Brunch last Sunday with a friend after an intense workout. They had a wide range of gluten free options for her which pleasantly surprised her and is now on her list of brunch places :) Service: Wonderful service! Multiple waiters/waitresses came by to help, take our order, and make sure the food was okay and water was filled. Only thing is we didn't get any bowl of cornbread at our table :( I only noticed near the end of our meal that other tables had this so I was too stuffed to ask for it. Atmosphere: Love the cozy barn feel of the interior. We were lucky to be seated near the window though we did feel a draft every time the front door was opened. Food: I ordered a hot chocolate with whipped cream to warm me up and the Avocado Benedict which was an avocado split in half and baked with spices, pico de gallo, and 2 eggs on top and grits (wonderfully seasoned with enough butter and salt that I didn't have to alter it myself) on the side. I had ordered it with my eggs over well but it came out with my eggs runny which I realized wasn't what I ordered but thought nothing of because it tasted great until a cook came by with another plate ready to replace mine because they realized they'd given me the wrong order. I didn't want any food to go to waste so I ate both :) Very yummy and though I thought my one dish wouldn't be filling, I was over stuffed after two plates. Basically, moral of the story, order the Avocado Benedict with eggs runny! Oh also and the service here is wonderful :) read more

I ate here for the first time last weekend and was excited because I have never been and heard good things. Our wait was 25 minutes which wasn't bad for a Sunday around lunch time. The turnover is pretty quick which I like. We got seated right around 20 minutes. We sat around for a little waiting for a server to bring us menus and drinks. We had one server get us drinks after about 5 minutes than after our drinks we waited about 10 minutes and still had not received menus or ordered food. Finally we stopped someone walking by and told them and they thought we already ordered because we didn't have menus. The hostess could of messed that up or the server but we finally ordered our food. I ordered the classic eggs Benedict because that's my favorite meal to cook for breakfast at home. The food came out pretty quick which I like. The eggs were pretty small compared to the ones I make at home and the English muffins were not really toasted which I didn't like. The potatoes had really good flavor and were nice and warm. This place was pretty good, service was just a little confused and next time I'll try something new to eat. The price is also not too expensive. read more

Who doesn't love breakfast all day? Absolutely loved the menu at The Famous Toastery. They had so many different options, that it was frankly, hard to choose what you wanted to order. I felt like you can't go wrong with an Eggs Benedict, so I got the Cali Benedict, which had avocado and tomato. It was so fresh and a perfect blend of a meal. Also, let's talk about these breakfast potatoes. They were OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD. Seriously. They were perfectly seasoned, not dry and I just couldn't get enough. We will definitely be coming back to try other things. The Famous Toastery is nestled in at Waverly Place, so great parking and lots of great places to visit after your meal. read more

Famous Toastery - Cali Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

The food!! I could not decide between the French toast and the sausage & biscuits, so I got both!! I am so glad I did, both are fantastic!!

We waited 20 minutes and didn't get a drink or even a menu. A server came by at 5 minutes and says they'd help us right away. Then nothing. Couldn't get anyone to acknowledge us. Terrible service. Guess it's okay though because this was us giving them a second chance. The first time upset both my wife's and my stomaches (we think they have her a non-gluten free waffle when she told them she had an allergy, and my food was likely not cooked well enough). Guess we won't be back again. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Monday afternoon and scored a table with no wait. Our server, Edna, was pleasant, knowledgeable, made very good recommendations and was simply delightful. Five shiny stars for Edna. The Blackened Chicken Caesar Wrap was very tasty although I probably would not order this again. The reason that I order anything Caesar is because I love the tangy, lemony, garlicky flavors especially when combined with a bit of anchovy and paper-thin shavings of Parmesan. However, I was mostly tasting the seasoning on the chicken which was flavorful, but seemed to overpower the Caesar flavors. It wasn't spicy, it just had a lot of flavor. The mac and cheese was a $1 additional charge to upgrade from the regular side and was outstanding. Penne pasta with gruyere, parmesan, and ground black pepper. Generously loaded with cheese, it was delicious. I would order this as a meal and I would love to see it in a GF pasta. Hubby enjoyed his Buffalo Chicken Wrap and said it had a nice kick. Also notable is that the chicken wasn't fried. Rock on, Toast. read more

The newest restaurant over in Waverly Place is Toast Cafe, part of a small chain of sandwich shops in the Southeast. From the outside, Toast Cafe has got a pretty plain storefront along with a nice side patio with fountain. Inside, Toast Cafe goes a bit country and they've got a small lunch counter to the right. The place is bustling even though it's only been open a week, surprise! I guess this place must be good, huh? But this is my first visit so we shall see! Open from 7am to 3pm, Toast Cafe specializes in breakfast and lunch. Sandwiches and wraps from $7 to $10 with a variety of sides, I go with a meatloaf sandwich. Five minutes later, I get a nicely toasted sandwich with a side of creamy potato salad and pickle. The meatloaf is thinly sliced and layered with melted cheese and mustard, a bit different than your usual meatloaf sandwich. And it's very tasty with a good mix of cheesiness, tang and savory, yum! Service at Toast Cafe is very attentive, I must have gotten asked 8 times if I needed anything over the course of a 30 minute meal. I'm sure it's partially opening week friendliness but it shows that they've trained their staff well. And while the prices at Toast Cafe are a touch high, it's still not a bad deal here for lunch. So welcome to Cary, Toast! And yeah, I've got my diet Coke glass raised high for you.... read more

April 30, 2023 Sunday 0930hrs. Sanitation Grade 92.5 I gave them another chance today and went there by myself. Very friendly, helpful, and efficient staff. Ordered one pancake as they are rather large, sausage, and two eggs. Food arrived and the pancakes taste really good here. Sausage and eggs are as expected. Salt and pepper containers require you to grind your own salt and pepper. I like fresh ground pepper but I have medical restrictions on my hands and the pepper grinder was not "ergonomic". A little tricky for me to do. The menus here like many places are laminated to protect them. In most restaurants menus rarely ever get cleaned or even wiped down after they've been on many tables, handled by many people with unclean hands, coughed on, sneezed on, dropped on the floor, and stepped on. I am aware of this and always excuse myself from the table after the menus have been collected and wash my hands. Today I saw a staff member drop a few menus on the floor as she was collecting them from a table she was working, pick them back up off the floor, and stack them with the others for reuse. It kinda grossed me out.... but like I said I always wash my hands after the menus leave the table, no matter what restaurant I am in. I don't fault this restaurant for doing what any other restaurant also does, but actually seeing it just grossed me out.... Or seeing some young child licking the menu or coughing and sneezing all over it with snots flying out of his/her nose right onto the menu as they hold it with dirty hands or throw it on the floor where it gets slid around and stepped on. But that's just me. It's not a bad restaurant, the food is good, and the staff is very friendly and nice. They or any restaurant really can't control what customers do to their menus. Just be aware of it and wash your hands after the menus leave the table. read more

I ordered the regular french toast - with no powdered sugar. I was served 6 triangles of TOAST! it had not been dipped in egg like traditional french toast - it looked like griddled toast! Definitely not worth $12.00! I also ordered the potatoes as a side - they were cold. Otherwise, the fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious! read more

I have driven past this place countless times and we finally had some time to drop by! I was craving a quality diner food experience, especially the coffee, and it did not disappoint. We arrived on a Saturday at 10am. Outside patio was packed, and it was still busy inside as well but we had no wait and were seated immediately and given cornbread /an apple cinnamon spread while we read the menu. I ordered the Cali eggs benedict, which was an English muffin topped with avocado, tomato, egg and hollandaise served with your choice of side, I went with the potatoes. Husband ordered the French toast combo, with scrambelled eggs, sausage and an extra pancake on the side. Service was lovely and fast. The gentleman who took my order made a point to explain to me the difference between a soft and medium poached egg when I asked for soft, I guess he's gotten complaints before but I reassured him that yes, I do want a runny egg, lol! Coffee was exactly what I wanted, a large heavy mug full of diner goodness. Food was well cooked, solid portion and delicious, my eggs were 50% correct, one lovely soft poached, the other almost hard but it was still acceptable. Hollandaise was good. Their potatoes are boiled red potato that are smashed and only seem to lightly kiss the griddle, they were seasoned very well but personally I like them a bit more crisp. Husband thoroughly enjoyed his entire meal and pancake. Tables were a tad sticky, you can see on the edges of the bits around the table that the place needs to be dusted but I think that's par for the course for a "diner type breakfast" Not sure about their lunch offerings, and the place closes at 3pm FYI, but I'd def come back for a coffee and a hearty breakfast. read more

Ok, Been to this location several times.. It seems when Steve, Mgr. here, the service is not very good! today., Coffee is luke warm, old, biscuit dry day old, turkey bacon barely warm and dry. Service, not so good. had to ask for utensils, jam for toast, repeat a simple order. There, are other times all is great! P.S, Also, Steve the Mgr. is arrogant, rude and presents a not so interested attitude! read more

Swanky, new breakfast/brunch restaurant that just happens to be located in my favorite shopping center, Waverly Place. The outside is very inviting with a great structural design and an outdoor seating area. The interior looks more like an upscale restaurant than your typical breakfast spot. I was greeted immediately and offered a drink while I looked over the to-go menu. The Avocado Omelet was the first thing to catch my eye! With three of my favorite foods (avocado, bacon and tomato) and parmesan cheese, you can't go wrong. My order came out quickly and the host, noticing that my hands were full, opened the door for me. As I finish my review, I am also nearing the end off this mouthwatering, fresh tasting, delicious (redundant, I know) omelette. Toast is a little pricey, so I won't be coming everyday for breakfast. Perhaps once a week or so :-) but you definitely get your monies worth! read more

I loved Toast during my years in Charlotte and was pleased to see their presence increasing in the Triangle. I'm hopeful that Toast will attract more business to Waverly Place as it's a very nice shopping center and has potential. As for Toast itself, I took a friend to brunch on a Sunday and got in early before it filled up. Service was very quick (from multiple servers). The portion of the omelet I received was plentiful, and the cornbread nice and soft as it should be. Hash browns are not shredded potatoes, but more coarsely sliced - seasoning was still good. Enjoyed my brunch at Toast and hope more people in Cary give it a chance. read more

Waitress was not attentive. The latte was tiny, maybe 4 Oz for $6? not worth it. The flapjacks weren't fluffy & didn't come with any sides so to have fruit & bacon added $9 (4.50 ea) to the breakfast. BLT was tiny Bread & one tiny slice of tomato, could do better anywhere for $13. Had flag waitress down for water refills & check. Mid week -not really busy. Will NOT RETURN. BRIGS is great alternative! read more

This was my second time here and another disappointment. Took plenty of time to get greeted by our waiter, though he was friendly enough. Our orange juice was warm which made it slightly unpleasant. I order the "famous hash" which was kind of bland, but ok. My wife and 2 year old ordered pancakes and almost every one was obviously undercooked. We would've asked our waiter for a new order, but he never came back to check on us(there were several open tables so not too busy). When I went to pay check the cashier never asked how our food was(which is always the first pleasantry at any diner), so at this point neither our waiter nor cashier cared if our food was good, so I advised her anyway that it was not. She brought out the manager who gave me a card that issues me a free breakfast next time I'm there. Lovely, third time must be the charm. read more

Even after we received a 25% off (after they asked how everything was) of our lunch we still felt as if everything was overpriced for the food quality and portion sizes. My husband's quiche consisted more primarily of onion and egg with cheese thrown in and very little sausage ( he counted 3 small pieces). The gluten free French toast was bland without much expression of flavor. The bread seemed a little hard - not sure how much gluten free they use here. The turkey sausage I got was served at room temperature. The Morrisville location was better. read more

Food was good ! Service was lacking. We had Jennifer G as our server and she was careless and not friendly at all. May be back but definitely asking for a different server if we get her again read more

The bar has reopened, more staff, friendly and attentive. This place is making a comeback.

As a restaurant owner I have never been treated so badly at a restaurant ever! The so called hostess when I walked in said what do you want? Aren't you supposed to greet your customers and make them feel welcomed. Then when I was seated I mentioned to my server that the hostess was rude and what does he do he asked her to be my server! NEVER AGAIN and with a lousy score I'll make sure to complain to the Wake County Health inspector! Also I believe that the owner of the building needs to know how they choose to mistreat their customers because in the restaurant business your customers are EVERYTHING! read more

Very disappointing given the hype and price. We were the only two customers in the restaurant when we got there. Another customer came in 15 minutes after us and got his food within minutes while we had been waiting (and FREEZING in that icebox). When we finally got our food it was bland and lukewarm. So we wasted $40 for an order of pancakes, biscuits with gravy, a coffee, and a Diet Coke. If it had been $20 it would have been disappointing--at $40 it was just a joke. read more

If you are looking for a cute brunch spot that you know is consistently good - this is the place! They have an extensive breakfast menu (with gluten-free options) and a good looking lunch menu. While moving to Raleigh, my mom and I went in around lunch time and they were packed. We were quickly seated and attended to. I love their philosophy of not having one server but whenever you need something you grab whoever is closest. I think this is how they get people in and out so quickly and efficiently. I ordered gluten-free cinnamon raisin toast. It was ok. I assume they use Udi's gf bread and make it into french toast. I had a side of turkey bacon and was not impressed. They happily replaced with real bacon (always better!) My mom had an omelet, toast and potatoes. She was extremely pleased! Already planning to bring friends back when they visit. read more

Sooooooo I was super hungry and this place was nearby. I wanted so bad to enjoy my dining experience. But alas, it was not to be. I wanted to be adventurous and try something different. Well that will teach me. I chose the breakfast pizza. It was pourly executed. It just ended up being a lot of cheese on top of eggs with pita bread on the bottom. It looked and tastes like poor college student food. I wish I had tried the stuffed french toast...Having said that the service was great and staff super friendly. read more

The lack of consistency in the food and service does not justify the price of the food. Save your money and spend it at other places.

Cute place also has outside sitting if interested. Came here while visiting for a Carolina for a couple of days. Ordered the famous hash with a coffee and a French toast for the table. The famous hash was good, but different. It's not prepared the same way as in the NY area. Nonetheless the food was still fresh and good. The food cams out fast as well. They have a rule where anyone can serve you or help with get something not just the person that took ur order. My nephew got an eggs Benedict with turkey sausage instead of Canadian bacon. My niece got an order of fresh toast and my husband ordered Florentine Benedict with grits. Overall, great service, food was fresh and fast. We weren't use to getting our food so fast being from the NY area. And they accommodated my husband my making him a drink he requested that wasn't on the menu. Hope we can be back soon ! read more

If you are looking for good food, do not come here. The food is mediocre. They offer simple breakfast food and I found it to be average. I had a Greek omelet. The omelet was dry and bland for a Greek omelet. Pretty sure you would not find anything like it in Greece. Their potato's were crispy, seasoned and decent. Also, the toast was a pass. Typical toast, nothing to justify the name Famous Toastery. If the toast was messed up,I would be appalled. On the other hand, the service was quick and courteous. It did not happen to be very busy at 10 am on Monday morning. Also, I liked the outdoor space. It is nice if you are with kids because they have space to roam. My daughter loved the beautiful outdoor fountain. Nice touch. read more

So breakfast or Brunch on a sunday morning is quite challenging. Toast knows how to get orders up and onto cusotmers plates in a jiffy. A party of 9 wasnt a problem either. We all got exactly what we ordered the FIRST time we requested, funny how larger parties always have one order wrong... but not at Toast! That should tell you the service was pretty satisfactory. The menu, it's got many choices, in particular FRENCH TOAST (hence the name)... i was pleasantly surprised to see one of my personal faves, banana & peanut butter stuffed french toast. Oh happy day... and it was made as i would make it... Don't want french toast, there's omelettes, and lobster rolls and other fine fare. All very tasty. read more

I would like to compliment Famous Toastery for outstanding treatment August 18. My sister and I just came from the vet having to put her oldest and most beloved cat down. An emotional and upsetting time. We came to the FT around 2:40 and even though the staff was cleaning and obviously getting ready to close we were seated and treated as if we were the only ones there, which we were. We ordered our meals , again great food and impeccable service , and we're not rushed or hurried along so we were able to commiserate over events in a most quiet and comfortable way. Thanks FT for your great food and great services. We always make it a point to visit. In this day this was a remarkably kind experience. Thank you read more

I've come here several times, I wanted to give it a good chance before I reviewed. Pros Food is always great. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. Probably some of the best hollandaise you can find for the price point. Eggs are free range eggs. The fresh juice is amazing. Bathrooms and restaurant is always clean. Cons The food can be a bit pricey for a casual breakfast. For two people expect to pay at least $30-$50. They are definitely not kid friendly. Expect to walk in with a child, ask for a highchair several times and never receive one. The service is consistently terrible. Waitstaff treats you like you are a nuisance. Expect to see your waiter once or twice, to take your order and drop the check, and to chase down a waiter for anything you might need like syrup or a coffee refill. It's easy to find them, usually congregating at the bar or server drink station talking to each other while you make eye contact with them desperately wishing they would come to your table. Definitely stick to TO GO because the food is consistently good, service is so bad it's not worth it. I would rather tip the cooks. read more

Very tasty food. I ordered eggs benedict with roasted potatoes (with mushrooms and cheese), orange juice and a macchiato. Their orange juice is natural and has the perfect flavor. They use Lavazza coffee, so it was a perfect strong coffee. It is so hard to find perfect food, drinks and service at the same place. That's why I loved this place. Highly recommended. read more

The food was good and Skylynn was really nice and helpful! We went here for my mom's birthday lunch and the atmosphere was perfect.

My omelet was delivered cold AND without the gruyere cheese I had ordered. My wifes quiche was the wrong one she ordered. I ordered toast, but I had to ask for butter! She ordered the one with bacon but was given a mushroom quiche. AND when they did deliver her quiche it did not have any bacon as the menu stated. It had ham, and it had sausage, but no bacon. I ordered coffee and received none (I wasn't charged for it either). Also, not once did our server check on us after we received our meal. Sloppy, very sloppy service. The check out person did offer to discount our meal. We didn't take them up on their offer, we did eat the meal. How about just plain ol' pay attention and take care of your customers? read more
