurant was small, with booths and tables fairly close together but not so much as to feel crowded or uncomfortable. There was often a cold draft whenever patrons entered or exited due to the small size of the restaurant. The decor and lighting was subdued, ambiant and lovely; however, the music, although pleasant enough, was rather loud and at times made it difficult to hear my husband speaking which was somewhat annoying and uncomfortable.
I had the Belgian Waffle (berry and banana) with bacon, a side of hashbrowns and a side of scrambled eggs and my husband had the Newfounland Benedict: 2 fish cakes, two eggs benedict, smoked salmon covered in hollandaise sauce with hashbrowns. For all I absaloutely loved the ambiance of the restaurant, the initial service was very slow (to take our order). The first waitress seemed rather irritated and unpleasant but the second waitress was very pleasant and accomodating. The food arrived more quickly than expected as well.
I really, really hate giving these lovely little, local restaurants any negativity at all so I always focus on the positive first but the meal I had was very disappointing. The hashbrowns were really large potato cubes (bigger than I usually see as a hashbrown) and I’m unsure if they were cooked from frozen or not but they were not bad and there was a large quantity. The scrambled eggs were okay. There was no bacon at all (although it was supposed to come with my waffle). Unfortunately, the waffle itself was the most disappointing. It was very dry and crumbley (like it had been frozen and reheated in a microwave) and the berries were reheated from frozen and made the middle of the waffle soggy. The bananas were fresh. There was only cheap pancake (corn) syrup – no actual maple syrup – as well. My husbands meal, however was fantastic and delicious, aside from the hashbrowns. He also very much enjoyed the coffee.
All in all, I would return again, but I will not go for the waffles, pancakes, French toast or toutons. I will most likely try a sandwich on my next visit. Hopefully it will be a better food experience.

We loved our breakfast here – had my first toutons ever, with my meal, which were delicious. The menu is staggering – so many options. We sat upstairs which I preferred, a bit quieter than the lower level. I would highly recommend this spot, we had a great experience – super friendly and helpful staff as well

Extensive breakfast menu with lots of sweet or savory options . Good portion sizes. We were told that the fish cakes are made in-house and decided to give them a try. Unfortunately, we were disappointed by them – They basically tasted like big balls of mashed and deep-fried potatoes and couldn’t see or taste any fish in them.

Visiting St. John’s for the first time.. was very happy to find this place. Tried the Newfoundland Benedict and Blueberry French toast which were both pretty good. I just wish there was actual maple syrup instead of table syrup. Will definitely come back.

Went for breakfast and it was so good, we ended up back for dinner! Lobster was delicious, but so were the sides! The homemade carrot cake was so tasty and our server just the sweetest!!

Might be my new favourite breakfast place in my travels this summer. Love the eccentricity of everything inside this restaurant. The 80’s/90’s music playing was trippy. Serving staff were very pleasant, seating was quick. Food was fine. Ordered the Cabot Tower, not because I was heading back out onto the sea but because I could. Eyes were bigger than my stomach for sure, but didn’t care.

Voted the best breakfast in St. John’s for good reason! My husband and I enjoyed our visit so much we came back again the next day. Quirky charming decor supported by hearty portions of delicious food. I don’t have good coffee in my hotel so I thoroughly enjoyed the giant mug I received shortly after being seated. Reminds me of a cross between the old Baker Street Cafe in Ottawa and Serendipity III in New York. Worth a visit (and another, and another…!)
