Great food, great service, workers are very friendly, and we loved the decor for the World Cup!

The food was really good, I really liked out rnservers too! Try the cinnamon roll pancakes

leny was our server, gave us great customer service and was very attentive. took our order quick and efficient.

First time coming to this restaurant. It is in a shopping center and sits at the edge as the last business. There is huge parking lot and accommodates outdoor seating as well as inside. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We came in for lunch on a Wednesday. I ordered the green chilaquiles and fresh pineapple juice to drink. The plate was flavorful. At first I couldn't tell it has green sauce but upon eating it I can taste the deliciousness. My mother had the salad. She said it was very tasty and was a good size portion. The menu had a huge selection and I will definitely come back and try another dish. I definitely recommend for breakfast or brunch. read more

We swung by Toast Cafe and Grill on the edge of Willow Glen for an afternoon brunch--and honestly, this place is a gem. We came in around 2 pm on a Saturday (they close at 3), and even though we stayed late, we didn't feel rushed. Here's the breakdown: Food (4.5 stars) + My molcajete costillitas was a star. Fall-off-the-bone pork ribs, crisp hash browns at the bottom of the hot stone, a red sauce that was just delicious, and even cactus that tasted like bell peppers! (5 stars) + My wife's corned beef hash was solid--fresh corned beef (no can here!), crispy hash browns, all melded together. (4 stars) + Our oldest had the classic breakfast--big, bright eggs, thick bacon, crispy in parts, with country potatoes. (4.5 stars) + The kids' French toast ended up shared, but the server even gave us one sausage and one bacon piece--thoughtful! (4 stars overall) Service/Ambiance (5 stars) + Service was top-notch. The waiter kept us hydrated and even made sure the kids had their perfect combo. + Outdoor seating is dog-friendly--Marley got some tortilla! + Even as they cleaned up, we didn't feel rushed. The place has an international flair with flags, brunch vibes, and spacious seating. I can't think of anything bad to say about this place. We'll definitely be back--especially for that molcajete. If you include value using Inkind credit, this establishment is my top favorite San Jose brunch spot! read more

Vibe: A This is one of many breakfast establishments in the area. Toast does have a following, so weekends can get crowded. Try to time the breakfast rush if you want to avoid a long wait. We ended up dining al fresco today and opted for the patio. The patio offered a nice shaded area with a nice breeze on a sunny day. If you are running solo, you can probably chill at the bar, which is a first-come, first-served basis. Food: A Steak n Eggs: Solid choice, steak was cooked to requested temp, paired with a bed of quispy hash browns, and side of eggs. Super Michelada: The drink itself was up to standard, but the shrimp was slightly overcooked, more so than at other local joints in the area. Service: A Staff were accommodating throughout our stay, no complaints here. - John read more

I went to Toast recently for breakfast with family that was visiting the area. They have lots of seating and we had no problem getting a table, however we did have an earlier breakfast, and by the time we were done it was very busy. Their menu has a wide variety of options to choose from. I had cinnamon roll pancakes with a side of eggs. The pancakes were good, but did not stand out compared to other breakfast places. The pancakes were very large, though, leaving me with plenty of leftovers to take home. read more

Its been at least a couple years since my first visit and I happened to be in the area after my son's graduation in downtown SJ. Got the Chile Verde with over medium eggs and corn tortillas. The verde sauce was not too tangy which I liked and the large pieces of pork chunks were soft and tender. Washed it all down with a Peach Mimosa. Our waitress was super nice and very attentive. Its a bit of a trek but I would consider coming back if I were in the area. read more

After a great hike at Almaden Quicksilver we indulged at Toast and there wasn't a wait on a Friday for brunch, but it gets increasingly busy as the morning goes on. We shared two dishes- a sweet and a savory. Today's special was the Barbacoa Skillet, with chunks of tender and flavorful beef, breakfast potatoes, grilled onions and topped with over-easy eggs. We had to stop ourselves from eating all of it because we had to make room for the Mazapan pancakes! They had cajeta (Mexican caramel) and topped with Mazapan (nutty pastry). The pancakes are light and fluffy and didn't need syrup. The service is wonderful, the coffee is delicious and the food is spectacular! read more

Ana is an amazing server. The food is good as always. So glad this place is shown the street from my home. Nice ambiance as well.

Toast Cafe & Grill on Bird Ave in San Jose is a great neighborhood brunch spot with a warm, casual vibe and a menu full of crowd-pleasing breakfast and lunch favorites. We went there with friends for brunch. Their portions are generous, dishes were delicious, Service is usually friendly and welcoming, and while it can get busy during peak weekend hours, it's well worth the short wait for a satisfying and relaxed brunch experience.

Came on a saturday at 10am and was seated immediately. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Ordered the chorizo skillet and I would say there is not much chorizo and I was not blown away by the flavor but it is not bad and the portions is decent. Also got the french toast combo and they are both again nothing special but still good. The food came out very fast. Overall good experience. read more

This place seems really popular and maybe I came in with high expectations, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. Service was okay. The food was overall pretty bland and nothing really stood out. I ordered the chile verde and eggs -- the pork was pretty fatty and somehow still dry. The michelada was fine, but definitely not the best I've had. The wait was also pretty long, which made the experience feel less worth it. I can see why people enjoy it (trendy look to it), but it just wasn't for me or the group I came with. read more

Toast has been a staple for me since moving here 4 years ago from Sacramento and it's definitely gone down hill in the past year or so (as someone who used to come REGULARLY). Both times coming here in the last couple months, the food comes at a common pace but the quality of the food has severely changed. Specifically the steak on the food such as the chilaquiles and steak&eggs, the steak comes dry/rubbery/extremely fatty and well done even though we had asked for medium both times. The French toast also super dry (lacking moisture) and the eggs were overcooked/no flavor both times for both dishes. Now to the service, just today- initially the experience was not the best as the initial host/server to seat us was uninterested in providing service rather rushing to get us to the table and brushing both my partner and I up and down (this person later left due to being sick). The experience started with the buser asking for our drink order and we had advised 2 coffees. Following a brief wait, our waitress came over and requested our drink order (super kind server and buser, nothing against both of them), we put our order for coffee in again and mentioned the buser had also asked so as to not make double work for them. Luckily we were ready to order and placed our order with the server to make it easier on them, as the restaurant was busy. The server then brought over the drinks and we waited for our food. We realized the silverware did not include spoons and we decided to wait for our food as the server and buser were running around (there were only 2 servers for the restaurant - including the manager). While waiting about 20 minutes for our food, we received the food and requested the spoon for the coffee. We waited about 15 minutes before we realized we would not be receiving any spoons or hear back from the servers as they had to continue to take orders and run around the restaurant leaving no room to stop and look around. At this point, we decided to use a knife to avoid bothering the staff. At this point, it was about 25 minutes later, we flagged down the buser and requested the check, as well as bbq sauce for the dry steak - we did not ask for a refund rather just sauce to make the steak bearable. Another 10 minutes later, I flagged down the waitress by getting up to try and get her attention, luckily she heard me and did apologize for the experience after me mentioning several of the abnormalities in the business. I did request to speak to the owners daughter and was ready to kindly advise of the ways in which they can improve but rather was pushed to wait another 15 minutes post payment to speak with the manager. The manager was a kind individual with the regular response but was came across to me as a red flag with this business is the lack of customer care. This is a reflection of the new ownership of the business as I was told many staff have left the business including the original head chef. Unfortunately due to the repeated bad experiences, I will not return to the business but I do wish them the best in the future and hope they rectify the business to stand where it used to be. The stars are for the strong staff members left holding down the fort. Below is the receipt, reflecting the cost of the meal and the pitiful requested tips for the staff. Unfortunately, we did not feel comfortable tipping more despite it being common for us to tip 20%+ always for the staff. read more

Here on a Tuesday and it was crowded. They do have outside dining with heaters but we opted to dine in. There was a 15 minute wait to dine inside that went fast. We were seated in a comfy booth. This is a breakfast and lunch place and the hours are from 7:00 to 3:00 Monday- Sunday. They have a little bit of everything and also drinks. I ordered the Cajun shrimp with the potatoes and eggs. It's a special and I don't usually have it on the menu. I also had a passion pineapple mimosa. My husband ordered the classic eggs benedict with fruit and bacon. My sister-in-law ordered the banana's foster french toast. Everything was beyond delicious and Roberto was our server. We're from Southern California and cannot wait to return. read more

I ordered the carnitas scramble, and it was okay. The carnitas itself did not have much flavor on its own, and the scramble tasted like a typical egg scramble. The country potatoes were cooked nicely, but the toast came out a bit cold like it had been sitting out. We also tried the chicken and waffle. The waffle was cooked well, but the chicken was not what I expected. I thought it would be tenders, but it was more of a flattened chicken breast. Not bad, but different. The restaurant has plenty of parking, but can get busy. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and both areas have a nice decor. The outdoor section has fire heaters, and it was quiet with no music playing. Customer service was good, and they checked in on us once. All in all, I would come back to try their specialty pancakes and the mimosa flight! read more

The mazapan pancake was so delicious and fluffy I'm so happy our waiter Alex recommended it.

Very cute place in a small strip mall. There is a Safeway & a donut shop, plus a few other businesses here. Found it when I did a Yelp search for restaurants in Willow Glen. I thought it might be on the main strip. Nice that there is a shared parking lot, so no need to find street parking. The menu has so many choices! I started with a bloody Mary that had a super crispy slice of bacon, celery, olives & pepper. Very tasty! I settled for a huge chicken salad that had corn, diced tomatoes, & bacon crumbles with a lemon vinaigrette dressing. Note - the dressing slid to the bottom, so you need to toss it to more evenly distribute it. I want to come back & try more of their dishes. Also, full bar - bonus! There is indoor seating as well as an outdoor patio with modern fire pits. read more

What a perfect spot for our monthly boozy breakfast tradition! I love that they open at 7AM -- nothing like being greeted with warmth and champagne before most people are even awake. I ordered the special mimosas and, to my delight, it came with a full bottle of champagne. Our server handled the pop and pour like an absolute pro, keeping our glasses topped without us lifting a finger. The space is charming, bright, and instantly welcoming. The food was flavorful and comforting -- exactly what you want when you're starting your day with bubbles. Between the ambiance, the service, and the champagne-for-two situation, this place is officially going into our regular rotation. read more

It was our first visit to this place. We were craving pancakes and waffles and decided to come here based on the positive reviews. Tip: Join the waitlist about 20-25 minutes in advance to avoid waiting. We signed up when we were around 20 minutes away and were seated immediately upon arrival. We ordered: - Avocado Toast: 3/5 : The sourdough bread paired really well with the avocado. I requested the boiled egg on the side. It also came with a side of fruit bowl and half a banana. Very filling -- felt like a complete meal. However, it tasted average. I have had better versions of this before. - Very Berry Waffle: 3/5 : My 4 year old and I shared this. It could have been a tad sweeter, but it tasted perfect when paired with the syrup. - Chocolate Chip Pancakes: 2/5 : These were below average. I have had better. My 4-year-old, who's usually a big pancake fan, didn't enjoy them and barely ate a quarter of a piece. The place has a cozy cafe vibe and a nice place for dates. The ambiance was great, and the Halloween decorations were still up -- really well done! Our server, Ana, was wonderful -- very attentive and helped us choose dishes that matched our mood today. Food took a while to arrive but I can totally understand that they were super busy. read more

Food was delicious and just the right portions. The place was busy and took me a while to get seated... I came in around 1pm during a rush, according to Miguel, my waiter. I ordered a ground beef omelette... can't remember the name of it but it was delicious. I also had a mimosa. Stuffing my face I forgot go take a picture when the food came but you can see the after I provided. Overall, delicious and a beautiful location with a covered atrium. Miguel the bar waiter was so busy but he was kind and welcoming. I love service with a smile. Overall tasty food and a good experience! read more

Their macadamia coconut pancakes are sublime!! everything here is so fresh and yummy. You can tell they stay very busy because our food is always super fresh. Plus, they give great normal or like down to earth service. Not super fancy, but also not ignoring you. Just the right amount of attention and just the right amount of refills. It's a very well oiled machine there and their food is always amazing. Everything I've ever had. There is a delightful. read more

This place is a great brunch spot! I came here with a big group and we were seated relatively quickly, which was surprising for a Saturday. I ordered the chilaquiles with steak and it was full of flavor and generously portioned. My group also got a flight of mimosas so we could try different flavors. Overall I would come here again! read more

The Good: easy parking, outdoor seating (but FYI with dogs). Service was fast, but mid. The Not-so-Good: ordered the Banana French toast with scrambled eggs and sausages. The sausage tastes like cardboard (like they were expired) and eggs were dry/overcooked. The French toast was nothing special. Ordered a mocha iced coffee too - terrible. Our table was on an uneven pavement - so the condiments were always ready to slide off the table. read more

This restaurant had been popping up under recommended Brunch spots for ages, so when my friends and I finally had a chance to catch up, we chose Toast Cafe & Grill. We went on a holiday (MLK) and luckily it was open (website was up to date). Prior to arriving, we joined the Yelp Waitlist and were 16th in line, estimating around a 35-45 minute wait. There were benches and scattered chairs in front of the restaurant, and there is plenty of parking due to the large Safeway in the same plaza. As Yelp told us to do, we went to the hostess and checked in and let her know we were all here. We proceeded to wait about 20 minutes or so, and then were called to our table inside. They have lots of seating both inside and outside, and if you're outside, they've got cozy fires and heating lamps on chillier days. My two friends who've been here twice before said service is notoriously slow, so you have to be bold and make lots of eye contact or just wave people over if you can catch them. We sat with our menus for about 15 minutes before someone came and we quickly ordered. Between the four of us we got the huevos rancheros with steak, a waffle with strawberries, the banana fosters French toast, some southwest omelette, the garden skillet, and one other item im forgetting. Food arrived fairly fast, within 20 minutes. Everything came out hot and fresh, but unfortunately my garden skillet was basically ALL hash brown and some egg whites. I could hardly find any spinach, mushrooms, and the asparagus were cut into TINY TINY like scallion green onion sized bits. For a whopping $20 I was extremely disappointed. It was essentially flavorless and just a pile of egg whites and hash browns and no veggies. My husband liked his meal alright but said he'd likely not spend $20+ for it again. The bananas foster French toast was quite tasty and I enjoyed the way they flambed the bananas. Overall, just an OK experience but I think there are a couple of better brunch spots to discover. I like the ambiance, and service was friendly albeit slow. read more

Family trip win: amazing brunch, happy kids, full bellies, and friendly service. We were visiting from out of the area with the family and this place blew us away. The Steak Benedict was a knockout with some amazingly moist meat, the omelets were spot on and large portioned, and the hash browns were next-level crispy with just the right amount of salt. The kids devoured the Nutella French toast and Cinnamon roll pancakes, while the Frisco Burger and mimosa flight made it a win for the grown-ups too. Huge portions, everything hot and fresh, and some of the friendliest service we've had in a while. We sat outside on the patio which had plenty of space to walk around tables, which is always appreciated! We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Definitely will be returning! read more

Toast Cafe & Grill is a cozy brunch spot located in Willow Glen with a nice and variety filled menu. Located in a shopping center it was easy to find parking and although it was busy we were able to find seating for 4 relatively quickly. They offer both indoor and outdoor dining which is nice. We opted for outdoor seating and they have heating lamps around to make the experience more comfortable. The restaurant is clean and has a nice vibe to it so we were very optimistic about our experience and we ordered pretty quickly. We ordered green chilaquiles with coffee and old fashioned pancakes plus bacon and hashbrowns with chocolate milk. The waiter also pointed out that by comboing everything it would be cheaper which ended up saving us some money on he order. Our food did take quite a bit of time to come and they forgot one of our dishes as well which was unfortunate because everything up until that point had been smooth. When all the food finally arrived we all dug in and the results were a bit mixed. The green chilaquiles were okay, nothing about them really stood out and we felt like it was a dish you could've eaten just about anywhere, i.e. it was nothing to write home about. Likewise, the pancakes were just okay. They were a bit too soft and doughy and that's coming from people who like their pancakes on the doughier side. Ironically, on the other side of the table our friends ordered the cinnamon roll pancakes which were much, much better and we wish we had gotten that because it was a hit all around. read more

Plenty of parking since there's a shared parking lot with other businesses. We had a party of two and arrived at 10am and were seated immediately. Coffee was ok. Bloody mary was really good! I did not think I'd like it. Club sandwich came with a side of fries. It' a big portion so you can even share it, or just bring the leftover home. Salad was standard. Truffle fries were okay. Service was great. The waiter kept checking in to ensure we were all good and notice the chicken was taking a while so he went to check on it and got it for the salad. I'd definitely come back! There's a lot on the menu I want to try. read more

We came during a busy time and were still able to be sitted at a reasonable time (waited only 5-10min). The server was nice and the food was decent! Our only issue was that the glassware and utensils weren't fully cleaned. The mimosa glass we got had lipstick on it and our coffee cup had coffee stains on the outside. We asked for it to be exchanged and the server was really apologetic about it + was able to make the change quickly. Overall, Id come back and try some new food when it's less busy. read more
