    Stopped in for breakfast this morning after doctor appointments. Montana was our server and was patient and kind. We started with coffee and cappuccino. The ambiance was upbeat and positive. I had the two egg breakfast with sliced tomatoes, bacon and sausage and my wife had the chicken club sandwich. They also offer fresh baked pies and cookies which sell out fast.

    New menu items: Waldorf sandwich and Jasmine Tea French Toast and Drink Menu

    I was surprised by how much I loved the ube French toast. It looked a little deceiving when it arrived because it seemed skimpy on the cream. However, each half was stuffed with cream and there was an extra dollop on top so there was plenty to go around. The ube cream was not too sweet which allowed the ube flavor to shine through. I don't think the mango and blueberry sauce was necessary because it detracted from the ube. The brioche was also surprisingly soft which made me wanting more after every bite. My main entree was the bacon breakfast burrito which perfectly satisfied my craving. The tater tots were crispy, the bacon added saltiness, and the eggs made it filling. It came with a side of salsa verde which was necessary when I wanted to change up the flavor. I also loved the sisig burrito. The pork belly was a bit too fatty in some bites for me but it was balanced out by the other ingredients: kalamansi mayo, fontina, eggs, red onion, and French fries. The mayo is really what brought the burrito together. I loved the flour tortilla on both of them. We came towards the end of the day so it was pretty empty and the service was good. The inside is very home-like so it had a comfortable atmosphere.

    Breakfast Sandwich

    Been wanting to come here since it opened and finally had the chance last week. Came on a weekday so there was no wait and were helped right away. My husband got the breakfast burrito and I got the breakfast sandwich and then we split the ube French toast bc why not. My breakfast sandwich was one of the best I've ever had no joke. The fact that they add a hash brown in it is a game changer and the bread is amazing. 10/10 would recommend! And the French toast was hood but very rich. Had a great brunch experience and would definitely come back!

    Thought I lucked out when I scored parking and a table right away. My server was nice, but service was average. It didn't seem too busy there when I dined, but food did take a while to get. Server recommended Ube French Toast so I decided to try it. I thought it was okay; nothing special.

    Chicken and waffles

    Great place. I got the chicken and waffles. The food was amazing. Good service. Love the atmosphere.

    I've been meaning to try this location for the longest time! My friend and I headed over after a cycle class. We were told it would be a 20 minute wait, but there was a long time. Plan ahead if you're a larger group cause this place can get busy on the weekends. Parking is also a struggle, we needed to park near Walgreens. My friend and I shared a breakfast burrito, it was delicious. I also really wanted the Uber French toast, but didn't want the whole portion. Our waiter recommended just getting the Ube cream on a side of regular French toast and it hit the spot! Worth a try, head over!

    Chilaquiles!
    Ian C.

    Me and my cousin decided to hit this place up after hanging out in the morning. Parking could be a hassle because it is a small strip mall with several other businesses and parking fills up quick but we got lucky and found a spot. We waited outside before a host directed us to our table that was inside. Place was pretty busy! I looked through the menu thoroughly and already was dead set on what to get. Our server brought us water and my cousin got the chicken and waffles while I had the chilaquiles! We also ordered drinks and I opted for the yuzu lemonade. The yuzu lemonade came out and it was very refreshing! A slight hint of yuzu followed by a smooth tasting lemonade! Our food came out and holy hell there is a lot of it when you order the chilaquiles! I tried a chip and it was crispy even though it was slathered in the sauce. All of which was delicious along with the shredded pork, sunny side up egg and what looked to be pickled onions! Overall with the drink and dish, jt was $29 with tip as well. Pretty good price considering all the food that was served! I was pretty satisfied! Service was quick and chill as well. If you're in the area definitely get your breakfast fix here! Just maybe worry a lil about parking! You'll find a spot though I promise haha!

    Mini Lemon meringue pie
    Kelsey c.

    Dear Joshua, You're the best. You went above and beyond to make sure I got the lemon meringue pies I ordered. Also, to the chefs who put "extra love, time and dedication" into those pies... thank you! I am so appreciative. Back story, they sold out but made extra ones special for me to pick up at the end of the day yesterday. The lemon filing was absolutely delicious and the meringue was extra fluffy, like eating a cloud. You saved Thanksgiving, period

    Highly recommend if you're in the area!! Upon walking in, the interior is beautifully decorated. We were also seated right away even though it was around 12:20 pm on a saturday. Our sever was helpful and informed us of popular options and a run down of the menu. Additionally, they were always ready to refill our water cups! I got the ube toast, and it was such a unique taste that I loved! While you could split it and add a savory option, I was able to eat it myself and not feel uncomfortably stuffed. 5/5

    Quite possibly one of the best breakfast burritos ever !!
    Carrie R.

    I was greeted by an amazing lady named Mimi. She was so sweet with an inviting, warm soul. I ordered the bacon breakfast burrito, wet, and added avocado. It was delicious. And huge! The eggs inside were so creamy. Cooked just perfectly. They have a beautiful pastry case with amazing desserts. Took several treats to go. I highly recommend this family owned restaurant & bakery. Clean restrooms. Easy parking in the front. They have multiple locations.

    Great waiter! The Bloody Mary was perfect, I got the regular nit the spicy. Ladies had a mimosa bottle, apparently best value after two. Chilaquiles, fried chicken and waffles and the pork belly bowl, all delicious! Sat outside with the dog, the weather was warm and the street was generally quiet maybe because the holiday weekend.

    The ingredients were very high end, and I really enjoyed the hash brown in my breakfast sandwich, and the portions were HUGE! I'm giving the coffee a 0/10 though. The "cold brew" was watery and weak, the vanilla latte was more milk than coffee The service was a little slow, and there was no toilet paper in any of the women's room stalls. Ambiance was nice though!

    Pork Belly Banh Mi
    Reggie C.

    Wow. Whatever you're doing, take a break and head down to Toast & Bakery. Food is CRAZY good, service was on point, and the restaurant itself has a very laid back and chill vibe. We had the Pork Belly Banh Mi and my bro had the Pork Belly bowl. Do yourself the favor and get down here for a great meal!

    Yes

    What are the vegan options?

The space is small, cozy, and intimate with just a few tables.

It was really unique with the cream cheese topping, but the combination worked so well. Definitely a fun spot for cocktails and something a little different!

    Lets try this again since my original review was removed…read more The night was going great. We just had dinner near by and decided get drinks here. We've been here a few times before and always thought it was decent. So, we made the last minute reservation online and got here 15 minutes early. When we arrived, there was a short line, but per the reservation instructions, one of my friends went in to check in while we waited outside. Friend: Hi, I'm checking in for a reservation. Bartender: What time is your reservation. Friend: 10 Bartender: What time is it now? Friend: 9:45 Bartender: Then I'll see you at 10pm. Friend came back annoyed and explained what happened. The bartender didn't say it in a joking way, but with attitude and annoyance. Most staff would respond "Thank you for checking in, we will let you know when your table is available." We weren't going to let this ruin our night, so we waited and were seated by the hostess. The bar itself is dimly lit and very tight. The music was loud enough that we had to almost yell to hear each other. The waiter came by soon after and was extremely friendly. We said we'd been here a few times before, but it's been a while. He refreshes our memory by saying they specialize making variations of classics. They want customers to focus on the flavors and that's why the menu doesn't list the spirit in their drinks. Also, they only make drinks on the menu because their drinks are prebatched/premade. We ask for recommendations which he was happy to give. We each order a drink and a snack for the table. As we're talking (very loudly so we can hear each other), we lose track of time before we realize that it's been 20 minutes and we haven't gotten our drinks yet. For something that's prebatched, it shouldn't take long. Before we can flag down the waiter, he comes by and apologizes that they lost our order and had to put it back in. We appreciate the honesty and say it's no problem. 5 minutes later, our drinks and food arrives. He again apologizes for the wait and has a second order of our food that he's including for free. Honestly we were ok with just the apology, but extra food too? Hell yea. Sounds like it was turning around. The drinks were okay. Not amazing, but definitely above average 3.8 / 5. The snack, bread and butter, were surprisingly good. 4.5 / 5 When we asked for the check, the waiter brought the credit card reader and told us we can swipe our card any time and left it on our table. We look at the bill and realize the waiter not only gave us the 2nd snack for free, but comp'd 2 of the drinks also. We all agree this waiter is GREAT. So why the 2 stars? Well first let me say, I would leave it at 1 star, but the waiter definitely earned them another. We wanted to pay cash, so we waited for him to come back. Instead, the original rude bartender comes by and realizes we haven't paid yet. We ask if we can pay with cash. He explains that they don't accept cash. Friend: Are you sure? *Proceeds to try to insert cash into the chip reader slot* Bartender: You're pretty stupid, aren't you? Friend: Maybe if I swipe it instead *Doubles down and proceeds to swipe the cash through the magnetic strip reader* Bartender: Wow, you really are stupid. My friend is a 100% a goofball and having fun with the bartender. It was OBVIOUS that he was joking. Was it funny? A little. Was it stupid? 100%. But for the bartender or ANY customer service staff to call a paying customer "stupid", that's simply unacceptable. We're all pretty pissed at this point and simply swipe the card and the bartender leaves. As I said earlier, we've come here a few times. We don't live especially close, but when we're in the area, we would always consider coming here. Now, there's no chance. For any business, even if your drinks and food are great, customer service can easily DESTROY your experience and that's exactly what the bartender did. Note to the male bartender with no hair: You really shouldn't be interacting with customers. You were rude from the start and have no sense of humor. Could you be having a bad day? Sure, but that's not an excuse to be rude to customers. I know management saw my original post because it was removed, probably because I referred to the bartender by his hairstyle (or lack thereof) multiple times. If they rather remove my post than deal with their bartender, that's another sign to avoid this place.

We were seated at the bar which worked out perfectly for us. We were greeted by a friendly, wonderful bartender (I *think* his name was Danny? Sorry if I got this wrong!) who created our tasty Polynesian themed cocktails for us. It didn't take long for us to release the tension in our shoulders, laugh a little more, and ease into relaxation here. Going for the full experience, we also had reservations at their speakeasy, The Belly of the Beast. We were well into the Hawaiian spirit as we moved into that delightful space next (also reviewed). We weren't really ready to head home yet, so we were able to be reseated back at the bar. Our new bartender was fantastic, too! He made what might be my new favorite drink for the now, "The Bitter End". The Stowaway had been on my radar for a while, but I'm IE and it's OC, and it's easier to get to Maui. But on THIS night, it was a pilgrimage. And so, SO glad we came out. It'll definitely be a stop when out this way.
