We were disappointed with the food and service, particularly after reading several positive reviews about their breakfast.

We waited over an hour for mediocre eggs benedict (eggs were overcooked) and a Monte Cristo sandwich (bread was hard and dry). The side of salad was fresh and the raspberry vinaigrette was good, but some of the potatoes were a bit undercooked. The ambiance is okay, I guess. The best part was the coffee.

As someone who often goes out for breakfast/brunch, this place is not worth the drive. Instead, check out Les Fougeres in Chelsea.

We visited the Heart and Soul Cafe for brunch last Saturday, and it was well worth the drive! It's not as much of a drive for us since we are already in Lanark County, but the Dunrobin location may be a bit of a hike for city-dwellers. That said - take the trip!

Its a lovely spot, in the rooms of an old farmhouse, and as Qster mentioned, the coffee (Equator) is great. Also, the food was perfectly done - I had the eggs benedict (see food review) and the FH had the "Classic", which remains a steal at $5.50!

Great bread, great side potatoes, lovely fresh fruit, friendly service - who could ask for more? Looks like it will have a cute patio in the summer - we will be back to check it out!

Caveat - they rightfully recommend reservations - we got lucky on the tail end of the morning rush.

The cutest little gem out in Dunrobin; I've only been twice and both times for breakfast but both times I've walked away completely stuffed and content. Everything here is made from scratch, the portions are huge and the coffee really surprisingly good.

The standard breakfast is incredibly filling and a steal for only $5.50. The hot chocolate is an indulgence, topped with loads of whipped cream and the pancakes are thick, fluffy and in the shape of a heart... some may consider it a gimmick but it still appeals to the child in me :D

Delicious eggs benedict at Heart and Soul! Miam miam miam. Nice hollandaise, and a pretty giant portion. Side potatoes get two thumbs up. Also kudos for the fresh side salad and raspberry vinaigrette! Very nice work.
