Toast Downey - Steak burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Downey, California

Toast has been on my list of places to check out for a couple of years, and a friend put it back on my radar back in April. Just a couple of weeks ago, my friends and I were considering our options for where to have brunch to celebrate one of our friend's retirement. Toast was one of the names I dropped in the metaphorical hat, and it won the vote of a few. My friends were surprised that I had named a spot I hadn't yet tried since I'm usually the "foodie" of the group. However, another girl in the group who had been here before vouched for it. I'm glad I finally got to try this place this past weekend, and I cannot wait to return! There were so many things on their menu that I wanted to try. A couple of the ladies ordered green chilaquiles, the friend we were celebrating ordered the Spanish Omelet, another woman I'd met that day had the bacon and eggs, another one ordered the Biscuits and grave with a side of bacon that looked perfectly crispy. I wish I had taken pictures of the plates as it all looked so lovely! I didn't even take a picture of my own food haha. I had my eyes on an omelet, one of the Benedicts or the Chicken n Waffle. In the end, the chicken and waffle won. It comes served with a little container of maple syrup with bacon pieces. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The waffle was delicious, though I did request for some extra syrup on the side. To drink, a few ladies ordered mimosas, one ordered an iced caramel coffee, and I ordered the Carajillo. I fell in love with this drink last summer in Mexico and do not often see it on the menu. I love the subtle citrus notes the Licor 43 adds to this espresso drink. It is very similar to an espresso martini, and theirs comes topped with a toasted marshmallow. I honestly wanted to try almost every item in their Tipsy Barista section of their drinks. I'll just have to come back that many more times :) Plenty of parking in the mall lot. It does get pretty packed during peak hours. Fortunately I had called ahead to put our group of 6 down. We went in on Saturday around 11:30. It slowed down a bit while we were eating, but started to get busy again after 1. Otherwise, we might have been forced to honor their 90-minute rule. All in all, a great experience from everyone in our group. No complaints on the wait, service or food. That certainly deserves a toast. Great job, Toast! read more

I was taken here for my birthday brunch, and it turned out to be a great choice! The atmosphere was amazing--lively, stylish, and perfect for celebrating a special occasion. I ordered the steak and eggs along with a margarita flight, and everything was fantastic. The food was delicious, the drinks were fun to try, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The only thing that caught me off guard was the price--it's definitely on the more expensive side. But if you have the budget and want to treat yourself to a nice brunch, I'd 100% recommend giving this place a try. Great food, great drinks, excellent service, and an awesome brunch atmosphere. Definitely made my birthday feel special! read more

Came in for the first time, it wasn't packed but the appetizers did take a bit to come out. The food and drinks were good but it was a bit odd that when we received the bill the tip was not printed on and the waiter wrote it in on the bottom and 18%. I have never seen this before which I didn't really like because I didn't see anything about a gratuity percentage for parties larger than 4 or 6. We still paid the bill in full including the tip but we still left unsure of it. Update: I was contacted by the owner and after the issue with the waiter adding his own tip, I was refunded that money back. Thank you for correcting this and hopefully it does not happen to others. We will definitely come again. read more

A great experience for my first time! It's definitely a vibe after 3pm. Dj played bangers. You can get the mic and karaoke. The tacos were sooo tasty and the drinks are great!!! Great service and friendly staff. The decor is pretty. There is enough seating inside and outside. Outdoor seating is covered and a bit more private. No reservation needed. Lots of parking since it's next to the mall. Payment is cash or card, no Apple Pay. I'm definitely going back! read more

Today was great day to come in for brunch! Not packed but a few diff parties were seated. 1st time here! So when we walked in I was super impressed with the quality of decor and quantity of seating! **just be careful of their swinging door- swings fast & both directions -DONT STAND TOO CLOSE ** We were seated almost immediately and then assisted by Carolina who was nice , eager and knowledgeable. We got YUMMY drinks , kinda reminiscent of Aguas frescas ! I recommend the cucumber lemonade!! Then we ordered our food also pictured! The French toast I got well done and it was so yummy like a hint of vanilla or something! The omelette was yummy fresh and perfect! Thanks to the chefs !! ** they have a large bar with tvs and drink specials (I saw all the fifa specials) - they also have outside seating and I can totally see them getting packed during games ** Thank you to everybody who brought our food and welcomed us in. It was very pleasant !! I'll def be back!! read more

Seems to be a popular place which means it can get busy and loud. The staff was kind but it was difficult to speak with the host when checking in for our reservations due to the noise level. The table was pleased with their food but I was not a fan of their hollandaise sauce, too much lemon in the sauce it overpowered the entire meal. The potatoes are great though! read more

Stopped in with my family for Sunday breakfast. The place was already busy, but we were seated right away. The service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a pleasing atmosphere. My husband and I both ordered the Nut-Bad Irish coffee. For food, he got the short rib enchiladas, I ordered the Barbacoa Benedict, and our son had the chicken tenders. The bite of his enchiladas I tried was good. The meat was tender and the sauce had good flavor. Unfortunately, my dish... had a long white wavy hair hanging over a side of the plate, when I pulled it, more of it was underneath the potatoes, which completely killed my appetite for the rest of the dish. I shouldn't be, but I get embarrassed to say anything, so I left that section of my potatoes aside. The benedict itself was okay, though the barbacoa was not dry, and the sauce gave it a good balance. The Nut-Bad Irish coffee was just alright. I found the nutmeg flavor way too overpowering with every sip, but my husband seemed to enjoy it more than I did. read more

Came here with a group of my gfs for my bday! Arrived right before 3pm for R&B brunch which was a blast. Great music, good vibes. They don't really want you up and dancing which is understandable but we managed. lol Good was a solid 7/10, they don't really offer brunch style food after 3 which is a bummer bc I really wanted to try their French toast and chilaquiles. Short rib pasta was mid 6/10 and burger was an average burger. I don't really come to places like this expecting the food to be 10/10 and I'm curious to know if the breakfast and brunch style food is better than the lunch/dinner options. Their unlimited mimosas are great but are time capped at 90 mins however our server made sure our bottle stayed full. Overall experience was an 8/10. Decent food, great vibes. read more

Good food at this place and the drinks were spot on. Pleasant servers and helpful hostess.

This was my first time at this establishment. We walked in and the place was packed and the DJ had a good vibe going on. We were seated. The host sat us down at a dirty table. I let that go. I asked the lady that was passing by could she clean the table and she did. Then our waiter came and his name was Juan. Not very friendly or helpful with the menu since this was our first time and it was more but I'm not going to elaborate on it. But when a friendlier waitress came by I asked her a question and she was so nice and outgoing. I asked could she be our waitress. Jessica was by far the best waitress there. Her amazing customer service is the reason why I will be back. Jessica went above and beyond the call of duty for all her tables. Jessica is the best. You should have Jessica train the waiter and waitress. I loved the DJ and the entire atmosphere ‼I will be spreading the news about Toast in Downey. read more

This place was really big and spacious, and I loved the overall vibe as soon as we walked in. When we were seated at our booth, the table was a little sticky, but we asked for a wipe down and they handled it right away with no issue. The menu was a bit intimidating at first (so many good options ), but I ended up going with the short rib enchiladas and they were pretty freaking good. Not a crumb left. My boyfriend got the short rib chilaquiles and he enjoyed his just as much. We also ordered the Flying Unicorn, which was super fun... it actually changes colors when you add the lemonade shot, so that was a cute little moment. It's definitely a great brunch spot, but the only downside was the wait for the check. We were completely done -- empty plates, just sitting there and still waiting for a while before it came. Aside from that, the experience was really good and I'd come back again! read more

I really enjoyed our brunch here. Reservations are a must and your party must be complete before they seat you. It can easily be located since its outside the mall. Parking is not an issue; you may have to walk a bit for its a busy mall. Food was good, menu was pretty much like your regular brunch spot. I had eggs benedict & it was perfect. I had their fried hash browns instead --- reminded me of piknik. it was really tasty. Convos were really intetesting & we were not asked to leave due to time which was really nice. It's not a big place and it can seat plenty. Good place to go for a weekend brunch. read more

I've been here several times with the girls for brunch, but this visit was for their Saturday R&B brunch with a DJ--and wow, it was packed! We arrived right at 3pm and were told there was a 1-1.5 hour wait, but we were seated sooner than expected, which was a nice surprise. The décor is upscale with darker tones, and there's seating inside and on the patio. You can hear the music throughout the restaurant, which really sets the vibe. Our server was great even with the high volume of guests. The food was good (I still prefer their breakfast menu), but the real star for me was the drinks--yesss, they were delicious! I would definitely come back, but next time I'll come early to be sure we get seated. There was a 90-minute time limit posted, but we weren't rushed at all. If you want good music, sing-along fun, and excellent drinks, Saturday brunch here is a great time with friends. read more

Drove in traffic to visit this location. Got there and there was no one at the front desk to seat us. We waited for 5 minutes. The bartender looks up at us but didn't say anything so I was unsure if it was a seat yourself situation or not. We ended up leaving after being completely unacknowledged. I agree with the one star reviews on poor service. Will not visit this location again. read more

Yelped a brunch spot near me and decided to give Toast Downey a try, and I'm glad I did! I love that you can check in through the Yelp app while you're on your way, so by the time you get there you don't have to wait as long. The atmosphere was really nice and the food was GREAT! Everyone was super friendly too from the people up front checking us in to our waiter. The service definitely made the experience even better. read more

A really good brunch spot ; would definitely come again . The place is really pretty and the decor gives girly brunch. I'll have to bring my friends on day. There was just a little hiccup with the waitlist they weren't going by the waitlist I signed up on and letting other people go . But they informed me at a somewhat reasonable time and said to just tell them my name next time so I can be seated. Could've avoided the 30 minute wait but all good. The food definitely makes up for it . I got chicken and waffles which was so flavor and cooked perfectly. And the entree came with a warm maple bourbon syrup soooo good. My boyfriend got the breakfast burrito and it was soooo hearty. I believe it had sausage and bacon inside ; everything was mixed well and the avocado salsa on the side as a nice kick . Our drinks were strong sweet and good . read more

Wow! From the food to the decor and ambience. We came for breakfast pretty early in the AM, around 9ish so it wasn't too busy yet. We ordered the simple breakfast, chilaquiles, and French toast. Everything was so good and service was 5/5. It's so cute inside and they have a patio for nice days. Music was good as well. I can definitely see it getting busy. Absolutely recommend if you're in the area! read more

I like this place because this is close to work and a lot of celebrations were held here with my colleagues! It's a huge place and there are tables for big parties. The service is really consistent as they would always check in with you during your dining. I've actually tried several items from the menu. My favorite is the the steak chimichurri. It's does not taste dry or your typical cheap steak you can get from diners. All servings is huge and kinda for sharing... well for me! Another new pick is this latest one I ordered! The egg benedict!! Their potatoes izzz always a go to!! I learned you can request to get a little more toasted and aaaah it's the best!!! If my order does not come with it, I always order one as a side. read more

Toast Downey - Egg benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Downey, California

I finally made it here for brunch as it has been on my list for a while. Came in on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. Was sat down fairly quickly and was able to out in a drink choice pretty quickly (shout out to Iztel). Menu is very diverse and gives you many options from chilaquiles to typical eggs n bacon. Lives the many options for drinks as well. Plenty of non-alcoholic and craft cocktail drinks. Orders are big and won't leave you hungry. I do think flavors fell a little short on the food but especially the chilaquiles. Cocktails weren't bad, especially the Carajillo. Overall the ambiance was fun and lively inside and would def come back. read more

I came for the music and loved the appetizers. I honestly came all the way from Riverside to try the R&B brunch it was a birthday request of mine. We had a reservation for 3 and it was a piece of cake. We did not have to wait. The moment we stepped inside the restaurant though Toast felt a touch chaotic, like a party of people who forgot their playlists! A lot of big groups were waiting, and I wondered if they didn't have reservations. Either way the energy was buzzing. But then the appetizers hit the table and oh my, they were fire. The artichoke dip had a sly hint of jalapeño spice that kept things exciting and delicious, and the Goat Cheese Tomato Crostini was a hit the bread was cheesy and the sauce paired perfectly with the cheese we had to order more bread. I'll be dreaming of this deliciousness for a long time. I ordered "under pressure" and went for the fried chicken sandwich it's so big you could share I only ate half. The ambiance is fun especially after sharing a flight of Mimosas!!! The room feels like a party where everyone's celebrating to the same R&B playlist I adore. The music sets the mood and the servers keep the beat going. My only con would be to skip desert our cake tasted like old store bought cake not worth the price and no one had more than 1 bite. But its ok I'll be back for some more R&B brunch! read more

The Yelp review nobody asked for... but you're getting anyway I've heard about this spot a few times and seen it floating around on IG and TikTok, so when I found out they do a reverse brunch -bottomless mimosas starting at 3PM with a DJ, I was already intrigued. Day party energy? Say less. My coworker and I popped in on a random Saturday. She put us on the virtual waitlist, and we were seated pretty quickly -- love that for us. We sat outside on the patio and the vibe was actually really nice. Good music, good energy! Now... the food. I ordered the classic pancakes with fruit and house potatoes (jalapeños & cheese), and my coworker got the avocado toast with hash brown chips (also with cheese and jalapeños -- clearly we had a theme going). The potatoes? Solid. No complaints there. But the pancakes... came out with no syrup. None. Not a drizzle, I was confused. Do I ask?? By the time our server circled back (which took a minute), I was already over it. The fruit also wasn't fresh, so both the pancakes and fruit ended up being a no for me. My coworker's meal? Let's just say... it was edible. Not exciting, not terrible -- just there. Now let's talk about what they got RIGHT: the drinks. I had a lemon drop with tequila (yes, tequila ) and a couple shots, and they did not disappoint. Strong, cute, and exactly what I needed to shift the experience. Also, shoutout to the manager -- he was actively checking on tables and ended up removing the items we didn't eat, which I really appreciated. That level of attentiveness goes a long way. Final thoughts: I wouldn't come back for the food, but for the drinks, music, and vibes? Absolutely. Just eat beforehand and come ready to sip and socialize. P.S. Plenty of parking (a blessing) and there's a strict 90-minute dining limit -- so pace yourself accordingly read more

Super cute place. I ordered the chile verde chilequiles and they were delicious. The tortillas are freshly fried. Not spicy. Very good. I'm not a fan of eggs and asked for no eggs however they don't do alternatives. I ordered decaf hot coffee. They only have cold brews and hot coffee. No vanilla lattes. Different flavor of cold brews though. Seating was fast before 10 am. I met with my girlfriends at 9 am and it was already getting busy but we were seated fast. Waitress was 10/10. She was so friendly. I'd come back for sure. read more

This place is definitely an upscale brunch place. Super cool interior and attached to Stonewood mall. They have plenty of seats and a big patio too. When you walk in there's a full bar and they even have mimosa specials Monday to Friday. Came for a birthday breakfast and it did not disappoint. Usually bunch spot skimp on the servings but these were HUGE. I ordered the biggest bowl of chilaquiles I've ever had. The flavor was good. Only missing was more meat but still fire. My wife ordered The chorizo omelette which was good too and our server was super quick and friendly. I for sure want to come back and try all the cocktails and brunch drinks they have next time read more

Food (4/5): This Mexican-American restaurant brings the flavor and the size to each dish. Their steak burrito was absolutely yummy! The steak was tender, well seasoned, and the filling made my mouth water. My favorite sauce was their chipotle mayo that tied everything together. My partner had the steak chilaquiles and he felt the chips were too soft but he ate every bit of the steak. Ambiance (4/5): Such beautiful decor! The vibes in here are giving grown millennial rocking to 2000s and 2010s R&B. The area itself is very spacious but near the window is unbearable! I was pretty squished and the sun from the outside was burning up my party. Service (5/5): Our server was awesome! She was very attentive and gave us what we needed with urgency. Price (4/5): i have to admit, she is pricey for gargantuan and delicious food but I found it worth it for my dish. I spent $22 for my steak burrito and took the other half home. The steak chilaquiles is priced at a whopping $39 read more

We came here for a weekend breakfast. This is my first visit. The decor looks very casual and I love they have a bar that brings some exciting vibe for a quiet morning. The server was attentive, he brought us to our table. It took us awhile and decide what to order as the menu is filled with amazing choices. I ordered the Denver omelette, my daughter has the avocado toast with eggs and beacon. To share with the table, we ordered the churro French toast. Everything tasted so good, portion was generous.

We checked out Toast Kitchen & Bar in Downey for Sunday brunch with friends. I made the reservation through Yelp and even had to reach out via Instagram to adjust our party size, both platforms were easy, and the staff was very accommodating. This spot has a reputation online for brunch with DJs spinning hip-hop and R&B classics, and that's exactly what we got. The patio was packed, music was loud, and the energy was high. Even though our booth was inside in the corner, it was still buzzing. Definitely not a quiet brunch atmosphere, but it works if you're in the mood for a lively scene. Our server, Yetla, took great care of us. We started with drinks: jalapeño cucumber margarita, strawberry peach specialty margarita, cantarito, espresso martini, and a hibiscus margarita. I especially liked the espresso martini, it hit the right balance of smooth and strong. For food, Miori had the bacon avocado eggs benedict, Kai went for chicken and waffles, and I had the chorizo burger with country potatoes. Everything came out fresh and flavorful. Overall, this is the place if you're looking for a brunch spot with a party vibe--expect loud music and an energetic crowd. Parking is easy thanks to the large lot connected to the mall. I'd come back to try more of their specialty drinks and other entrées. read more

I loved coming here during the week because it's not as loud during the weekend. I ordered the sliders and I definitely recommend this dish. We had a party of 10 and we were seated to the right in the aisle, so it felt a little tight next to the booths but people could still walk by. Overall a great experience. Everyone loved their dishes and drinks. Service was meh. Maybe because gratuity is already included for a large group? Not sure. FYI, they have a fee per person if you bring a cake to cut there. Silliest thing I've ever heard and nowhere else have we had this issue. Makes no sense! read more
