The smell of bacon was too good to keep moving past it and we decided to head inside. Best happy accident!! Any place that has staff wearing shirts that say "Stoked for yolks" and has an array of pig decor- jackpot! The small menu was deliciously stacked with breakfast and lunch options; the griddle was sizzling, there's a drink fridge, and a spot to stand and consume. My husband got a turkey and I did a ruby melt; SO GOOD! I perused the menu, and the breakfast options all looked incredible! If you find yourself on this end of Tremont and you smell amazing bacon, follow your nose to Mike and Patty's - you will not be disappointed! Also, staff was super friendly! This place is a total package!

There's a small park with shaded benches about 2 blocks away (Elliot Norton Park) which is a great place to sit down and devour the food. I ordered the Mission Breakfast Burrito and it was delicious. As of August 2026, the website lists the burrito as $14, but the price on the in-person menu was $16. I would give the burrito 4 out of 5 stars because of the way it was wrapped - about a third of the burrito was just egg and cheese and the toppings (avocado, red onion, hash browns, salsa verde, crema) were crammed on the other side of the burrito. If there was a way for the burrito to be wrapped so all the ingredients were more evenly distributed - this would easily be a 5/5 breakfast burrito. One random detail that stuck out to me was that their drinks in their refrigerator were very cold - no lukewarm sodas here! I would come back here to try their signature "Fancy" sandwich. Overall, this is a very solid breakfast spot in Boston!

The service was incredibly efficient, the food was amazing, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.

They have traditional versions and also a lot of fun styles with seasonal flavors, wild combos. They also have more than just breakfast with plenty of lunch or dinner options with burgers, sandwiches, salad and bowls. There is something for everyone here whether you have food allergies, are a picky eater, or down for an adventure to try something new. Everything is pretty customizable so you really can't go wrong. For those with food allergies, they have plenty of vegan and gluten free options. Some of my favorite staples are the avocado toast, the vegan scramble, the vegan breakfast burrito, or the vegan pancakes (they are gluten free too)! I like to try to make a reservation online in advance because it gets busy. You have to make the reservation on the day of so the availability can be limited depending on what might be going on but it is still worthwhile. You can also join the waitlist online if you can't make a reservation in advance which might help save a little time too. If you don't want to dine in, you can always order online for pick-up or delivery from their website as well. Staff has always been kind and helpful, especially when it comes to recommendations for what to try if you want to branch out or just get inspired. The Friendly Toast is a unique place to go. If you are inside, it feels like a diner and is pretty laidback. They have their own sense of style which adds to their character and charm. When the weather is nice, I like the outdoor seating they have.

I didn't try the coffee myself, but my partner really enjoyed hers, which isn't surprising given Thinking Cup's reputation as one of Boston's standout coffee shops.

When we walked up around 7:30 pm, the outdoor seating on this beautiful day was already full. Good sign to start! Since it was a bit windy, we asked for an indoor table and were brought in immediately, no wait. To quench my thirst, I opted for a Storrow Jam libation- a blueberry, vodka, sparkling water, lemon flavored drink. Absolutely refreshing and well presented! My pal ordered their spin on a Cuban and swapped out the chips for the dill pasta side. He loved it so much that it was gone on minutes. Being a fan of ground meats, I opted for the Hajj, a ground lamb, tzatziki, Mediterranean style sandwich. It was well flavored and large, and came with a side salad. I shared the sandwich with my friend, but agreed that his crispy Cuban was a bit tastier. We ended the evening with a bread pudding topped with vanilla ice cream to share. Massive portions! We both enjoyed to our hearts' delight, and the one dessert could have easily been shared with a third person. Our wait staff was so pleasant- friendly and warm from the start. They really made this experience shine! This is quite a pricy spot in the heart of Boston, so be prepared to pay a pretty penny for sandwiches. However, the elegance of the food is up there and it's a unique experience to pick a meal from a handful of the top chefs.
