Karolina: My latte was fine, though I’ve had better.
I only tried a sip of the coffee, so I suppose I’m not
in much of a position to comment, but it didn’t wow
me.
LLBO licensed
Kate: School serves alcohol, but none of us ordered
any. I believe their cocktails were all in the $10-12
range.
Karolina: Drinks weren’t even on my radar! This is
the second time now. I’ll take one for the team an
order a beverage at our next stop.
The Food
Kate: School has a fairly comprehensive menu,
including unique takes on both sweet and savoury
choices, as well as freshly baked scones and donuts;
however, I was a little disappointed (and surprised)
to see that School didn’t have a standard eggs, meat,
toast, and hash browns on the weekend brunch
menu (though it is on its weekday menu).
I decided to get the Headmaster Omelette, which
contained Gorgonzola cheese, squash, and leeks, and
was topped with a red pepper relish; it was served
with lightly dressed greens. The omelette was pretty
good, though the squash was very sweet and after
eating about a third of my meal, it began overpowering all of the other flavours. I have made my opinion on breakfast greens known before, and I am still
not a fan.
My brunch companion got the Krispy Krunchy
French Toast – challah rolled in Rice Krispies and
orange marmalade, and dusted with sugar – with a
side of sugar-cured bacon. Though the French toast
was good (I also had a bite), he felt that $15 was a bit
pricy for only two slices, and the bacon was cold.
Karolina: After mercilessly critiquing their décor,
I have to say their food game was on point. I had
heard such great things about their cheddar and
chive scones, so I ordered one to go along with my
Huevos Rancheros. The biscuit was served with
honey butter and was delicious. The cheese and
chive flavours were very well balanc
