Famous Toastery - Davidson, NC Let me just start this the only way possible... "Best breakfast everrrrrrrr." (Read that in Chris Tucker's voice from Friday ) Listen. I don't throw those words around lightly. I'm a breakfast professional. I've traveled. I've eaten. I've sacrificed stretchy waistbands for less. First of all Kayla J. Service? VIP. Celebrity status. I felt like I walked in with a security detail. The way she checked on us? I thought she was about to hand me a Grammy. Attentive, friendly, and faster than my metabolism trying to survive those portions. Now let's talk FOOD. The corned beef hash with potatoes and eggs? My goodness. The eggs were perfectly cooked -- that yolk broke open like it had something to prove. The corned beef? Crispy, juicy, seasoned like somebody's grandma was back there supervising the kitchen. The potatoes? Golden. Crunchy. Faith restored. And these portions?? They don't believe in small plates here. They believe in "Cancel your lunch plans" plates. I wasn't eating breakfast... I was entering a commitment. You know it's serious when you're halfway through and start negotiating with yourself: "Alright... one more bite... for America." And don't even get me started on the pancakes. Fluffy like they were trained in altitude. Powdered sugar falling like breakfast confetti. Absolute madness. Famous Toastery in Davidson isn't just breakfast it's a spiritual experience with syrup. 10/10. Would return. Would loosen belt again. If you're anywhere near Davidson and not eating here... you're playing yourself. read more

Came to North Carolina to visit my mom and we wanted to spend our Saturday morning browsing the shops on Main street. Came to the Famous Toastery as a party of 4 at around 11am. It was super busy and there was a 20 minute wait. That must mean it's good! When our table was ready we got both a text and phone call which was nice. We were seated and greeted prompty, ordered our food, and then it went downhill from there. First and foremost, it was LOUD in there. Im sure it had very much to do with the time of day, but everyone is screaming over one another just to carry out a conversation. They give you cornbread with apple butter while you wait. It was okay. Everything was kind of cold, and the cornbread was bland, but the apple butter was great. Then our food came out. We ordered the classic benedict with potatoes, the biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon, the 'blah blah blah' omelet w/ sausage, mushrooms and cheese, and then the blueberry and cream cheese stuffed French toast with a side of well done bacon. First, three dishes came out, but the French toast never did. No one came to check on us throughout our entire meal, so we had to stop someone to ask. The kitchen forgot to make it. So three of us ate while one person just sat there. Secondly, all the food was cold. Not even a little warm, barely room temperature, it was cold. Despite the temperature, the benedict was decent, the eggs were poached perfectly. The potatoes were nicely seasoned. The biscuits and gravy probably would've been better if it was nice and hot. The gravy had a film on it cause it looked like it was just sitting in the kitchen for so long. The omelete was good, had a nice amount of all the toppings inside of it, just again, not even warm. Finally, the stuffed French toast came, and I honestly wish I took a picture because it was a joke. Just looked like two pieces of white bread, cut diagonally, smeared with a light amount of cream cheese woth a few blueberries thrown in. Stuffed French toast? No, that was toast with blueberry cream cheese. Also, the bacon that was ordered was not at all well done. Because the kitchen forgot to make the meal, they ended up comping the stuffed French toast and bacon. (Even though the check they brought to us, didn't have it comped and we had to have them correct it. Had we not looked at the check, we would've never known.) And as I mentioned before, no one checked in on us during the duration of the meal, I needed a refill and never got one. One of the food runners dropped my silverware on the ground, said they'd bring me a new one, and it never came. If this were just some shoddy, run-of-the-mill, basic diner, this would have made way more sense to me. But the fact that it was busy, we had to wait, and is really pricey, is mind boggling to me. The whole meal, had we not had a dish comped, and woth three drinks would've been $80! The experience was so bad and so overwhelming I didn't even take photos. And I always take photos! Terrible experience overall, will absolutely never be back. I gave it two stars instead of one simply because the meal was edible. read more

Famous Toastery - Famous French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

Overall pretty average. The restaurant was cute and the vibe was nice but the food was mid. I shared the blueberry flavored pancakes with someone and had some of the avocado Benedict. The pancakes and bacon were good but the eggs Benedict and potatoes both needed salt- or at least more flavor. I tried my sisters caesar salad and mac and cheese- both not very good. The waiters were super sweet though and the food came out fast! read more

I was irritated the first time I left this review but cooler heads prevail. I was primarily irritated by the $6 Orange Juice (x2) and the service. I still think the OJ is absurd but I have been in here a few times since and the staff is very friendly and efficient. As far as the first visit goes, it was toward end of rush when the place was emptying out and people get tired. It's all good. The vibe here is also pretty cool. Famous Toastery isn't the best breakfast place I have ever eaten at but it's definitely above average and a solid choice (minus the OJ). read more

Had a weird hiccup with the online ordering so I had to call in my order. But the food was good and the place was cute and cozy from what I saw picking up. Got a breakfast bowl that was tasty and the side blueberry pancake I ordered was huge and awesome. Orange juice was delicious. read more

Famous Toastery is my favorite place for blueberry pancakes and fresh squeezed orange juice. A side of fresh fruit or grits has also one of my favorites. The staff is purposely pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend this quaint little restaurant in Davidson. I have also eaten at the locations in Huntersville, which is equally as good but larger that Davidson's restaurant is smaller and has a better ambience read more

Went with whole family and everything was great! Service and food is amazing. Large Nutella toast, classic waffle and avocado toast was all amazing. Highly recommend read more

The famous toastery is the perfect place to get breakfast. The food is great, with a variety of different foods from cinnamon rolls to pancakes to breakfast burritos. The place itself is great, the town of Davidson is beautiful with a wonderful brick downtown area, and the restaurant represents this, with a casual but pretty environment. It's also a very friendly place where essentially everyone there is very nice. The service is great, all the waiters and waitresses are very kind and make great conversation. It's very popular and fills up if you get there after 9 or 10, but overall just a great place to get breakfast. read more

Five stars for the managment, kitchen staff, and great food that saved my wedding! I was supposed to get married in Asheville on September 28th but Mother Nature had other plans. Due to what can only be described as a series of miracles, we were able to leave the home we were staying in and the western part of the state. Feeling lucky, grateful and very humbled by the devastation witnessed, we decided to continue with our plans to tie the knot. My Dad arrived at opening on Sunday September 29th and shared our story with Brent. Brent immediately jumped into action creating a menu of sandwiches and sides to feed our guests. The food was absolutely delicious. While I imagine it wasn't easy for the staff to pull this together on a weekend morning with such short notice, I am so appreciative of their kindness and generosity. Thank you, Famous Toastery Davidson Team. read more

Excellent service and food! A very pleasant way to start the morning. The avocado toast is outstanding!

The service was excellent! Our server came to check on us in just the right amount of times. Cute place! And the food was just perfect! We will definitely return during our stay here.

Good solid brunch chain in Charlotte. Everyone serves every table and they all share the tips. Food was very good. We had the stuffed French toast and breakfast quesadilla. Both had good flavor and were very good. When we told the waitress we were new to the area she notified the manager and he stopped by to welcome us to the area. read more

Before I sent this to yelp, I messaged the Toastery in Davidson NC to give them the chance to respond. I was not going to send a review but they ignored my message for the past 3 weeks. Today (December 5 2024) my wife and I had breakfast at the Toastery in Davidson NC at approx. 8:30am. We have had breakfast there many times before. Today had to be one of the worst break we ever had anywhere. We both had Eggs Benedict Classic. The eggs were barely cooked. We both had potatoes with our order. Everything on our plates were cold. Even the ham on the english muffin was cold and completely uncooked. The plate just looked awful and thrown together hap hazard. Just an all out terrible dining experience. Today December 29 2024 I had breakfast at the toaster in Mooresville NC (Main St. Location) and the service and food was excellent. Davidson Toastery needs to get some lessons from them. read more

The food was awesome! It was hard to decide what to order. I had the two egg with breakfast potatoes and bacon. My friend had the 3 flap jacks with sausage. Service was great and really great atmosphere. Great place for brunch. read more

The good: food is fast and flavorful. It was a bit salty for me, but overall well cooked and presented. The staff! You can ask anyone for help. That's a big plus when the place is busy. Nice bathrooms and the out back seating is lovely. We had breakfast, but you can also order lunch all day, too. The bad: the salt factor might be of concern for those with high blood pressure. Maybe ask for no added salt. The ugly: nothing. It's a real cafe with a great people who take pride in making a great breakfast or lunch. read more

First time ever eating at this restaurant. I've seen several locations over the past year but finally stopped to eat lunch ! Wow what a mistake waiting so long to eat here . It was delicious! I tried the build your own omelette. Added everything you could to it ... fully loaded ! My hubs had the stuffed French toast with strawberries. We shared both ! Both were fantastic! Service was spot on and very attentive wait staff made for a perfect meal. Apparently the Davidson location was one of the first . Our server had been there over 6 years. That tells me it's a great place to work as well as eat ! Two thumbs way up! read more

Nicolette was our server and she was awesome. What a lovely place right on main street. Great food selection, prices good, quality very tasty. Bathrooms very clean. Definitely will return when in town!! read more

This is such a gem right downtown across from Davidson Campus. Signage is very good and 2 hour parking is excellent right in front of the business. Staff accommodated our wish to set outside at one of two tables that allowed for a beautiful view of the town and people watching. Of course I think it's a bit safer too with COVID. The dining room is open and they were busy. You can use a QR code to order or they have paper menus. The breakfast/ brunch and lunch menu is available all day. It's large with a variety that can work for everyone. Our male waiter wore a mask and was very friendly to all our needs during the service. Other staff also assisted as it was explained they help each other out. Service was efficient with food hitting the table within 15 minutes after order. My avocado dish with eggs over easy and fried up potatoes was scrumptious! The coffee was great too! My daughters pancakes were huge with crisp bacon. The bacon was tasty and dressed out with seasoning of some type. The temperature was correct on all our dishes. The only hiccup to me was not bringing extra napkins without requesting. A pet peeve of mine. Once napkins were requested they were delivered immediately. Checkout can be by card to the server or online, look for info on the receipt. Of course cash is welcome. A female server took my card and returned in minutes. I would love to return the next time. read more

Without a doubt the #1 reason for the high enrollment at Davidson University is a hearty breakfast and a flight of cocktails at the Famous Toastery. As you enter their famous doors time slows down and your worries flow away like the receding tide. The smell of soft bread, fresh squeezed orange juice and pure maple syrup envelop you in welcome. Their meals delicious, their servers friendly and their location top notch. read more

3/31/2025 I ordered a BLT the bacon was over so over cooked and hard the bacon looked old not like it was freshly cooked on this day. So I ended up eating toast with lettuce and tomatoes. I left the waitress know when she came to take out dishes away and she apologized, which is not her fault. Upon receiving the check not even an acknowledgment from the cook not even a few dollars taken off the bill, I mean bacon is expensive and I couldn't even eat mine. The Toastery in Davidson is the same. I guess they don't care since they always have a line to go in. Don't think I will be going back. read more

Are recovering well from Covid. Breakfast & lunch place. Plenty of seating and good table service. Wife loves their left coast BLT, which includes avocado. I simply love their corned beef hash with eggs. They literally chop up some corned beef, grill it with some shreaded potatoes and there it is. Yummy-lishous topped with two eggs to order. I don't like or want the holandaise, but you might. Comes with toast. A GREAT breakfast. read more

This is easily the best breakfast on Main Street (or anywhere) in Davidson. The menu is so diverse and the ingredients are always flexible so you can customize anything... my go to's are a hot cuppa Joe in a ceramic red mug, The runner's omelette or the burrito, and if I'm feeling wild a single seasonal pancake. I really love the fresh salsa that comes with the burrito and I typically share the breakfast with my partner. Today, I actually tried the classic waffle for the very first time and it was a little bit dry but next time I would probably just order it on the lighter side because it was good! The portions are big and of course I can't go without recommending the most popular omelette which is called the avocado omelette - delicious. The atmosphere is country and laid-back... And the service is usually prompt. It's convenient that you can use a QR code and pay from your phone at the table. They get extremely busy on the weekends but during the week it's much easier to get a table during peak hours. Make sure to stroll down Main Street before or after breakfast and enjoy the charm that Davidson has to offer! During nice weather they have a large patio out back as well for extra outdoor seating that you don't initially see upon approaching the restaurant from the front. So don't despair if it looks like all the outdoor tables are taken... Walk down the long sidewalk on the left side of the building and you will see many more outdoor seating options available. read more

This place was very unclear about what we were purchasing. We purchased a cup of orange juice not knowing (or being told) that it was non-refillable. The juice was $6 per cup in a small cup. After we had already been given our ticket to pay we asked for a refilled orange juice... so, she rang us up for ANOTHER $6 orange juice without telling us it would be an up charge. We felt quite bamboozled and tricked. To end the conversation we asked for more water and double checked to see if it would be an up charge and she sassily quipped back. Food was delicious but clarity with customer service was not there. read more

Food tastes great and the service was good but the portions were really small and the prices were really high. I definitely don't mind paying for good food service and atmosphere but I'm not interested in the massive inflation and price gouging. Just average. Probably won't be back. read more

Greeted immediately and they even opened the door for me. Very nice little touch. Yes, I ordered coffee in the middle of this heat. Not sure why, but it tasted good. So...this is where it gets difficult.... I ordered the BLT. I asked for onions and cheese. I was disappointed because it was not delivered as ordered, they forgot the onions and cheese...BUT it was an amazingly good sandwich. Dare I say that it did not need the extra calories I tried to add. The bacon was cooked perfectly and had a wonderful smoked flavor. The tomato's and lettuce were fresh. Definitely would order this again...without my customizations. Nicholas, the waiter, made sure I had everything I needed. He talked me into the pesto pasta salad, instead of the potato salad I almost ordered. The noodles were perfect, just a hint of onion and pepper, and the pesto was full of bright flavors. I will definitely return! PS. As I was finishing up, they remade my sandwich and gave it to go... I am a excited for my second lunch today!!! read more

Always fun to find the quintessential breakfast place in every college town. Look no further -- this is it. Literally across the street from campus, Famous Toastery is a locally owned and operated (as with most Davidson, NC businesses). Quick attentive service including a fun conversation with the owner. Creative, fun menu perfect for a morning breakfast or brunch. (Astonished that there are any low-star reviews here -- perhaps everyone has a bad day, but for us the restaurant overdelivered for a fun, filling, pre-tour breakfast and walk around a lovely campus). read more

My friends and I were spending our very last few hours together and wanted to get a nice little brunch with cocktails in before we departed. We called ahead to see how long the wait was and to see if we could quickly make reservations. No reservations and you must put your name on the list once you get there. We had a 15-20 minute late and it was indeed a good 20 minute wait. The minute we say down we ordered mimosas. Our server came back within minutes with mimosas and cornbread. The mimosas were AWESOME. The cornbread was only okay ... we all tried it but no one finished a whole piece. Maybe if it was served warm it would have been better. To the good stuff! Whenever I see House made corned beef on a breakfast menu I almost always get it. Whenever I see a Reuben on a lunch menu I almost always get it. I was torn between the two but decided to go with the Reuben because our server said it was the best he ever had! On first bite I said out loud ... He was right! This was one of the best Reuben I've ever had. The Reuben came with breakfast potatoes. They too were super delicious! One friend ordered the Blah-Blah Omelet. Another ordered the Shrimp and Grits. Another ordered the Crab Cake Benedict. Although I LOVED my Reuben, the shrimp and grits were a killer. There were soooo good! We were in Davidson for the weekend. We tried to dine on Saturday but the wait was 45 minutes so we settled on FlatIron Kitchen. I didn't enjoy FlatIron Kitchen at all so I was pretty adamant about trying Famous Toastery. I'm so glad we did. If I'm ever in Davidson, NC again I'll be sure to stop by Famous Toastery for breakfast or brunch! Gladly read more

Famous Toastery - The best Reuben I ever had!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

An amazing Thursday starts with the perfect breakfast. For us this began at a little unassuming spot on Main Street in Davidson, NC. It continued with a super friendly, professional staff who had an "all hands on deck" approach to providing a great guest experience. Their motto is "everyone is your server." So there's this wonderful, shared responsibility to making certain that patrons have everything they need. There is street parking, and it was plentiful on this warm September morning. We were in and out in about 60 minutes. Outstanding service aside, the food is flawless. That's right... I said "flawless." I selected the combo which came with one huge pancake, a breakfast meat of your choice and eggs. It was the perfect amount of food for $11 bucks. The eggs were fresh, hot and fluffy. The pancake was light and topped with the most delicious blend of fresh blueberries, strawberries and I wanna say (rhubarb) compote. It was an unexpected blend of tangy, sweet je ne sais quoi, that took the hotcake from good to spectacular. All complimented each other, and the hickory smoked bacon was lean and thick cut, and the good taste simply [lingered]. Usually I am not a member of the clean plate club, but this morning I was. I even ate the fresh, juicy orange that garnished my plate and oh... How sweet it was. read more

Sat outside with family and friends on a sunny spring day. I ordered the ultimate bloody and avocado omelette + cilantro. Bloody could be spicier/more flavorful, next time I'll know to ask. Shared the French toast as an appetizer. Everything was delish, service was on point and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. Love their back patio, will definitely be back! read more

My sister and I pass Famous Toastery quite often and there's always people scurrying to get inside so we decided to join the crowd to see what all the "hoopla" was about! When we came in the door there was a server waiting to greet us with a warm welcome! We were seated at a comfortable table we selected and that was only the beginning of our have-it-your-way experience! Even though all of the servers collectively take care of all of the customers our server was Lawrence and he was great! Lawrence was instrumental in helping us narrow down our breakfast selection from a wide array of scrumptious options! My sister and I both ordered the classic breakfast and we had "No" regrets! Everything was perfect, mouthwatering and delicious! The restaurant was much larger than it appeared on the outside and it had a quaint little backyard seating area. I am certainly looking forward to my next trip to Famous Toastery! read more

Well let me say they have a huge menu from vegan to healthy to not so healthy but yummy looking options I'm going in for the fall specials pumpkin waffles with a cream cheese drizzle side of bacon, my husband is not much for breakfast items at breakfast so a burger it is (hence the not so healthy option) and both were outstanding. The waffles were clearly made with pumpkin purée and no need for any syrup ! The burger was big juicy and flavorful had added a side of potato salad let me mention he's a potato salad snub and he was delighted by its cold temp perfectly cooked large chunks of potato. CAN YOU SAY WINNER? And my best tip outstanding clean restrooms read more

This Famous Toastery is in a great location. It is within walking distance to Davidson College and cute, local shops. When we got there, we were told that there was a 20 minute wait. 40 minutes later, we were seated. Our witty and exuberant waiter brought fresh cornbread with homemade apple butter to the table. The cornbread was cold. It would have been better warm, but, it was still good. The homemade apple butter was not the smooth, creamy, "butter" like thickness that is the traditional apple butter. This apple butter had small chunks of apples with hints of cinnamon and other spices. I really enjoyed it! The three of us ordered various items from the menu. One of us ordered french toast, scrambled eggs, and two sausage patties. My other dining companion ordered the Runner omelette which consists of egg whites, turkey, roasted vegetables, and brie. It was served with a buttermilk biscuit and breakfast potatoes. My table mates were pleased with their meals. I had the Cornbeef Hash with two eggs over easy and hollandaise sauce. It was made from from real corn beef. Not that canned stuff! I really enjoyed the hash! I would get out without the hollandaise sauce next time. Our coffee cup and water glasses were never empty and if we needed anything, we would ask the closest waiter our waitress. As soon as we were seated, the waiter told us that every waiter and waitress were there to provide service. I like that system! Overall, the food and service was good. I would come back again. read more

I've always liked toast. I ate at the establishment twice this past week, once in Huntersville, then in Davidson. I was extremely disappointed by my experience at the Davidson location. The food is overpriced, such a small portion, and the most basic breakfast food ever, no real specialties. I got the quiche of the day, $12 with a side, $2 up charge for my side of all berries. The quiche was the size of my palm. My brothers flapjacks were almost as thin as a piece of paper. All of this and it's over $100 for a family of four with no alcohol on the tab, I'll pass. read more
