I used to live in the area and Couzie's was one of my favorite secret spots, as it's tucked away on a quieter street. I recently had an appointment in the area and stopped off here for breakfast. Nothing's changed if anything this place is better! Tasty, healthy, fresh food served by cheerful, helpful staff.

It attracts a good clientele, everyone's nice, it's the type of place where strangers will say hello to you and not in a creepy way but in a friendly neighbourly way.

The food is solid, I always customize my order's and they always get it right.

I really love their breakfasts. I usually have the breakfast with eggs/sausage etc. and add a slice of french toast topped with fresh fruit salad as a side.

It's not that the food is the very best here, most things are delicious but overall other factor's beside the food make this place one of my favorites. The staff are well-trained to deal with the lunch hour rush, and they deal with changes to dishes without getting irritated. The place just has good positive energy.

I live in New West and often frequent Couzies for a good homemade breakfast and a great brewed cup of coffee!! They have good salads and homecooked soups! The baked goods are the best! I like to stop in while I do errands...have a gormet grilled panini. I sometimes take the Hot meals to go if I have no time to cook that evening!! They even send it in a heatable container, The cafe itself is quaint and nestled in a uptown aptmosphere, the staff is very sweet and attentive to the customers needs!! They even know some regulars customers by name. Would reccomend it anyone.

We went to this little cafe for Saturday brunch as a friend had recommended it but were perhaps overly disappointed since we had high expectations.

Food:
I had the Eggs Benedict ($7.95) and my wife had Couzie's Breakfast (2 eggs, 4 sausages, hash browns @ $5.95). Both I could have done better at home. Quality of food doesn't match the prices... you could get the same from Bon's Off Broadway but for much less.

Service:
Cafeteria style; order first and seat yourselves which is fine for us. Food took close to 20 minutes which is long for breakfast food.

Value:
For the quality of food and type of place this is, prices are way too high. There's the Waffle House around the corner which offers similar fair but at better prices.

Ambiance:
The one thing that stood out about this place is the heavy sausage/bacon grease smell that permeates. You really notice it after you leave and all your clothes and hair continue to smell like it... Either there's not enough ventilation or they're not cleaning their grease traps.

First time there, won't be back.
