I've visited Toast in Whittier which I wasn't as impressed enough to leave a review but today I came to brunch with my husband, daughter and her boyfriend. We made a reservation and were seated immediately. This location is always very clean and welcoming. We ordered strawberry mimosas, the simple breakfast, omelettes and a burrito with a side of green sauce. Everything was cooked to perfection. The best part of this visit was being served by Thaer. Thaer was a great waiter and extremely attentive. He continued to check on us and did not try to rush us out even though we took quite a bit of time. We would definitely recommend this location and we will definitely be back with hopes to be served by Thaer again! (Sorry not photos, we came hungry and I forgot to take them ‍) read more

Came here for breakfast with my son. I have passed by this place so many times and I finally made it inside. You have to be careful not to pass it since there is only one entrance to the parking lot , if you pass the entrance you will have to make a U-turn and come back. We didn't think we would get seated fast because the parking lot was pretty full. But we got lucky and were seated right away. Service is pretty good , they have a lot of people working here. The place is really big and has a lot of seating. It was quite busy. I ordered a Spanish omelette and my son ordered the blueberry pancakes. My omelette was ok, it had way too much peppers and I didn't see the cheese , it comes with a side so I went with country potato with onions and bell peppers. I only wish that it included some kind of toast. My son's pancakes were ok, they are only topped with blueberries we thought the blueberries were going to be inside the batter or inside the pancake. He had to add a lot of syrup to make them soft. The one thing I will say is that the house coffee is very good. It's Lavazza coffee which is really good. I wouldn't mind coming back and trying some other options or coming back for lunch or happy hour. read more

Place is nice. Parking is plenty but bit tricky to enter. I entered through the hotel parking lot and realized they connect and become shared parking with the restaurant. Had Benedict and was delicious. But the start of the of the show was Bloody Mary. It's true, bacon makes everything better. Service was good. Our waiter took our order promptly and precisely read more

Leaving a follow up review here. Went for Mother's Day brunch and even though the place was packed they served the food quickly and didn't rush us out. The eggs benefit were still great. Always a favorite. read more

I love coming to Toast Kitchen & Bar. It honestly feels like a little hidden gem, and every time I visit it reminds me why I keep coming back. On our last visit we ordered the breakfast burrito, velvet waffles, and the churro French toast, and everything was really good. I have to say though, the breakfast burrito is easily one of the best I've had. It's actually the one thing I always order whenever I come here because it's just that good. It's hearty, flavorful, and super satisfying, making it the perfect brunch dish. The velvet waffles were also great. They weren't overly sweet, which I personally like, and when paired with the cream cheese frosting it created a really nice balance of flavors. It felt indulgent without being too heavy. The churro French toast was another highlight and had that warm cinnamon sugar flavor that made it feel like a fun brunch treat. The restaurant itself is also really spacious inside, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable. It's a great place to come with friends and actually sit, chat, and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. The staff are also very friendly and welcoming, which always makes the visit even better. read more

Toast Kitchen & Bar - Churro French Toast, Chocolate Velvet Pancake, Breakfast Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

This is a great spot to have brunch with friends. The inside is spacious and can be great for groups. I think their coffee and cocktails are solid. Their plates are massive and shareable. I wouldn't say the food is great. It's just okay. I've had their green chilaquiles. They come with Spanish rice and black beans. It wasn't a standout dish, and I wasn't a fan of the rice or beans. My friend loved her Spanish omelette and the house potatoes they're served with. I went on a Friday morning and we were sat right away. However, I have seen it packed on weekends, so you might have a wait depending on the window you visit. The staff wasn't inviting. They felt a bit cold. It's pricey spot, but I recommend sharing a plate since they're massive. read more

Food was excellent. I got the biscuits and gravy that came with 2 sides of your choice. I got it with hashed browns and sausage links. My husband got their steak burrito which came with a side of his choice (bacon). The food came out quick which we appreciated. Our food tasted great. The place is big, spacious, bright and very inviting. Our waiter was busy but attentive when he could be. I'd totally come back to try their other stuff. We came in on an early Sunday morning and it wasn't crowded (yet). We got seated upon arrival. I can picture this place getting packed though. They do take reservations. I'd recommend. read more

We came here for my sister's birthday as I had been here for dinner before and enjoyed the drinks and the ambiance. We also love Story, by the same company in Anaheim Hills. Let's start with the service, the reason for the docking of 1 star. My sister asked the server to bring a birthday treat for the birthday girl and they said they would add a candle onto whatever sweet we ordered. We had a reservation for 6 people and were seated in a booth. My sister thought it seemed too tight for 6 so she asked if we could be moved to a table and our server, Luke, was huffy as he moved us to a table instead. Then, he kept forgetting my sister's coffee and she had to ask for it 3 times. He also didn't bring the birthday girl's side of biscuit until she was halfway through her meal. Lastly, he omitted the candle on the french toast we ordered making it super awkward as we had to tell the birthday girl to wait and then go ask them for the candle. The food and drinks however were delicious! I got the spanish omelette which was light enough even though it was 3 eggs. We were intrigued by the hash brown chips which tasted a bit like flattened but crispier in n out fries - pretty good. Someone in our party is vegan and she was pleased to find they had vegan eggs and cheese! The best part was the churro french toast - absolutely delicious with little churro pieces on top! My strawberry gimlet was delicious and tasted like it had fresh strawberries pureed inside. The girl scout was the best non-fruity drink my sister said she's ever had. The spicy margarita was delicious. I'd definitely come back here just for the drinks and some dessert! The guava mimosa was probably the only disappointing drink - tasted like a regular mimosa with barely any guava taste. read more

My favorite go-to place for weekend brunch! Great location as it is right off the 57 freeway, and very close to the Brea mall. Depending on the time, the wait on the weekend can be very long up to an hour or so. Since I have been here many times, my secret to avoid the long wait on the weekend is to go before the "after-church crowd" IYKYK A simple yet plenty of deliciousness from the brunch menu! My favorites are the omelettes and the benedicts. Though I am a bit sad that it no longer offers the lobster benedict. However you can't go wrong with any of other offerings from the brunch menu. Everything tastes freshly made, and good portions as well. On my most recent visit, instead of the usual omelette or benedict, I had the brunch burger (8oz beef/chorizo patty with slices of bacon and fresh avocado, a fried egg sunny side up, all on a brioche bun). Just added another favorite to my list! Great service and ambience as expected during brunch/lunch hours. Decent price for high quality and good portion size. Again, on the weekend, it can be pretty busy and crowded, and parking wise, one may have to park in the nearby hotel parking spaces, but it's all worth it! Definitely worth checking it out when in the area. read more

If you're craving traditional breakfast food, this place is great. The vibes were lovely, as the space had a lot of plants and cute decor. Service was attentive and friendly. I was def a fan. Orders: Simple classic breakfast: the surprising star of this meal was my dry multigrain toast. It was a thick slice and had a nice chew. It was how I imagine toasted breakfast bread should be. The eggs, bacon, and potatoes were good too. Large portions size, so I left feeling full. Veggie omelette: a large portion of potatoes and a very hearty omelette. Well seasoned, and filling. Would order again. Overall, we had a great experience! read more

Came to Toast kitchen with my girlfriend, her sister, her cousin and her cousin's husband after church for brunch. I ordered the French toast combo with eggs and bacon. It came with blueberries, strawberries, chocolate sauce, and cream cheese frosting. Absolutely delicious . I cleaned my plates. Everyone else enjoyed their food as well. Service was good, with our server refilling the coffee several times and checking in regularly. Prices are reasonable. We will return. read more

We went on a Sunday. Get there before 10 since the parking lot does get full and the crowd starts to roll in. Service was great and very attentive. The decor was like it was someone's house with the nice vases and pictures. Looks very clean but homey. This location is a lot bigger than the one they have in Tustin. Food was delicious and definitely would go back. read more

Good simple brunch spot. We were able to make reservations for breakfast on a Saturday! By 9am there was a decent crowd of people. There was a variety of dishes such as chilaquiles, avocado toasts, French toasts and Benedicts. All dishes come with a side. Side options: potatoes, hash browns, fries , fruit, Caesar Salad or Arugula Salad l. We split breakfast burrito that has sausage ham and bacon, with cheese egg and hash brown with green salsa, along with a salmon Benedict. Service was fast and good came out at a reasonable time. Lattes were delicious. They offer oat milk as a nondairy milk substitute. read more

I've been to Toast multiple times and have never been disappointed! Their eggs benedict & country potatoes are such a perfect duo, I feel like when you go here you have to get it! I also love that there are a variety of different breakfast items you can choose from; like multiple eggs benedict, multiple omelettes, etc. Service is just okay. Toast has gotten even more busy over the years, that my friend and I had to wait 40+ minutes to be seated despite being on the waitlist. Inside is really nice and spacious. There are options to sit indoors or outside. Although it can get busy, Toast is worth the wait and probably one of the best brunch spots in OC. read more

Service was decent. Outside patio area was a disappointment. The table they sat us at was dirty and had to ask for it to be cleaned, then the booth seats were dirty from the outside and probably haven't been wiped down for awhile the way it looked. Just felt grimy and gross. Food was just okay, I ordered the chilaquiles with green sauce and chorizo. Food was like warm like it had been sitting for a bit. And not sure why the chorizo was separated instead of mixed together. The best part I had to say was the Iced Mexican Latte. That's what saved the day. read more

I've came here a couple times I can't believe I haven't reviewed it! Came here earlier this month and we got seated right away which isn't a problem since they have so much space here it's perfect for big or small parties! The food is pretty good I don't think I have complaints. I just felt like we had to keep reminding our waiter to bring us something and he would say yes and then forget for over 15 minutes which I would get if it was busy but wasn't. Not a huge deal but that's probably what's holding me back from 5 stars but I do enjoy coming here. read more

A Good Choice For Breakfast..... My wife and I were in town for Thanksgiving with family nearby so one of our breakfasts was at Toast. Ratings..... - Overall: 4 - Location: 5 - Exterior: 4 - Ambiance: 3 - Menu: 4 - Food Quality: 3 - Food Portion: 4 - Service: 5 - Price and Value: 4 - Parking: 5 - Bathroom: 4 - Location: Excellent if you're within 5 miles of Brea. On College Blvd across from the Brea Mall and just off Highway 57. - Menu: Large. Several things in most categories of American style food. Good for vegetarians. - Exterior: Rustic yet contemporary. A big place with many different rooms. - Ambiance: Casual. Lots of families so it can get noisy. - Food: Overall...good. We've been here 3 times for breakfast and I got a Vegetable Omelette ($17) at each one. The first 2 earned a 4, but the recent one got a 3. The egg wrapping was thin and rubbery while the vegetables seemed cooked after being frozen. A small bowl of fruit came with it. My wife got Avocado Toast ($17) each time and really liked it. The dish came with fruit and toast. She added a Latte ($6.75) - Service: Attentive and friendly. Everyone had a smile. - Price and Value: Decent portions for a fair price. - Parking: No problem.

HAVE: 5/5 Chimichurri Steak Breakfast 5/5 Chilaquiles 5/5 Classic Pancake TAKES: I preferred my steak well done and a common challenge with a well-done steak is dryness, but their chimichurri steak was exceptional - it was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The classic pancake is huge - one single piece that fills the whole plate. And their chilaquiles - it's delicious and the portion is shareable. The place is known for brunch. It's a newer restaurant - modern, clean, and spacious. Great service! They were very busy, but the staff were fast and efficient read more

#FriendsGiving Tea Experience- how fun! Nice ambiance, and conveniently located between Imperial and Lambert. The inside is spacious with various seating arrangements and the outside offers a place for you to come and enjoy the tasty food with the pooch or just enjoy the shade and fresh air I ordered the chicken pesto and arugula flatbread from the Shareable Menu - so good, you may not want to share it. My friend ordered a large waffle from a stellar menu, and she said it was delicious. I Friendly ambience greeter, and serve staff. Looks like there's a new area of being developed for cocktails indoors. You can book your reservations online or call ahead for the weekends. Pet friendly, pleasantly situated courtyard with shade. The entrance approach is a bit tricky-enter off State College. It's located on the corner. read more

This is a totally new restaurant that took over the old Claimjumper's site. If you look carefully, there is a pink painted barrel outside and two old mining carts outside, and you can sense what was there before. But the interior is very light and clean. The menu has a large variety for all tastes. Brunch is served until three o'clock. My friend and I opted for the half portion House French Toast and added the optional two sides. My Hash Brown Chips were unique...crunchy, thin brown potato slivers that were addictive. Scrambled eggs were fluffy and generous. However, coffee was not especially hot in temperature and needed prompting to refill. The restaurant is not over loud so you can converse, which is a rare thing nowadays. read more

I liked my arugula salad and Hickory Smoked Shoulder Bacon, which was thick/not crispy. The ube pancakes were pretty good - 3.5/5; the presentation was fine, but the taste wasn't anything special. The Filet Mignon Béarnaise Benedict was okay - the meat tasted funny, and I don't think it's worth $30. Service - I felt rushed by the employee to order and get out. We ordered a lot of food, which came out quickly. Short wait for a Saturday early afternoon. Ambiance - we sat outside, which was nice. The inside didn't look too busy. The outside looks like a Denny's, and the inside looks like they are working on making it look hip and modern. read more

We had an early dinner, at 4pm to celebrate Mother's Day with our group of 11. Previously, we have come to Toast for a nice brunch but decided to try dinner. It wasn't busy at all and our server was very attentive to our needs. There was some confusion about the availability of the Happy Hour Menu but after a bit of discussion, we were able to get those food and drink items. Yummy appetizers included Parmesan fries, short rib fries, shrimp and green beans. My wife had the Salmon and I had the Chicken Picatta and they were both delicious. Other orders include salads, which were very generous, with salmon; pasta and sandwiches. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service and will be back. read more

I stopped by here for brunch with friends before heading over to Brea Mall which is right next door and convenient. The parking is right next to a apartment and it was relatively easy to find an open space. Perhaps due to the day and time I went, there was zero wait but if it is a more busy day I heard that there could be a bit of a wait. The interior is big and clean and can accommodate a large number of people. The service was friendly and attentive. My friend and I decided on the Denver Omelette (with a side of hash brown chips) and the House French Toast (half). Even though we ordered the half size of the french toast we were pleasantly surprised that the portion is quite large. The hash brown chips were kinda unique, crunchy and flavorful. Almost like slightly overcooked fries? Both the dishes were really delicious, though definitely is a bit on the pricier side. I would definitely consider coming back here for a treat and brunch with friends when I am in the area. read more

If you make a reservation, just be sure all your parties are there before they will seat you. It gets very busy during the weekend brunch time. It's very loud in there because obviously the drinks are flowing! Inside it looks so serene and very beautifully decorated. There are two sections so this restaurant is pretty big and I typically like the left side where it has a more cooler pallet versus the right side. I was very impressed with the menu, but not the service today. The guy looked extremely rushed, and they may have been shorthanded because it looked like he was taking care of the entire left section that was filled completely. We were lucky that he was good to look at so we forgave a lot of his stress. But I'm sure when better staffed the service would've been excellent. Food wise the Benedict was so curdled we had to return it for another dish, but the waiter was very accommodating to that request. I do believe this is a one off situation as I've been here in the past and it never tasted like this. I am not sure about the drinks, but my girlfriends were totally buzzed even after the first sip, so I'm sure the bartender did many heavy pours early in a day. Relatively good price and menu and definitely beautiful ambience. Would definitely give this place another try. Parking can be quite challenging when it's busy but there's always a lot of parking by the hotel area. The restaurant is right by the residence Inn. read more

There are places you go back to because they just get it right, and Toast falls into that category for me. I ordered the brunch burger and it hit that sweet spot between comfort food and something thoughtfully put together. The patty was juicy, the egg was cooked just right, and everything came together without feeling heavy or sloppy. It tasted fresh and well seasoned, which is not always a given with brunch burgers. Service was easygoing and attentive. Orders were taken without rushing, food came out at a good pace, and staff checked in enough to make sure everything was good without hovering. It felt genuinely welcoming rather than scripted. The ambience works well for brunch. Bright, relaxed, and casual, with a vibe that makes it easy to linger over your meal and coffee. It is the kind of place that works for both a laid back weekend meal or a casual catch up with friends. Between the solid food, friendly service, and comfortable setting, Toast delivered a great overall experience. I would happily come back to try more of the menu. read more
