4.5: Food, service and price: awesome, which is really what matters. Atmosphere, location and baked goods: OK. These days it's hard to find a cafe that isn't overpriced and better than just average. But Toasted Oat hits the high points of quality of cook on the food, even if the ingredients may not all be top notch. They have breakfast sandwiches, bowls and scrambles, as well as regular sandwiches, salads and burritos. We enjoyed the regular breakfast sandwich with spinach and cheese (subbed the meat but wish the spinach had been cooked in - $7) and the breakfast scramble which included 2 eggs, 3 veggies, cheese, protein all mixed/cut up together, as well as hash brown (didn't exactly look homemade?) and toast ($11). Everything was served in to-go containers so the looks weren't the best but makes sense given the place and that most people probably don't dine in. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. Everything takes time to come out so you know it's done to order. They also have some coffee and tea. They had a few coffee cake items in a glass display but didn't look homemade either. It feels like a cafe should have more selection of pastries but again bother me. Service was friendly and patient. The actual location isn't that great visually either. There is one longer table and a few smaller ones, but it's not a big place and not decorated to impress (fine by me!) It is located in a small nondescript plaza with an Indian market. Small parking lot. Wish this small business well! read more

Toasted OAT Cafe in Canton has been here a long time. I'm not sure why I haven't stopped here before. My brunch buddy and I had to make a last minute change of plans, so we landed at Toasted OAT today for breakfast. There are a few tables in a roped off section of the parking lot to eat outside. Inside, there's a long table in the middle, 3 smaller tables on the left, and a bar at the window. We had no problem getting a seat, but it seems like it's more of a take-and-go place than a destination to eat. There are a lot of customizations you can make to your food order, which is more easily done in their online ordering system--but there's a $1.95 service fee to use it. My friend and I made our decisions based off of that system but ordered at the counter. While there are a lot of breakfast and lunch options, there aren't many beverages. Coffee, hot chocolate, and tea are the mainstays for warm beverages, and all cold beverages other than cold brew coffee are prepackaged bottles in a cooler and run just short of $4. Every order, whether it's take-out or eat-in, is served in disposable packaging with disposable utensils. I ordered the Reuben bowl without eggs and a side waffle with syrup. Kind of love that I could get a side waffle. It took a while for the food to come out. It felt longer than it should have been for how few people were there, but I didn't time it. My waffle was cold. The tator tots in the Reuben bowl, however, were cooked perfectly, as were my friend's hash browns. Everything tasted great. If you're looking for the picturesque weekend brunch experience, this isn't it. But if you want a quick bite that's well made with quality ingredients and no-fuss beverages, you'll be very happy here. Even more so if you want to take it on the go. read more

We just picked up our breakfast here, and from the first bite to the last, it was incredible. The whole hog burrito with the added hot sauce and avocado was literally the best breakfast burrito I've ever eaten. I also appreciated how neatly wrapped it was for clean easy eating on the go! The Portuguese roll was also fantastic. It was pillowy soft, and was absolutely worth the .75 cent extra charge. The flavors were all awesome!! If we're back in this area again it will be a must stop! read more

A small, clean well arranged dining area. We ordered the bomb breakfast sandwich, it was by far the best breakfast sandwich we both have ever had. Onions were beautifully caramelized, mushrooms were browned to perfection and the kicker... I've never had a sandwich delivered piping hot on the softest bun ever. The guys behind the counter were polite and helpful. We will definitely be going back. Do yourself a flavor and go try them out. read more

I won a gift card for Toasted oat about 2 years ago . Today I finally went to the location and it was closed called up and confirmed it was still open in canton ct. They could not read the gift card but the gentleman there honored the gift card and took the order anyways. The food was great and cooked fast the restaurant is cozy and well decorated I will be going again when I can customer service was great 5 starts all around should of gone sooner then I did read more

My family decided to stop by for breakfast one day. It's a cute little coffee shop that serves breakfast food. The parking lot had plenty of spaces; the inside had a handful of tables to choose from. They also have baby seats. We ordered at the counter and the employee brought out the drinks and food to us. There is a table that has sugar/cream/milk for your coffee and a jug of water and cups. I noticed quite a few people ordered ahead and came to pick up their order. The food and coffee were delicious. I ordered the Whole Hog Burrito which came with two eggs, bacon, ham, cheddar, pepper, grilled onion, hash brown & chipotle mayo on a white wrap ($13.10); I also ordered a side of super crispy tater tots. We had a great experience and will be back! read more

Best sandwiches around, my daughter and I stop here when ever we're out and about during lunch time. read more

Stopped here for breakfast, and the food was fresh and tasty. I've never seen their trick of rolling cold cuts into a ball and searing them - surprisingly flavorful! Portion for the price was fair. Worth trying! read more

A year after my first review, does this place still hold up? Thankfully the answer is a definitive yes. If anything, it's gotten better as the owner has gotten his systems and workflows down pat. What sets this place apart is the choices and fresh ingredients. The breakfast sandwiches have great bread. But the bowls and scrambles are awesome. I got one that had avocado, spinach, tomatoes and scrambled eggs. All were delish. The coffee is also a standout and a big step up from the usual New England Dunkin variety. Plus, service is so friendly and efficient. Make this place on your routine. It's awesome. read more

Found this place on yelp passing thru. At 11 o'clock on a Thursday there was no one else there. Service quick and friendly and food was delicious. I had a breakfast bowl which comes with three veggies and one meat of my choice. Served over tater tots. Husband had egg sandwich which he enjoyed as well. Was a bit pricy but what isn't these days. Coffee served hot and fresh in generous sized cups. Had a hipster vibe ( but not in an obnoxious way). All and all a very positive experience read more

Stumbled on this place after going to the Indian grocery store next door for some tamarind paste for my pad Thai recipes . We went in shortly before their closing time . We were greeted by a friendly enough staff who took our orders for the the Bronx Bomber and the Toasted Cheese sandwich. Both were generous in size and had a an appropriate bread to filling ratio . (I really don't like sandwiches that have to much bread or too little filling) . The pastrami was pretty close to the best I have had in the Hartford area. It was nearly as good as Rein's Deli in Vernon. Yes that good . Thin sliced and nice little bit of griddle char. My wife could not finish have her toasted cheese but the other half was just as good the next day. I will be back . Both sandwiches were delicious , served relatively promptly and hot! read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast, and the food was great. The counter order caught me off guard, but no complaints there. I think the staff was friendly and efficient and the food was ready fairly quickly. The only reason not 5 star was my wife said the woman's room was dirty. I would make it a regular stop if I lived closer. read more

I am a huge fan of Toasted Oat, I learned about them during the pandemic and this was such a great treat. I have had their sandwiches and salads and they are absolutely incredible. The food is fresh, and the service is decent. I had one negative interaction with a young man working there but I don't want that to taint my entire experience. Their breakfast sandwiches are also incredible- especially on the Portuguese roll. I recommend here for any meal! read more

So good! Def a new go to lunch spot. I haven't tried the breakfast items but the tots hot sauce caesar wrap was so good! A little too much cheese and not enough lettuce but still amazing. read more

Came here after hearing buzz about it in town. It did not disappoint. Food is cooked to order and was fresh and delicious! I got the grain bowl and although on the slightly salty side, because of the ham, it still had a lot of great flavors to please the palate. Not much in the way of a beverage selection, just the basics, buuuut if you bring your our travel mug you can fill up on coffee for $2, ANY size....SCORE! The place itself is a bit small, but there is a large table in the middle the room for a larger group and several smaller tables around the exterior. Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. I'll definitely be back. read more

Located in the space formerly occupied by the defunct Bamboo Grill Vietnamese Restaurant is the Toasted OAT Café. It's a fairly new breakfast-brunch-lunch spot open from 6 to 3 on Tuesday to Friday and 7 to 2 on the weekend. You order at the front counter and they call your name when your food is ready, coffee is self- service, and it can seat maybe 25 customers. We walked in around 11:30 on a Sunday and saw that most of the seats were occupied -we ended up taking two end seats at a table for six. The breakfast choices include sandwiches, burritos, bowls, and scrambles. The sandwiches and burritos range from $8 -$10 and the bowls and scrambles are either $10 of $11. I should mention that these prices for the sandwiches, bowls and scrambles are for named choices on the menu with a pre-selected amount of fillings or ingredients. You can "Build Your Own" with less ingredients for a lesser price. Lunch choices follow a similar flowchart- you can get one of the named sandwiches at $9-$11, a named salad at $9-$13, or a Build Your Own sandwich or salad. We went for two breakfast selections today -a sandwich and a bowl. The $8 West Coast Sandwich included bacon, two eggs, cheddar, avocado, tomato and a hash brown on toasted wheat bread.- It was a pretty big and filling sandwich. The $10 Grain Bowl had sliced ham, turkey, two eggs, cheddar, barley, kale, tater tots (the advertised sweet potato tots were sold out), roasted red peppers, onions, mushrooms, and shredded carrots. The Grain Bowl was fantastic! Great flavors, big portion, excellent value. The coffees were $2 a pop. Improvement opportunities exist and they sit squarely on the shoulders of the young lady up front who was unsmiling, unfriendly and pretty much unresponsive to human interaction. She took our orders robotically with no hint of personality, said nothing to greet us, nothing to thank us for our order, and nothing to acknowledge that we'd tossed a bill into the tip jar. As mentioned, the coffee is a self-serve deal with three carafes -decaf, regular and bold. The regular carafe was missing and when we inquired about it, we learned it was being refilled. When she walked over to the coffee station to reset the missing carafe, she didn't even check the creamer pitchers at all -we had to tell her the half and half pitcher was empty. Bottom line is that the meal was pretty good at a pretty good breakfast price. But the customer service sure could have been better. And that's the difference between 3 and 4 stars. read more

I finally got around to trying Toasted Oat for breakfast and I'm sold. Mom and I opted from the healthier start scramble (added meat) and it was not only healthy but delicious. The scramble along with the toast and hash brown were filling and just what I needed to start my day. There are so many other items on the menu that I can't wait to try. I definitely plan on returning soon! read more

Casual counter-service cafe that has a wide variety of delicious breakfast and lunch options. They have a lot of hearty breakfast/lunch options, a few pastries, and regular coffee (no-espresso options). There are communal tables inside, and a couple tables out front as well. I came for breakfast and got a "create-your-own" breakfast sandwich and a coffee. The coffee was average, but the breakfast sandwich was fantastic. The people here were very friendly 8/10 read more

Overall the food was decent tasting and their menu had pretty good breakfast options, however, I was NOT happy with the wait time. I came in to order a breakfast bowl to-go on a not-so-busy morning and assumed I would be in and out of there pretty quickly. Unfortunately, I ended up waiting close to 25-30 minutes for my order to come out. I would suggest you try this place, but please call your order in and make sure it'll be ready by the time you come in. read more

If you like tater tots in your breakfast food you will love their bowls!! Will be back soon!

I love a place where I can grab a breakfast sandwich for lunch, and this place is my new fav. I'm a huge fan of the West Coast sandwich - 2 eggs, avocado, tomato, cheese, a hash brown patty (absolute brilliance), on a really hearty wheat bread and grilled perfectly. It also comes with bacon - I just kid myself by thinking I'm getting it on the lighter side by holding the bacon - lol. My husband loves the Breakfast Bomb (eggs, steak, mushroom, bbq sauce). Love that I can call ahead, roll in, have a super nice person hand me my lunch, and arrive home with a still warm & not soggy sandwich 15 minutes later. Coffee is super too. There's a little outdoor area if you want to eat outside - I haven't been inside so I can't comment on that. Highly recommended! read more

Good food, horrific management. Writing this so they can improve what's going on. Toasted Oat should definitely be a 5 star place ... but are just falling flat on their faces in the service end. 5 star food, 1 star service. If you stop here for breakfast in-person, expect to wait an hour for food. Such a shame, because the food is so good. I originally didn't want to review, because the food is so good. But, today, when I wanted to go back - I changed my mind on writing my review. I'm disappointed because I don't want to experience the utter disrespectful treatment that 7 different customers experienced the last time I was there 2 weeks ago. There was also a family of 4 who walked out!!! Was it a huge line? No, not really. My wife and I - plus the other 7 poor souls who decided eating at a restaurant on a Saturday Morning is a good thing need to sit around waiting for all of the doordash and ubereats orders to go out before we get served. Really a shame, because I kind of like freshly made food instead of something that has been getting cold in the footwell of some stranger's car. This comes off as odd to me, because so many other places actually do a ton of takeout and serve the dine-in people in a timely manner. Anyways, order online. Don't bother going here. Don't expect a nice fresh warm sandwich from a great place, expect nice lukewarm food in a greasy bag sitting on your doorstep. 30 seconds in the microwave and it should be 75% as good as it would have been fresh out of the kitchen. On the plus side, I think they gave me a free muffin or something as an ... apology? That would have been REALLY thoughtful if I weren't allergic ... and I had told them that, but, can't blame them for me saying that an hour prior. read more

My hubby and I tried this place after driving by it so many times over the years. It's a hidden gem in canton plaza (close by Farmington Shoppes plaza) where not much else is there but this terrific breakfast/lunch place. Had breakfast sandwiches which hit just right and we'll definitely be back to try lunch here as they seemed to have lots of options. While we were only a few of their patrons inside eating, they had constant traffic of folks picking up food to go. A must try place!! read more

Such a great place!! Menu is expansive and has sooo many options to choose from! A ton of indoor seating and a little patio to sit outside as well! Iced coffee was amazing!! It actually tasted like coffee and you could tell was brewed properly!! I got the Whole Hog Burrito and it was life changing!! The chipotle mayo in it takes it to a whole new level! I will definitely be back all the time to try basically everything on their menu!! read more

Hands down deff one of my favorite breakfast places yet! My ideal breakfast is everything together in a bowl and not many places do this so I was super excited coming here. You have your hash brown, eggs, cheese, veggies, sausage and or bacon all mixed in one= deliciousness!! They have other options as well sandwiches/wraps ect but nothing beats the bowls here! Small/cozy ambience with outdoor seating makes for a perfect sunday eat out brunch day! read more

Looking for a delicious breakfast and iced coffee within 15 minutes, delivered to your vehicle, parked curbside? Toasted OAT Cafe is the place to go! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but their breakfast bowls are out of this world. I had the Grain Bowl and was instantly transported to pre-covid times when I could order a fancy breakfast that included all of the ingredients that I never have readily available at home. Also, the iced coffee. I mean, it's strong, flavorful, and you can get it served up without any add-ins, so you can throw in your own creamer or sugar from home. Highly recommend this place, definitely try it if you've never been! read more

Delicious breakfast bowl! Pleasant atmosphere, (however they really could do more to liven up the cozy spot) BUT the food paired with the customer service keeps it at a solid 5-star rating! read more

Two words: garlic mayo. It's a sandwich game changer! We stopped in here for lunch and were pleased to see that the breakfast menu was offered all day. I had the Strami n' Eggs sandwich which was a nice combo of eggs, Swiss cheese, red onion, lean pastrami, and that fabulous garlic mayo. My partner had the basic club sandwich which was kicked up a notch by, you guessed it, GARLIC MAYO! The space itself is tiny, with two four seater tables and a long communal table down the center, which has ten seats. Honestly, while the communal table looks nice, it's a great rough hewn board table, the restaurant space has room to fit a bunch of two seater tables, which is preferable to the awkward overhearing of conversations you get at communal table thing. Maybe they will consider adding some other options in the future. You order at the counter, and they call your name to pick up the food. The food is fresh, maybe a bit expensive, it would be nice if they tossed in chips or a pickle on the side. Overall, a great little place. I will be back; their salads and other sandwiches sound delicious! read more

I came here on a Saturday morning after taking a hike nearby. I ordered online and was then able to call in to have my breakfast walked out to the car! They had a good selection of meat and cheese options for breakfast sandwiches that you don't normally see (turkey, Gorgonzola and feta) as well as good breads like a Portuguese roll. Overall it was tasty and a decent price, I'd recommend a visit in! read more

I love this spot for breakfast. Our office orders take out from here right when it opens at 7am. They have everything ready in 10-15 minutes! Always so nice on the phone and service is great. The West Coast breakfast sandwich is amazing and my favorite. A hash brown on a sandwich is genius! Build your own bowls are a big hit. I can't wait to try it in person one day! read more

Literally the breakfast place you need to go to that you don't know about yet. Whole Hog Burrito is where it's at, and is totally loaded with so much goodness (get extra chipotle aioli on the side) you won't be sad. Next time I'm definitely going to get a bowl because they simply looked awesome. The combos all sound good I don't think I'd ever need to make a custom order! read more

Delicious food, good coffee, and friendly service. The breakfast burrito was huge and very good.

Hour wait for a mediocre breakfast totally not acceptable. Need to get their act together.

Great new spot for a healthy and quick gluten free meal. Plenty of gluten free options to choose from. I have tried the gluten free turkey sandwich on a gluten free English muffin and a breakfast bowl on two separate occasions. Nice to see a new breakfast spot in the area that is healthy AND gluten free. read more

Breakfast Burrito I believe it's called the hog is very delicious! I get it at least once a month and am never disappointed. The place offers a good variety of different breakfast/lunch options at a very reasonable price. All staff I've encountered have been very pleasant. Would recommend! read more

I will give this place 2 stars because the breakfast burrito was ok. The staff is not very friendly and although it was not busy when we walked in we felt like we were really putting her out by having her take our order at the counter. It's self service, you order at the counter and get your own coffee . For the prices charged for the food here you should not have to eat on paper plates and plastic utensils. I was charged 9.00 for 2 pieces of thin bacon and two hard scrambled dry and tasteless eggs ( I had asked for soft scrambled) . No toast, no home fries....$ 9.00 on a paper plate with a plastic fork. I asked for salsa , they had non in the restaurant. Coffee was another 2.00 , self serve and small paper cups. We also had to ask for the cream to be refilled which took 20 minutes although only 2 more customers came while we were waiting. The breakfast burrito was ok but they had no salsa or sour cream. Heck, even McDonalds has salsa for their breakfast burritos. I won't be back....High prices, small portions & paper plates & plastic utensils.....not what I'm looking for when I go out for a meal. read more

Just went here for breakfast and it was just okay. I had a West Coast breakfast sandwich and the flavors were decent, but nothing you couldn't make at home yourself. My sister got a Healthier Start Scrambles bowl which was supposed to have cheese added in it and they forgot the cheese. She said the bowl was not good. I might try this place again, but not sure yet. The one thing that bothered me the most is that they weren't very busy and they also weren't cleaning tables between customers. I had to sit at a dirty table which is a HUGE turn off for me. Nothing to rush back for, but not the worst place in the world. read more
