Really solid breakfast option and is a place worth visiting. Best time to go is during the summer when they have their outdoor patio open.

The food here is average for the price point. Service was good. Although I didn't watch the show Friends, I felt like we walked into a restaurant based on the set of that show. It was pleasant enough but we all wish the food was better. We all agreed that the avocado toast was the most memorable. read more

Second time coming here. Food, Service is always superb. Love the atmosphere. Sitting inside just enough to see the beautiful sky and be in the nice weather. read more

I have been coming to Toast for years. Recent visit I do not think I'll be able to return. I enjoyed my Spicy Cali omelet, but something is different- it wasn't as spicy as typical. My partner had the Cowboy omelet and unfortunately he was food poisoned I believe from the gravy. The hosts were attentive and efficient. Our waitress was ok, she did check in with us but only understood half of our order. The atmosphere is modern. As mentioned after yesterday visit, we will not return our weekend was ruined needless to say. read more

Food here was great like Toast should be. The service not so much, our server was slow and he seemed to neglect us. Other tables who sat after us received their food before us and their meals seemed more complex than ours. I have to say just by this one experience I prefer the Toast in Ferndale read more

Best service and good food! Only complaint is that they charge extra for pure maple syrup! read more

A unique breakfast spot in downtown Birmingham with potatoes to die for! Our group of four was seated quickly around 10am on a Saturday. The meal is huge and has a lot of yummy sounding options. My group loved their meals. Our waitress was lovely and everything came out in a timely manner. My favorite thing about this place was the unique decor, every room has a different theme! read more

Toast - Sammy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

Great spot for brunch with friends! The decor and ambiance is so cute- ate in the blue wallpaper room by the front window, and it felt like a cozy living room. Got the Nova Scotia benny, and it was delicious. Delicious hollandaise sauce and smoked salmon which was a first for me! The home fries stole the show- perfectly crisped potatoes. The downside is the prices are high, but it's Birmingham so what should I have expected? $20 for a breakfast sandwich is actually wild. As many have stated, 20% gratuity is automatically included but this isn't stated prior so I could see people tipping twice if they are not careful. Still, our server was very kind and helpful. read more

Service was great. Toast is very expensive but at least the food is also an upgrade. Very good Benedict's and fresh breads. Great ambiance as well. Would recommend read more

I really like Toast. It is a swanky boozy type of brunch place that you can have a great afternoon with friends and/or friends and walk away feeling good. The menu is plentiful though lacking in vegan options. The cocktail and beverage menu has many options so even the most discriminating beverage connoisseur should be able to find a beverage to their liking. Service is great. The ambiance is whimsical and special. If you're an egg eater you'll enjoy the multitude of available omelettes and there is much more to choose from if you're vegetarian. Again they do need to add a few options to make this a good place for vegans. The price is reflective of the great experience and ambiance you'll experience. My family enjoyed our brunch. I would say this is a better place for adults than a younger crowd. But certainly if necessary you can find something on the menu for children. read more

Love the ambiance of Toast-whimsical , unique decor. Great place for brunch. Surprised by 20% automatic tip-not based on service quality. Avocado toast on sourdough bread so delicious-love the pickled onion-a unique touch. Wolferman's English muffin so so good! read more

Been there twice neither time was good. Food was so so. Service was ok. Not sure if I'll be going back anytime soon.

Toast in Birmingham, MI, is a retro-chic brunch spot that perfectly blends an old-school diner feel with sleek, upscale decor. The simple black and red exterior, complete with a small patio, leads into a vibrant, colorful interior, where the space features a mahogany-black and granite bar, bright-red furniture, and whimsical patterned wallpapers. My party of four walked in on a Saturday around noon. While the restaurant was bustling both inside and outside, the hostess assured us that the wait would be under 20 minutes if we put our names down on the waitlist and were okay with sitting outside. True to her word, we received a text about 20 minutes later. The short wait wasn't too bad, since Birmingham is a charming area to explore. The outside patio was a bit tight, with tables close together. It was a chillier Michigan summer morning, and there was no heater, but it began to warm up quickly. Our server was lovely, guiding us through some of her favorite items on the extensive menu, which features everything from traditional breakfast and brunch fare to salads, sandwiches, and more unique dishes. The drink menu also offers some fun options. One member of our party ordered the Curious George ($10), described as their house-made banana cold brew with vanilla, whipped cream, and candied pecans. The drink was visually stunning, served in a large glass with a generous amount of whipped cream and candied pecans. However, we found the drink lacking in banana flavor, tasting mostly like a vanilla latte. For $10, it was a bit disappointing and seemed more like an Instagram-worthy drink than one focused on taste. Another member of our party ordered the Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo ($17, $2 extra for chorizo). The dish, described as "crispy corn tortillas, black beans, over-easy eggs, cotija, mexi slaw, guacamole, chipotle sauce, and lime crema," was a good portion with a nice mix of flavors and textures, though they were a bit skimpy with the chorizo. The eggs were perfectly runny, and the corn tortillas stayed crispy despite being soaked in multiple sauces. Another party member ordered the Biscuit + Gravy ($8), labeled as a starter but quite a substantial deal. It came with two sizable rosemary parmesan biscuits drenched in rich turkey sausage gravy, topped with herbs. While biscuits and gravy are not the most visually appealing dish, the herbs added a nice pop of color and flavor contrast to the rich dish. Adding an egg for $1.50 would still make it a filling meal for under $10. Another member of our party, not too hungry, ordered two sides: Ham ($5) and Parmesan Grits ($5). The ham was unremarkable but nicely seasoned. The Parmesan Grits, however, were delicious, with a rich, cheesy flavor and a pleasant grainy texture that allowed the corn to shine through. A crispy cheese cracker on top added a nice touch. I ordered the Pound Cake French Toast ($16), which came with three thick slabs of lemon-vanilla pound cake topped with strawberries, strawberry-mint sauce, powdered sugar, whipped cream, and lemon zest. The cake wasn't too sweet and had a lovely lemon flavor. It was rich and moist inside, though it didn't quite have the "French toast" texture I expected, possibly due to not being soaked in custard long enough. The toppings were delicious, with fresh strawberries, a zesty strawberry mint sauce, rich house-made whipped cream, and lemon zest adding a pop of acidity and texture. Overall, Toast is a fun spot with unique takes on breakfast classics. It's not the cheapest place, but the service is fast and friendly, the ambiance is fun and retro, and the food is tasty. I would definitely return to try some of their other dishes! read more

Service is as slow as a sloth. Told our waitress we'd START with a cinnamon roll from "The Starters" section. Food takes FOREVER to come out. After waiting a ridiculously long time my husband asked when the cinnamon roll would be coming out and the waitress said it was all coming out together (meaning with our meals), but she could get it out first. Cinnamon roll finally came out and we were told the rest of our food would be "out in a second" after waiting a ridiculously long time and watching two other tables get their food that were sat well after we were i was pissed to say the least. Hell hath no fury like that of a pregnant woman who's starving!! Food was mediocre and over priced, the ambience is cool and the artisan menu is neat but i won't be running back here. They also include an automatic 20% tip on the tab, which is kind of ridiculous especially if you get crap service. All in all i was not impressed. read more

Coffee drinks are unique and delicious. Betty boop greets you as you walk in. We finished all the food. Solid breakfast spot

Toast in Birmingham is usually one of my favorite, go-to brunch spots to meet with friends. I specifically prefer the one in Birmingham rather than other locations due to this menu being more diverse. But I had a very confusing experience at my most recent breakfast date.... I ordered a hot Peppermint mocha and it was SPICY... like someone put cayenne pepper in my drink spicy? I handle spicy food well and prefer some ginger to warm up my winter drinks.... but I was struggling to drink it. I added sugar to the drink- that didn't help. I drank all of my water and that also didn't help...... To be clear again, all I ordered was a Peppermint Mocha. There was nothing on the menu that indicated their house coffee would have spice nor that there would be any spice in the Peppermint mocha itself. I had a young, very nice waitress so I was even more confused, stunned, and dumbfounded as to why there was no explanation. After calling her over and telling her that my drink was inexplicably 'spicy... very spicy' she simply asked if I wanted something else.. there was absolutely no explanation as to why my Peppermint Mocha Latte tasted like it was spiked with spice for some reason.. this completely rubbed me the wrong way especially not having heard from a manager, and having to pay Nine Dollars and Fifty cents for the same Iced Carrot Cake Latte my friend got (see picture). Although the iced carrot cake latte looked and sounded good with a boasted "cream cheese frosting cold foam" I found tiny goops of chewy 'cream cheese frosting'. Both of these tastes sitting in my stomach beg for my meal made my food much less enjoyable. After coming here for years with pretty consistent good food and ambiance - I'm sad to say I won't be back due to this very odd experience. I've tried rationalizing this mistake thinking about how early it was (8:30AM) and that everyone has one of those days... but even still. This was unacceptable service. read more

Love this place! I only wish it was open a bit later. We stopped in to take a break from holiday shopping. Inside the decor is festive for the winter holiday season. We kept it simple with bloody mary's and the maya (Sp?) fries. The Bloody Mary was excellent. The fries were decadent - more than enough for two people to share. The brunch/breakfast menu looks excellent. read more

On our way home, we stopped at Toast for breakfast. They quoted us with a 20 minute wait, but since we sat right inside to wait, they called us up within 5 minutes for a table! Overall, for the price of everything, the food is nothing special. It was really good, but for the most part it was standard breakfast fare. We got a cinnamon roll to share and though we requested it to come out first as an appetizer, our main course came out at the same time. The cinnamon roll was definitely the best thing that we tried, but everything else was pretty good. I just got the traditional breakfast with turkey sausage, and it was a hefty serving. The decor was very nice and our waitress really took care of us. I did notice the busser just wiping the crayons from a table onto the floor, and then people kept stepping on them. It was really driving me crazy, I had to look away. But overall, it was decent. You could probably find the same food for cheaper elsewhere. read more

Nice cosy ambiance, great breakfast/brunch selection and a full bar to go along. Portions are good size - enough to take home leftovers. Omelettes are delicious and come with choices of sides. Cheesy grits was so good! read more

Pleasant experience. High quality food, very fresh ingredients, and beautiful presentation. Have to say it's better than the other Toast location in Ferndale. Also good ambiance. Large menu selection. Friendly and attentive server. Food also came out super fast (like 5 mins). Got their oat milk latte for $7.50. Nice presentation and no complaints. Breakfast enchiladas (~$18) was recommended to me by my waitress. I replaced the black beans with fresh fruits. Enchiladas was well made. Very filling, ok flavor (little bland, better after adding some hot sauce). Probably wouldn't order again because wasn't unique enough. Didn't taste the kids pancake but impressed by the presentation of it. Overall would return for ambiance. Maybe would try some other items next time. read more

great food!! The eggs Benedict was amazing and the bacon was massive. Really enjoyed the service and the ambiance as a whole. Will be back.

Amazing food, great service, great coffee, and a really good vibe overall. Great for breakfast or brunch

I've been hearing about the French press "banana coffee" from my sister for sister weeks. Our taste differs, I didn't find it extraordinary. What I found extraordinary was the broccoli omelette. Wow. The cheese sauce on top of the omelette was like good hot fudge on a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I hit the jackpot on my side dishes, The fried rice and challah toast were that good. Our waiter was awesome but I am docking a star for the automatic gratuity added. I think that's weird and wrong and later found I unknowingly tipped 40%. read more

I would give this place five stars BUT there are a couple of drawbacks. The parking is horrible if you want a spot close by. Second major drawback the wait time on a weekend is so long! However if you go on a weekday it is much better most of the time! Now that those are out of the way. The ambiance inside is cute and there are plenty of tables inside and out! Which is cool if you want to enjoy the few months of summer by eating outside! The food is great. Everything on the menu is spot on. The mimosas are great for Sunday funday brunch! The service is excellent every time I go they staff is friendly and on point. The variety on the menu also has something for everyone. Even the pickiest eater I went with was satisfied with the meal as a whole. read more

This was my first time at Birmingham Toast. There's a lively atmosphere and we were seated within 15 minutes even on a Sunday morning. The food was delicious! The only bigger issue I had was with service - it was slow and the waiter forgot things at times. Only other thing to note is the slightly higher price point (a bit higher than other brunch restaurants, but not entirely unreasonable). Overall, a good experience. read more

We were there during peak hours Saturday afternoon but the food was excellent. Service was a little slower than usual but still good.

I remember eating here prior to Covid and really enjoying it but today was my first time back in a few years. It's still really busy and the menu is a little different than what I remembered. I wasn't particularly impressed with the food this time around. I had the Mexi hash and there was nothing spicy about it. It was good but kind of bland. All of us liked our food but nothing really stood out. We shared the cheesecake waffle and it had an embarrassingly small amount of cheesecake on it lol like you can see in the picture each waffle piece had like a dot of cheesecake on it. That would have been much tastier if they put an appropriate amount on. The drinks were good though, I really liked my gimlet and my friends enjoyed the bloody Mary's read more

Food is very good but hours are more limited than they used to be. They used to serve dinner here but now I think it's just brunch Be very careful when ordering takeout - they add an automatic required tip to your order even though you are the one going in and picking up the food. read more

Come here with friends for brunch! It's such a great spot and has great atmosphere. Usually will get packed even on a weekday, so I would call and get your name down. The trashy hash and chicken/waffles are some of my favorites, but they have everything from savory omelettes to sweet and chocolate pancake stacks. The mimosa flights with different juices are great for sharing and they have a mean Bloody Mary with bacon! 10/10 read more

We were in town and stopped by here on a Thursday morning for breakfast and it did not disappoint. The decor is really cute. We were seated right away and our waitress helped us quickly. We ordered the mushroom omelette with jalapeno cheddar challah, home fries, and French toast. Everything tasted great and we had plenty for leftovers. Would definitely recommend this place for breakfast if you're in the area. read more

It was lovely to have Sunday breakfast here. We were waiting for the table about 15-20 min. So if you decide to walk around while you waiting, you want to be around. Because they send you notification that you have 5 min to secure your reservation. (Little advice) Food and coffee were awesome! We wanted to have breakfast outside, what was pretty good. It wasn't too loud and we had nice place in shade. read more

The Parasian omelet was excellent. Chèvre in the omelette hit the spot. The bananarama waffle was good but I can't brag about it, just felt basic bananas and waffle put together. The server was awesome, he was patient while we decided on what to get given it was my first time there. The place was nicely decorated for the holiday season, plenty of seating. read more

Nice atmosphere. Got the corn beef hash, for some reason the meat was lukewarm and the eggs and hash were cold. Very disappointing.

Great vibe, ambience, staff. Went for bfast and the menu was impressive. I asked our enthusiastic waitress if I should have the parisian omlette or huevos. Without thinking, she replied, " huevos are much more exciting." I ordered and they were exciting and delicious with mounds of avocado, beans and all else that goes with it. I'm happily stuffed. Coffee prices, however, were ridiculously high. French Press for 2 was $13 and tea was $4.50. Without taking that into consideration, a definite great way to start the morning. read more

Solid brunch place, with good Bloody Mary's (though I wish it was more customizable). Food is always good but not great -- recently, I had the huevos rancheros, and it was a yummy dish but they could absolutely use better, spicier salsa. Reservations very much recommended as it can get busy on weekends. Parking isn't great around the area, so you might have to drive around a bit to find a spot and then walk a couple of blocks to get there. Service is a bit on the slow side, but decent enough for a busy brunch spot. read more
