This is my first visit to the restaurant. Went for Sunday morning breakfast and place was busy on arrival @ 11am. Seating was quick as we accepted to sit outside instead of inside as initially planned. Menu is pretty large and has different items for Morning & Afternoon but were informed we could order anything - not sure if this applied for every day of the week. Rusty was the one who took our order. I ordered the Avocado omelette but wanted the toppings to be mixed into it (as opposed to being put on top of the omelette after it is made and folded) and Rusty suggested having it scrambled to accomplish my need. This came with hash browns and toast (cinnamon raisin was my choice from a variety of bread options). My wife ordered two eggs done any style (chose omelette option) and requested herbs be added as optional topping. This came with fruit cup and toast. My Avocado meal was excellent and was the best tasting breakfast I have had in a long time. My wifes meal was OK-to-Good with fruit cup being the best. Coffee was also good and served quite hot which allowed to stay warm for a longer period. Rusty was very pleasant and made us feel special as customers. When discussing what we wanted and how it was to be prepared, Rusty was very accommodating and kept saying anything for you. Good salesmanship is one thing but the proof is in the pudding and the food was prepared the way it was requested. You came through Rusty - well done and keep it up! One negative was the error in the billing as my wifes meal was charged as the higher priced Northwest omelette having the herb topping. This was adjusted at time of payment and was very well handled by management. 4 stars is a very high review coming from me and would certainly keep it in mind for a revisit.

I have been here several times and never had a bad experience until last time. I will preface this and say that the restaurant was not overly busy when we visited - several empty tables and staff didnt seem flustered. Anyway, our waitress took our drink orders when we first arrived and then we did not get another visit from her to take our order for FORTY minutes. We saw her walking around and interacting with other guests but nothing for us. Our table was not in an obscure location or anything - it was by the window with everyone else. Then she finally took our order and food came out in a decent amount of time but they gave us the wrong food. Myself and another person at my table each ordered omelets - they told us which was which and set in front of us. Halfway through my meal (and when my friend was completely finished with his (my) omelet) we realized that they told us the wrong thing and we had eaten each others meals (dont judge, we were so hungry by that point). Drinks were never refilled and another request was heard but ignored. Took 30 minutes to bring my friend the mimosa he ordered and then never brought our ticket back. We couldnt catch her attention and eventually walked up front and had to just tell them what we ordered. Food was good (even the omelet I didnt order) but the service was just horrendous! The waitress did not apologize or even realize she was doing anything wrong. I mentioned to the staff up front (who rung us up at register) that we had waited a while for our ticket but never got it and that we ended up with the wrong meals and they did not care one bit. The entire experience was two hours, barely any of that actually with food. Would not recommend.

Delicous but a little expensive, so be prepared. I went with two others for breakfast. We were instantly greeted and told there would be about a 10 minute wait, no big deal. Less than 10 minutes later our name is called and were seated. The waitress took no time at all helping us to decide on drinks and bringing them to us. The waiters and waitresses here help each other out, so dont be surprised if someone who isnt your waiter comes by to take your order. A gentleman swung by our table and took ours, he was extremely patient and made sure everything was correct before putting the order in. I was excited to find out that you can order lunch and breakfast all day, so I ordered lunch for breakfast. The food was amazing! I ordered the club, the sandwich was huge! A double decker filled with turkey, ham, bacon, mayo, and lettuce (got mine without tomato). Easily one of the best clubs Ive ever had. My friend got the combo and added an egg and another flapjack to it. She said hers was absolutely delicious. Boyfriend got a breakfast burrito. He said it was a little strong on avocado but fantastic as well. He loved it. This restaurant has a very welcoming, classy atmosphere. The wait staff are all curtious and friendly and extremely attentive. The food delicious. This place is definitely worth a try, but you better hurry, because theyre only open for breakfast and lunch.

Overall: Decent assembly line type food, subpar service with usually long waits for brunch Pros: Food is just OK but reasonably priced Cons: 1. Service.. service.. service. They rush you throughout the process once you have been seated. Do not check on you except to take your plates. They watch to see when you take your last bite and then will take your plate right away. I wanted to tell them.. I get that you are trying to get other people in but guess what.. I waited too!?!? Ultimately it felt like "speed eating." 2. They do not offer omelets. They are more like egg wraps. Veggies are sautéed separate from the eggs (like 1.5 versus the 3 they advertise) and then the egg is layed on the plate with veggies layed inside. Nothing actually connects the egg and veggies. I did hear through another review that you can ask for any omelet to be made Into a scramble which would be more appealing than the omelet they offer. French Toast was ok but tasted a little like it had been microwaved. Basically my summary is that the food was like assembly line food versus a restaurant with a cook.

I have enjoyed finding small breakfast places my entire life. Toast is the best all around breakfast place I have ever been to! I usually wait 10-15 minutes at 9:30 on a Saturday or Sunday. As soon as you see how its operated, no matter how long you wait, you know its due to the number of people that want their food and not the efficiency of their restaurant. I dont think Ive ever consistently gotten my food so quickly and exactly as ordered. The food here is on point! No discussion! Only once has someone in my party not enjoyed their food and left a large portion on the plate. They noticed, offered to provide another meal and immediately, without asking, adjusted our bill to remove the meal. Its not the cheapest place to go to breakfast, but I wouldnt consider going anywhere else in the area for breakfast. TLDR; the food is amazing, the service and system are perfect, you get what you pay for and this place is worth every penny.

This place is amazing! The servers work as a team so theres always someone taking care of you. To reiterate what another review said - the servers are absolutely ecstatic about you ordering breakfast. We came today after burying my grandfather yesterday, and it was such a joy to watch my mothers face light up as the server complimented her assemble and color choices. We were hungover, cranky, and running on emotional empty. Ive never had a breakfast experience fill me up in so many ways. The food - oh the food. The biggest breakfast sandwich ever. Eggs PERFECTLY cooked, which is hard to find when you order over medium. Crispy bacon. Amazingly seasoned potatoes. And it was all on our table in about 5-10 minutes. Couldnt be happier and now cursing myself because I live three hours away. ....Ill be back!
