    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing due to the service. Our waitress was inattentive and slow throughout the meal. When we asked for a refill on our child's drink, she informed us there would be an additional charge, which was completely fine with us. However, she repeatedly emphasized the extra charge several times, and the way it was communicated felt rude and came across as though she was assuming we couldn't afford it. A simple explanation of the policy would have been sufficient. Good customer service includes treating guests with respect, and unfortunately that was not our experience during this visit.

    Breakfast burrito with a side Caesar salad
    Kim T.

    Everyone enjoyed their food. I had the breakfast burrito, it was so filling. I was only able to finish half because I had to finish my salad. That Caesar salad was delicious, the lettuce was fresh but the dressing was the real star of the show. I can't put hand on why their dressing tasted different from most Caesar dressings but it was bomb, I think it had a lil hint of lemon in it. We went on a week day so it wasn't busy but I think they were short staffed because it did take a little while for them to come over to us and take our order, but our waiter was cool. I want to go back and try the pancakes, they looked good.

    Gabby and Robert were amazing ! Spent a random Thursday afternoon with a couple of friends and we couldn't have had a better experience anywhere else , they were super quick and made us feel right at home definitely recommend coming to Toast especially for the bottomless mimosas and happy hour!

    Chicken and waffles
    Donisha B.

    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 .

    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!

    Pancakes with strawberry and whip cream

    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

    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!

    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.

This place instantly became one of my favorites after just one visit. From the moment you walk in, the whole vibe hits you--the moody, neon-lit ambiance sets the tone perfectly. It feels elevated, a little edgy, and honestly just the kind of spot you want to spend your night at. The music is curated so well. Not too loud, not too mellow--just the right balance where you can vibe, have a conversation, and still feel the energy of the room. You can tell they actually care about the experience, not just throwing a playlist together. Now let's talk about the drinks... because that's really where they shine. Every cocktail feels intentional and crafted with care. You can taste the quality immediately--nothing watered down, nothing basic. They have a really cool mix of classic cocktails and modern twists, and even the familiar drinks feel elevated. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every round because you trust the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Service was on point too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain drinks and made great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. I came in not knowing what to expect, and left already planning my next visit. If you're in Uptown Whittier and looking for a spot with great energy, amazing cocktails, and a full vibe--The Vandalist is it. Thank me later

There are about 6 talented bartenders who work the bar and each of them bring a unique portfolio to mixology. Let's get back to Amanda! One of my friends who was visiting from Hawaii found Amanda on social media and asked that I take her to Kuduowl to experience this unique mixology. We were greeted warmly by Amanda and she explained the concept of the bar and the drink options. All were absolutely beautifully crafted and served! Delicious! I had a drink a few years ago (Sloe Gin Ramos) and not many bartenders know how to make it, nor do they want to take the time to make it. Amanda and Chris jumped right in and made it (takes 10-15 minutes to make). It was delicious and the preparation was a show! Loved it. All bartenders, servers, and bar backs were working in unison, like an orchestra. You could tell they all enjoyed their jobs and coworkers! It made for a beautiful ambiance. The bar welcomes everyone - from old to young, from gay to straight, and a rainbow of diversity of ethnic backgrounds! This has to be my favorite bar in Southern California! Bravo Amanda & team!
