    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
    Alexis R.

    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!

    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

    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!

    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.

    Michelle A.

    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!

    Hi Laraine, we do have gluten-free toast available to modify some of our dishes. Unfortunately, we don’t offer gluten-free pancakes.

    How's the parking in this area?

    The parking is difficult. Toast is in a line of stores so there's no dedicated parking.

    They have a bar and happy hour but close at 3:00 daily. I'm confused. Does the bar reopen in the evening?

    Do you guys take reservations for Sunday brunch? (Party of 6 or more)

    Yes

    What are the vegan options?

The atmosphere could have been cool, but every 5 minutes the bright hallway light blasted through the western-style swinging door and completely ruined the dark speakeasy vibe. The drinks were tiny and overpriced. We ordered two Old Fashioneds and the giant ice cubes took up almost the entire glass. Larger than a normal square ice cube- a little taller. But it seriously felt like they split one drink into two. Barely a shot in each glass, and the cocktails themselves were just so-so. Very syrup-y flavor. Definitely not "bespoke" or unique the was the server was upselling us. Service started good but when he got busy it went downhill. And by busy he got (1) 5 top.....He was excited about explaining the menu but then never once came back to check on us. When we finally flagged him down and asked for the check, he just dropped the handheld payment terminal on the table, walked away, grabbed it when we finished paying, and said absolutely nothing... no "thank you," no "have a great night," nothing. And this was after we still tipped 20%. Definitely not worth the money, service, or atmosphere. We won't be back.
