My absolute favorite breakfast place!! The service is always great and the food is terrific!! Any way you want it you can have it. My favorite are the omelets but there are a vast array of breakfast choices and lunch choices. A perfect go to. read more

Had brunch two weeks running at Toast ... definitely the place to go for brunch in town. I had lobster rolls and the most delicious little cucumber salad ... wonderful despite the $$. Have also tried their full breakfast - fried eggs, bacon, hash browns with a blueberry pancake (flapjack) on the side - wonderful batter, chock full of blueberries. Delicious orange juice and mimosas. Super friendly, helpful service - puppies allowed on the rear patio. Lovely walk through Davidson College grounds to work off the calories afterwards. read more

Toast is awesome! I am not sure I can say more than the other 98 reviews, except that go early on the weekend, because it is packed!

I'm not a breakfast guy, but every time I have guests in town, I drive the twenty minutes to take them here. The cozy Stars Hollow-type feel, the unreal stuffed French toast, the crepes, the everything. It makes me question why I'm not a breakfast guy until about two hours after and I want to take a sugar-induced nap until dinner. Go here! Take your friends! Yell at people on your way in that you're going to Toast! If they look at you funny it's jealousy, pure, lustful jealousy. read more

Good food with prices that could be lower, but nothing too outrageous. They serve breakfast into the afternoon which is great, but don't even think about trying to get a table on a weekend morning. You're looking at a wait of over an hour any week of the year. read more

Food is good here but the French toast has too much cinnamon in it. Get the pancake instead. Don't expect an amazing breakfast like the flying biscuit, but eh...she'll do. Service is kinda slow. read more

1st timer. The ambiance is great: hometown diner, great, historic atmosphere in the little town of Davidson across the street from beautiful Davidson College. I thought the prices seemed a little high: $10 for bfasts, sandwich lunches, salads, etc but the quality and portions made the prices seem like a deal. The Spinach, mushroom, gruyere omelette with sourdough was awesome and my wife's meatloaf and grits was tremendous. We'll be back!! read more

I had almost written this place due to lack of clean food options. The food tastes pretty good yes, the service is pretty friendly yes, and it's easy because it's the biggest most often open restaurant in Davidson. But the Heinz ketchup bottle on the table the Cisco whipped butter packets in the plastic containers, corn syrup filled jelly ... Big red flags if one cares about m in the importance of good nutrition which as all evidence now points to equals clean ethically sourced, sustainable, organic, non-GMO foods. I stopped by this morning because my favorite clean restaurant is closed on Tuesday mornings, and was hungry! I was pleasantly surprised to learn the grits are kosher which is most likely nongmo ( although when they arrived whatever they had added to them was waxy and is clearly not a healthy addition) and they're trying to source their foods in more conscientious way. The quality of the meat could not be attested to so I went with vegetarian option - the avocado Benedict although not organic or free range to the best of the original servers knowledge, was excellent as was the gluten-free multi grain toast. Pico de gallo on top taste quite fresh and homemade. I had the pleasure of me being advised on clean food choices at Toast by Helen who was well-informed professional and sweet. Slightly perplexed why the original server did not know what the food quality of the basic things on the menu was. Is it due to lack of interest in Davidson/the customers coming in don't ask, or lack of management educating the servers ? This is a hot topic in this small town as evidenced by the wild and immediate success of the two clean food restaurants in the town, and the more customers ask the better things will get- hopefully soon we will be able to trust the food we are being served without probing inquiry :-) read more

Always love the feel in the place. I've had some great memories with my wife here. The food has always been good and the service even better. Thank you so much:) I appreciate what you do. read more

Toast Cafe is my long time favorite. I wish the tables were a bit bigger simply because I am very tall. It's cozy and every meal reminds me of home! Sad that they no longer serve dinner! Highly recommend the Left Coast BLT read more

Came here for the first time the other day and it is now my new favorite breakfast place! The staff was friendly, the location is gorgeous and the food was amazing!!! I had an omelette, hash browns, and a cup of coffee which were all so delicious. I will definitely be back! read more

This is a town favorite. All my friends love this place and wish more would open close by! Great food, charming, friendly, fast

Great brunch spot! Be sure to ask to sit in the back, outside. The food is great and the lattes are even better.

Great service great food everything tasted wonderful had the stuffed French toast with cream cheese and strawberries we also have the avocado egg Benedict great flavor wonderful. read more

Toast is one of my favorite lunch spots in the whole area. It never disappoints! Perfect setting right on Main Street in Davidson, very nice wait staff, and great food! Will continue to visit Toast on a regular basis. read more

I come here every weekend for breakfast, and have yet to write a review. I've never been disappointed with anything here! I travel often, and have yet to find a better breakfast. Love this place read more

Delicious as always. Had the corned beef hash and it was wonderful. The service is impeccable, super friendly and professional. Love going to Toast whenever I have the opportunity. Highly recommend!! read more

We are a very picky family when it comes to our food. Toast Cafe was awesome - great sandwiches, salads, and breakfast food. Potato salad was my favorite, not the typical over dressed goop served in other restaurants. The place was packed, but the servers were were attentive and hustled! read more

I eat at Toast (now known as Famous Toastery) in Davidson on a regular basis. I was there for dinner last week and again tonight and it's been a while since I've posted a review about them, so here I am. Last week I had the Lobster BLT. Outstanding. Fresh Maine lobster, delicious bacon, good lettuce and tasty tomatoes on a ciabatta roll with a garlic aioli, with a side salad. A simple but elegant and perfectly constructed sandwich. Tonight I had one of the mainstays of their dinner menu- Chicken Marsala. All of the elements of the dish were well prepared, resulting in a spectacular dish: Boneless chicken breast in a Marsala wine sauce with mushrooms. A classic. It comes with either sauteed spinach and ricotta ravioli or green beans and mashed potatoes. I always go with the spinach and ravioli. A small loaf of bread for dipping, and I became a member of the clean plate club (as usual). I would normally have ordered one of their salads- I like a small wedge salad most of the time- but I wasn't super hungry and I didn't need one tonight. Another fine meal! read more

I thought it was odd we received the check the same time we got the food, since we wanted to order drinks after we got food. However, the food, customer service, and atmosphere was worth trying. read more

The place has always been cramped and noisy, but I had dinner there often because the food was amazing. Sadly, Toast has taken a bit of a dive in food quality since they've expanded the business and changed the name to Famous Toastery. They took away the best items on the menu- No Tilapia Provençal, no ravioli, no chicken marsala. The online menu hasn't been updated yet, so I got very excited that they had changed the menu back, but then had my hopes dashed. Unfortunately I don't see myself stopping in nearly as often. read more

Well worth the experience. We like being able to eat outside on the sidewalks of main street in Davidson. This place is a great fit for this cozy little town. read more

Excellent brunch with good portions. It has a cute and eclectic vibe near a small local college. The service is very friendly. This place can be popular so you might have a little bit of a wait for a table. But as you know, good things come to those to wait. I had the stuffed French toast the last time I was in. It was an over generous portion that I insisted I wasn't going to finish but I managed the task very happily. It's a great place to meet friends and share a good meal. read more

Went to the farmers market in Davidson. Wife and I decided we wanted a nice sit down breakfast. Toast was in easy walking distance. We were greeted and sat promptly. Our order came out very fast. The wait staff seems to have a great team serving method. I had the Breakfast Benedict and my wife had the waffle with stawberries and side of sausage. Food was excellent! Restaurant was clean and had a great atmosphere. Cost was on the higher end, compared to a traditional breakfast diner, but what you would expect from the better quality food. Highly recommended! read more

These folks have it together as far as freshness goes in breakfast and sandwiches. It's all cooked to order from great ingredients, handled with care, but I can't enjoy food that I can make at home for a fraction of the cost. I mean $12 for pancakes? It's very noisy too-- tin ceiling, hard floors and walls. Not good for conversation, unless you scream. At my last visit, five waiters cruised back and forth through the nearly empty room refilling salt shakers, etc. leaving me alone, but would have been nice if one had brought the coffee pot by. This is probably a fluke, and won't keep me away. The owners are from NYC and brought the prices with them. If you're on a tourist's budget and have money to burn, you'll get a good meal here. read more

What a bummer! We used to love Toast--- it was our favorite restaurant in Davidson. Recently returned to dinner on a Saturday night and left incredibly disappointed. We were a party of three and one person's entree never arrived, without acknowledgement from the owner/manager, who was standing next to our table! The wait staff was standing around chatting while we were waiting to order, and the table next to us was waiting for the menu. Really bad service. The food was pretty bad too. The Caesar salad lacked flavor and the crab cakes were as dry as can be. We didn't even want to try the dessert... We won't be back. read more

Toast gives me the feels. Always coming in strong with the herb omelettes. Keep up the good work

This is a very social restaurant. People are here for food...good food, but it is a friendly local kind of a space. Good vibe, If not a bit noisy, but very much a friendly feel. It seems like sitting at a the bar for breakfast is a cool thing to do if you're a single or small party. Great menu. Friendly service. I recommend this place. read more

Great service and ambiance. I can see why this is a popular spot with the community. It's close to Davidson College and downtown Davidson. Sat at the bar and my server was courteous and attentive especially with the coffee refills. I ordered the Lobster Scramble. The potatoes were a little overcooked, but not bad. The lobster scramble had the right amount of cheese and lobster pieces in which I didn't fee like I was being short changed for the price. Overall good experience and recommend it to anyone who's in town. Recommend getting there before 9 since when I was leaving, the place was filling up. This was a weekday so I can even imagine the weekend. read more

Great place for breakfast or lunch - never been there for a dinner. Wonderful atmosphere. Very comfortable. Food is fantastic and choices are enticing. I love coming here whenever I'm in town. I've never had a bad meal, or experience in general. read more

Don't go on weekends. Food is decent but they don't answer the phone, you can't order online, and you have to wait in line to order takeout alongside people paying their bill. An hour for a takeout order? Not again. read more

Least favorite Famous Toastery around. The hostess was rude and somehow he managed to be our waiter as well and rushed us when taking our order. Will not be going back to this location. Poor management! read more

Toast is so cute and such a gem within the town of Davidson. The food is always delicious and the staff very friendly. My last waitress, Leighla, was so sweet and helpful! It's definitely one of my regular restaurants to eat at when I'm looking for a wholesome meal and a great atmosphere. read more

My mom and I go here for breakfast a lot (she LOVES it), and I always have a pleasant experience. The service is attentive and the atmosphere is usually clean and comfortable. (I don't recommend sitting outside during the warmer months because the mosquitoes and flies are an inevitable problem). The food is generally good and reasonably priced. I recommend their omelettes, pancakes, and quiches. Personally I'm not a big fan of their home fries, so I get sliced tomatoes instead. It's nothing extraordinary, but it's consistently good. read more

my favorite local restaurant. consistently excellent food, good service and pleasant atmosphere. Helen, a former waitress, now manager keeps things running smoothly. love the menu and the staff is very friendly. perfect Saturday night dinner out in town. reasonably priced and an all around winner! read more

Fantastic food and very efficient service! I highly recommend. Every time my husband I go we are very welcomed and the food is always top quality. We love the shared responsibility of the wait staff as it is efficient. We always recommend this restaurant to others who have not tried it. And we are always willing to make the drive from Concord to enjoy brunch. read more

My husband and I dine at Toast several times a week. I love the food, the excellent service, and the charming small town atmosphere. The prices are reasonable and special orders are fine. This is a mainstay in Davidson and is such a great addition to our community. Betsy Seymour read more

Food was so so. Wait for table was awful as they mistakenly gave our table to another large group. So I only give it an okay

Me and the girlfriend stop for breakfast really good food and very nice people I recommend stoping in for breakfast. read more

Famous Toastery - Omelet. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

See all

I'll start with sting I only got omelettes and coffee, but 3 days in a row due to work travel, so I have no idea how good everything else is. First off, the coffee is not very good, to the point that day 2 barely drank one cup and the third day I just got water. I'm a coffee fan, so bad coffee is a huge ding on their part for trying to be a breakfast joint. The omelette was just fine. Actually two times the insides were still partly cold (fully cooked, they had precooked mushrooms and onions). I give 3 stars because everything was just fine, but nothing I ate stood out as great either, nothing to make me want to come back. Enough that in the future when I'm in the area, I'll likely enjoy my breakfast at a different breakfast restaurant. read more
