Really tasty food and very reasonable prices. Pretty quick too, for how busy it was.

3.5 overall. Good food, sauced up (guaranteed it won't be a bland/dry food item) and on the lines of minimal greasy breakfast food with flavour. The portion is the just right / could be snack size. Pricing is average - Food goes from $9-15. Doesn't come with any sides.

I’ve heard great things and was so excited to try this place. Unfortunately, I stood there for 10 minutes (no line), the girls saw me waiting to order and continued to chat and sip on their Starbucks. It didn’t appear that they were interested in working or helping me, so I left! Maybe next time will be better as all the other reviews seem great. Disappointed to say the least…

Located within the First St Market. The food was excellent. We got several items from a few different vendors and this was our favourite. The Benedict was extremely filling and delicious. The highlight for me was the brown sugar caramelized onions. Holy moly I can’t wait to go back some time.

I had a great experience with the food at Friends with Benedicts - we got the 'pillow talk', 'heads up sunglasses on', and 'all in burrito' for breakfast.Everything was cooked well. The burrito was packed with a good portion of egg, sausage, cheese, and pressed so that the tortilla is crispy on the outside. The pillow talk's tater tots were crispy & soft and there was a good balance between the cheese curds, sauce and sweetness of the brown sugar onions. The 'heads up sunglasses' on was a soft sandwich and I appreciated the microgreens adding a bit of crispness to it.Overall, a very good breakfast place at a reasonable price point. Definitely will be ordering from this restaurant again!

They make a very tasty egg sandwich, that much is certain. The inside of the first street market is a cool concept, but it does get extremely loud inside. Don't come here if you want to focus on getting some work done.There is a fair amount of seating but I could see how at a lunch rush you might be out of luck and have to get your order to go.

Excellent food, wonderful service and in an adorable quaint artisan market downtown. I may be biased as I work downtown so I go fairly often. They make great breakfast :)

Ordered a fried chicken on waffles, very disappointed. The chicken is over fried so it was very hard to cut. Very little meat, mostly the batter. The waffle has some vegetables flavour, maybe bad oil. It doesn't taste fresh. Totally a waste for a $15 breakfast.

How can you not visit a place like this, featuring such a clever name? I had the eggs Benedict with chorizo and enjoyed it a lot. It's a very different take on eggs Benny and I know some places do the same thing, but the execution was what separated it for me. Service was excellent and food is made to order.
