McDonald's All-Day Breakfast Comes to Canada After All
By Thomas Kenzaki
January 6, 2016How many times has this happened to you? You arrive at McDonald’s right around 11 AM in the morning, step up to the counter to order a delicious McMuffin combo but are then told that breakfast is no longer being served.
What if I told you that one day this would no longer be a problem? That you’d be able to arrive at 11:30 AM, 3 PM or even 9 PM and still be able to order breakfast. This may soon become a reality, but there’s a catch!
Unlike in the US where McDonald’s has been rolling out all-day breakfast in regular restaurant locations, Canada is taking a different approach. What McDonald’s Canada has decided to do is launch standalone McCafe locations as part of a pilot project. The first two locations are now open in downtown Toronto. You can find them in the newly renovated Union Station and in the Exchange Tower.
Going with the cafe theme, you won’t be able to order Big Macs, Chicken McNuggets or even French Fries at these new McCafe locations. But you can get breakfast, including classic McMuffins, BLTs and Egg LTs along with their full range of McCafe beverages. If you're not in the mood for breakfast, they have McFlurrys. There are also brand new items such as an Apple, Brie & Honey Croissant (even more delicious than it sounds), an Apple Walnut Salad, a Savoury Chicken Noodle with Herbs soup and much, much more -- go ahead and view the full menu right here! Did I also forget to mention that you can order all of this using self-serve touchscreen kiosks?
As a self-proclaimed McDonald’s super fan, I can personally say that both the quality of the food and the service at these new locations far exceeded my expectations. With any luck we’ll be seeing these expand across Canada soon.
Have you been to one? Did you love getting an after-breakfast McMuffin? Do you want a McCafe location to open in your neighbourhood?

I have always had eggs and bacon even for dinner with my wife!
I prefer the breakfast menus at McDonald's than the garbage burgers and other items they serve!
May Burger King, Harvey's and other establishments serve breakfast all day and cater to the customers and expand locations in Canada!
