On my first visit to this wonderful little restaurant, everything lived up to its reputation. Just on the fact that they served unlimited pure maple syrup with the breakfast pretty much says it all. How many restaurants serve pure maple as the default option for your pancakes..french toast, etc? Place seems to be eternally packed but there is quick turnover, great ambiance, attentive staff...so the wait is worth it. read more

Had a nice long dinner here recently and was pleased with both food and service. The food was excellent, with generous portions - more than enough for a take-home box for those of us with smaller appetites! Server was attentive and water glasses kept full. We stayed until closing, which I know can be touchy for some places, but Toast staff were pleasant and accommodating right up until they locked the door behind us (No joke. We were THOSE people). Can't wait to get back! read more

We moved to Cornelius about a year ago and this is one of our favorite breakfast spots. Likes: atmosphere (always busy on weekends), good food and right in the heart of downtown Davidson. Tips: on the weekends you'll want to allow time for the line out the door - There's been 20-40 min wait many weekends.. However they do a great job of handling the crowd (they're fast but don't rush us out the door). read more

Famous Toastery - Egg Salad Sandwich with Fresh Fruit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

Following a failed attempt to check out another brunch spot in Langtree area we decided to go back to a faithful favorite in Famous Toastery. Between the Huntersville and Davidson location I would say Davidson has the edge. It has been a while to visit here but the Florentine Benedict with added sausage was deliciouuuuss, along with the breakfast potatoes which were the best I have had anywhere, totally satisfied. read more

I thought that this restaurant wasn't going to be anything special since there are so many brunch places now. But downtown Davidson and its little charm plus the delicious food here blew my mind. They make their pancakes fresh every day. We had a raspberry walnut pancake on our walking tour and it was so good! I'm usually not a big fan of pancakes but these were so fresh and had chunks of walnuts in them. The honey cured bacon was a close second - couldn't get enough of it! read more

Been here twice. Both times my food was very good. First time I had Huervos Ranchos. Totally not what I expected, but in a good way. Black beans on the bottom. Tortilla strips, eggs, avocado. Yum. Excellent service at the counter. Second time I had the breakfast burrito. Good choice, but I'd go with the Huervos again just because it's unique. Hot coffee kept filled. Both times my food was out fast. Cute place. read more

Have eaten at this Davidson location many times for both lunch and dinner, solo, with family, friends, etc. Have always had excellent service, even in the busiest of times. The manager is super nice. Yesterday was the first time I was truly disappointed with my selection, a turkey club sandwich. Simple enough, eh? 1 measly slice of turkey was between 2 pieces of sour dough (very good bread) and a single slice of tomato and single lettuce leaf between the other. I had asked they they not include the ham. Surely it would occur to someone in the kitchen to SUBSTITUTE an additional slice of turkey, but no such luck. Our bill was $33.+ $5 tip (this poor sandwich by itself is $11!!!) and I'm thinking for $38+, there's no reason a patron should leave HUNGRY. Very disappointed! Not sure I'll return any longer. Be careful what you order. read more

Have dined here many times and it is always a good spot for breakfast. They offer a wide range of basic breakfast + lunch options. The staff is always friendly + helpful. The coffee, however, is poor. Also the later in the day that you go for breakfast, the food seems to start tasting old... had the breakfast potatoes and they tasted like they had been cooked hours ago! Otherwise a good spot for a basic breakfast meal. read more

I've been to the Dilworth Toast location but the Davidson location is a step up. I visited this Toast for dinner and was handed the type of menu where there are seven or eight items you want to order. The service at Toast was warm and friendly without being overbearing. Toast is more than just toast. Their dinner menu ranged from premium burgers, daily risotto, pastas and favorites like shepherds pie. I split a small poached pear salad (which wasn't all that small) and tried the risotto and lasagna. Their prices were very reasonable for the homemade taste. Dinner here was worth going out on a cold and rainy night. read more

I heard great reviews of Toast in Davidson and was intrigued to find out for myself. I went up to Davidson in a car full of my co-workers with the intent to spend a working brunch at Toast. All of them ordered breakfast and I ordered the half portobello with a cup of soup. The service was pretty good. The food was, A-OK. The breakfast was nothing spectacular (especially for the price)...your average eggs, meat selection, and a single piece of french toast. The soup was hearty and rich and the sandwich was fine. Watch your step though...the floors were so slick! I thought it was just me in my rubber rain boots, but everyone else was sliding around too. They may have put in new flooring since my visit was a few weeks ago and one of the co-owners said that was in the works. He was really friendly. The ambiance was cozy and it definitely has a prime location in Davidson. It gets packed, so call in a reservation or get there early. I wouldn't make a special trip to eat here again, but it made for a nice road trip with my co-workers. read more

Solid breakfast place. Not busy on Tuesday morning when I went with a coworker. The restaurant did film up quickly by the time we were heading out. I had the French toast, she had one of the Benedicts. The mimosas and Bellinis were only $5 a piece! Mine was strong but my coworker said hers were mostly juice so it may be hit or miss. The French toast comes plain so I added strawberries, it was kind of dry and needed two large pours of maple syrup. That being said, I really liked it. Glad to see real maple syrup on the table here. Coffee was strong. read more

Vastly understaffed. Didn't even get the opportunity to enjoy the food due to the lack of service.

I've yet to be disappointed with the food. The management is responsive. The menu changes with the season. Equally good for breakfast/lunch/bruch. The only reason I don't give it five stars is the crowd; it is jam packed - I'd rather have a liiiitttle more elbow room (most tables are so close you really do bump your neighbor or have to move to let people in/out). I would happily wait an extra 5-10 minutes for a more pleasant dining experience if it means fewer tables. Also, the place is really busy and the staff tends to make you feel rushed b/c you have a server (or two), plus a kid expediting the food and a bus boy all coming/going from your table. I answered "No, Not Wheelchair Accessible" b/c I work with a population that requires wheelchairs and I do not see any way to access this place w/out the staff having to move every table and chair to clear a path. read more

Very poor service. Eggs and sausage arrived nearly cold. Stale, cold bread. The worst coffee I have had since London. Never again.

We all came here for Sunday morning post-wedding brunch. Considering we were a party of 7, we got seated relatively quickly (it helped that we were there before all the post-Easter mass people). Coffee was acquired quickly: we had injured among our ranks (it was a wedding, after all), so this was a great move on the part of our waitress. After that, we ordered some food. I have a low-grade addiction to goat cheese, so the Northwest omelet was an obvious choice. Others got some of the good stuff on the menu, like the strawberry and cream cheese french toast, the crepes, and the crab benedict. All the food came out really quickly, and was excellent. My Northwest omelet was incredible: so much cheese :D. Also quite affordable. The ambiance here is really nice: rustic, with a nice outside area as well. If you're in Davidson and want some brunch, this is the place to go. read more

Considering there is a serious lack of Mom and Pop breakfast places in this neck of the woods, Toast is a nice find. Everything is made from scratch, and the atmosphere is pretty cozy. That being said, nothing spectacular was served. I had the corned beef hash, which was not from a can but overwhelmingly salty. The hash itself and an egg would have been sufficient, but they drowned it in hollandaise sauce. I thought that sounded decadent, but it didn't translate well as the hash had been thoroughly killed with half a pint of salt. It's an okay alternative to waffle house or ihop, but it's not worth the 30 minute wait I experienced for a table. read more

Toast is one of those cafes you never want to leave. Their breakfast foods are outstanding. I most recently went out for lunch with some co-workers and got the left-coast BLT served as a wrap instead of a sandwich and substituted the pasta salad for a fruit bowl. All of the ingredients were fresh, our service was great, and we enjoyed a quick, yummy lunch! Definitely a restaurant must if you are in the Davidson area! read more

Their food is always amazing. I prefer their french toast or southwest style omelet. I have eaten there many times over the last 5 years and have no complaints read more

I absolutely love everything about this location! The staff is always super friendly, the drinks are amazing, and the food is always worth the wait. They were out of a few items (covid shortage I'm guessing, no biggie!) our waitress was quick to fix the situation and the manager came over and made sure we were happy! Couldn't ask for a better way to start the morning. read more

Awesome food. Great service. Went on a Sunday morning just before church crowd was busier than expected but food was extremely quick. Would highly recommend to friends and family. read more

Crab cake Benedict was dry and had little crab. The grits was watery. Nice atmosphere but the food was so bland.

We enjoy the urban feel of this little restaurant in quaint downtown Davidson, NC. The best breakfast in the area, plus the staff is the friendliest and entertaining. Chris, our favorite waiter, is a stand up comedian, keeps us laughing. Mat gives a show when he sets up the table. Great dining experience. read more

We really love this place and every time we visit our son in Davidson we eat at least twice here. The food, no matter what we order is always excellent but it is the folks that work that make the place. My son is a local firefighter and the staff treat him so kindly and with respect. That alone is a great reason to support this place. read more

Amazzzzing meal!! We came from out of town and found it on Yelp...We went for breakfast. I had bacon, sausage gravy, Best sausage gravy Ive ever had! My husband had the Maine lobster eggs Benedict and loved it!! Cute atmosphere and friendly fun staff! Go!! No regrets! read more

A little hidden gem. We have pasted this place several times and visited it on the food tour. What a pancake, raspberry and I am not a pancake fan, it was great. Nice atmosphere and even nicer owners. We had a nice time and look forward to eating there again. read more

I love this place. Been back several times for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Frannies is the perfect dessert - a warm mixture of brownie and bake batter withe fudge and ice cream on top. Heaven! The left coast blt is my go to, and the avocado omelet is great as well. I like the burgers, and the house salad is excellent. read more

Good food. Grits a bit bland but ok. Prices a little on the high side. $3.50 for coke, and $3.50 for coffee is a bit of a stretch! Coffee was fine but should have been $2.50. read more

Went here on my day off. Its a great place to eat breakfast at. There was no wait for our table and the service was really good too. Our meals were good and filling. I had the usual omelet which was great. The restaurant itself was designed really nicely. read more

There is only one reason why I'm not giving this my first 5 star restaurant review and that is because of ambiance... namely the acoustics and the teeny tiny tables. It's very difficult to comfortably fit four at a table of four and it is always, no matter the time of day, difficult to hear the person across from you. If the restaurant could fix the acoustics so I could hear my tablemates, the food earns and deserves 5 stars. I have eaten both breakfast and lunch at Toast (Famous Toastery) probably 15 times. The food is consistently above par. The french toast and flapjacks are both generously sized and served with warmed syrup. The blueberry-stuffed with delightful. Omelettes are creative and delicious, my favs so far: The Avocado (avocado/tomato/bacon/parmesan); Boursin (tomatoes/bacon/boursin cheese); MBS (mushroom/bacon swiss); SMG (spinach/mushroom/gruyere) and my next to try is the Tofu (tofu/spinach/roasted red pepper/artichoke). The breakfast Combo is your choice of french toast or flapjacks, one egg any style and bacon or sausage. My meal of stuffed french toast, scrambled egg and bacon may have been the perfect breakfast. Lunchtime is just as good, too.The Left Coast BLT (bacon/lettuce/tomato/brie/avocado) is my go-to sandwich. Sides are a choice of pasta salad, potato salad, cole slaw or chips. I might choose to say that prices are little high, breakfast is in the $9.99 and $10.99 range which is maybe $2.00 more than most places charge for breakfast. But in this case I'm going to have to point out that since the food tastes significantly better than places costing $7.99 or $8.99 that I'm ok with that. Service is usually extremely fast since servers help with all tables. There's often some confusion for new to Toast people over whether they pay at the table or pay at the cashier station but it always works out. If you've not been before and you plan to go for lunch you need to be there by 12:00 PM or the seats will all be filled. Breakfast during the weekday is steady but busy and it's usually safe to say you'll get a table. Breakfast on the weekends, good luck, everyone flocks there to enjoy the beautiful Town of Davidson ambiance, delicious food and our often beautiful weather. Go if you haven't been and go again if you have! read more

Everyone knows that you can't beat the Toastery for breakfast. And as a result, on the weekends, you will need to plan to wait a short bit. My wife and I avoid the weekends, and stop regularly there during the week. Excellent service (from what appears to be Davidson college kids) just right sized portions, fair prices, and excellent coffee. Best b'fast place in town. read more

Met some friends for brunch here on a rainy Sunday morning. You have to get here early, as it fills up quick. Due to that reason, they pack in the tables. Literally on top of one another, which lends itself to a very casual country kitchen feel. Don't come here for a quiet meal and conversation. As for the food, I had a runner omelette which was healthy but delicious. They always kept my coffee mug full and will even offer you a to go. I love toast for breakfast or lunch and will be back!! read more

Good bfast choice. Was $67 for 4 adults and a kids meal. We got the shrimp and grits, omelettes, pancakes and favorite hash. All large portions and all was very good even the coffee, which is often not the case with these diner type restaurants. Not the best food I ever had, nothing mind blowing but all good. Definitely a solid option, we came around 9am on Saturday morning they were pretty busy but no wait and we were seated outside right away. read more
