Came here for breakfast on a Monday morning and the first thing I noticed was how bright and inviting the space felt. It's really nice inside, and the staff were warm and welcoming right when we walked in. I ordered a hot matcha latte with two pumps of vanilla. The flavor was just okay... not bad, but not what I was expecting. The matcha color wasn't very vibrant, which kind of threw me off that it wouldn't be very strong or fresh tasting, and that ended up being the case. For food, I ordered the crab Benedict, which wasn't the best. The crispy potatoes were definitely the highlight. Super tasty, but I wish the plate had more potatoes and fewer bell peppers and veggies. The crab cakes themselves were just alright and didn't really stand out, and my egg was slightly overcooked, though the hollandaise sauce helped add some creaminess. We also shared the French toast, which was very sweet and actually really good. Service was fine overall; our server was polite and professional, but once the food came out, he only checked on us once. It wasn't a bad experience, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way for, especially with so many better breakfast spots around. read more

First thing we noticed was the menu is great a lot of healthier options to choose from for a Sunday breakfast. The cappuccino's were fluffy and hot and that was nice. However, some of my food landed and it was cold over all the service was working hard and our food did come out fast. We love this location, it's close to home, but it's a little pricey. We paid $85 for two breakfast plates and two cappuccinos. read more

I ate here a few weeks back with my mother and my sister. My mother loved her clam chowder. They gave her the big bowl. She didn't know they offer two sizes. It would've been nice if she was told beforehand, but I think she ate the entire bowl so no worries there. My sister and I got the chicken "Wish I could Fly" sandwich and had a salad for the side. The sandwich was tasty. Major gripe, and I hate when restaurants do this (even food critics have slammed this practice), please offer a normal sized plate. Next time I will ask, but it's really annoying having a small tray and it's super hard to eat when you've got a small tray. It just doesn't work lol. They. have a patio overlooking the parking lot. There is a lot of traffic noise, but at least you don't have the music blaring like they do inside. The chairs are pretty comfortable as well. read more

I can't believe I forgot to review mehroze early toast when I went about half a year ago. It was so packed, but our waitress was amazing and got her food and drinks that to us quickly, and the food was delicious. Still dreaming about those Benedicts. Didn't get a chance much to appreciate the restaurant itself. Just because of how packed it was, but the close to the American River and old Folsom, which is nice read more

Really solid brunch spot in the Folsom area! I'm surprised I haven't been here sooner. Despite being pretty busy for a Monday morning, they got our table seated right away. They had cute little kids menus folded up with crayon packs which was a huge plus. They had a pretty good kids meal selection too, and my son enjoyed the Mickey Mouse pancakes! Our server was awesome, I wish I caught his name! Really polite and friendly, and happy to accommodate any requests we had. I really enjoyed my crab cake benedict. The crab cake was moist and still crispy on the exterior, good amount of hollandaise, and a properly poached egg. I appreciated the fact that they offered different options for sides, like roasted potatoes, hash browns, or rice. The hash browns were a nice pairing with the hollandaise from my eggs benedict! I also wanted to try the Truckee French toast which seemed to be a favorite on the menu description. The exterior was nice and crisp but otherwise nothing too unique in flavor - just a nicely made French toast. The half order was perfect for our table to share. I would probably go for 4.5 stars but the matcha latte was just not happening for me. The color immediately gave away the quality and lack of matcha used in the drink! But it was nice of the server to adjust the vanilla sweetener for us when we ordered, otherwise I'd probably just stay away from the matcha drinks here! Overall besides the drink I had a good experience here! Will definitely add it to the rotation for brunch spots in the area. read more

Stopped in at Mario's Early Toast with the family after a suggestion, from a friend who lives in the Folsom area. We had been looking for a good breakfast spot im the area and had come across Mario's first, and the recommendation sealed the decision. After arriving we immediately noticed the Hoildy decord and Santa statue at the front entrance. After being quicklu greeted we were promptly escorted to the upper level dinning area, where there was a bar. But it was a little cold up there, so after sitting for a couple of minutes, we asked to be seated downstairs to which our waitress happily obliged. Once downstairs we took a little more time to look through the large options on the menu, and ended up deciding on the following items: Drinks: Hot chocolate Main courses: The Perfect Combo (x2) Protein waffles Belgium waffle with bananas & pecans Acai bowl Battered French toast with Nutella The meals with surprisingly large, which is not a bad thing at all; we all were definitely pleasantly surprised. The only mis which was due to not really understanding what the dish was, was on thr Battered French Toast with Nutells that my son ordered. He was under the impression that it was standard French Toast with Nutells, and not a heavily deep fried dessert type of dish. Because on top of it being deep fried, and being collered in Nutella, it's all a big dish of 4 very large deep fried pieces, and is also served with whipped cream. We however did look at the dishes description and then realized it does say the French Toast is "battered" so we watered realized it obviously deep fried. When we mentioned our confusion on the dish, our waitress did reiterate that it is a large dish, and that she almost mentioned that it's typically a dish recommended for multiple people, and not one person. Ultimately due to how that particular dish is more of a dessert and not a breakfast, and how heavily fried and full of sugar. And the fact he'd already had a hot chocolate before any of our dishes arrived. My son just couldn't finish it and maybe ate one full piece of French Toast and took the rest home. Overall: Great spot, good service and good food. read more

Found Mario's Early Toast on Yelp when looking for brunch spots in Folsom. We came around 9am and were seated immediately. The menu is extensive and there is a good amount of vegetarian options. I got the Primavera Crepe with potatoes and then my friends got the Strawberry French Toast and the skillet. Primavera Crepe (3.5/5): Crepe was cooked well but it was a bit small. Flavors were solid, though it could have been more flavorful with more sauce and seasoning. Would have liked crunchier potatoes Friends said the Mexican Skillet was good but could have used more seasoning. The Strawberry French Toast was pretty big in terms of portion size and friend liked it, but she said it could have had more strawberries. We left around 10:30am and it started getting busy around then so I recommend coming earlier! While the savory dishes could have used more seasoning, the service was good and staff checked in to make sure everything was okay. I would consider coming back to try a sweet entree instead read more

I had the Rocklin omelette with the hollandaise on the side, with hash browns and very good toast. I have half of in my fridge for tomorrow. Super good, service prompt. I've now been here a couple of times and the Roseville one, as well. This one is less frenetic, and just relaxing. I'll definitely be back! read more

We were in Folsom and decided to look for a brunch stop and Yelp took us to Mario's Early Toast. Everyone who works there was very friendly and helpful, and they all look like they like working there. We ordered Americanos while we waited for our food -- perfect. We both ordered the Perfecto omelette, and, when I asked for server Alejandro's recommendation regarding the potatoes, he suggested the house potatoes "crispy." And, omg, that's exactly how you want them. Delicious. The omelette was also great, and the sourdough toast was just right. The portions are very generous. Lots of interesting things to look at in this comfortable restaurant. We plan to return soon. read more

I was actually pretty impressed with this place. We live so close and passed by many times and finally decided to try it out. Staff is friendly the place is cute. I loved the fried steak it was delicious I forgot what my gf got some sort of scramble but it was also delicious the portions are generous! Mine came with a biscuit and it was so good warm and soft I would go back just for the biscuit lol I even had my first espresso martini and it was so good! The French toast was a perfect amount of crisp and soft and never got soggy it was so good! I definitely would dine here again I took one star off because we were sat in a booth (which was fine) however all the blinds were closed and except for the window by us so all the flies inside were attracted to that one window so we were constantly fighting flies. I know there isn't much to do about flies but it was the most annoying part of this dining experience Other than that would totally eat here again! read more

12.31.2025 - MARIO'S EARLY TOAST - FOLSOM, CA - my last breakfast of the year - I ordered the loco moco and it was delicious. Over medium eggs and medium beef patty. The gravy was a mushroom gravy topped the eggs with green onions and pineapple slice. Everything was good. I didn't eat the pineapple slice as that is a strange combination to me. I didn't even taste it to literally experience it. I can't make myself to do it as I never ate it this way in my life. The waitress was extremely helpful. I'm a cheap-ads. But I gave her a large tip anyway cause the loco Moco was good. Minus the pineapple. What's a local girl from Hawaii that has a pineapple slice on your loco moco? I don't indulge. But hey Happy New Year everyone. It's going to be a great 2026. read more

Came here and ordered the toasties and the country chicken fried steak with potatoes and overeasy eggs. The toasties were good, but a bit too sweet for my taste. The chicken fried steak had the perfect amount of crispiness. I asked for the gravy on the side so it would not get soggy. The service was great. The server checked in on us occasionally, and the decorations inside the restaurant were cute with Christmas decor. read more

Tried this location for the first time today and I was great. Last time I was at this place it was a sushi restaurant...but now it is a multi level breakfast spot. Love the decor and especially the artwork. The menu is extensive so it's hard to choose! I went with the smoked salmon avocado toast, it's very generous with two slices of sourdough, two eggs plus the salmon. I didn't realize the salmon was going to be cooked, that was a little weird but it was still good. Only thing I didn't like was the plate. Looks like it was made for Instagram and not for eating. Too hard to cut the toast on it. But I prevailed. Server was very friendly and it was quick. Pretty packed for a Tuesday morning! read more

I've eaten here several times since my last review, and have had good meals. Today, I was in kind of a hurry, so I decided to do a "DoorDash." I decided to do the "ground turkey, fitness skillet", with egg whites, ground, turkey, spinach, mushrooms, onions, and zucchini topped with tomato slices. Instead of bread, it came with a very nice cup of fresh fruit. The food came quick, and it was still hot when it got to me. The meal was pretty good, but not compared to what I've had here before. The veggies had a good flavor, I loved The pop of freshness that the tomato brought, the eggs were good,, but the ground turkey itself was kind of bland. I know that's the nature of ground turkey, but you think they could've seasoned it up a little bit better before it left the restaurant. A little bit of salt and pepper on my end did help. I will continue to eat here and order from here, but this is a Dish. I will stay away from in the future.. Thanks anyway. read more

My hubby brought me here for brunch on a Sunday. It's usually busy but you can call ahead when you're 20 mins out to get on the waiting list. Once we parked the car and I walked inside the table was ready. It was perfect. Now let's get into the meal.... I had the MEXICAN OMELET Three eggs, chorizo, onions, bell pepper, topped with sour cream, avocado, cheese, tomato, chives, served with house potatoes, and a side of salsa. Omg my food was to die for. The flavors were amazing and the service was great. The ambiance is nice for brunch either friends and or a daytime date. I can't wait to come back with friends for a brunch. read more

After Church today the wife and I had some errands to run and so being that we were both hungry, we decided to try Marios Early Toast. As we walked into the restaurant, we noticed the decor since it was Christmas was all Christmas based. We got sat down at a table for 2 people and the atmosphere was warm and very welcoming. Our waitress came over to our table not more than 5 minutes later to ask about what we wanted to drink. My wife got a Pepsi and I got a Coffee as it was morning time and I hadnt had my daily cup of coffee yet. About 3 minutes later our drinks came and then our waitress had asked about the food and if we knew about what we wanted to eat. So I ordered the Biscuits and Gravy (After trying a side of the gravy and it being the most creamiest gravy I've ever had, without pepper in it), and my wife ordered a Breakfast Sandwich. At about 5 to 10 minutes later our food came and my side of the biscuits and gravy was scrambled eggs, potatoes, and sausage w/2 Pieces of bacon. My food from beginning to end was delicious however, the biscuit was a bit tough as if you were eating day old stale bread. But my eggs, my sausage, my potatoes and my bacon were all delicious. My wife said that her breakfast sandwich was also ver delicious as well. As a staple to being a good place to eat Breakfast / Brunch at, I most certainly will do that again. So far after moving to Folsom and trying another place that we will most certainly revisit, I see a trend on restaurants in the area all being great food. Thanks Marios Early Toast for a wonderful breakfast. Your staff is very friendly, professional, your food is delicious and the price wasnt too bad either. We will be back! read more

Came here post race and we were hungry. This place was getting busy when we arrived. Mario's has huge portions and you definitely get your money's worth. I will need to come back to try more of their menu. I love that they have healthy and gluten free options. Pros: large portions of kitchen diner food. Our server was friendly and checked on us from time to time. Our food came out quickly. Cons: parking could be an issue as there are limited spots. read more

I was running an errand out in Folsom and wanted to try something new. My wife loves brunch foods so we decided to come here based on some delicious looking photos. We arrived around 11:00a.m. and got seated immediately even though the restaurant was busy and lively. Because of the nice weather, we sat outside which was so beautiful outside of the occasional super loud cars driving by. The service was extremely great as the workers were professional and compassionate. I love service with a smile! As for food, we ordered 1 sweet entree and 1 savory entree. For the sweet entree we shared the peaches and cream crepes. It had a nice crunch on the exterior and soft pillowy body. The inside was filled with a cream cheese filling that was slightly sweetened. On top was a buttery caramel sauce, whipped cream, and peaches. I just wish that the peaches were fresh and not canned but I can't complain. Overall, it was a very sweet treat! Basically a dessert. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. It comes with a side of potatoes?!? We got the home style potatoes for our side choice. This was a nice way to balance the sweetness. Also, ranch is free here. YES. For our savory entree we decided to go with the Rocklin omelette which came with pieces of steak, cheese, wrapped in a fluffy omelette outside, and topped with hollandaise sauce! It came with another side option so we went with hash browns and we got a slice of buttered toast too! Let me tell you, the culmination of the toast, hash browns, ranch, and The Omelette was amazing! Amazing! The Omelette was so flavorful and the hash browns were nice and crispy on the outside, just the way they need to be. I would give this restaurant a solid 4.5. Quick service, kind employees, and solid food. I'd like to try their Hawaiian breakfast options next time :) read more

Would give 10 stars! We came with a party of 4 for Sunday brunch and were seated right away--zero wait time, which was a great start. The menu is fantastic with so many tempting choices. The Pacific Omelet was a hands down a standout--perfectly cooked, packed with fresh ingredients, and full of flavor. Not something I would typically ever order ~ so happy I was adventurous! We also loved the HUGE selection of mimosas--so many fun flavors to choose from, it made brunch even more enjoyable! We sat outside on the deck and really appreciated the cool, laid-back vibe. The inside ambiance is chic and well thought out. Our server was friendly, fun, and made us feel totally welcome. Great food, great service, great atmosphere--what more is there?! Absolutely, we will definitely be back. Highly recommend! *parking may be an issue! Come with patience! Could have sat there all day! read more

Late review from my visit on 10/19/25, but wanted to share! This was my first time at Mario's Early Toast (Folsom location), meeting a group of six friends for a get-together. I was excited to try a new spot with gluten-free options since their menu had several that caught my eye. At our table, we had a mix of dishes--a friend ordered the breakfast rice, another got a breakfast sandwich, someone else had the Folsom omelette, and two of us who are gluten-free ordered the Perfect Combo with gluten-free waffles and sausage patties. The sausage patties, breakfast potatoes, and eggs were all cooked well and delicious. However, the gluten-free waffles were cold, very dry, and lacked flavor, even though I had ordered the Maui flavor. Definitely disappointing. Our server, though, was amazing--super accommodating, attentive to our large group, and quick to help. When we shared the issue with the waffles, she immediately replaced them with gluten-free pancakes, which were much better in both texture and flavor. We also tried their special fall coffees, which were a highlight. I ordered the apple-flavored one (so good!), and my friend tried the black & white. Overall, we had a great time catching up, and the service was truly wonderful. I'm not sure I would make this my go-to gluten-free breakfast spot just yet, but I'd consider giving it another try--just skipping the waffles next time. read more

Met up with a couple of friends at Mario's for breakfast. I had the Breakfast Sandwich which consists of scrambled eggs, jack and cheddar cheese, tomatoes, avocado, bacon, ham and sour cream on grilled sourdough bread. I ordered mine with the included hash browns. It's a big sandwich and it is tasty, but it was a tiny bit dry and definitely could've used a bit more sour cream to moisten it up a little. I've been here before for breakfast on a weekday, and they have been busy each time, but still the food comes out in a timely manner. Our server was pretty attentive, but my small water glass emptied pretty quickly and I had to ask for a refills. We were in the upstairs room where s large work celebration was being held and it was loud. After the party of (at least) 16 left, it was very pleasant and much quieter. Be prepared, this is not a super budget-friendly restaurant, but the food is good. read more

From the cheerful greeting upon arrival to walking out pleasantly full, a great experience. Julie Q provided exemplary service without hovering or being intrusive. My wife had a peachy Mimosa with her Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Most of the time Loco Moco is made with canned or reconstituted dry gravy. Not here. The gravy was fresh and lighter than most that I have had, the hamburger was tasty and perfectly cooked. We are definitely going to go back soon. read more

I really wanted to love this place. Came here on Tuesday around 11 and the restaurant was fairly busy, but we were immediately greeted and seated. Our host was also our waitress. She was nice and immediately took her order when we were ready. My daughter ordered the pancakes, Mickey Mouse style with two pieces of bacon, my husband ordered the biscuits and gravy, and I ordered the classic combo with hashbrowns eggs(sub fruit), bacon, sausage and French toast. Overall, the restaurant was chatty, but it was not loud . The restrooms were dirtier than I expected, and the food was underwhelming. My husband said his dish was just OK. Nothing special. My daughter of course ate the pancakes and the bacon was crispy. No complaints there. Sadly, my cup fruit was not fresh. My hashbrowns were completely slick with some type of oil or fat. The sausage was cooked but was not crispy or warm and my bacon was chewy which is fine but my daughter's bacon was cooked to perfection so I didn't see consistency with bacon. When the check came, I told the waitress that the hashbrowns were not edible and she did give us a partial refund. The star of my entire dish was my French toast . Cooked perfectly nice crisp on the outside fluffy in the middle and the cinnamon sugar was a nice touch. read more

Sierra Omelet, the best omelet I've ever had. Our first time here, definitely not our last.

I had breakfast here Monday (president's day) with my family, we only waited 15 minutes for a table and sat on the second floor (I didn't even realize there were so many floors) I tried something new- the breakfast rice, it was really good and the perfect amount of spicy. I also had the strawberry matcha- the cold foam was delicious! We had great food and great service! Thank you! read more

The food is good, although I got a classic Benedict and one of my eggs was over poached, but everyone else's turned out great and was really yummy. My only qualm I have is they could have a better venue. It's small, and they have multiple locations to know the built a name for themselves. Luckily we have a reservation, unluckily they could t accommodate a change in it the day before. All in all if I want a good brunch I'll be back. It's worth it if you make a reservation. read more
