Toast Bakery Cafe

Great spot. Believe they have new owners and there has been a few changes made to the menu. But with out asking they told us if you want something and don't see it ask and they would advise if they could make it.

Great service.
Many options to pick from.
Parking can be a challenge at times.
Must try spot if in the area.

New menu new owners, sadly it is not as good as it used to be.

Everyone was nice. It's the food that was not up to par.

Oh bummer, I honestly wish I had read the reviews--at least the updated ones--before coming here last week. Toast Bakery Cafe used to be one of my favorite places to get brunch. I brought my boyfriend here, and I was so shocked to see that the menu had completely changed, the prices went up, and the food quality went down. My favorite banana french toast, which used to be gloriously made with banana cream and pecans, walnuts, or something like that, was gone. It's been many years, so please forgive me for not recalling the exact item off the top of my head.

The staff was nice, but I just feel very sad and let down that this place has become what it is now. I think it's kind of deceiving to keep the same name but be under different management. That said, it's my fault for not checking Yelp beforehand. At least I've learned my lesson not to assume that those OG places I love will always stay the same.

It's still a decent place to go if you're hungry, and the food isn't awful, but it's nothing remarkable. I honestly could've just made my own food at home. If you're visiting, everything else is closed, and you're craving something to eat, then sure, go here--but there are more affordable options nearby. Just my take. Of course, parking on that street is always hard.

As someone who used to come from the Palisades for brunch here, I'm sad to write that the quality has gone down so horribly. I didn't think to check the reviews beforehand but wished I did. It's not the same restaurant or vibe that it used to be.

Really good lowkey spot off Beverly with a lot of cafe menu items. 10/10 casual breakfast spot. The service was also fantastic, everyone was so welcoming and nice. Would recommend for a weekend brunch or lunch

My husband and I went to toast for a little lunch date. We were drawn in by their outdoor seating but unfortunately it was all full so we ended up eating inside. Once inside, we were seated immediately but never brought menus until we asked. Then suddenly different servers kept coming up to our table asking if we were ready to order despite just getting our menus. It's felt a little unorganized.

Once we ordered, the food came in about 15 minutes. It was tasty but overall we felt that the prices on the menu didn't justify it. There are plenty of brunch spots just like this in LA that are a better deal and with food just as good. The prices on their menu are also listed as paying in cash and they charge another 3% for using a credit card. Will pass next time

I have been wanting to try Toast for some time. I noticed that the place looks very different than what I remembered it, apparently, due to the pandemic and change in ownership. It now gives Corner Bakery vibes.

The place was fairly empty for my late lunch. It was moderately clean, but the menu and table felt sticky. I had the chicken pesto sandwich with fries. Even though it had a good amount of chicken and the ciabatta bread was fresh, it lacked that strong pesto flavor. The fries were bland and had no seasoning. For $18, this sandwich was overpriced and nothing special.

Service was average. I had to look for someone to seat me and to get the bill. Food came out in about 10 minutes. They do have a nicer outdoor seating area, which I would recommend over their indoor space if you choose to dine here.

Ordered 3 eggs scrambled soft. Comes with potatoes and bacon (or ham) . Added a latte. Liked almost everything. Bacon was a bit meh. Thin. Had the proper bacon flavor crispy , was fine I spose. I thought the eggs were perfect. The potatoes too. Service was attentive, but there were only a few people here. Latte was not great. Too much milk, not enough coffee. Maybe a cap is the right way to go. Toast was a bit funny, not very "toasty". Warmed bread LIGHTLY toasted". Sourdough is tricky. All a bit hilarious, given the name on the place . Jam was very good. I liked the music. Jazzy classics. Overall enjoyed my meal and will be back.

The food was good not great but the service and ambiance were very nice. We had a French dip sandwich, a chicken crepe, French onion soup, and sweet potatoes.

This is the rare time I'll go 3 but neither the service nor food were remarkable, the ambiance outside however is worth the food. The food itself was not worth the high price but wasn't bad either, thus a 3.

If need an outdoor space with better than decent food than this could serve.

I think management has changed. My chilaquiles were stellar but the cleanliness of the space left a lot to be desired. It was like no-one had vacuumed, dusted, or performed a general cleaning in a while. My potatoes were also solid as a rock and unseasoned and my orange juice tasted like it was from concentrate. This place was once so vibrant. If I go back, I would eat outside, order the chilaquiles, and beg to substitute the potatoes.
