Founding Story

Founder Rebecca Risen has delivered two babies at Mount Sinai Hospital, both times experiencing unexpected complications. Thanks to the Sinai Health teams, technology and treatments, both Mom and babies ended up with optimal outcomes. backTObrunch was born out of an effort to express the Risens’ gratitude and to ensure Sinai Health continues providing world-class care to all its moms and babies.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will my delivery or pick-up window be confirmed?
We will contact you 2-3 weeks in advance of the brunch to confirm your preferred pick-up time, or provide you with an accurate window for delivery once the schedule has been mapped out. Please note that we are not responsible for food safety once items have been delivered.

Can I make changes to the menu?
We are unable to accommodate any menu changes. For any allergies, please contact us at backtobrunchsinai@gmail.com.

How much fridge space do I need?
In order to deliver a seamless, delicious and beautiful brunch experience, food items will be packaged to make preparation as easy as possible for you, which requires space. As such, please clear your fridge in advance to accommodate all menu items and accompaniments that need to be refrigerated, especially for boxes of 4-6.

Can I send a brunch as a gift?
Absolutely! Surprise and delight a client or a loved one with a delicious brunch and a meaningful contribution back to Sinai Health. You will be able to confirm the delivery address you want a brunch package sent to. If you’d like us to include a personalized note with your order, let us know at backtobrunchsinai@gmail.com.

How do I participate if I am outside of Downtown Toronto?
Boxes are available to those within 50km of the Downtown Toronto core (with postal codes beginning with M or L). If you’d like to coordinate a delivery for outside of these parameters, please contact backtobrunchsinai@gmail.com and we’ll see what we can do!
