Toast Cafe & Grill

Tried this place this past weekend. It was okay. I feel like the food could had been better. As well as their drinks. The Michelada I had was a little plain. I probably wouldn't be back. Service though was good. Wait wasn't as bad either. I feel people visit more because of the atmosphere.

A very good brunch place near Willow Glen . Note that they don't honor the OpenTable reservations . We had reserved on open table but had to get to the waiting list when we got there . Luckily for us the wait was not long .
Here is what we tried
1. Crab Benedict - it was delicious. They had crab meat on top of a baguette topped with perfectly poached eggs and hollandaise sauce . It was very light too
2. French toast - not overly sweet, or heavy.
3. Bloody Mary - perfectly balanced Bloody Mary with bacon
4. Strawberry mimosa - we were a little disappointed seeing the drink. It looked like they spilled half of it, it was tasty though

Overall , it was a very good experience . The place has a nice ambiance too . Highly recommended

Disclaimer: this review is just for seating service and not food. I understand that as a smaller place sometimes there is a wait and it's more difficult to seat larger parties but the wait I had was a bit ridiculous.

I arrived before 10:30 and we were given a wait time of 10 minutes after we put ourselves on the wait list. We were second (5 people) after a party of 10 at that point. We kept hearing parties of 2 getting seated and when we checked back on the wait list around 11 we saw that about 5 different parties were put ahead of ours on the wait-list. When we asked, we were told that parties of 2 get priority seating because they are trying to fill up the restaurant so they would let us know when a table for 5 was available. After another wait, the party of 10 was seated and there was suddenly another party of 5 ahead of us as well. When we asked they said that they did not know about the other party of 5 as we watched them get seated. After watching a whole bunch of other parties get seated we decided to leave.

Edit: I spoke with some friends and they said the same thing happened to them. They were told that they were seating all of the 2-people parties first before any other party size so they also left.

Came here with some friends on a Saturday morning for brunch. We had a reservation via OpenTable but as we got there, there was a sign that said OpenTable reservations will not be honored. The hostess was nice enough and said she'll give us priority in line, but the wait was still around 15-20 min, which was honestly not as bad as we thought it would be considering there were other people waiting.

They have a lot on the menu, so it was hard to pick! They have American brunch and lunch items and Mexican style breakfast options. I ended up getting the French Skillet and was able to switch out the country potatoes for some hash browns. The food wasn't oily or too salty, and was cooked well.

There were TVs playing the Olympics in the restaurant where each screen was showing a different sport. Noise level was comparable to other busy restaurants, but I was able to converse with and hear my friends without problem. Parking is easy as the restaurant is located in a plaza, but the lot was quite full since there are many other stores including a Safeway. Would definitely come back here for brunch with friends or family.

Came back because it was such a hit last time. It was okkkay. My daughter loved her chile verde with eggs. Her friend thought her turkey club was okay. I split carnitas scrambled with my man. There was no meat this time. Totally disappointed in my meal. Really cool they brought my daughter a waffle 4 her birthday. Next time I will order something else.

Sat in their outdoor patio area for brunch and it was so cute and cozy! Ordered and got our food very quickly. I love anything Nutella, so their Nutella French toast was delicious. I got a taste of my boyfriend's chilaquiles and WOW I'm definitely getting them next time! They are the perfect amount of spice, and very generous with the amount of meat they give you. Drinks are strong and yummy (: it gets pretty busy on the weekends so make sure to join their Yelp waitlist through the app to save some time!

This is a very popular place given the long line that I saw on a Saturday morning. Luckily I was able to get into their virtual line to minimize the wait time. Once seated, we were greeted and shown to our seat and ordered our beverages. Our server, Jasmine was great. She was timely and provided input as the menu is quite large. I had the French Skillet and it was great. The food came quickly which is surprising given how busy they were. I've gotta come back because there are so many other things to try.

Pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon. 20 min wait isn't bad at all! We got the chilaquiles and chorizo skillet. Coffee and fresh OJ for drinks. Got the orders taken almost right away.
Chilaquiles with the tri tip was ok. Nothing special.
Chorizo skillet had a hairy potato and also lots of the larger potatoes were raw/ uncooked. Quick in and out. Won't be part of our regular brunch rotation.

Make sure to join the waitlist ahead of time on the weekends. We ended up waiting an hour on Sunday for brunch. I got the California Benedict that I really enjoyed, I thought it was different that they used baguette instead of english muffins but it was better bc the base is crispier. The restaurant itself is super cute inside, parking could be busy but manageable. Next time I'm looking forward to trying the drinks as well

I ordered through DoorDash for pickup at the restaurant. The staff was super kind, and the place had a decent amount of seating both inside and outside. The food was good--we had typical breakfast items, and everything met our expectations. No complaints. Definitely will have to check them out for lunch of dinner next.
