About Cafe 85
Cafe 85 is a weekday breakfast and lunch counter at 695 Bay St. that opens early (7 AM Monday through Friday, 8 AM weekends) and closes by 4 or 5 PM. Best for downtown workers who need a reliable daytime meal without a reservation, or weekend brunch seekers willing to trade menu transparency for walk-in ease. Lunch is busier than breakfast; weekends offer a quieter room.
Cafe 85 is a Toronto venue with verified daytime hours: Monday to Friday from 7 AM to 4 PM, Saturday and Sunday from 8 AM to 5 PM. The verified dress code is casual. Beyond those basics, details such as menu items, pricing, reservations, capacity, chef information, service format are not confirmed here, so plan a first visit around the published hours rather than unverified specifics.

Cafe 85 operates in a different lane from Donatello and Adega Restaurante, both of which anchor their reputations on dinner service and published menus. If you need a daytime counter with no booking friction, Cafe 85 wins on convenience and early-morning access. If you want transparent pricing and a known menu before you walk in, Bangkok Garden and Osmow's Shawarma deliver that clarity at the cost of slightly less central geography.
Barberian's sits at the opposite end of the formality spectrum, with a disclosed wine program and a reservation-required dinner format that makes it a splurge-night choice rather than a casual weekday default. For regulars who rotate among downtown options, Cafe 85 is the easiest to book (no booking required) and the fastest to exit, but offers the least menu detail upfront. Choose it when time and location matter more than culinary polish, shift to Donatello or Adega when you want a sit-down evening meal with verifiable credentials.
