Great place with a good vibe. Always trying to find the next breakfast spot out here in LA and SF, this place has all of the ingredients for a great breakfast shop in my new future home, Detroit. We had to wait a while to get a table, but they had coffee for all of us in line and cups available at the counter. Pretty much the best thing ever when you have to wait 30 minutes to get a table. Once we were sat, the service was great and the food was eclectic and delicious. Plenty of choices from the griddle to the skillet. Too many things to choose from and they all sounded so good. Went with a spicy avacado omelet and was not disappointed. The toast was heart whole grain and very buttery, not a bad thing, but know that going in if you're worried about a soggy toast. Over all, I can't wait to move to MI cause I know I'll have some good breakfast to cure a saturday night hangover. read more

Now, here's a place that, to me, seemed almost a bit out of place in Michigan. Of course, I am not anything approaching an authority on what is or is not out of place in Michigan, but I do like to think I know a little bit about California... And I feel that this place could have been quite at home in Long Beach, or even Redondo. I will go so far as to venture that if you're reading this that you are not from where I'm from, so you may have to take my word on this. All I can say is that this place, for an hour or so, made me feel as though I could walk out on to the sidewalk and then walk home. That, of course, shall speak to Toast's atmosphere. As for the food? Well, holy hell... it was good. I wish I was a real food critic and had a larger bag of wordy tricks with which to describe my dining experiences, but unfortunately I do not. I am merely a lowly storyteller, who would just like you to know that the food here was... well, good. Quite good, actually. That, still, does not quite do justice to the idea I'm trying to convey, but it will have to do for now, because I have something infinitely more important to talk about. The hot chocolate. Oh dear... the hot chocolate. The delicious steamy cocoa, with its mound of soft white whipped cream, and its shades of beautiful yet subtle flavor. If Titanic was the ship of dreams, this drink was the cup of it. Yes, the cup of chocolatey dreams. Dreams of pure happiness with a hint of hazelnut. I could have shed a tear when it was gone if not for the wonderful memories it had left behind in its wake. Oh Michigan, how I begrudge thee thy wondrous libation. Reading the above paragraph, I feel that I probably can describe the food a bit better... but I've long since realized that my inspiration comes for only the most obscure of things. Still, though, having gotten my ode to the hot chocolate out of the way, I will bring Toast's food back up for a moment. The red potatoes were not quite amazing, but almost. I would choose grilled red potatoes over almost any other side every time, so I was ecstatic to see them on the menu. I also got a Belgium waffle with strawberries, which, for its part, may have been the best waffle of its kind I've ever had. To be fair, I may have only ever had one or two others... but still, it deserves the distinction. Dan, upon the recommendation of our Detroit host, opted for the biscuits and gravy. I'm told, by both of them, that they are probably the best biscuits and gravy on the planet. I'll never taste them, but I believe it with the blind faith that this place has given rise to in me. Lastly, to the service. We were served by a man by the name of Russell, or "Russ". He was definitely one of the nicest people, let alone servers, I'd met in Michigan. He was friendly, funny, and above all very helpful. He gave the impression of actually caring that we not only enjoyed the food, but also enjoyed ourselves. That's kind of rare. Anyway, people of Michigan, I hate you for having this place and not sharing it with me in California. Expect to see me again. read more

Toast is hip. Toast makes omelets with fancy ingredients. I like Toast. My friends and I had breakfast at Toast on a Monday morning, and we arrived shortly after they opened at 7:00 AM. When we arrived, there was only one other occupied table. By the time we left after 9:00 AM, the place was packed! I can see why it's so popular too. I had a great Parisian omelet with home fries and toast (thus, the name?). The only problem was that our server didn't ask whether we'd like separate checks. She assumed we were on one bill, entered all of our meals under seat #1, and was miffed that we wanted to pay separately. Nevertheless, I plan to go back! There are several other decadent omelets I'd love to try! read more

Rare is the menu where I can't make a decision because everything in every section looked so damn good! I had the Spicy Cali omelette, which I never order omlettes but this sounded soo yummy! It was great. Guacamole, salsa, lot's of cheese. The red potatoes they serve on the side were crispy and soft. My friend had the Plain Jane French Toast and that was really delicious even without all the frills the other versions had and really, that's how french toast should be judged! The staff was super nice and the place is all kitchy cute, just how I like brunch/lunch places. It's down the street from my friends place and I wish it were down the street from mine! read more

Toast is in Ferndale, just north of one of the rougher parts of Detroit. They serve tasty breakfasts. When I'm taking care of my property just to the south, I reward myself with the eggs benedict and the grits. Oh yes the grits. The grits are the way, the truth, and the light. Did I mention the grits? Ambiance is a greasy spoon. Don't mess with your server, she's busy. Your coffee is full and your eggs are hot off the stove. What more do you want? read more

Hands down the Birmingham location is so much better. The food quality here is poor and the service is not any better. I frequent the Birmingham location and this is the 3rd time at the Ferndale one. The restaurant is so dirty that my table was surrounded by flys. The bathroom was so dirty, I would preferred a port-a-Jon at the RenFest. The servers spent more time gossiping about Netflix then waiting on tables. I ordered my favorite meal, chicken and waffles, and it was just disappointing to say the least. My toast was soggy and gross. I did have the pineapple coconut jam and it was really good. My partner had the Wild mushroom omelet and all the cheese was in a big clump making it gross. #nevercomingbacktoToastFerndale read more

This place is awesome. Although the place is a bit small, the food is great. I'd got the special - banana cardamon french toast. It was very sweet, but not overwhelming if you eat slowly. Place is very pack and you should expect at least 30 min wait. read more

Ah how I missed thee, dearest Toast. We swung by at the best time - 11ish - on the best day - any day but Saturday or Sunday - and were seated right away. It was pretty thin in the dining room so the usual wait was halved, thankfully. It was too early in the season for a mixed berry lemonade, unfortch, but I pacified myself by getting one of their incredibly creative omelets. I opted for "Alice's Wonderland" today and it killed me...I've never had roasted beets in an omelet before but they were damn tasty, especially when matched with fresh goat cheese and caramelized onions. I of course had to get a side of pancakes, some of the best around. After having lived in a few other metros and suffering through their associated inflated prices, breakfast here seemed a positive steal. Glad to see that Toast is still holding strong. read more

Yesterday I had a totally splendid breakfast here. Understand that it is with great self control that I am not immediately driving back there again today! This is the type of place I'd bring friends my age if they came into town. It's kind of cramped and noisy, so if my inlaws/grandparents were with me I might option for a more open and spacious venue for them. But Toast was perfect. It just was. I came in by myself on a busy Saturday morning and sat at the counter. My food came out quick and my coffee was never empty. Service-wise, they had it down. -Coffee: Whatever their house blend was... it was just really good. Normally coffee is coffee is coffee at a joint like this, but it was just balanced and good. -My omelet: I had a Tuscan. Tomato, basil, and fresh mozzarella. NOM NOM NOM. Amazeballs. -Toast: Made of challah bread. Very good. -Home fries: Chunks of red potato. Also a good flavor that stood out instead of being potato serving as a vehicle for salt/ketchup. I also got a cinnamon roll. I expressed my enthusiasm/trepidation about the amount of food I was ordering, especially given my waitress' description of the size of the cinnamon roll (HUGE). She jumped right in and said, "I'll put the sauce on the side and give you a container to take it home." Rad. And she did. ...that was a really, really, REALLY good cinnamon roll. Yeasty, dense, sweet bread - but not overly sweet. The sauce is what make it shine. I can best describe it as a buttery caramel. Not your usual glaze. But you will NOT be disappointed. Toast really knocked it out of the park for me. I was delighted. I WILL be back. read more

I like to think of myself as a walking advertisement for Toast. Anytime anyone wants a recommendation of a great breakfast place in Ferndale, I tell them to go to Toast. I've only eaten lunch there a few times, so I'll stick to reviewing the breakfast only. Toast's breakfast options include a nice blend of traditional and unique dishes. My favorite choices are the granola banana pancakes, granola and fruit (with vanilla soy milk) and the french toast with honey and yogurt. Toast offers plenty of options for those with a sweet tooth (nutella topping, cream cheese stuffed french toast, etc.). If you're an omelette fan, the wild mushroom omelette is delicious. If you're REALLY hungry, go for the breakfast burrito (I'm told it's also great for a hangover!). I see some complaints about the service, but I've always had fabulous service at Toast. The servers are attentive and nice. They stay on top of filling the coffee, but they don't hover over your shoulder and try to fill your cup every two minutes. There tends to be a wait on Saturday and Sunday morning, but the food is worth waiting for! read more

Apparently the day after Xmas is a big brunch day. Even so, we only had to wait about twenty minutes to get a seat. The coffee was plentiful and piping hot, which I greatly appreciated. I got an omelet, and they let me replace the cheese with a veggie! This is extremely rare, and I appreciate it. Fiance got the gingerbread pancakes - he says they were a little intense, so be prepared! I think this is the second Toast location we've been to, and we really have no significant complaints. It's yummy, but so far hasn't blown our socks off. Don't worry, we'll be back to give it another chance! read more

I don't get out to eat as much as I would like to...so when a friend called and suggested getting together for lunch at Toast, I couldn't get dressed fast enough. Because it was mid week prior to noon, we were able to get a table upon arrival. Great choices - innovative breakfast options. A definite must when a quick coney island breakfast just won't do. Absolutely plan on returning so I can try more menu options. I had the Apple Betty French Toast, but only after a solid 20 minutes of trying to narrow my five choices down to one. My friend had the Petoskey Omelet and his plate was licked clean. Thanks for a great breakfast. My only complaint would be the noise level. It was challenging to hear, but given the restaurant size, seating and hard surfaces it is understandable. read more

Best brunch I've had in a long time. Love their sweet breakfast menu. The granola mountain French toast is ughmazing. read more

Toast - Granola mountain! Yum - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Spectacular meal! I had never heard of bacon fried rice, and that isn't really on my eating plan these days, but I had to try it and I was delighted! The Petoskey omelet was unique and also quite satisfying. And the coffee! read more

Woohoo, first review back after a weekend of nonstop eating! Fortunately for my family, but unfortunately for yelp, most of my eating was done in-house. However, one bright spot of my visit to the Detroit area this past weekend was eating brunch at Toast. It's cute. There are toasters everywhere. I don't really care about decor when it comes to a diner because I often think it's trying to make up for what the food is lacking. Except when there are cute coffee mugs--that is something I take notice of for whatever reason. Toast had pretty nice mugs. We waited almost an hour for a table for four. That's "sorta" unacceptable, but not. I guess there are plenty of diners for which waiting an obscene amount of time is kind of a built-in known factor. It's part of the package of eating at a coveted, hyped-up restaurant. So we knew what we were walking into...especially the day after Christmas when everybody and their entire family is trying to squeeze into "the best brunch place in town" to show their relatives what their city's got to offer. Anyway. The food was GREAT. Not only was the menu extensive and varied, but they had several specials available. Being a loser, I did not go for a special but instead tried the veggie omelet (made with 4 different types of vegetables and swiss, which I detest but which they were able to swap out for cheddar without charging me). You can choose between home fries or grits...I chose grits, which was an okay decision. They are supposedly "cheddar grits," but they're more like grits with some melted-then-hardened cheddar forming a crust on top. Well, I still ate 'em all. The eggs were top-notch. I couldn't decide what they mixed in to make them so fluffy and delicious. We finally decided that it was probably cream. That or crack. This is gonna sound stupid, but the toast was possibly the best part of the plate. It was-duh-toasted, but still extremely soft. I got wheat toast, and it almost seemed like a challah version, it was so pillowy and delicious. You know how you always leave over that last half a piece of toast? Not here. Even though we waited a long time before we got seated, we were attended to promptly and were never left long without a check-in, coffee refill, etc. Our waitress was really friendly. And the food came out quickly. Comparing this place to Fly Trap (down the street), which also had a dumb-ass wait, I'd return to Toast first. read more

Good omelets, great toast, grits left something to be desired. Toast is one of those small, unique breakfast joints that you just want to be great. The atmosphere was consistently retro with toaster on the wall. I enjoyed the vintage tables and overall ambiance. The menu has plenty of options with various unique omelets among them. The Parisian omelet was good, but not great. The consensus at my table was that the omelets were a bit bland. The side dishes had to be the biggest disappointment. The home fries were very bland, and the "Southern Fried Grits" were neither Southern nor fried. Having spent the last 3 years living in New Orleans, I can tell you that melting some cheese on top of plain grits does not fit the bill. There were about 5 thick cut toast choices, and marble rye was delicious. Service was very friendly and efficient. Good place for breakfast overall, but nothing I would stand in a long line for (which does tend to occur on weekends). read more

Quality ingredients, really cute place, cool artwork on the wall, and great service. I just wished this place was open after 3pm, because I really love breakfast for dinner. Omelettes were amazing. The cheesy grits were a no go (really strange, just not to my liking). And my toast was burnt (sadness). Inconsistent quality control in the kitchen. Toast is cheap. This place is called Toast. So why send out burnt toast? read more

Bourbon French Toast... mmmmm BOUUUUURBON. I agree with everyone else. This is a great place for brekkie. They always do my eggs and bacon up right (over-EASY and extra crispy)... but my god the Bourbon French Toast is a wonder to behold... in the mouth. yummy. though pushing upwards as far as breakfast-prices are concerned. read more

Dont go its over rated and you often have to wait a while to be seated my meal was good though

My initial explorations of the Detroit Metro were to help plan out where I wanted to end up residing, Toast had actual sway in my choice. I don't know if it is good of bad that a breakfast joint helped me decide where I wanted to live for the next couple years but hey, it is what it is. I'm not ashamed! My trip to Toast came after spending the previous day driving up and down streets looking for 'For Rent' signs. Not a fun or exciting venture, let-me-tell-you. You may have seen me and a red head, cruising at around 10 miles per hour up and down streets staring at your home in an awkward googley eyed state. We went everywhere - Ferndale, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Pleasant Ridge, West Bloomfield... you get the point. With such an exhausting and dull task behind us we were ready to actually enjoy the area before heading back out of the state. Toast was a whim, we were done searching, it was the first thing that came up on Google and that was that. I love a good breakfast place, and think the best of the best take pride in their ingredients and how they pair them - Toast is a great example of when those two elements collide. My friend and I didn't just enjoy, we relished in the parisian and bacon/gouda omelets. With the help of good coffee and our newly ignited taste buds we could appreciate the decorum of old and new toasters adorning the walls as well as the insightful quick service. At the end of our meal I looked at my friend and said, "Okay what did we write down for Ferndale. I want to call those places first.", and here I am! (Happily too). Since then I have stopped in a few times and have been provided with consistently good service (one male waiter in particular is just really helpful) and wonderful food. The wait has never taken more than 20 minutes, not too long, though I will say there seems to be a regular who magically jumps ahead of everyone else. Further investigation needed before I can say 100%. I dig Toast! Extra recommendations for the vegetarian would include: Wild Mushroom Omelet, Veggie Sausage, Berries and Granola served hot with soy milk. read more

What: Trendy happening breakfast/brunch spot. Comfortable crowd, decor, and menu. An original #RajivRecommnendsJoint for #DetroitCity. When: Great for brunch, but expect a wait. Where: Sit at the bar and grab game highlights over that Mimosa. Why: Small footprint; quickly crowded, but worth the wait. Must: Bloody Mary. Try the Florentine Eggs Benny or the Veggie Burrito. #RajivRecommends80% #DetroitCity #Ferndale #FoodReview read more

My favorite breakfast place. A greasy spoon. This is a popular trendy spot. The food is good and not expensive. Great ambiance. Be prepared to wait 20 minutes or longer to get a table though. The place is small and always crowded but so worth the wait. They even sell mimosa and cocktail drinks now. Parking can sometimes be difficult and a hassle just because of where it's located. read more

Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Who knew Ferndale could be a gem for more than one great place to dine. Call me skeptical - but it wouldn't have been me. Whereas Flytrap is the 60's Hippie flair and Route 66 feel - Toast is sort of the more modern West Coast, Cali side of things (food focused). You have the Mocha coffee. The more "veggie" and sensualist twist in old standby's like an Omelet or Deli Sandwich. Then you get the French Toast or Hot Cakes that are packed / done big with sweets and fruits. The portions I have had are certainly more than enough for any person (particularly sweets). In some instances you might be able to just split something. This is another location that is tight, intimate, and may have a wait. But, it seems to be worth it on most occasions. read more

Crowd still sucks, and it's terribly loud in here for a breakfast joint. They need to do something about the noise, even it means putting some soft art on the walls or sound deadening material in here. It sounds like one of those movies where all of the conversations run together when someone is on drugs or getting a migraine... Horrible... My eggs benny was over cooked and unimpressive, and the "crispy cheese grits" that everyone raves about are just normal, very average grits, with very little flavor and a crispy cheese cracker on top. The cracker is decent, but it's not worth ordering them as a side dish. Looks like I'll be trying flytrap like everyone else. Must be why there's a line out the door at that joint, when you can just walk into toast and sit down immediately. Apparently the line is worth the wait. read more

Not impressed, and wouldn't go back. I'll stick with Fly Trap or Niki's in Royal Oak. To be fair, I am vegan so eggs and meat weren't for me anyway. But the service was pretty cold and unfriendly. When asking about the jelly, I was told "whatever's in the bowl." The menu states no substitutions, but you didn't have the choice to omit something either. Initially, when I asked what could be made for a vegan, I was told oatmeal. Really? I ended up with home fries, soft and smushy because they are boiled first, and black beans on top, and then toast, with blackberry jam, which we asked her to get for us. read more

This is our favorite brunch place close to home. Delicious cinnamon rolls, great breakfast food, unique specials, fancy hot chocolates, and they now serve alcohol. Everything on the food menu is prepared properly and thoughtfully. This location is nearly always busy, but we think it is well worth the wait. read more

Loved every bite! Kind people, great atmosphere, and constant refills on coffee. Cant wait to go back.

I wanted to love this place. Everything about it said I would....unique, friendly waitstaff, quirky decor and expansive menu. The line on a Sunday morning told me that the wait was going to be worth while. But when our food came to the table it was just eh...ok. The home fries had a funny taste to them. Maybe too much oil? The toast was the best part of the meal - thick cut marble rye. Everything else was forgettable...oh, except the price. A $30 breakfast for two tends to stick with ya. read more

A friend and I meet here every few months to chat over breakfast. Every time, we have a great experience. I was surprised to find that it wasn't busy today, which is great for us! It didn't fill up til we started to leave at 9:30am. I always gravitate towards the omelets. As much as I love french toast & pancakes, I love omelets, especially here. Today I tried the Bacon & Gouda omelet w/ home fries & rye toast. YUM! Just the right combination. I have never been disappointed in any of the breakfast items I've ordered. One of these days I'll order one of their hotcake or french toast items....maybe. Service is always good. Nothing spectacular, but its good & consistent. I enjoy the coffee too! read more

Well this place has over a hundred reviews but I've still got to comment on how wonderful Toast is! Quaint, friendly, excellent food and service. I love the laid back decor and vibe. The service REALLY impressed me here. My coffee was always full, my water was always full, and the staff was so attentive and genuinely nice. The menu is amazing- how do you choose? I ended up building my own omelette and it was perfect. I did feta, guacamole, and onions .. loved it. I'm not usually into potatoes but dang the ones that come with your meal here are SO good- seasoned and cooked just right - they don't need ketchup, hot sauce, or anything added. They have challah as an option for your toast ... yeah challah is the best bread in the world. Finally I'll comment on the bacon - I tried a bite of my friends and oh shit, it is SOO good. It is a little bit sweet, thick cut -- best bacon I've tried! You gotta get it on the side. Banana coffee was also good. VERY impressed by Toast! read more

Fancy Gourmet Breakfast!! The wait was about 45 minutes but was well worth it. I ordered the omelet with brie cherries and bacon with redskin potatoes with cheddar onion and green pepper with cinnamon toast. It was amazing My friends ordered the salmon benedict and the breakfast burrito. I tried their dishes and they were also amazing, I love that the breakfast burrito is made with chorizo. The banana coffee is yummy. We also had great service and they don't rush you because they are busy which I thought was very cool. I can't wait to come back and try other items. .. read more

awesome brunch spot! very trendy with their theme and decor and the menu options are very simple yet delicious. i always get the french toast, but the eggs benny's and omelettes looked pretty good too. the free coffee while you wait is pretty awesome as well. there's even a few bar stools towards the back where you can grab something quick like juice, coffee, or mimosas etc. while you wait for your table to be called. simple menu, quick wait time, great location, and friendly prompt service. *Brad is the man, btw. -civilities. read more

Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

I'm spoiled in Chicago by all of the brunchy type places like Toast, so I was happy to find this when it seemed the Detroit area was lacking any such option. I haven't been here in awhile, but I remember Toast being really good, particularly the French toast - naturally. They do have pretty long lines and service isn't fantastic, but the food is worth it. read more

Toast continues to be a place for great, creative breakfast. If you are tired of places that think being creative is adding a new flavored syrup, you will enjoy Toast. Their biscuits and gravy are some of the best in town. The weekly specials are always new and fresh. Get there early because it is very popular and can fill up quickly. read more

Toast - An example of the fun and creative weekly specials. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Yum! Upscale, millennial-centric, creative menu, excellent breakfast/lunch/dinner choices shoehorned into Ferndale next to the Om Cafe. Tip #1: Sunday brunch is very busy, with a 30-45 min. wait for a table. The good news is that the owner is very pleasant, will take down your name & call your cell phone when your table is ready. It takes about 10 minutes to study the menu so you'll have something to do while you are waiting. And the food is definitely worth the wait. But leave your bulky jacket in the car! Tip:2: Skip the house coffee and order the french press. You'll get the strength you want and two cups are the same price $3 per cup) as the house. I ordered the chicken & waffle. Generous portion, large poached eggs and moist chicken piled on top of a thick malted waffle & gravy. If you like sweet, order the cinnamon french toast. The bread is from a bakery in Eastpointe and it's to die for. A perfect foil to the french roast coffee. My wish list: make the restaurant 300% larger, have more chairs for waiting or take reservations. The word has gotten out on this place and I expect it will stay crowded for a good long time. read more

Brackfast this Morning, waiting time for a group of 4 about 25 min... Food is okay feels / tastes a bit like mass production.... If you want to have a talk and relax it may not be the perfect place, they want to get you out as fast as possible ... Good for business not so good for a Sunday breakfast ... If you want a quick breakfast I can recommend that place. read more

Spent another weekend in Detroit - stayed in Ferndale and checked out this restaurant for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We arrived just after 8am, and in no time, there was a line out the door. A small little diner-style place serving up a great atmosphere and yummy food. We were able to chose a table and sat in front of the window. Within minutes, our waitress came over and took our drink orders. My friend got the banana coffee and said it tasted like banana water - not strong enough. They do, however, have french press available - so that would have been a better option. We both ordered types of french toast. They claim it is challah bread - but it wasn't as light and fluffy as my challah french toast is...more like a texas style french toast - but it was still good. He had the Grand Marnier and loved every bite - but his side of chicken apple sausage was less than perfect. I had the Granola Mountain - which was perfect! A good covering of yogurt, granola, honey, and fruit on top of some pretty good french toast. No syrup needed - which is always a plus, especially if they aren't serving real maple syrup (and I don't think they were). Side of bacon was cooked perfectly - thick, salty, and high quality. I wish one of us would have tried a non-french toast breakfast and had some of the 313 Love Sauce - but we'll save that for next time. Slightly higher price than your usual breakfast, but worth it. Great atmosphere. The vintage toasters are adorable. read more

Can I start off by saying yummmmyyyyyyyy!!!! I started my birthday celebration here for brunch with a table of 13 and we were all very satisfied with our food. I had some type of French toast topped with caramelized apples and some yummy thick bacon. They both hit the spot! I ordered two bottles of mimosas for the table that came with a flight of different juices which were all great! Our server was excellent I think her name started with a "d" ‍I'm sorry (must of been the mimosas lol) but she was very attentive and patient with us..the only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is only because the place is tiny lol but other than that Great job team toast!!! read more

This place is super hipster friendly lol. I love how they have a bunch of old fashioned toasters all around the place. The decor is really different and cool. The stool chairs were super uncomfortable lol so we asked to move to a booth which they had no problem with. Our waiter was cool. I had a veggie omelette with a side of garlic toast and potatoes that were topped with cheese and green onions I believe. The food was delicious. My friends had chicken and waffles topped with eggs and they loved it as well. Food is five stars, vibe from the employees is a four. read more

3 stars for the prices and the service, five stars for the food quality, four for the atmosphere. Overall, a solid 4-star place. The decor is bright and sassy, with paintings on the wall as well as a wall display of different kinds of toasters. There were a few working class folks here on a recent visit, but the clientele leaned toward urban hipsters with funky glasses and tattoos. I thought the prices of $4 for a bowl of soup and $8 and up for omelets was a little extravagant, but the food quality was good, so I can't complain too much. I got the tuna sandwich with a side of potato salad, and my companion got the huevos rancheros. His order was out quickly and accurately. I had a few bites, and it was delicious. The presentation was also good, with a solid layer of cheese and a sprinkle of roasted corn. The potato salad is made with red potatoes, skins left on, and it's good and flavorful. My sandwich was wrong, but I didn't realize it until I'd take a bite. Instead of tuna, I was given the portabella mushroom sandwich. It was good, just not what I'd ordered. When I pointed this out to the waitress, she apologized and said she'd take care of it right away. That correct amounted to being given a cup of tuna salad to add to my sandwich, which I thought was kind of strange. The tuna salad was good, with chunks of tomato and cucumber and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds. Added to the herbed cream cheese and artichoke hearts on my mushroom sandwich, it was a weird mish-mash, but good. read more
