Toasted Bun - Chorizo and eggs. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glendale, California

(Dined 10/17/20 SA @ 9:00pm): No toasted buns this time around as I ordered an omelet, but they certainly had the option if so inclined! Back in the day pre-Yelp and long before that, I was a fan of the Toasted Bun in its original Glendale location on Glendale Ave. for its inexpensive simple diner-type food and the chance to chill with the considerably older crowd. It was the kind of neighborhood hangout where you had older female waitresses (when they were still called that) who called you "hun" and at times knew you by name (I wasn't a regular enough). They had been closed for many years and was surprised to hear from a friend that they reopened at a new location which I believed was another former diner spot along Glendale's "Brand Blvd. Of Cars". Would this return visit to a reimagined favorite be a welcomed experience!? PURCHASE Toasted Bun Omelet w/Breakfast Potatoes & Sourdough Toast ($11.95): Their namesake specialty omelet made with avocado, bacon, cheese, and mushrooms, it was a fluffy packed meal perfect for any time of day. The bacon amount was especially notable as you cut into the egg pocket and released hot steam. Of course, I lathered the top with Tapatio! The breakfast potatoes were fine although several bits were harder than I liked, while the sourdough toast was made better once I layered marmalade on each lightly-toasted piece https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=KD9059_e1dBiw-evLjhADg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 3.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($3.95): A large portion of uniformly-shaped rings that reminded me of calamari, they were served hot, the light brown somewhat crunchy batter was fine and didn't crumble when bitten while the onion ring (not sweet Maui) stayed intact. Minimal flavor while they help up surprisingly well as breakfast the following morning - a one-and-done side snack https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=5MoivkTlcU3V0Lsc25S9Xg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE During these COVID-19 times, our party of three was kindly greeted by an older female and immediately showed us to an umbrella-covered wooden picnic table with menus in hand. While we longingly perused the menu, she brought us water and coffee/tea. Finally, she patiently took our order after what seemed like forever, and about ten minutes later our food started to arrive in waves. Once settled in, they made admirable attempts to check on us and fill any beverage cups but somehow always managed to not fill one particular coffee cup. Ultimately, it was time to leave, needed some to-go containers, and of course pay which all went smoothly. Generally speaking, all was fine. PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance) They allocated a sliver portion of their private lot while the rest was used for outside dining during the days of COVID-19. Otherwise, there were plenty of metered and timed spots along the main drag of Brand Blvd. and all surrounding side streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE During these COVID-19 times, the entire restaurant was off-limits to all patrons except the bathrooms. However, they utilized their somewhat spacious parking lot to set up an outdoor patio filled with many wooden picnic benches and tables, many umbrella coverings, and a handful of outdoor heaters. Obviously, there was plenty of natural lighting, but I didn't notice what the electric lighting situation - if any - there was. There were no TVs or background music except for the whizzing street traffic and patron chatter. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was nice to reacquaint myself with Toasted Bun after all these years and would be interested in returning to sample more of their somewhat vast menu. The food was fine but nothing to clamor over (personally, I loved making omelets at home and crammed them with all sorts of ingredients!). The prices were comparable to other breakfast/diner establishments, and the service was what it was. Plus, it's always a pleasure to support a mom & pop small business. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $18.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Went back for the menudo and mentioned how good it is when I paid. I was then told it's offered daily. Woo-hoo! Definitely looking forward to coming back during the week! It will be nice to experience the patio when the weather is warmer and drier too. read more

Dropped off our car at the dealership for service, walked to Toasted Bun, our "new" favorite restaurant in Glendale.... Ordered the carnitas and eggs breakfast plate and also ordered the zucchini bread. The carnitas and all the fixings were delicious, the carnitas is pull-apart tender and the green salsa and pico de gallo is spot on. The zucchini bread was very moist and delicious! Also loved the Lavazza coffee that they served. All in all another great meal! Great service too! read more

I thought I ordered correctly on the website. It made me select a chip option, even though I paid extra for fries. $30 and I didn't get my fries. I won't order from here again. Not a good first impression. read more

Came here after visiting the Autry Western museum. They make my favorite sandwich! The Monte Christo! It was delicious and very generously filled!!! I also added a side salad that was fresh and a perfect side. The waitress there was so kind and accommodating. Constantly refilling our glasses! I will definitely come back here when i'm in the area!!! read more

My mom and I had breakfast here last weekend while my car was getting an oil change a few blocks away. Cute diner with standard diner vibes, attentive and friendly service. I had their biscuits and gravy, she had the 2+2+2 both with coffee. Perfect start to our morning! read more

Best food! Best service! My life is changed after this restaurant. The ambiance was stunning, worth the drive to Glendale from Venice!!! 10/10 read more

Do not try to go to the Toasted Bun Coffee on Brand Blvd in Glendale and think you will be seated comfortably Peter, the Manager, would rather lose you as a customer than try to accommodate. We were there this morning for breakfast, 4 people, including my pregnant daughter. After they instructed us to choose a table, they told us we could not be seated at a specific booth because it was meant for 5 or 6 people, we had no choice but to leave the place. Probably for the better, as I noticed on my way out that they had a B health rating. read more

Covid & non related: This is always our go too even back at it's original location. The food and service is always excellent and the daily special are just that special. It's always a lovely feeling when you go in as a family and they already know your drink choice. The location itself is dated as far as the decor and I always find it funny they do actually have a bar here to the side and the one bathroom but it's what it is. Like most establishments they have made this location covid friendly with a large patio dining area, I hope they take the opportunity If they can financially to redo some things indoors (second bathroom) still this very much a family diner home style feeling. I look forward to being able to dine back indoors and hope too see my familiar smiling staff again read more

I ordered their breakfast sandwich which originally comes on sourdough and subbed it for a biscuit. I was supposed to get a choice of meat in the sandwich. I was never asked. And when the sandwich came the biscuit was hard and stale almost as if it were microwaved. The sandwich came with ham. read more

Service January 1st awful we waited over and hour for food. I had my mom waiting for food and fainting. I understand it's the first but I always say beyond comprehension of being busy PLEASE BE CARING ans also know your capability, you can't with so many people SAY IT. People were so upset with you in general Lady waitress was RUDE. Very extremely disorganized. Food is fine but it's a NIGHTMARE read more

TIP: if the outside temp is going to be above 90 eat as far to the left of the restaurant as you can as AC coverage is night and hot sweltering day. Do this and you should have a good meal. The food and service was pretty good for us but the killer part today was the poor, poor, poor AC where we sat on a day with temps pushing 100. All the ice tea refills in the world could not mitigate the heat. Parking is is front and to the side lot. My other tip is to look for parking/ parking lot off Brand. read more

I was waiting for my car to get an oil change and haven't had breakfast yet so this place was the closest. Server was nice but honestly the food was not good at all. Pancakes were burnt on the bottom, the breakfast potatoes tasted super old and they were nasty additional charge. The sausage link were the smallest links i've ever seen. Eggs didn't taste like scrambled eggs. Wasn't pleased and it was $20. Will not be coming again unfortunately read more

Great restaurant. The employees are very nice and attentive They have daily specials and weekend specials I had the relleno omelette and it was excellent . Lots of choices on the regular menu also .they have lots of pancakes choices. We also tried the cornbread pancakes very tasty read more

Toasted Bun - Relleno omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glendale, California

I was meeting a friend for lunch who lives in Glendale, so I asked her what she recommended. She chose here. I ordered the Monte Cristo, but it was just weird. Who serves a Monte Cristo with thousand-island dressing?? Also, they had no raspberry jam, only strawberry, in little packets on the table. TB owners: the Monte Cristo sandwich is always served with raspberry jam and confectioners sugar on top. ALWAYS. Offer your ridiculous preparation as an option, but to not have those here is just wrong. All I could really taste was the fried-ness of something that is basically a flavor bomb in your mouth (well, it's supposed to be). I'm not really into the whole "diner" mystique, so this place just left me cold. I'm not sure what I should have ordered instead. From the other awful reviews, it sounds like whatever I chose would have been equally bad. read more

Service is horrible, ordered a bagel sandwich and they gave it to me on sourdough. When I told them it was supposed to be on a bagel, the server said they were all out of bagels??? Could they have told me before they made it? I would have ordered something else. Then I get the stare of death from the server because I asked a question. There were customers seated at the next table and overheard a lady say the ketchup in the bottle looked off. Well she opened it and exploded onto my food and my new Uggs. The server saw it happened and didn't come to help clean. I had to grab napkins from the other tables to clean it up myself. Server just stared at me while I was cleaning. The food was just ok. Nothing fabulous where I would rave and tell all my friends and family that they had to try their food. Didn't eat much of the food because there was ketchup all over it so I went to go pay the bill because I wanted to just get out of there. Then, the Credit card machine and Apple Pay wasn't working so I had to walk down the street to get cash. The cashier started ringing me up and he said, "you got a bagel sandwich." I told him I didn't because they were out of bagels. He took off 25% off my bill. I'm not a jerk so I still tipped from the amount of the full bill but I won't be going to this place again. read more

Toasted Bun - The 808 Sandwich with French Fries and a Diet Coke - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glendale, California

I've been coming here for years. Started back when the location was up in California and Glendale here I'm Glendale. This is pretty much a solid go to place for lunch and breakfast. Nothing super fancy and the prices are pretty decent. With the millennial hipster boom that came to Glendale when the apartments all when up, came a plethora of highly expensive and not so good cafes. Here you'll find decent food for s decent price. They also have a decent vegan and Mexican inspired selection. Service is above par and always friendly. Tried the feta omelet the last time and wasn't disappointed. Spinach, tomato and feta in a fluffy omelette with hash browns for about $11. A firm 4:5 simply because it was a little watery from the spinach and tomato. read more

So disappointed. We came to enjoy some breakfast but unfortunately we had to leave. We sat down ordered and started drinking our beverages. Server came out and said we don't have eggs. . NO EGGS ?!?!? Wow. So we left and headed to Foxy's. I understand if you run out of something but it would have been nice to been informed before we started ordering and waited . read more

I love this place! Great little, delicious gem in Glendale. Tasty breakfast options - got the carnitas and eggs w/ potatoes and loved how tender the meat was along with the salad w/ bell pepper and jalapeños. The waitress was extremely nice and down to earth. Ambiance of the place is laid back, clean, and family friendly. I'll be a regular here! read more

Easy to find, lots of seating inside and outside.It had lots of options to choose from the menu. Coffee was hot and delicious. Food came out amazing as well. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Another spot to add to my list of places I will revisit next time I'm in the area. read more

"B" grade on their health inspection. Sus Friendly enough staff They served me food with allergens which had no mention of these components on the menu. I took a bite before I realized it. Server was pleasant about it I guess. The food that came out the second time was rushed and poorly made and by that time I was worried about an allergic reaction and I was over it all. I ate maybe 1/10th of it and said I was done. Server brought me a check which was discounted by half. As I was going to the register to pay the check I said " I don't think you should be charging me for this food. You served me food with things I'm allergic to that weren't on the menu." She said, " nope I already gave you half is nothing I can do." I could've just walked out but I know what this industry is like so I paid the check and left a 25% tip and left. Morally they should be issuing a refund. Otherwise I'll never come back and won't be likely to recommend to anyone that I work with in the area , oh well read more

I was driving down brand headed to get a smog check when I passed by this little coffee shop/diner. Clean facility with great service. I had the breakfast quesadilla with fruit and coffee. Everything was on point! They have a pretty big menu so if I'm in the neighborhood I will return again. Doesn't matter which meal! read more

Parking: came here on a weekend and there was plenty of free street parking and a lot right next door. Service: service is really attentive here and constantly checking on tables. Ambience: we sat outside and it was super spacious and nicely covered from the sun. Great breeze and big plus is this place is dog friendly!! They even brought over water for him. Food: we had the biscuits and gravy which was so good, avocado toast, egg florentine and plain patty for our doggo. Large portions here! Although we didn't sit inside, it was super cute and designed really retro when we walked through. read more

The staff here are alwaysss so nice and welcoming! I love this place, it has a whole other vibe that I can't really explain! It feels like you're back in the 1950s diners! I go here like once a week now! read more

Where do I begin? They are only accepting cash only. The waitress Luz not very friendly and not paying attention. I specifically ask for a breakfast white egg with sausage sandwich and she gave me bacon instead of sausage. I'm ready for giving so I'm like OK whatever I'm just gonna eat this then she gives me a check for about $19 and then right when I put the cash she says I'm sorry I gave you the wrong receipt. Give me another receipt for $24. I'm like. Wtf as I'm leaving she comes and tells me she forgot to charge me coffee and then you need to pay for it so let's just say I gave her five dollars and I told her to give me back the one dollar she didn't give me the $1 I guess she needs it more than me, but I wanted to send her a message that her waitress skills or less to be desired and the food was OK. My sandwich had 1 inch height of egg white and two scrawny pieces of bacon.. I highly recommend that you consider other options than to come to this place. Also, they could use a little improvements of the appearance of the inside and the floors I noticed are all buckled up so they really need to do some TLC. The ambience is less to be desired. read more

Good food and always enjoyed coming here but just had an experience where we were charged prices higher than what is on the menu. When I went to complain they pulled up another menu that had the higher prices. At the same we pulled up their online order form which had the lower price. Either they are pulling really shady pricing practices or simply are massively overcharging the value of their food. read more

This used to be one of my favorite spots when it was called Eat Well. I continued going when it changed to Toasted Bun because it initially had the same taste and quality. Unfortunately, the past couple times I've visited the food was burnt - hash browns, toast and pancakes. Most recently I had my Vitamin C in a coffee cup mixed with water when the waitress came and poured coffee in the cup without asking me. The whole Vitamin C packet wasted. Lastly, it was during a heat wave and they had the back door open and what felt like no AC. My waiter was nice and accommodating though. It's too bad the quality has gone down, I will not go back again. read more

Really nice staff, AMAZING burger. Sandwich was not as great as I hoped but the burger was truly excellent.

Haven't been to this establishment since it was Eat Well, which was years ago. Was pleasantly surprised to see that almost every seat and booth was taken. Ordered the Toasted Bun burger for $12. Was tasty and didn't disappoint. Was topped with bacon, avocado, onions, lettuce, thousand island dressing and cheese. What's not to love? Loads and loads of fries...too many, I couldn't finish them all. Friendly service by two gentlemen. A good place to grab a quick bite to eat if you're looking for simple diner food without having to worry about parking or stressful crowds at the nearby Americana or Galleria. read more
