    Cappuccino

    Super Cute space. Cozy and modern. Glad that Foster City finally has a cute brunch spot. All the food looked IG ready and delicious! They have some nice looking non coffee drinks too. Service was pleasant and friendly. Had a little too much balsamic vinegar on the salad but good overall

    Eggs Benedict Classic.
    Bianca S.

    What a birthday breakfast! I treated myself to something truly satisfying, and I was definitely not disappointed. This was my first time here, and I started with the matcha coconut drink. I'm so glad this spot is within walking distance because that drink was incredibly refreshing! I came hungry and ready for a big meal. We all eat with our eyes first, and let me tell you...this plate looked just as good as it tasted. Every bite met my expectations. The potatoes were bomb, and the Eggs Benedict was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We sat outside, but both the indoor and outdoor seating have such peaceful vibes. The inside is aesthetically pleasing and feels warm and inviting. Surprisingly, the passing cars weren't much of a distraction... zoom zoom it was actually the electric scooters on the sidewalk that caught my attention more than anything. Thank you!

    Really solid Thai fusion brunch, competitor to a couple of other options in downtown San Mateo. No line for our large party around 10:30am, but it was packed and people were waiting for our table by noon. Thai tea - a bit on the sweet side for me, and could be a little stronger. Tom yum omurice - extremely generous portion size! The sauce was delicious, and the jumbo shrimp were perfectly cooked and bouncy. The omelette part had a great balance of slightly runny-soft-cooked parts. Definitely would order again. My friends ordered a few other things which I took some bites of - Shibuya chicken - really juicy and had a thin, crispy kaarage-style crust. Crème brûlée French toast - fluffy bread! The custard might have had a hint of pandan in it too? And it came with lots of berries and powdered sugar. Portion size is definitely smaller than the savory items, but none of us left hungry!

    I'm a big fan of Asian fusion brunch spots so I knew I had to try this place when I came across it. The fried chicken and the tom yum shrimp omelette were both really good!! Everything is also very instagrammable. I would definitely come back and try some of the other dishes.

    Ocean Benedict
    Christine C.

    We've been here twice now and both times were delightful! Toast in Town has a good amount of seats outdoors and a decent size dining room indoors. Our last visit was earlier today with a party of 7 and they were able to accommodate us just fine. They are popular but you can add yourself to the waitlist when you're on your way to shorten wait time. There's also plenty of parking in the plaza. We've enjoyed the food both times we visited. So far, we have tried the Ocean Benedict (i.e. Crab Cake Benedict), Chicken Croffle (croissant waffle), and Roti Ham & Cheese. All were delightful and the Chicken Croffle remains my favorite with the savory sweet flavors with just a hint of spice, if you choose, with the sauce. It's delish! The Roti Ham & Cheese was like a quesadilla with roti and the sweet potato tots that comes with it were yumm. We'll be back!

    I came here with a party of 4. All of our food came out within 13 minutes. I devoured my golden ocean carbonara (Shrimps, garlic, onions, ebiko, with the house cream sauce). It was packed with flavor. The shrimps were well seasoned. The cream was light but thick enough to coat the noodles. I will be getting this again next time.

    Very expansive menu offered in a trendy, Instagram-friendly space. I ordered a roti ham and cheese. The roti had a nice texture, if a bit oily, but was otherwise pretty uninteresting. I thought there might be some kind of sauce or accompaniment, but it was just ham and cheese inside so a bit bland. However, this makes for a great kids' dish as it's very simple and comforting. For my friend's chicken sandwich, he wanted it without any of the coleslaw or pickles or sauce. When it came out with sauce, he was disappointed, since he had clarified with the server a few times. The server didn't write down the order so maybe that led to the confusion. Then there was some confusion in trying to explain what had happened and asking about having the item remade, and when it was, the chicken was not cooked through. At this point, my friend was pretty frustrated and just wanted to leave it. We were also charged for both sandwiches with a 15% discount on the remade one. I'd return to try other things and just be careful to communicate very clearly with the staff if I need any adjustments.

    Fried chicken croffle
    Julian L.

    The spot is solid, especially since there's plenty of outdoor seating--always a plus if you're bringing the dog along. We swung by for lunch on a Tuesday and the place was already buzzing, which is usually a good sign for any weekday. Food-wise, everything hit the mark. We tried a few dishes: Ham and Cheese Roti: Basically a Thai-style quesadilla. Using roti instead of a standard flour tortilla was a great call; it adds a much better texture. The sweet potato tater tots that came with this dish was tasty and well-executed. Fried Chicken Croffle: This was the standout. The chicken wasn't dry at all, and the "croffle" itself was impressive--it's made with a roti-style batter that gives it a unique texture. The only middle-of-the-road part was the lattes; they were just alright. Overall though, it's a great lunch find. Service was nice and efficient. Recommended if you're looking for a twist on brunch classics.

    This is a great place for brunch! We got lucky and did not have to wait at all to get a table. I really liked the fried chicken croffles and my bf really liked the steak sandwich. The drinks were really good too!

    I was pretty excited when Toast In Town came to this quiet plaza, as it needs more food diversity and businesses. Heck, Foster City barely had a full service brunch option as it was (not including hotel food)! When it appeared the menu was going to be Asian-inspired, I was intrigued. So, there's another Asian brunch place within city limits that has pretty identical dishes and menu style. Personally, I'm unsure of the affiliation, but I prefer the original location's prices and food preparation. While Toast In Town is questionably a reskin, and questionably repurposing Costco and Restaurant Depot items (croissants, bibigo cooked rice, spring mix), they do a decent job of a satisfying brunch. During prime brunch hours there is typically a wait, but otherwise it's quiet and quaint. There's also some tables for outdoor seating, though being inside with all the cute pillows and plushies feels nice. - Corn Cheese Rolls Interesting appetizer, as it's like a mozzarella stick filled with corn pieces, wrapped in egg roll wrapper. Would like a little more cheese than corn, and a sauce other than flavored mayonnaise, but worth a try. - Mozzarella Sticks The breading is more smooth, thick, and durable. It's like a hard mozzarella stick with a lot of stretchy cheese. I'd rather have it with a different sauce than their sweet chili. - Timeless Benedict Their benedicts are solid and straightforward! They toast the muffin well, have a good ingredient ratio, slice the tomato and ham perfectly, poach and place the egg appropriately, and have a good hollandaise flavor (this one in particular was basil). I didn't have high expectations for the potatoes, but they were actually hot and slightly crispy. The salad with sweet and sour-like dressing rounds out the dish. - Creme Brulee French Toast The custard is smooth and sweet, the toast is hot and crispy, and I love the torched sugar. It's pretty heavy and filling just by nature of being french toast. I'd wish the bottom toast was torched for the sugar crust as well. The brown sugar, scattered fruits, and walnuts are a bit random (the sugar actually makes it too sweet). - Chicken Croffles It was a standard and solid plate with two fried chicken pieces, and two toasted croffle pieces. The biscoff crumble was just there for dirt visuals. I don't think the sweet chili sauce really went well with the meal unless you really like that sweet and sour flavor with sriracha. We prefer this dish at the other Asian brunch place due to better ingredients and price. - Tokyo Ribeye The ribeye was cooked well, sliced perfectly, and had a nice sweet soy glaze. The seaweed on top was seasoned well, too, but kind of random on a steak. The egg and rice go well with the saucy steak, and the salad adds a bright and healthy balance to the dish. The dressing is thick, tangy, sweet, and sour. - Shibuya Chicken This is pretty much the Tokyo Ribeye, except with breaded chicken cutlet instead of steak. Love how the rice is still in the shape of the microwave bibigo cooked rice. - Ube Latte (Iced) Pretty drink, though it seems to be from powder. At least the powder is high quality and flavorful. It's creamy, nutty in a toasted coconut-like way, and pleasantly sweet. - Cha-Chak (Southern Thai Milk Tea) I'm not too sure what I was expecting, but it tastes like a creamy black milk tea, and not like Thai tea. My biggest deterrent is the price, though I'm not too surprised considering Foster City. While it's a copy of another restaurant and not made from scratch, I think Toast In Town at least provides a good presentation with technically sound execution.

    Hamburger with fries
    Joyce M.

    I've eaten here a few times and pleased with the consistency of their food. The ube lattes are so good! I prefer the hot (I can taste the ube) over the iced one (little hint of ube). The chicken croffle was tasty. They have the spicy sauce on the side which I liked as I am not a fan of spicy stuff. The chicken was crispy and has enough flavor that you can eat it without the spicy sauce. It's pretty big servings, two layers of chicken and two layers of the croffle. I had to take half home ‍ The hamburger was yummy too. And the fries were hot and fresh (almost as good as the McDonalds fries ) but not quite. Four stars because the servers can be slow and not attentive esp when they're busy. Overall, this is a cute place to have brunch, they add decorations based on the holiday or season (hence the heart pillow background with the lattes).

    Perfect lunch 5/5!!
    Yvonne Y.

    We found this place through Yelp, tried it once, and now we are hooked. The menu is very similar to Taste and Glory, but I actually like this spot more because the ambiance is much nicer and more relaxed for brunch or lunch. Our favorites are the chicken croffin and the crème brûlée French toast. The croffin is buttery and flaky with perfectly crispy chicken, and the French toast is rich and just sweet enough. Splitting one savory and one sweet is the perfect combo. The staff are always super friendly, and this place checks all the boxes for a great brunch spot. The only thing that could be better is the coffee, which tastes a bit weak and watery.

    Chicken croffle with a side of pandan sauce
    Lee K.

    Toast in Town offers a somewhat limited assortment of creative Eastern-Western fusion breakfast / brunch dishes. Everything on the menu looked appealing. We opted for the crab scramble with crispy mixed potatoes and side salad... and the chicken croffle with side of pandan. I appreciated that the crab scramble appeared on the menu as an omelette, I asked for it as a wet scramble and it turned out perfectly. The fresh brewed coffee was very good with abundant refills. Service was super attentive.

This time I tried their chili BBQ and asked for it to be extra seasoned. I wasn't sure if they were actually extra seasoned though, tbh. And while the fries were piping hot and fresh, they fell short on the crispiness. They were just hot and soft? I've also gotten the seaweed flavor before, and I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm just not too fond of their seasonings for some reason.

    Cool fries, potato guys…read more If you haven't guessed, they specialize in fries. They took over C Food Crush, which used to be San Mateo's only cajun boil place. It's a little odd for a french fry place to have a spacious area, as there's an entire seating area upstairs (so great for hangouts). There's also tables outside, but no seating on the first floor. They also do burgers and other fried snacks. Wish they still had soft serve, but it's discontinued. For their made-to-order crispy fries, you pick either regular or large, the style of fries, and then the flavor/seasoning. Just pick whatever you like best; you can do half and half flavors. Cajun is solid, similar to the cajun fries at any seafood boil place. Seaweed pepper salt is exactly like the Calbee seaweed potato chips - subtly sweet and umami. The garlic + parm flavor was a bit too thick and strong on the parm for me. Large is definitely worth sharing, though you can share regular, too, if you're okay with snack portions. They stack the fries high in the cup! Their chicken sandwich tastes like an upgraded McChicken, and their other fried items are just okay. I'd go here exclusively for the fries unless you want to junk out, as the prices are pretty reasonable. Because items are made to order, it will take at least 5 minutes to get your order unless you're the only customer, so don't expect fast food speed.

    There's a reason people from all over the Peninsula make the trip to this Irish pub on weekend…read morenights. it's become one of the few places in San Carlos that truly feels like nightlife. By day, it's warm, welcoming, and family-friendly. You'll see families enjoying dinner, friends catching up over drinks, and locals stopping in for great food and hospitality. But once Friday night hits, the entire atmosphere transforms. The lights dim, the music turns up, the dance floor fills, and the energy becomes something you'd expect to find in a much bigger city. Friday nights bring a fun mix of crowds; from younger groups looking for DJs, dancing, cocktails, and nightlife energy, to older guests enjoying the live music, atmosphere, and social vibe. Honestly, I'm a little older myself and still absolutely love the younger, high-energy scene here. It's fun, welcoming, and never feels out of place no matter your age. That's what makes this place so unique. Everyone fits in and everyone has a great time. Then Saturdays bring a completely different experience with live artists and an incredible variety of music. One weekend you'll hear young country performers getting the crowd singing along, and the next you'll find authentic Irish fiddlers creating that classic pub atmosphere everyone loves. That variety is what keeps people coming back..every weekend offers something different and memorable. The food is outstanding, the beer and cocktail selection is excellent, and the hospitality is second to none. I finally had the chance to meet Molly, the owner, and it's easy to see why this place has built such a loyal following. Her passion for creating a place where everyone feels welcome shows in every detail. From the amazing service to the live entertainment and unforgettable atmosphere, this isn't just another local pub. It's become a destination spot and one of the true nightlife gems in San Carlos. Highly recommend checking it out, especially on the weekends.
