Went for a late brunch on a Sunday, around 1:40 PM. There was no wait - we were able to walk in and get a table for two right away. There was still a decent amount of people and full tables though, just not crazy like at other times. Our server was friendly and everything moved pretty quickly. I tried the seasonal/special pumpkin something cold brew to drink and it was okay - a little bitter and not as pumpkiny or sweet as I expected. For food, I ordered the chicken and waffles and my friend got the Megs American Breakfast Burrito. The chicken and waffles came on top of sweet potato mash, which if I read the menu would not have been such a surprise haha. Thought it was just kind of random, but it worked. Im not sure when this location opened but I think this is a great spot for The Friendly Toast. There are plenty of options for parking, but it can be difficult to get the "good" spots. The food was good and came out quickly. It had good flavor... and the service was good. I do think it is a little pricey for breakfast/brunch food, but part of it is the experience of the friendly toast. They all have fun, unique elevated diner-esq styles and vibes. read more

The Friendly Toast - Pumpkin Cold Brew - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

Had a first date at the bar yesterday and were taken very well care of by Ashlyn and Kayla (sorry I'm not sure on spelling here)! I've been in this business a long time. These ladies (though both fairly new to the bar) were warm, engaging and respectful - checked in just enough to make sure we were happy and enjoying, but were never disruptive or intrusive. The food was delicious, as were the mocktail/lemonade we ordered. Multiple managers also did a quick table (bar) touch to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. Great time all around, would highly recommend, thank you read more

Me and my sisters came for brunch. First things first...we were greeted by a Mr. Leon, with a beautiful smile who seated us at table #1. Our waitress name is Breanna. Another One! (Shout out to Dj Khalid) She was the hostess with the mostest!! She knew everything excellent to order, was attentive w/o being intrusive, and her bubbly personality was a plus. Now. About the food. Fluffy Eggs althoughI couldn't taste the jalapeno cheese, excellent pork sausage, french toast and pancakes were awesome. My sisters complaint was about the jalapeno cheese. Y'all gotta get a better jalapeno cheese or add a real jalapeno to it. The other issue was, the smashed potatoes were inconsistent due to the salt content. However, everything else ordered was very good. By the way. Met the manager. Her name is Ms. Abigail. Talk about accommodatingly awesome! With her confident and compassionate customer service acumen, she made everthing perfect. We'll be back soon. Hope to see y'all here in the near future. read more

I've come here a few times and the interior design of the restaurant is nice. All the different colors and they have some great drinks you can get some amazing drinks for brunch with some alcohol. They do a great job with the food. It's consistent, good, and it always comes out hot. I've never had an issue with parking because usually the mall is not that busy in the morning. I would recommend this place if you're looking for something different with alcohol. They do get extremely busy on the weekends, so plan accordingly. read more

This place is a hidden gem at legacy place in dedham. We scoped it out one day when went to kings and finally tried it out for brunch today. Cool vibes, definitely a friendly and chill family atmosphere. The service is top notch and the food is fire . We got the mimosa flight that was super good, I mean wicked good lol and the French toast and chocolate chip pancakes. They have gluten free as well, so my girlfriend was able to eat the pancakes. We will be here at least twice a month. We absolutely love this brunch spot on a sunday. Honestly no shade at all, but this is the best friendly toast location u want to go to. Thank you to Danielle our server. She was perfect Kind and sweet. FRENCH TOAST AND CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES WAS FIRE Keep up the great work. Oh! Yeah try reservations too my advice would be to take a little salt out the bacon and add more gluten free products compatible to the the normal. read more

Such a cute brunch place! Retro decorations, bold colors, vinyl benches, whacky light fixtures. So many things to stimulate the senses! Food was great. Maple Tumeric Hot Sauce was a hit! If they had bottles to purchase, I would've bought it to take home! Portions were satisfying, ingredients were fresh. The staff was attentive and accommodating even though it was bustling and busy. Very family friendly. I would definitely visit again! read more

Restaurant is very cute but food was mediocre. I had the Bohemian Wrapsody, which did not have avocado and was tasteless. My husband had pancakes that were fair. In addition, the booth we sat in was tiny(we are not big people). Service was good read more

We have been to this location many times. The food is great and in par what you except at any friendly toast location. A bit loud especially if there are a lot of kids there, but you can always talk, so not too bad. The problem is that you always have to have a reservation or you will wait around 20 to 40 minutes and even with a reservation you will be lucky if you get seated within 5 minutes if your party is 4 or more people. Also parking here is insane unless you go direct into the parking garage and head to the second floor directly and aren't very picky about getting a spot near an elevator. The other thing that is they don't bring you water when you sit and it's also hard sometimes to find your server for a refill. That is a thing I always look for at a good restaurant. But other than those minor things, its a reliable place to go for brunch or lunch at legacy place as long as you are prepared. That's why we keep coming back. read more

Looking around for Breakfast this came up. Looked cute so gave it a try... getting in and out of this plaza is an experience of patience. But once we parked we shuffled into kind of a Shenanigans meets Chili's/Applebee's decor. Waitress was right over got our drinks and order. I asked for an Iced Mocha and the Monte Madam. Which I assumed was a Monte Cristo sandwich variant. Mocha was a drip coffee in poured over ice with Hersey syrup, yuck. My sandwich was a hamburger potato bun COVERED in two colors of sweet sauce, cold chopped deli ham, and not melted cheese. I brought attention to the meal and was told that "It was right, that's how it always is." It was inedible. Place is cute but buy something off the wall not the menu. read more

This place has the cutest, funkiest and quirkiest decor ever which drew me in immediately. The eggs benedict was okay, definitely not the best ive ever had but I was just trying something new and I'm not a huge benedict fan. The service was wonderful and i loved that they have menu items that support Noah Kahan's mental health initiative! My friend and i added our contribution to The Busyhead Project Community wall and we spent some time just looking through these notes and appreciating them. read more

Meg's American Burrito was great, although a bit heavy on bacon and light on hashbrown. The star of the show was really the Maple Tumeric hot sauce on the side. Monster Breakfast was massive portion, and came with an extra pancake! Pancakes were the star, rest of the food was very classic diner, didn't blow me away. Home fries could've been a bit more well-done. Come hungry, nice comfort breakfast with massive portions read more

Come for the whimsy, stay for the food. I was visiting my sister and looking for a nice place for brunch. Conveniently located in a mall so plenty of parking. Cute decor. Friendly waitress, delicious food. We had the chicken and waffles and the Irish Benedict and split them! What more could you ask for? Crispy well seasoned chicken. Actually, something a little flat about the waffles. A little like maybe the flour wasn't cooked through? But a nitpick. The Irish Benedict was a perfectly poached egg with hollandaise sauce on an English muffin. It was supposed to be corned beef hash it was just strips of corned beef. Delicious but a little chewy. Can not wait to go back and try some more things. That's my entire 5 star rubric. Am I thinking about what I want to order next time while I'm eating? Yes? Then 5 stars. read more

The staff at The Friendly Toast - Dedham is absolutely fantastic. They make you feel welcome, keep the VERY busy restaurant moving along, and go above and beyond if you mention any kind of allergy. I ordered Amy's American Burrito and an Iced Coffee. I was fairly certainly it wouldn't be a problem, but I mentioned my problem with Oats. I would neeever have though there would be oat fiber in the wrap. They saved me some real discomfort and they had an alternate wrap to give me. They really went out of their way and it was so appreciated. They also get all the points for refilling my bottomless ice coffee which, at other retaurants, is sometimes forgotten. I used to love the Cambridge - Technology Sq. location and it was nice to go to Friendly Toast again and soak in the land of formica and whimsical vintage. The menu has changed a little bit since then, or maybe the locations have different menus? But still good. I'm glad this local chain is doing so well that they have expanded so much. read more

So went there today with high expectations for the first and now last time! Walked in and we really liked the place. I ordered a chicken sandwich and had to send it back because it was way overcooked. It happens. No biggie. They came out with another and the same thing. It was horrible. I didn't and couldn't eat it. I told the server again how bad it was and she was apologetic but still had to pay for it. I didn't say anything but will never go back! I never should have paid for it. If they had just taken the inedible SECOND sandwich off the bill, I would not be writing this review but they didn't! Shame on them! read more

Loved this for brunch with friends! Definitely add yourself onto the waitlist because the line does get long on the weekends. Very cute diner vibe with a pretty extensive menu! Definitely will be coming back as prices were pretty good too! Right in legacy place so tons of parking. Quick service even with the place being filled! (Also the little syrup bottle is just too cute) read more

The food was really good. The bread was very warm and flaky and melted in my mouth. The chicken also was well seasoned and was pretty tender. However the coffee was terrible and tasted like pure maple syrup. Also the service was pretty meh and it felt scrambled. When they brought out all the food they forgot some things like the coffee and fruit and wouldn't have brought it out if we told them. Also the waiter who brought our food couldn't even find our table and ended up walking back in the kitchen for a bit to get help. The food was still pretty good and would come again as the service was not too bad. read more

Friendly Toast is my go to for brunch places around the area. They have a diverse menu that changes frequently with greats meals and drinks. Also the music here is always the vibe. The Chicken cordon bleu benny is one of my favorites to get. The Harvard square drink is sweet and definitely got my tipsy. The mimosas flight is perfect for those who want to try new drinks. The Snap Crackle Cluck was crispy and well seasoned. However the bread did come soggy. Overall I always have a good experience when I come. read more

Friendly Toast is always a great choice for brunch. With that said, there's always a wait so get yourself on the Yelp waitlist even before you go. I ordered the watermelon mocktail and was a little disappointed as the watermelon flavor was too mild. The breakfast tacos were delicious and a good deal for 3 of them. read more

Honestly, I've had better, its overpriced and the portions are small. Id much rather stick with my local diner. There was nothing bad about the food or service, but this place is just so hyped up I was expecting a lot better. read more

Where to begin?!?! The food was outstanding! Tried the hash brown cups (Hash Quiche), the corned beef hash (which was 90% corned beef yum) and then hubby got New Hampshire Scramble. Everything was perfectly cooked. Had to get the Boozy Coffee Flight. Horchata was my fav. The service was the best part. Like everyone is just a vibe. It was early, so I don't know how they are so happy. we will be back! read more

This may be the only gluten-free and celiac friendly restaurant I've been to that has a breakfast coffee flight! While my family was visiting from out of town, my boyfriend and I brought them to The Friendly Toast in Legacy place which had amazing holiday options. They are knowledgeable and friendly (no pun intended) regarding allergies and Celiac disease. I felt completely safe eating here and didn't have any issues arise in the time afterwards. Keep in mind, however, that if you have celiac disease - you cannot get their french toast because the batter is gluten cross contaminated (which they will let you know about every time!) read more

Who knew that a hamburger bun could be so versatile. In our meal it was both a brioche bun and a French-toasted croissant. Had such high hopes for this place when we walked it. The decor and ambiance is full nostalgia, I was tempted to look up where I could get my own parrot lamp that I saw hanging above the bar. The service was very good too, everyone was very friendly. The food, well that just fell short. I ordered the Gochujang friend chicken sandwich because I thought it had a very interesting flavor combination. Apparently my Los Angeles expectations was too much for this meal option. The creamy Asian slaw was honestly just thousand island coleslaw. My boyfriend ordered the Monte Madame, which I'm glad I didn't get too. That was hard to eat. It was sugary, the items in it just didn't go together, and I'm sorry to say, a hamburger bun is not the same as a croissant. This place was popular, so maybe we just ordered the wrong things at The Friendly Hamburger Bun. read more

Underwhelmed would be putting it mildly. Our food was served look warm - home fries were undercooked and had to be sent back to be corrected. So we received home fries when we were done with our breakfast. In the beginning, the friendly toast was fairly impressive but today I definitely got a chain restaurant vibe pretty disappointing. read more

A solid brunch spot to meet friends. The interior is very fun and trendy. Food is solid and they have a good menu that's very food allergy friendly which is good. I ordered the chicken and waffles which are on the savory side. It's tasty but could use either more sauce or something as it's a little dry. Next time I'd ask for syrup. The spiked coffee flight was fun to split amongst friends. I only had the mocha one which was good but so strong I almost couldn't finish it oops. Overall not my fav food ever but convenient for friend meet ups and a solid meal. read more

Food and service are terrific. They offer some creative and delicious menu options, although they have standard breakfast items too. Every server we've had has been super attentive. The only drawback is that they require booster seats instead of high chairs and our little one is really better off in a high chair - but he'll grow into the booster eventually! read more

We had breakfast there today. Apparently a cooked walked out so it took us a long time to get our food. They were so apologetic and ended up comping our meal and giving us gift card for a future visit! We didn't have to fight. They were awesome and when our meal did come out it was fantastic!! We will definitely go back! read more

This is literally the best breakfast place I've ever been to! From the minute you walk in and are greeted by smiling, welcoming hostesses, you feel like you're in for a treat. I sat at the counter and had the pleasure of talking to the two super friendly bartenders who helped me with ordering and explained a lot of the menu. Visually, the place is stunning, with a retro theme and fun art pieces all over. Then the food came and I was absolutely in heaven. I had the jalapeño/cheddar biscuits that were out of this world. They came piping hot with a delicious sausage gravy, apricot jam, and a hot honey butter. For my main breakfast plate I ordered the eggs, hash brown potatoes, and thick cut brioche toast (that comes with a small personal Vermont Maple syrup on the side) and it was all wonderful. The thick cut bacon and pork sausage were uncommonly delicious. Not only was the food amazing but the prices were reasonable. I can't wait to come back. Thank you all! read more

The friendly toast is an eclectic brunch chain in Massachusetts. This location is in Dedham, MA next to the Costco and Whole Foods in the Legacy Place Plaza. We came in on a Sunday and the wait time was 20 minutes around 11am. It was a little busy so we had to flag down our waiters a few times but the owner was walking around making sure that we had a good experience. The environment and diverse menu is what makes this place special. There's a lot of fun and quirky decorations all around the restaurant and the branding/theme is evident throughout their food and drink menu as well. The food was okay for the price. The avocado toast was seasoned well and had a good amount of toppings on the toast. The home fries were a little soggy and the turkey sausage seemed like it was a frozen patty. The cookie butter was just whipped butter with oreos mixed - not worth the extra dollar. The highway strawberry, on the other hand, is 2 chocolate covered french toasts with strawberries on top. It tasted pretty good covered in maple syrup. Overall, I'd rate the food as average because of the taste and presentation, but the overall experience was fun because of the ambiance. I'd recommend this place for a casual brunch or group hangout at least once when in Massachusetts. read more

Such a cool retro hip vibe in this culinary forward place! Everything on the menu sounded delicious, it was hard to chose! Loved the appetizer sampler! The tots were moist, crunchy and full of flavor! The sauce was creamy, cheesy, and perfection! The cinnamon bread churro bites were sweet deliciousness and the breakfast egg rolls tasted like a crisp deviled egg. I got the chicken cordon bleu Bennie. Super yummy smoked ham, cheddar and the poached egg was done perfectly!! The sauce was tangy, mildly spicy and excellent! Can't say enough how really tasty this was!! The hash quiche potato hash brown bowels was creative-crispy and bright!! Really yummy! I had the mimosa flight and have to say they were all perfection! Sweet, hints of flavor, slightly tart and beautifully presented! The raspberry (flower in it) was my absolute fav! My friend had the Bloody Mary flight: the pickle one being the star of the flight! The maple bacon was too sweet....it really didn't marry the flavors very well but I could see how someone might like it. We enjoyed our pre-new years eve celebration at the Friendly toast! Oh and the staff were really really super friendly! Love the smiles! read more

The brunch at The Friendly Toast was delicious! I enjoyed the omelet and sourdough bread. I wasn't a fan of the potatoes, it was a little too spicy for me. I have a very low spice tolerance, but my friend also ordered the potatoes and thought they had some heat on them. I loved the mimosa flight! All the flavors were delicious.
