March Break in Toronto: Why Lazy Daisy’s Cafe should be on your list!
by Dawn Chapman,
Founder & CEO Lazy Daisy’s Café & Lazy Daisy Foods
If you’re staying in the city this March Break and wondering how to keep everyone happy (and well-fed), let me make it easy for you: Lazy Daisy’s Cafe is the place to be.
Tucked into Toronto’s east end at 1515 Gerrard Street East, Lazy Daisy’s is the kind of place parents actually want to go during March Break: great coffee, proper brunch plates, and a few smart tricks to keep the kids busy so you can finally breathe.
Here’s why Lazy Daisy’s should be on your March Break list.
A Kids Menu That’s Actually Made for Kids (and Parents)
Let’s start with the real win: the Lil’ Daisies menu.
Some cafés offer a token grilled cheese and call it a day. Lazy Daisy’s does it differently. The Lil’ Daisies menu is thoughtful, comforting, and built around the same quality ingredients the grown-ups are enjoying. Best part, they’re all made with local, all-natural ingredients and are all under $10!
You’ll find kid-friendly favourites like:
Fluffy pancakes
Kid’s Brekkie
Mini Mac & Cheese
Cup of fruit
Selection of cookies & sweets
And, we do also have grilled cheese sandwiches, if that’s what the little hearts desire.
Lazy Daisy’s is known for hearty, from-scratch comfort food, so you know those little plates are made with care.
That means:
No scrambling to find something your picky eater will accept
No side-eye from staff if your toddler is being a toddler
No compromise on quality
You get to sip your coffee while your kids eat food they genuinely enjoy. That alone feels like a March Break miracle.
Colouring Pages = Instant March Break Win
Lazy Daisy’s has always been one step ahead when it comes to keeping little hands busy — the café provides beautiful daisy-themed colouring pages for kids every day. Picture this:
You order your coffee and brunch.
The kids grab their crayons and settle in.
Pancakes arrive.
Everyone is happy, calm, and (dare we say it) content.
It’s simple. It works. Parents get a few minutes to relax, enjoy their meal, and sip that well-earned coffee while the kids are happily entertained.
As a bonus for March Break, we’re also offering special Easter and Passover-themed colouring pages as a free downloadable PDF on our site — perfect for keeping kids busy at home or sharing with family and friends.
Walkable + TTC Friendly = Stress-Free Outing
One of the best parts about Lazy Daisy’s location? It’s easy to get to.
Located in Toronto’s east-end neighbourhoods of Leslieville and Little India, the café sits right along Gerrard Street East in a vibrant, family-friendly area. If you’re local, it’s an easy stroll. If you’re coming from elsewhere in the city, it’s fully TTC accessible.
No complicated parking hunts.
No downtown traffic stress.
No long treks with tired kids.
Just hop on transit, enjoy a short walk, and you’re there.
And because the neighbourhood itself is so walkable, you can easily turn brunch into a mini March Break adventure:
Browse local shops
Stop into nearby bakeries
Take a family walk through the area
Grab a treat for later
It feels like a little outing — without needing a full-day plan.
A Proper Sit-Down Meal (For You)
Let’s not forget about you.
Lazy Daisy’s is known for its hearty breakfast sandwiches, fresh-roasted coffee, and satisfying brunch plates. Whether you’re craving something sweet, savoury, or classic comfort food, we’ve got you covered. The vibe here is cozy, yet vibrant with bright and cheery daisy decor that would brighten any tired parent’s day!
Come in and enjoy:
Homemade comfort food (all natural, made with local ingredients)
Freshly brewed cup of coffee
A real moment to sit down and take it all in
And during March Break, that’s gold.
Parents spend so much of this week planning, driving, organizing, mediating sibling disputes, and figuring out what to feed everyone every three hours. Sitting down in a cozy café where someone else does the cooking feels like an actual break.
Make It a March Break Tradition
There’s something special about having a go-to place during school holidays.
A spot the kids recognize.
A table you always try to grab.
A favourite menu item they order every time.
Lazy Daisy’s has that kind of charm — the “remember when we came here last March Break?” energy. The kind that turns into tradition without you even trying.
And because they’re open every day for breakfast and brunch, it’s easy to fit into your schedule, whether you’re planning a weekday outing or a weekend family brunch.
