    This place gets packed for lunch time. Thankfully it has a large parking lot but would recommend getting here early to snag a spot closer to the entrance. The space inside was very large. It splits into a right side and left side at the check-in desk. Interior design was beautiful and when we arrived for brunch, all seats were filled so would recommend making a reservation. I ordered the Classic Benedict w Cesar Salad. It was a perfect benedict and very filling. I did wish the Cesar salad had more of the dressing flavor. It looked well dressed however I wasn't tasting much of the dressing. Overall, I still enjoyed my food and our server was friendly and attentive, despite how busy the restaurant was.

    The Restaurant Is On The Corner Of State College & Birch. It Shares The Same Parking Lot As Residence Inn. My First Visit Was On Sunday, 5/31/26. Had A Reservation At 12:30pm. A Reservation Is Highly Recommended, Because It Was Packed When I Arrived!!! The Noise Level Was High!! Very Friendly Staff & Server. Food Was Pretty Good Along With The BloodyMaria I Had!

    Service was excellent and enjoyed the variety of food options. There was something for everyone to cater to our diverse flavor desires! The interior ambience is really pretty too with plenty of parking right outside.

    Brunch with sisters. Food was delicious and our waiter Andrew was great! Large portions. We will definitely be going back.

    Been waiting to try this place and met a friend for brunch and the vibes were high. It was busy, the booth wasn't cleaned well but we were seated close to our reservation time. Service was wonderful and the food was good! Sat outside on the covered patio and will certainly go back! Drinks were amazing, champagne poetry lived up to its name.

    Overall was okay just because it did take some time to get our food. Since we were sitting for about 25 minutes before we got our food. The hash brown chips sounded interesting but it is just potatoes that they cut into really small pieces but they werent crispy. Main problem is my girlfriend went to the restroom and it wasn't restocked yet with any paper towels. She went before we ordered they said they would get on it. After we finished she went again but still wasnt restocked yet so not sure if they forgot or was really busy.

    Short rib chilaquiles

    I was excited to try this place because of all the hype, but unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations. We were seated quickly on the patio with our dog, which I appreciated. However, the service was surprisingly slow, especially considering the patio wasn't busy and we arrived before noon. No one offered a water bowl for our dog despite the sunny weather, and we ended up opening our own umbrella because no staff member checked on us. Even getting water refills took much longer than expected. As for the food, it was underwhelming. The French toast was very dry, and the chocolate drizzle completely overpowered the dish. The red chilaquiles lacked flavor, the short rib was just okay and nothing memorable, and both the beans and rice were disappointing, with the rice being mushy. The biggest letdown was the cucumber Spritz cocktail. It tasted mostly like plain club soda with very little flavor. Overall, I don't understand the hype. While the seating was quick and the patio was nice, the slow service and bland food made for a disappointing experience, and I wouldn't return based on this visit.

    Churro French Toast, Chocolate Velvet Pancake, Breakfast Burrito
    Kiana L.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Side of eggs and potatoes
    Bertha V.

    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.

    Requested a West side with Vodka!

    "BET" This is a Hot spot it will not disappoint go ahead and Book your breakfast/brunch reservation on Yelp otherwise you will find your self and your family waiting! Ask to sit at Luke's tables he is super awesome! Friendly, attentive and helpful! Leo is the manager he is also super helpful and nice! Food is pretty good our family favorites are Steak and eggs with Country fried potatoes! FYI you might want to request your waffle not be overcooked and burnt request soft it takes so much better! The veggie omelette is also a good choice! If you're looking for a restaurant that could accommodate large parties this is your spot! Issa whole vibe!!! Mommy juice if you like vodka get the pear pressure, and request an east side with vodka Bartenders could make Eric and Chewy are the best there as far as bartenders, and if you feel like Tequila get the mescal margaritas a regular customer my husband and I met on New Year's Eve introduced us to this and it is a hit!!! Loyal customer here for brunch and dinner!!! Dinner is a must too my personal fave the appetizer short rib tacos sauce on the side, main Chicken piccata is chefs kiss and the short rib dinner is so yummy!!!

    Can you order takeout?

    Any gluten free options on the menu?

    Yes.

    Are dogs still welcome for brunch?

    I believe in the patio area. I was there last week and saw someone with a really small dog.

    Is the parking lot construction completed yet?

    There is parking as you get in the parking lot even though their still doing construction on the side. But that doesn't interfere with the parking lot so you will be able to find parking.

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes via opentable and call ins there is a link on our Yelp page

    Are there bottomless mimosas & what are the hours for Happy Hour? :)

    No bottomless, 25$ per bottle. Happy hour: Mon-Fri 11am-close get half off ONE regular mimosa with purchase of an entree

    What are the vegan options?

    All egg items can be my with “the Veg” we have avocado toast. And vegan hollandaise

    Where is parking located? Handicap available?

    The parking entrance is through Birch. All of that parking lot is for Toast. Yes it has Handicap parking spots.

    The reservations are booked until 8/6/21 :( how long is the wait usually for a group of maybe 7?

    There shouldn't be any waiting time. This is a regular Friday. We waited 20 minutes on Mother's Day but never on a regular day.

    Is it the same chef as the Dylan because the food was not good and I'll try it if it's better food ?!And is it the same company as the Costa Mesa Toast because it looks like same sign/font as Costa Mesa?

    Toast was formed in 2015 and began operations in 2016 in Whittier using a serif font in their marketing. The logo can be seen on Instagram in 2016 as well as Tshirt's as early as 2018. The first Toast is 5.5 miles from Toast Brea. 0 affiliation… 

    I made reservation. But the email showed Dylan. Is that right?

    The restaurant used to be The Dylan and they probably haven't changed the name on the website that lists reservations

    No, this is Toast Restaurant Group establish in 2016. Toast Cafe whittier, The Benediction by Toast and Toast Kitchen and bar - Brea.

    Came for a girls lunch date earlier to this weekend and this spot did not disappoint!…read more THE SERVICE: 5/5 - Quick, friendly, accommodating, and our waiter made a real effort to engage in conversation with us. The FOOD: 4.5/5 | Drinks: 5/5 Off the appetizers, we had the pork belly bites and dirty fries! First dish came with a long hot pepper, several mini tortillas, and 2 dipping sauces. The pork was crunchy on the outside and soft+succulent on the inside. I can see myself doubling up on this appetizer the next time I come. Dirty fries were great; it came with a generous amount of pickled onions - providing a really nice contrast to the savoriness of our meal. Our waiter graciously accommodated our request to have the egg on the side. Off the entrée/taco menu, my friend ordered the Korean tacos and I got the Ensenada (fish) tacos. But you can also order the Ensenada tacos with shrimp. These were delicious, I would have loved a little more lime crema to go with the fish - but not a big deal. I got a Watermelon Margarita. I wasn't expecting it to be HUGE, but it was the perfect amount considering how much food we as a pair ordered. My friend ordered the La Toxica table side cocktail and one additional mango cocktail. Table side cocktail was a whole show and my friend really enjoyed it. We had a great lunch at Tempo Cantina. I can't wait to try more of their bar menu, maybe even at night when the restaurant is lively

It didn't taste as good and wasn't as juicy sadly. The sauces were still consistent but the pork belly itself was a bit lackluster from before Tinga taquitos- these used to be so juicy, the chicken inside was a bit dry and the tortilla itself was too thick. U def need to use the sauces they provide to offset the dryness Grilled Octopus- this dish was good, octopus was juicy but portion was a bit small for what it was. It also came with sweet potato fries Loaded fries- idk what I was expecting but these were just fries with buffalo chicken nuggets on top. Don't get me wrong this was decent and the buffalo chicken was tangy and juicy! Thirsty Thursday deals happen all day $7 margs and you know I had to get some. Mango was the sweetest, strawberry was not bad, guava was the best in balance of flavor in sweetness and alcohol. Overall not a bad experience but note if u haven't came here in a while, the food quality has changed sadly

There's no dedicated server and instead multiple people (four in our case) randomly take orders, ignore you, or interrupt throughout the meal. This chaotic system led to duplicate orders and a ridiculous confrontation at the end over hashbrowns. When we had questions about the bill for food we never received, the owner stepped in and immediately escalated the situation with our dads on Father's Day all over a $5 side of hashbrowns. I've never seen this combative attitude by any restaurant owner in my entire life. The food itself was mostly good (minor issues aside) but nearly everything is an unadvertised extra (even $0.50 for salsa on tacos). We wanted to love it, but left shaking our heads after spending $250. Save yourself the money and the headache. I've seen the owner attacking other honest reviewers, which only proves the point and I'm sure you'll see below. Best of luck to him and his family...I hope this is taken as constructive criticism.

Life happened, years passed, and somehow I never made it back. Fast forward to today: I was driving my Tesla, jokingly asked Grok to take me somewhere for a beer, and it pointed me right back here. Walking in felt like revisiting a place that had been quietly waiting in the background of my story. The centerpiece is still the incredible bar. Shelves stacked floor to ceiling with whiskey bottles, glowing green tile behind the taps, warm lighting, and enough character that you can spend half your time simply looking around. It's the kind of room that feels both energetic and comfortable at the same time. I grabbed a seat at the bar, watched a soccer match on the TVs, and ordered an Old Fashioned. It arrived exactly the way I hoped it would: large clear ice cube, generous orange peel, balanced and smooth without trying too hard. Just a well-made classic cocktail. What stood out most was the atmosphere. These days I'm much more likely to be exploring hiking trails, photographing wildflowers, or driving mountain roads than spending time in bars. Twelve years ago, places like this were a much more regular part of my life. Coming back reminded me why I enjoyed them in the first place. Good conversation, a comfortable seat, a quality drink, and no rush to be anywhere else. The beer taps looked extensive, the whiskey selection seemed endless, and the entire place struck a balance between neighborhood pub and whiskey destination. Funny how a random AI navigation suggestion brought me back to a place I'd been meaning to revisit for over a decade. Glad it finally did. 5 stars.

All adjectives you want running through your mind after the first bitesss. We ordered stuffed mushroom- hot and nicely seasoned. Mushrooms not overcooked and stuffing not overly cheesy. The shrimp linguine another hit with fresh tomatoes and jumbo shrimp with a nice snap. The light seasoning with lots of garlic was just perfect. We also ordered the beef short ribs. My friend said it melted on her mouth and the fresh mash potatoes- just right. Did I mention the portions were huge! Lots of goodies to take with us. To add to the dining experience we watched as patrons steadily came and went throughout the evening. You can tell this is a favorite for many. There were High-5s, handshakes and lots of "Welcome back friends!" Just an overall beautifully decked out neighborhood restaurant with so much heart and soul. I heard that the restaurant has been handed down from their grandparents... I'm sure they would be very proud. Highly recommend.
