Can never go wrong with breakfast or brunch at Toast. Had a passion fruit mimosa and cappuccino to start then had a savory crepe for crepe week and bacon fried rice. The savory crepe had cured thinly sliced ham with a bechamel sauce and gruyere cheese. It was delicious and the fried rice was very good if you like a smoke flavor. Never leave let down! read more

Consistently great brunch and probably the best in Detroit. Breads are to die for and all of the sweeter dishes really hit the mark. Savory options also hit the mark: nothing is overly greasy but still very flavorful. Patio is also a standout. Gazebo on the street offers plenty of shade but you won't get sunburned on tables on the sidewalk, either. read more

This is a good place to go to for business breakfast as well as with family and friends for a casual meal. I came here with a colleague for a breakfast meeting and we were promptly seated in a separate room, away from the main dining area which made for a quieter atmosphere. The food was also pretty good. I had the avocado toast with balsamic drizzle and a poached egg on the side-a very simple breakfast nicely prepared. My colleague had the Toast Hash which he said was excellent and from what I saw, generous in portion. Their menus have a wide variety of drinks and dishes all of which look tempting. I really like the fact that they offer french press coffee at your table - the pot is enough for two people and more importantly the coffee tastes great. Service was equally matched by the food-very good. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and quick to notice if we needed anything before we even asked! They offer lunch and dinner as well so I'll have to come back and try those menus as well. read more

We were enjoying a nice Sunday after Church, and Prom. My Girlfriend and I were here for brunch and thought we would eat together like normally. They redid our eggs but we couldn't eat together, so they didn't discount our bill. When we asked them for a discount they took 4 dollars of the 40 dollar bill. They should have taken the eggs off atleast. read more

After eating countless times at Toast, it's about time to give it a Yelp. Probably my favorite breakfast spot, whether I choose the Birmingham location or the old site on Woodward in Ferndale. Phenomenal selection of breakfast options. You can go light, and just order a muffin and coffee, but why would you want to? Go big, or go another day. You won't be sorry. read more

We had great service and well-presented tasty food!! The mocha latte i got was perfect too!!! I will be returning soon. We ordered vegetarian brunch. I had the mushroom omelet with a side of veggie sausage. The sausage was really flavorful and paired well with the omelette. read more

My oh my is this scenery so different compared to Ferndale's Toast. Was out with two friends, they wanted to eat somewhere in Birmingham. We decided here. Kind of pricey but my tab was taken care of. Hehe. We got the cheese board and I liked it. It was okay. I really enjoyed one or maybe two cheeses out of the bunch and I am a cheese lover. But I'm not mad. Not mad. It's probably expensive stuff. Loved the candied pecans it came with. Munched on that the entire time tbh. I shared the steak frites, it was meh but good because they burnt the steak a bit so the char was overpowering. The chicken and waffles I heard was delicious though, from my friend. Overall, food is delicious. Waitress was great. I would come back if I do not mind splurging a bit. Beautiful place though. I keep tripping on that carpet at the entrance though. read more

This is a great spot for brunch. I love their avocado toast. The ambiance is unique and very welcoming.

Had a great experience post-Covid-opening! They have tables outside in two separate areas. We ate inside, however. There were two of us. I had some banana-flavored cold brew coffee that was simply out of this world! My friend also really enjoyed her latte. She ordered the salmon eggs Benedict which was beautiful and delicious. I had a special which was an Impossible Burger on a croissant with avocado, tomato and I don't know what, but it was good! See photos). So happy to see that they have re-opened in Birmingham! read more

Overcrowded during peak times and just okay wait staff. I'm admittedly I'm not a big breakfast eater; maybe that's why I give a maybe. The original Toast in Ferndale has a bit of a retro-grunge feel, so I like the ambiance better. Feels more authentic to its roots. I also think Toast, like Townhouse Bistro across the street, bring in a lot of out-of-town patrons. read more

I want to start by saying I love Toast and come often for breakfast. Typically I get the granola w/yogurt or the Belgium waffle. The granola was stale and almost had a rancid taste to it. I sent it back and had the challah toast which was delicious ( they forgot to bring butter). So waited for the butter and moved on. The bill came and we were charged $4.50/each tea. Literally a small pot of hot water (lid didn't even close right) and one teabag. Mint tea and chamomile tea - most basic supermarkets sell these. I will try one more time and that might be my last. read more

Met up for late breakfast at this place. Outstanding ambiance. Cozy feel. Food - great selection of breakfast items. Standard fare and then some but they do have their special touch which makes the difference. Had a wild mushroom omelette. It had truffle flavor and it was unique. read more

Came here for a quick bite with my sister! Was looking for healthy options and was far from disappointed!! We ordered the Ivy Frances: cauliflower couscous, parsley, roasted tomatoes, red onion, chick peas, cucumber, olives, capers, almonds, & lemon Dijon. We also ordered the Mediterranean Chopped: artisan lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, cucumber, feta, kalamata, red onions, pine nuts, medjool dates, beets , & a red wine vinaigrette. ....Although, the "not so healthy" options definitely were hard to resist too! I'll def be back to try more items! read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant while walking in downtown Birmingham. We stopped on a Sunday and it was definitely worth the wait! Such a cute town to walk and pass the time away. The menu is great and there's something for everyone. I got the curious George cold brew, which was a banana flavored cold brew topped with whipped cream and candied pecans and the bacon fried rice with added shrimp. Not your typical breakfast combo but it was delicious! Would definitely get it again. read more

Love Love Love the bacon fried rice!!! Everything was delicious and the mimosas were perfect. read more

Don't get me wrong, the food was decent, but at the end of the day, it's diner food situated in downtown Birmingham, which naturally lends itself to being overpriced and overcrowded. The atmosphere is interesting, it's standard red brick on the outside, but looks like a vintage/kitchy home on the inside with the patterned wallpaper and garage sale looking decor. The tables are set up pretty close together, so if you're seated in the half booth/half chair section, you feel like you're sitting on top of each other and listening in on your neighbor's conversations. Especially during these "unprecedented times" you'd think they'd give that set up a second thought. Nothing on the caffeine/drink menu is under $5. Pro-tip: order the french press ($7), it's perfect to split for two people without spending like $12+ on regular coffee lol. We got the "banana flavor", which was unique and fun! (Obviously don't order it if you don't like bananas, but it was subtle while still being recognizable.) We ordered the toast hash and chicken and waffles. I mean, it was decadent and delicious, but add melted cheese/corn beef or gravy to any breakfast item and I'm pretty much sold. We got the bacon fried rice as a side and have to say... it's overrated. But maybe because I know how to make fried rice so it's nothing special to me. All in all, I feel meh. Like I would never be opposed to going but it's not necessarily a "must try" experience. read more

I really wanted to love this place and give it an excellent review, but I found egg shells with my poached eggs on my benny and one of the two poached eggs weren't runny... to add to that, the server didn't even offer to replace my dish and simply told me she'd let the chef know of the egg shells.. I think the service is definitely disappointing and seemed awfully rushed let alone the quality of food being delivered. That all aside, the bacon fried rice was lovely, the decor is pretty unique, and there is an impressive selection of drinks! I came on a Saturday morning and the wait was 20-30minutes which passed fairly quickly with many shops down the road to explore. You're automatically put on the yelp waitlist when you put down your name and number with the server up front, and they text you once you have one more party ahead of you - only downside is they only give you five minutes to rush to the restaurant. I heard a party get pushed back in line because they were a bit late... Recommended: - Bacon Fried Rice (jasmine rice, bacon, sunny-side up egg, avocado, picked vegetables, onion strings, spinach): this is truly an award winning dish! Not your typical greasy fried rice from an Asian take away store, but flavorful and delicious! You can also get it as a side when you get the eggs benny! We also got: - Nova Scotia (poached eggs, smoked salmon, spinach, heirloom tomato, choice of biscuit or English muffin, dill hollandaise, balsamic drizzle comes with home fries, bacon fried rice or grits): I got the English muffin which was nice and fluffy, and the bacon fried rice as the side. The Benny's overall taste wasn't bad at all, but finding the egg shells as well as the one poached egg that wasn't runny really didn't add to the experience. - I also got the coffee for 3.75, which wasn't bad but I feel is overpriced.. Anyhow, I recommend everyone check this place out if you haven't and I really hope you have a good experience there! I may come back again to try something else or fingers crossed I don't find egg shells in my food & the poached eggs are runny! read more

Always a good time at toast. Just like the name they're brunches are amazing. Always a solid for a cute and place for brunch but it does lack the wow factor. Of everything I did really enjoy the chicken and waffles. It was a good amount of food and the chicken was juicy and moist on the inside and crispy on the outside with Ana amazing sides of gravy! Good enough to be a creamy soup for sure! One of my favorites for sure! Their Omelets are also a safe bet. The fried green tomatoes and the avacado toast apps were delicious! It was my first time ever having fried green tomatoes and it was crunchy and tastes like zucchini chips and super tasty with the right amount of breading and sprinkled cheese One of my favorite drinks is the campfire hot chocolate! Not only is it super cute with teddy grahams and marshmallows floating around, it is also not over poweringly sweet and just right and makes you feel warm and fluffy inside. Their juices are good too - I had the one with elderberry in it which was pretty good as well. read more

The food was decent but definitely pricey compared to other places with similar quality. The vibe of the place was very unique and old fashioned while still being trendy. Overall great experience, staff was always willing to answer questions and help! I would recommend but it can definitely be a pricey breakfast/brunch meal! read more

Bella DiMercurio is the best hostess in Birmingham! She is polite, friendly, and does everything with a smile. I observed the way she interacted with customers as well as staff, and she is kind, patient and is excellent at her job! I hope that she gets the recognition that she deserves from doing an impeccable job! Our server Liliana did not disappoint, she was able to accommodate my dietary restrictions and offer reassurance that it happens often. She was efficient, friendly and polite. read more

Toast has always been one of the trendy, hipster spots in Birmingham. It's the absolute best place to get Brunch especially when leaving a good workout. My mom and I stopped by after a brief hiatus (we had been exploring different types of cuisine). I was sad that my phone had died because through the Yelp App, you're able to get on the waitlist for avoid the wait...and there's always a wait on Saturday mornings. If you're lucky, you can find a spot at the bar which can help get you in and out faster. Since my phone wasn't in service we just got on the waitlist after arriving. The wait was able 20 minutes. My had her usual, the Bacon Fried Rice while I had the new French toast (which boasts yogurt, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries) along with a side of bacon. We both decided to try the non-spike Apple Cider drink which was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back very soon! Pro-Tip: the meters on the street only allow for 1 hour parking. I recommend going to the parking structure. Parking is free for the first two hours read more

I had high expectations for this place because it is so hyped up. I thought it was good- great service, food came out fast. I had never had a Dutch baby pancake but now that I have, I'd prefer regular pancakes. I usually ask for my omelette to be cooked with minimal oil/butter but I didnt and it was very oily. My fault for not asking! My boyfriends meal was great! We were seated in a booth but it is set up so that you are very close to the people next to you- not very romantic lol I'm just not used to that. Overall good but not the best brunch I've ever had. I would go again and try other things. read more

Let's start with the basics What I ordered 2 omelettes: 1-egg white with bacon, cheese, and green peppers 1- egg, arugula, cheese, bacon, onions, green peppers 2 cups of coffee with cream and sugar So let's go with the coffee: they gave me some creamers and sugar. My mother and I go to pour the cream in the coffee and it curdles up. We look at the date on the little packages and they expired 12/20/2020. Wow that's cool. So I go back inside and the give me two cups fresh and then go in the back to look for cream... 8 min later all their cream is expired and they don't have any. WOWWW you had 3 employees sitting at the bar area and you don't think that employees should be checking to see if their stock is not expired ??? So if the cream is expired WHAT ELSE IS? 2- they messed up my omelette order TWICE. I got so annoyed at this. HOW DO YOU SCREW UP OMELETTES? I called back and they said they would remake it. No thanks, at this point it's been an hour I'm done. So the lady offers a gift card. What the fuck am I going to do with a gift card?????? So I can give them more of my hard earned money and get trash food back???? NO FUCKING THANK YOU read more

I was practically dying of hunger so I and my friend Seth popped in. I got my regular order avocado toast with balsamic vinegar on it. My friend Seth, he got the regular Scott Salmon and wow.. there are no words. A classic fish dish. There's about a million options available between the menu board and wall full of specials, so it can get a little overwhelming, but you really can't go wrong.Not much else to say besides go see for yourself. You won't be disappointed ! I guarantee Katie was a excellent waitress read more

Went to Toast on a Saturday afternoon & only had to wait a few minutes, which was great compared to the first time I tried to go for Sunday brunch & the wait was about 45 mins for 2 people. There aren't as many food options as we expected but we were all able to find something good. Their coffee was great. We had the banana flavored coffee as well as the iced almond milk latte. I ordered an omelet, which was very filling and a nice size. Their homestyle potatoes complimented it very well. My boyfriend ordered the trashy hashy, which he enjoyed but it did become somewhat soupy after a while due to the runny egg. The french toast was like your average french toast. Their alcoholic drinks were delicious but overpriced (it is Birmingham). Overall, it's a good place to go for brunch. read more

Stopped here for a birthday brunch! Hostess was friendly, waiter not so much. Right now they're automatically adding a 20% gratuity, so not sure if she used that as an excuse.

Never had a bad experience! The trashy hashy is my fav! I asked for drink recommendations and loved all of the suggestions.

Overrated. Paid 20 bucks for a hard grilled cheese with mediocre service and mandatory 20% tip.

From Toast's quirky, cozy decor and mismatched coffee mugs to the friendly waitstaff and comfort food-inspired dishes, Toast will give you that warm, fuzzy feeling of being at your Crazy (Insert Family Member Name)'s house. In the past eight years of brunching at Toast, I have never left disappointed...Or hungry. The portions are hearty, often paired with breakfast potatoes or cheesy grits. Trust me, get the grits! There is a broad range of breakfast offerings from sweet dishes to omelets. On my most recent visit, it seemed to me that the menu has been trimmed of some of the offerings (do not quote me on this, though) - - Not to despair, though, since everything they do, they do exceptionally well! They also have fantastic brunch cocktails to kick your hangover, as well as delicious brews from the barista. Overall, one of my favorite stops in Birmingham. Be prepared to wait for a table on the weekends, though, since I am not the only fan of Toast. read more

The food is always amazing. The prices are fair, about $20 per person with tip (depending on your appetite). The staff is always helpful and super friendly. Parking is street parking and you have to pay. Be ready to hunt for a parking spot and walk to the restaurant. If you've never been you have to go, they also have a Ferndale location that is equally amazing but 1/2 the size and no liquor license (at least it didn't the last time I was there). Birmingham has a liquor license. Awesome date place. read more

Wow, just wow! 5 star across the board. Cool vibe/decor, fast and super friendly service and of course the important thing AMAZING FOOD!! I was seated right away and had a cup of joe within seconds. Friendly waitress revised all the highlights of their wonderful menu. I went with the chicken and waffles Benedict which delivered on every level. Portion size was perfect. Chicken was crispy outside and tender in, knife cut through it with ease. The sweet flaky waffle cushioned the chicken and the perfectly poached eggs which were topped with a delicious gravy with chunks of sausage. The other pleasant surprise was their home fries which were topped with onions, peppers and some shredded cheese - they were outstanding!! I cannot wait to be here on business again so I can come back!!! So I couldn't wait and came back for dinner on the same day! Dinner was great and the big plus was Wind Down Wednesday = half price on wine!!!!!! Same as breakfast, service and food were superb. Recommend the Mac n cheese, fish tacos and chicken n waffles which were monster sized!!! I have a new favorite place!!! read more

Came here for a Sweetest Day brunch and I'm glad I did. The wait was a little discouraging but they managed to sit us fairly quickly. My top pics: B-Street French Toast, Chicken and Waffles Benny, Cheese Grits I ordered the Trashy Hashy, B-Street French Toast, Chicken and Waffles Benny with a side of grits and Bacon Fried rice. The trashy hashy was good but it's something I can throw together on my own hence the name trashy. It would've been better if the hash was more crispy. It had no texture. It felt like an endless bowl of sogginess. The B-Street French Toast is probably the best French Toast I've ever had. It is very sweet. I do think it should be toned down just a little. Its like a buttery banana bread with maple syrup and caramelized bananas. Oh you just have to get it. The grits are the bomb. I grew up eating grits and TOAST can make grits! Grits can be very easily messed up. They nailed it. They were smooth and creamy not all crunchy. The Chicken and Waffle Benny is a must get. It was flavorful and juicy. The hot juice actually burnt my tongue a bit but that's okay because I appreciate hot food. Everything was executed well with this dish. I would get it again and again. Definitely would recommend TOAST for brunch. read more
