Really cool and quaint spot with excellent service. Everything is fresh. Their scones were the highlight - as well as their pickles. Hot turkey sandwich tasted like thanksgiving dinner!

Highly recommend the hot turkey. Super delicious and love the savoury and sweet combo plus the maple butter is next level. The French toast is also seasoned really well and has a one-of-a-kind flavoursThe meat loaf dinner was also good. Meat loaf is seasoned and cooked perfectly and you get the biscuit with it. However the grits are a bit bland.Never walk in unless your here at opening. Make sure you make a reservation from their website 2h in advance because it's a small restaurant.

Food is great but there is an employee who is the worst. She walks around with a dumb smug look on her face like she’s too good to be here. Fire her she’s useless and has zero hospitality.

This isn't your average diner! White Lily takes classic favorites and elevates them while maintaining a homestyle feel. Couldnt recommend the patty melt, ceaser salad, and hashbrown with malt mayo more! Cocktails looked great though I just had a cup of coffee.

We were there for Sunday brunch at 9:30 and got a great booth by the kitchen. Perfect for watching all the great food being served up. The playlist was on point and atmosphere excellent. We had a hard time choosing what to order because the options were all pretty intriguing. We ended up ordering The Standard (with a biscuit, influenced by kitchen views) and the Hot Turkey. The portions were generous and flavours perfectly combined. I will be dreaming about the Hot Turkey French toast combination from now on. And definitely don’t skip on the biscuit. Worth the visit and we’ll certainly return again.

The diner is small and nice. Really good vibes and service. The breakfast sammy was delicious and the thick cut bacon was well cooked. Comes with salad and sweet potato salad. The rhubarb donut was a nice finish to brunch too.

Ok so this place is apparently on the Michelin guide but honestly I’ve had better breakfast in Toronto. We had just a normal breakfast (eggs, bacon etc) it was all good and done well and the iced coffee was yummy but nothing to write home about. We also had the donuts and I thought the donuts were 2.5/5 they were not that great so I’m not sure what everyone was raving about. The wait is crazy and we went mid day on a Friday. I would say solid (hash browns slapped), but not worth a crazy wait (it is a virtual wait list but still it’s a long time), and it was very expensive for breakfast food, but that’s Toronto I guess.

Everything about this diner is utterly amazing, but I’m especially ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with the hash browns!!! The hashbrowns here with the malt mayo are the best thing ever , I literally live across the street so i end up getting hashbrowns literally every other day because I can’t help myself?

didn’t expect there to be a long wait on a wednesday but that’s my fault ? they do use a very neat waitlist platform that lets you track your place in line and how long you’ve been waiting, updating in real time. we arrived a little before 1pm and waited about an hour. but there’s lots of cute shops in the area and it was a really nice day so i didn’t mind!the food was fantastic, we got the reuben and the southern breakfast. the orange stuff in the reuben photo is the sweet potato salad (so good!) i absolutely love grits and the biscuits were so so so so so good, fluffy and moist. they also sell biscuit mix! maybe i’ll try it.

IG @kameljaHonestly, I feel my expectations were just too high. I’ve heard a couple of people rave about this place and I thought it would be really above and beyond. And while the food is delicious, yes, there’s nothing extraordinary about it. Great spot if you’re in the neighborhood but I wouldn’t travel for it.
