  Fast service, friendly owners, great bang for the buck.
  
  Breakfast is great. Compared to other places for breakfast, you get more food for the dollar here, though it could have more fruit.

  This is by far our favourite breakfast spot! They do serve a lunch menu, but we're obsessed with their breakfasts which are available at any time during their opening hours.
  
  It's a family love affair going here, as my whole extended family loves this place too!
  
  You seat yourself when you walk in and are brought coffee/tea within 1-2 minutes of sitting down.
  
  You can order breakfast off their white board of specials or choose more from the menu provided to your table. The white board breakfast specials are the best!
  
  My husband always gets the French toast special with sausages bacon and eggs for under $10 and loves how it comes out every time (& he's super picky!)
  
  I change up what I get, but the serving sizes are always more than you'd expect for such a low price! And the food comes within 5 minutes every time!!!
  
  It can get super busy up until about 1pm. The longest we've waited was 5-10 minutes with three parties ahead of us. I think because the food comes so quickly, the tables rotate faster.
  
  You never have to ask for a refill of coffee or hot water for tea as they check on you every couple of minutes and are always walking around with hot coffee.
  
  It gets pretty packed here on the weekends with a lot of under 30s coming in in group, seemingly after a fun night out. Everyone is always in a good mood here, staff and customers, and the place leaves you full and happy.
  
  The owners didn't have to focus so much on decor because the food honestly speaks for itself. It's a great little hidden gem & one I believe every edmontonian should try!

  Cute little hole in the wall breakfast hangout. Food is not incredible, but definitely not bad either. Prices are more then fair! Me and my girlfriend occasionally stop in here for breakfast. Service pretty great, and our food always comes quickly!

  Quaint little gem on 50th street, the Whistle Kettle has everything you want in a breakfast joint. Clean environment, friendly staff and holy cow - speedy service!
  
  Decor was a bit dated but in good condition and really that's all I care about. Food was above average compared to Denny's or Cora's and I'll definitely be back :)

  A classic Alberta diner, inexpensive breakfast served with smile. Had the veggie scrambler, shared it with my kid, it was perfect. Very fast service.
