Toast - Vegan scramble with potatoes (not greasy at all). Their jams are yummy too. And the service is fast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

We got mimosas and a michelada, all 3 were delicious. Tasted like fresh chamoy. The corned beef hash was super fresh and not oily or greasy! Chicken and waffles were bomb, easily the best waffle I've had in a long time. Sourdough was actually real! Jam selection was fire. Go here!! Staff is efficient and friendly. read more

Ordered pick up this past Saturday and they completely messed up my order. I called and left a message and reviewed the order on their website to place the order and have heard nothing. I'd recommend this place normally, it's usually solid. But I have been disappointed recently. read more

Our waitress was wonderful. The food looks beautiful and for the most part looks beautiful BUT "avocado" toast barely had enough avocado to stain the toast green-not enough to call a schmeer, not a bit of avocado taste. Steer away from it if you're really wanting avocado enough to taste. Also-coffee...they have new wait staff that apparently isn't in the know-denied there was any added flavoring in it. Not good for business if the wait staff is gaslighting customers. Banana coffee was yesterday's flavor apparently and I was able to get plain black coffee from our great waitress. Nice covered patio area for the long wait but the lack of avocado on avocado toast and the gaslighting waiter turned me off. read more

I have been trying to get a table at Toast for the better part of two years. There is always a line and we just aren't very patient with breakfast. Finally we drive by on a Sunday and see no line so we took a chance. They sat us immediately The eggs Benedict was phenomenal (even took half home) I can not speak high enough of this dish. Alana was an absolute joy and made our dining experience sooo great. Made us question why we hadn't just waited on our previous tries. Their coffee is served in these big homey coffee mugs ( I greatly appreciate that) I am so happy we finally got in, I loved our experience read more

Toast - Curious George Coffee Toast Benny - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Always wanted to to visit Toast but never had the chance due to difficult parking and long lines. Have to say it's worth the wait though. Got the Bacon grilled cheese and it's perfectly made. Lots of cheese and very filling. Bread is buttery and crispy. Pairs well with the tomato soup. Bacon fried rice was also good but didn't amaze me. Friend got their BLT with truffle fries and both were 10/10. Also like their kids menu, well designed for kids with good portion and reasonable pricing. FYI they charge 20% tip for dine in and 10% for carry out. read more

Who doesn't love brunch? Well actually...I don't. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, I'm all for it. Brunch? It throws menu entire schedule off. I simply don't get it, don't judge me! But Toast has me intrigued. Gourmet omelets, elevated French toasts, bacon fried rice, hash, and even huevo rancheros. If this were what a typical brunch menu looked liked, I'd be a believer. Did I mention chicken and waffles?! An excellent menu if I ever saw one. Toast is vibrant is and full of energy. An eccentric space full of lively art and decor. The service is attentive, that's if you can get a table of course. As many options lie in front of me, I never pass on chicken and waffles. It's honestly a weakness. If I were being interrogated, I'd probably spill the beans if they walked in with chicken and waffles. I seriously have to work on that lol. The dish comes with a side, bacon fried rice in my case, which is apparently one of the favorites at Toast. As much as I wanted to fall head over heals, it was all simply ok. The rice falls short in flavor. Although nicely breaded, a deboned chicken breast is not the ideal option to pair with a waffle. Removing the bone saps the chicken of a ton of flavor, while the breast is also the driest cut. The waffles however, did not disappoint! Big, Fluffy, soft, and full of malty goodness. This is Clearly the star of the dish. All in all, a good experience. 3.5, rounding up. Even though I didn't enjoy my meal as much as I would have liked to, there are way too many creative and delicious sounding menu items to not give Toast another go. read more

Excellent service! Thank you to Scott for taking such great care of us today! He was very kind and attentive. Very fun, retro/vintage style restaurant. Broad menu and vegetarian options too. This is a popular place so expect a wait on the weekends. We waited in our car and were sent a text when our table was ready. I loved the Huevos Rancheros and I added chorizo. Fabulous flavors. I had the Curious George coffee (banana coffee with whipped cream). There is a small parking lot behind the restarting and plenty of free street parking in side streets. Cool vibe and great experience. I will be back. read more

Toast - Huevos rancheros +extra egg - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Sunday brunch with my girlfriend's was delicious! There were so many items on the menu that sounded good, we'll definitely be trying something new next time. It was well worth the 45 min. wait. I'm writing the review, but the some of it is based on their comments while we were eating Parmesan grits-so creamy, that parmesan crisp is EVERYTHING! Bacon fried rice-I only had a fork full because I tasted my friend's. That will definitely be my side if I don't choose the entre' portion next time. There were only a couple of grains of rice and the pocketed jalapeños left in the bowl Chicken and waffle-very good. My first time trying this combo (anywhere). The fact that the chicken is a thigh, not the usual wings or breast, sold me. Very good! I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy stuff so I got the hot sauce on the side. I'm glad I did, it has a nice little kick to it. Blueberry pancakes-nice and fluffy. Good, but not as good as our favorite pancake house. The coffee in the pic has a good flavor to it, as well. Parisian omelet-it looked really good, but my friend was too full after finishing her pancakes and a couple cups of coffee, she needed a box. Bacon-crispy, thick, and tasty read more

The food here is very good. I have not tried something on the menu my taste buds didn't enjoy, and the service is always friendly. The wait can be very long. especially on the weekends, but it's expected. The downfall is there is NO WHERE TO PARK and the parking they had in front of the restaurant the city took away for bicycles read more

Came here with a friend on a Sunday around 11:30 we were told there would be about a 30/45 minute wait for a table for two. I wasn't suprised by that as reading previous reviews about the size but people weren't kidding! It is small. But we peaked around and seen two spots at the bar which is first come first serve. If it's an option it's usually my spot to be for breakfast spots. Our waitress was friendly and very attentive. I had a water and super mimosa. I don't know what it is but breakfast booze always hits the spot. The drink was good but not very strong. I ordered the chicken-n-waffles and bacon fried rice I've heard a good deal about! The chicken tasted good you can tell the thin breading actually had some seasoning and super tender chicken. I didn't get a ramekin of honey and it looked like maybe it was already on the chicken? The syrup was syrup, waffle was waffle and the hot sauce was weird I couldn't quite place it, like a peri peri sauce I've had elsewhere before? The bacon fried rice was just ok. I can definitely see why people like it but I felt like it was just missing something? I am used to some crazy stuff in my rice so it's prolly just me. Would I come back again? Possibly with a friend again, $44 for one persons breakfast w/ auto 20% gratuity including is a bit steep but it's Ferndale I suppose? I always tip above 20% It just turns me off some reason when it's auto but also I get people can suck sometimes too :/ read more

I have finally eaten at both Toast locations and can attest to the fact that both are simply SUPERB! The menus are the same, the food quality is the same, and the only main difference between these two are that the prices are a few dollars more expensive per item at the Birmingham location, I'm assuming because...it's Birmingham lol. Parking is probably a bit more difficult at this Toast Ferndale location, depending on when you go there too. They have a really small lot in the back that will most definitely be full with all the other nearby lots behind businesses next to Toast reserved for those businesses only, with signs up and everything threatening to tow you if you park here but do not patron the business. So your best bet at parking near Toast Ferndale would be at one of the spots along the side of Woodward or on one of the side streets, which depending on when you go could also be all full. At least in Birmingham, it's all street parking and/or parking deck options close by that you have plenty of options to choose from and in Birmingham the first two hours in any of their parking decks is free. Other than that, absolutely love the vibey interiors of Toast and the food. In Birmingham and Ferndale alike, this is definitely a go-to breakfast/brunch spot on any day and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Delicious all around! Love you, Toast! :) read more

I highly recommend the bacon fried rice for brunch--it's a delicious and distinctive dish. The ambiance is fantastic, enhanced by brunch cocktails, and the staff is warm and welcoming. I went early (8AM) there were kids with us and it was perfect. It's a popular spot and tends to get busy, so I suggest arriving early to avoid a wait. read more

Toast - Bacon Fried Rice - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

So this is my first time coming here in over 6 years. I haven't been since before the pandemic and before I moved to Florida. I'm now back in Michigan and wanted to try some good food. I'm on a diet, so I I wanted something more of the healthy variety. So usually this place is very busy and it helps that I came on a Tuesday. My waitress was very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable of the menu. She helped me choose great options. The ambiance was really laid back and chill. Everyone was relaxed and it wasn't too loud at all. I ended up ordering the avocado toast and added egg whites to it. I did order a bottle of champagne for my pineapple mimosas as well. For my main course I ordered a custom omelet with mushrooms, peppers, pepper jack cheese and chicken sausage... and for my side I chose the fresh fruit. I had whole grain toast with the fresh strawberry jelly. The food was amazing and the portions was big. I wasn't able to eat it all, but I have a good snack for later. You should definitely visit this place if you never have before. read more

I love toast. Or I used to? I would often say it was my favorite breakfast place and now I just don't know. I am happy to see it expand, and that the menu retained many things from over a decade ago, but my most recent trip just left something to be desired. A friend and I went out for a fancy President's Day breakfast. We had to wait, which sure, it's a hip breakfast place in Ferndale, home of brunch. So we wandered the neighborhood for twenty or so and we're summoned back via text message for our table. I ordered the Wild Mushroom omelet, which is one of my favorite things. The issue I have now is the last two times I've ordered it, there has been too much truffle oil. I get it. Truffle oil is fancy so douse it. But actually don't. I just feel like the proportions are off, the herbed ricotta is lacking what used to make it really special, and for some reason this time there was a weird citrus note. As always, the toast was served under toasted--but weirdly I don't mind that. Strawberry jam on jalapeño cheddar challah makes me happy. I don't know who wants plum preserves, but it's not me. Service was fine. Though, I question them adding a fee/gratuity without someone saying this is what the what. How much of a percent is it? Is it just going to server or is it being split with back of house? And if that's the case, raise your prices. I guess, I'll come back someday, but it just isn't going to be at the top of my rotation for a while. And honestly I'm amazing my iPhone hasn't made one of those videos that's like Toast through the years, because I guarantee you there's enough photos to do so. read more

Omelette was SO good and the jalapeño cheddar bread to go with it was amazing! Service was great and everything was timed out perfectly (water, drinks, apps and mains) only complaint is that the server said they don't do french fries instead of wedges for the omelette side :( read more

I usually don't voice my complaints when dining out, but this restaurant was utterly disappointing. They charged exorbitant prices. The waitress neglected to attend to us, took a long time to take our orders, and then informed us that, for a table of six, they couldn't split the bill at the end, without prior notification. Before we sat down, the food looked unappetizing. I would advise my friends to steer clear of this establishment. when asked to speak to the manger they she got very hostile I ended up just leaving I would stay far away from this place read more

Overall not an awful experience but definitely had multiple factors that shed a negative light on my time at Toast. I will say, the food and drink were tasty. However, this may have just been because I had to wait 2 hours for my food and was extremely hungry by the time it arrived. Arrived in the early afternoon, so I understand they were busy at the time but I did not get any sense that the staff cared about how long we had to wait. Each time the waitress came it was at least 20 minutes until the next time we saw her and she didn't seem like she was in a rush to meet our needs at all. The restaurant was a cute vibe and the food was good but that was pretty much the only positive thing about this restaurant. Don't think I'll be returning. read more

Toast is still among the best places for brunch after years in the business. Today we got the breakfast burrito and the Nova lox Bennie. The burrito comes solo but is delicious and ample. The Bennie was one of the best things I have ever had. Delicious salmon, spinach and tomatoes on your choice of base covered in a formidable hollandaise. So good! Bloody Mary's rounded our meal out perfectly. Staff was super helpful and so nice. One of my favorite breakfast joints! read more

The food was quite good but the wait was over an hour long to get a seat . I would definitely recommend it but definitely try to get there before or after prime times. We had the biscuits and gravy to start which was really good! I had the Nova Scotia style Bennie's (eggs Benedict) which were a huge win. The flavor combinations made this hard to beat. My wife got the chicken n waffles which was good, but her chicken was a little dried out in the middle... the syrup and sauce couldn't save it. The waffle itself was very good though... I would definitely go again to try some of the other really delicious looking options but I don't know that I would do it for that wait time again. read more

I ordered the half stack waffles, pancakes, and the huevos rancheros and they were all absolutely delicious. They served the waffles and pancakes with warm syrup, and the batter for both had to have had vanilla or something extra that set it apart from one's I've had in other breakfast joints. The huevos rancheros were a great contrast to the pancakes and waffles I got, the tortilla strips were crisp and the black beans complimented the eggs really well. Great if you like savory breakfasts. The orange juice was a bit overpriced, they told me it was fresh squeezed but it tasted like carton OJ to me. Not a big deal, overall I was very happy with everything. Our waitress was also super attentive. Will definitely return.v read more
