    Stopped in with my family for Sunday breakfast. The place was already busy, but we were seated right away. The service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a pleasing atmosphere. My husband and I both ordered the Nut-Bad Irish coffee. For food, he got the short rib enchiladas, I ordered the Barbacoa Benedict, and our son had the chicken tenders. The bite of his enchiladas I tried was good. The meat was tender and the sauce had good flavor. Unfortunately, my dish... had a long white wavy hair hanging over a side of the plate, when I pulled it, more of it was underneath the potatoes, which completely killed my appetite for the rest of the dish. I shouldn't be, but I get embarrassed to say anything, so I left that section of my potatoes aside. The benedict itself was okay, though the barbacoa was not dry, and the sauce gave it a good balance. The Nut-Bad Irish coffee was just alright. I found the nutmeg flavor way too overpowering with every sip, but my husband seemed to enjoy it more than I did.

    I really enjoyed our brunch here. Reservations are a must and your party must be complete before they seat you. It can easily be located since its outside the mall. Parking is not an issue; you may have to walk a bit for its a busy mall. Food was good, menu was pretty much like your regular brunch spot. I had eggs benedict & it was perfect. I had their fried hash browns instead --- reminded me of piknik. it was really tasty. Convos were really intetesting & we were not asked to leave due to time which was really nice. It's not a big place and it can seat plenty. Good place to go for a weekend brunch.

    I've been here several times with the girls for brunch, but this visit was for their Saturday R&B brunch with a DJ--and wow, it was packed! We arrived right at 3pm and were told there was a 1-1.5 hour wait, but we were seated sooner than expected, which was a nice surprise. The décor is upscale with darker tones, and there's seating inside and on the patio. You can hear the music throughout the restaurant, which really sets the vibe. Our server was great even with the high volume of guests. The food was good (I still prefer their breakfast menu), but the real star for me was the drinks--yesss, they were delicious! I would definitely come back, but next time I'll come early to be sure we get seated. There was a 90-minute time limit posted, but we weren't rushed at all. If you want good music, sing-along fun, and excellent drinks, Saturday brunch here is a great time with friends.

    Pancakes with strawberry and whip cream

    The Yelp review nobody asked for... but you're getting anyway I've heard about this spot a few times and seen it floating around on IG and TikTok, so when I found out they do a reverse brunch -bottomless mimosas starting at 3PM with a DJ, I was already intrigued. Day party energy? Say less. My coworker and I popped in on a random Saturday. She put us on the virtual waitlist, and we were seated pretty quickly -- love that for us. We sat outside on the patio and the vibe was actually really nice. Good music, good energy! Now... the food. I ordered the classic pancakes with fruit and house potatoes (jalapeños & cheese), and my coworker got the avocado toast with hash brown chips (also with cheese and jalapeños -- clearly we had a theme going). The potatoes? Solid. No complaints there. But the pancakes... came out with no syrup. None. Not a drizzle, I was confused. Do I ask?? By the time our server circled back (which took a minute), I was already over it. The fruit also wasn't fresh, so both the pancakes and fruit ended up being a no for me. My coworker's meal? Let's just say... it was edible. Not exciting, not terrible -- just there. Now let's talk about what they got RIGHT: the drinks. I had a lemon drop with tequila (yes, tequila ) and a couple shots, and they did not disappoint. Strong, cute, and exactly what I needed to shift the experience. Also, shoutout to the manager -- he was actively checking on tables and ended up removing the items we didn't eat, which I really appreciated. That level of attentiveness goes a long way. Final thoughts: I wouldn't come back for the food, but for the drinks, music, and vibes? Absolutely. Just eat beforehand and come ready to sip and socialize. P.S. Plenty of parking (a blessing) and there's a strict 90-minute dining limit -- so pace yourself accordingly

    Super cute place. I ordered the chile verde chilequiles and they were delicious. The tortillas are freshly fried. Not spicy. Very good. I'm not a fan of eggs and asked for no eggs however they don't do alternatives. I ordered decaf hot coffee. They only have cold brews and hot coffee. No vanilla lattes. Different flavor of cold brews though. Seating was fast before 10 am. I met with my girlfriends at 9 am and it was already getting busy but we were seated fast. Waitress was 10/10. She was so friendly. I'd come back for sure.

    Chicken and waffles

    A really good brunch spot ; would definitely come again . The place is really pretty and the decor gives girly brunch. I'll have to bring my friends on day. There was just a little hiccup with the waitlist they weren't going by the waitlist I signed up on and letting other people go . But they informed me at a somewhat reasonable time and said to just tell them my name next time so I can be seated. Could've avoided the 30 minute wait but all good. The food definitely makes up for it . I got chicken and waffles which was so flavor and cooked perfectly. And the entree came with a warm maple bourbon syrup soooo good. My boyfriend got the breakfast burrito and it was soooo hearty. I believe it had sausage and bacon inside ; everything was mixed well and the avocado salsa on the side as a nice kick . Our drinks were strong sweet and good .

    I came for the music and loved the appetizers. I honestly came all the way from Riverside to try the R&B brunch it was a birthday request of mine. We had a reservation for 3 and it was a piece of cake. We did not have to wait. The moment we stepped inside the restaurant though Toast felt a touch chaotic, like a party of people who forgot their playlists! A lot of big groups were waiting, and I wondered if they didn't have reservations. Either way the energy was buzzing. But then the appetizers hit the table and oh my, they were fire. The artichoke dip had a sly hint of jalapeño spice that kept things exciting and delicious, and the Goat Cheese Tomato Crostini was a hit the bread was cheesy and the sauce paired perfectly with the cheese we had to order more bread. I'll be dreaming of this deliciousness for a long time. I ordered "under pressure" and went for the fried chicken sandwich it's so big you could share I only ate half. The ambiance is fun especially after sharing a flight of Mimosas!!! The room feels like a party where everyone's celebrating to the same R&B playlist I adore. The music sets the mood and the servers keep the beat going. My only con would be to skip desert our cake tasted like old store bought cake not worth the price and no one had more than 1 bite. But its ok I'll be back for some more R&B brunch!

    The food was good !! Got seated right away no waiting. The service was good as well. The waitress did spill juice all over my daughters shoes but she was very apologetic. The ambiance is more casual family orientated not so much upscale vibes !! So if you looking for a lowkey spot for brunch with bottomless mimosas this is it!!

    Wow! From the food to the decor and ambience. We came for breakfast pretty early in the AM, around 9ish so it wasn't too busy yet. We ordered the simple breakfast, chilaquiles, and French toast. Everything was so good and service was 5/5. It's so cute inside and they have a patio for nice days. Music was good as well. I can definitely see it getting busy. Absolutely recommend if you're in the area!

    I went here last night to celebrate a birthday and we had a really good time. The music was awesome, our host was great and the food was good. The wait was pretty long, which was not ideal, but at least we had a good time. It was a lot of us, and some of our party was seated in another section, and the manager made accommodations for us to all be in the same area, which we really appreciate it. I will definitely be back.

    Short Rib Pasta & Burger (don't remember the name)

    Came here with a group of my gfs for my bday! Arrived right before 3pm for R&B brunch which was a blast. Great music, good vibes. They don't really want you up and dancing which is understandable but we managed. lol Good was a solid 7/10, they don't really offer brunch style food after 3 which is a bummer bc I really wanted to try their French toast and chilaquiles. Short rib pasta was mid 6/10 and burger was an average burger. I don't really come to places like this expecting the food to be 10/10 and I'm curious to know if the breakfast and brunch style food is better than the lunch/dinner options. Their unlimited mimosas are great but are time capped at 90 mins however our server made sure our bottle stayed full. Overall experience was an 8/10. Decent food, great vibes.

    Take your money somewhere else. The worst food and service wasn't great either. They had ONE server, our soda tasted awful like it had no gas and we ordered Ice tea which also tasted old. I ordered Korean bbq lettuce wrap appetizers and the lettuce was completely hot and wilted. My husband's chicken plate with rice looked like mush. For being a nice looking place (and not cheap) this was terrible. Will never come back.

    our server was super sweet and attentive.   Okay ..... Im Filipino and I know Ube..... their Ube coconut pancakes is AMAZING

    They had average food and very slow service. It wasn't horrible but I've had better experiences and better food.

    Had a great time!…read more From the greeter at the door to the bartender, we had an awesome time. Didn't get any food - we were stuffed - but the food sounded inviting. Nice atmosphere for talking and enjoying drinks.

    I'm new to Whittier and still getting a feel for the area, and wow... I'm so glad my friends put me…read moreon to The Vandalist. This place instantly became one of my favorites after just one visit. From the moment you walk in, the whole vibe hits you--the moody, neon-lit ambiance sets the tone perfectly. It feels elevated, a little edgy, and honestly just the kind of spot you want to spend your night at. The music is curated so well. Not too loud, not too mellow--just the right balance where you can vibe, have a conversation, and still feel the energy of the room. You can tell they actually care about the experience, not just throwing a playlist together. Now let's talk about the drinks... because that's really where they shine. Every cocktail feels intentional and crafted with care. You can taste the quality immediately--nothing watered down, nothing basic. They have a really cool mix of classic cocktails and modern twists, and even the familiar drinks feel elevated. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every round because you trust the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Service was on point too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain drinks and made great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. I came in not knowing what to expect, and left already planning my next visit. If you're in Uptown Whittier and looking for a spot with great energy, amazing cocktails, and a full vibe--The Vandalist is it. Thank me later
