Amber Kitchen and Coffee Brings Bold Brunch to Toronto’s Riverside
Amber Kitchen and Coffee has opened its doors in the heart of Riverside, and it’s already drawing in a steady stream of brunch lovers. Tucked into a cozy corner of the neighborhood, the café is small but full of personality. Inside, it’s bright and inviting, with clean lines and warm tones that make you want to settle in and stay a while. Whether you’re meeting up with a friend or working through a slow morning, it’s the kind of place that fits easily into your routine.
Brunch Dishes With Flavor and Comfort
The menu leans into brunch and lunch classics, but with some smart twists. One of the most talked-about items is the potato frittata sandwich — soft eggs, crisp potatoes, and a mix of herbs tucked between slices of bread with just the right crunch. It’s simple, filling, and satisfying.
Another standout is the chopped salad, built with fresh vegetables and leafy greens. It’s a good pick for something lighter but still flavorful. Then there’s the corn polenta with mushrooms and poached eggs — creamy, rich, and earthy. It’s the kind of bowl that feels warm and grounding, especially on a cool Toronto afternoon.
Here’s a quick look at the key dishes:
- Potato Frittata Sandwich – A Toasty sandwich packed with crispy potatoes and eggs
- Chopped Salad – Fresh, crisp veggies with a light dressing
- Corn Polenta – Creamy base with mushrooms and poached eggs on top
More Than Just The Food
Amber Kitchen and Coffee also pays close attention to what’s in your cup. The coffee menu is well-rounded, with everything from a standard espresso to carefully brewed pour-overs. The beans are thoughtfully sourced, and the drinks are made with care. It’s a great spot if you just want to sit with a good coffee and a book.
The owner of the café shared a bit about the vision:
“We didn’t want to make it too complicated. Just good food, good coffee, and a space people can feel comfortable in.”
That simple approach seems to be working. The café has a steady stream of early regulars and is starting to make a name for itself in the local food scene.
