After months of wanting to go there we finally did and it was delicious and I highly recommend it. These are the reasons why:
1. No wait! On a Saturday. At 1230. On a long weekend.
2. I had the feta basil tomato omelette with fruit and hash browns. So good
3. Great service, kind and always quick to refill coffee
4. Reasonably priced
No gluten free bread, but the food was so good I didn't need any bread.
Go there.
*note: it is called Blue VINNY and not Blue Vinyl as I thought it was. -

Boycotting this restaurant. Today I witnessed the owner (?) trying to circumvent the installation of the permanent trans and pride crosswalks on the street outside. Disgraceful behaviour, will not be spending my money in an establishment that clearly does not want me in there.

First time dining here with my partner while strolling the streets during Calgary Stampede Parade. We chose the egg bennedict for our brunch. We asked if we can switch the ham for salmon, but they only offer ham. The egg benny with ham and side of roasted potatoes with fruits was fresh and delicious. It was nice it was whole wheat english muffins as well.
But I think the hollandaise sauce is a little too thick, the poached egg was almost fully cooked (was hoping for the runny yolk consistency), and the potatoes could have been roasted a bit more.
--- Atmosphere ---
The customer service is average - but that's okay because he seemed to serve all the tables inside and was busy running around serving the dishes, coffee, bills, etc. I just remember he worn a quite a strong cologne, I could smell it whenever he walked past us haha.
--- Summary ---
My partner and I enjoyed the egg benny in general, we would likely come back again. It was reasonably priced around $13 as well. Coffee around $3.50 though. -

Came here for breakfast this morning after seeing a few reviews and since this was so close to the Hyatt Regency. Ordered the Mediterranean omelette with potatoes as well as the 2 eggs, bacon,sausage,toast meal. Everything was fantastic. My spouse loves omelettes and said this was probably the best omelette she had ever had! So kudos all around.

A good breakfast on a Saturday morning with no wait. I had the tomato and basil omelet with hash browns. Both were tasty and well cooked. My wife had the eggs Benedict and enjoyed he's as well.
