We stopped by Toast Kitchen + Bakery during our spring break trip to California on Friday, April 18th — and wow, what a treat. The food was delicious (my sister’s ube latte was smooth, gentle, and floral — I definitely stole a sip), but it was the service that truly made the experience memorable. It’s always great when the food is good, but when the service is just as thoughtful? That’s what makes a place unforgettable. We felt genuinely cared for the entire time — different team members checked in seamlessly, like they were all in sync, and we never once felt overlooked. To top it off, a lovely staff member brought out a tray of their house-made pies, and even though we were too full, she still offered us a taste of their chocolate cake. That kind of hospitality is rare. Toast isn’t just good — it’s gracious. And we’ll absolutely be back.

VERDICT: An excellent choice for lunch. FOOD: The Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich holds immense complexity and hits all the notes in perfect pitch. The crisp of the chicken comes unencumbered by residual oil, and the crunch is pleasant but not overwhelming. The crispy tots are delicious and play a good second chair to the sandwich. DRINK: Beer on tap for $5 is a victory all its own. Great choices. I drank the hazy and the lager. SERVICE: The server was good, handling the misfire of a drink made incorrectly by remaking it herself (to an excellent product). They also forgot to make one of the sandwiches, which they made and comped and gave us a pie. While this visit was less-than-ideal in these respects, the staff were not defensive or rude but rather apologized and made it right. I can give grace to struggles regarding their software (the source of the woes) as the food was just killer.

What a great place to eat!!! First shout out to our server Jessica, very sweet and knowledgeable. We took her recommendations with zero regrets! Their margaritas are delicious!! Very smooth and flavorful. One of the better margaritas I've had. The chilaquiles are fire. Jessica suggested the green sauce, and she nailed it. The breakfast burrito was killer as well. I got it "wet" and it hit every spot. Definitely will be coming back!!

Parking is a bit tough but we got lucky and got a spot nearby. Also Google Maps took me to the back of the restaurant. Checked in and the employee said the wait was 30 minutes and it was actually 37 minutes so it was solid estimating. We ordered the Ube French Toast, Ginger Peach soda and Sisig Burrito. I really liked the Sisig burrito, had great crunch with the chicharron but nice soft pork belly. Ube French Toast had the right amount of sweetness and the Ginger Peach was nice.

Great brunch, wonderful location and staff. The coffee is EXCELLENT. My cappuccinos competes with ones from Italy or France. I asked what coffee they use; the chef roasts her own. Of course she does. I came back the next day for another. By the way, dog friendly and kind too.
