    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!

    Nova Scotia Benny

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Curious George Coffee ($10) - banana cold brew, vanilla, whipped cream, and candied pecans
    Kristen H.

    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!

    Iced Carrot Cake Latte and Peppermint Mocha Latte
    Cami K.

    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.

    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.

    Mushroom omelette with side of cheese grits and toast/jelly
    Katerina L.

    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!

    Kids meal pancake
    Elaine W.

    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.

    This is undeniably a fantastic burger, probably one of the best I've had in Michigan so far. The…read morequality and consistency are great, though I honestly think the meat would shine even more as a traditional 1/4 or 1/2 pound patty rather than a smash burger. A thicker cut would really let you taste the high-quality flavor of the beef. If you're going to order, here are a few pro tips: Get the sauce on the side: It's an excellent sauce, but you are much better off dipping. Otherwise, the burger will totally get drenched and lose the meat flavor profile. The bacon situation: They smash little bits of bacon directly into the patty. You can barely taste it this way, and it would be significantly better just served as traditional strips on top. So I would prob get it without next time. The Tallow Fries: These have huge potential, but unfortunately, mine arrived pretty soggy via delivery. I should have thrown them in the air fryer to crisp them back up, as I know they would be amazing fresh out of the fryer dripping in tallow. And they would have worked much better as larger almost steak cut fries to let the tallow flavor shine more. However as i ate them, i would still choose cajun 5 guys fries well done over them. My order for a burger and fries came to almost $40 (including tip) through their delivery service. Is it worth that price point for a delivery order? Probably not. However, the core ingredients are so good that I definitely plan to visit the restaurant in person so I can experience the food fresh and at its best.

I've gotten my Thanksgiving turkey from here. They often have yummy soups (especially the chorizo chowder). All of the being said, I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED today. My bf and I typically get one burger and one turkey sandwich and exchange halves. Today the turkey was awful and I threw it away uneaten. You changed everything that made it delicious. Today it was on the hard ciabatta roll. The turkey was just slices slapped on the bread when it used to be kind of shredded. There was no spicy giardenera.. The brie was just some sort of melted brie slices when before it was a brie fondue sauce. I wanted to cry. This is the quickest way to lose customers.. changing what's tried and true

It's always a busy time for establishments, especially when it comes to holidays, but we repeatedly kept getting seated and "unseated" (the hostess would seat us, but then take us back to common area as the tables were either dirty or not ready). I didn't personally care about this, but I definitely noticed my party getting a bit frustrated by the experience as it happened about 4 times before we officially got seated, which also exceeded our initial reservation time. The service itself was okay. I wish they would've come around a bit more as we were out of water while eating our meal, but I know it was super busy that day!! I ended up getting the soft shell crab sandwich and it was pretty good! I think it would be even tastier with more sauce on the bun, but overall a nice pick. I also tried the lobster bisque; it had a nice texture with the little lobster bits, but found it overly salty. Hush puppies were a nice, crispy texture and I loved the sweet butter with it! One thing I absolutely loved about this experience was the mother's day flower pop-up stand! The cutest way to walk in and support another local business.
