    A great local diner in Glendale. There are multiple Toasted Bun locations around LA but I have only been to this Glendale location. It's a traditional retro-style diner so it's a great option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. My favorite diner meal is breakfast so we decided to stop in for our first time this Saturday morning for breakfast and had a great meal. There is medium-sized free parking lot attached next to the restaurant otherwise it will be street parking. Our server was very polite and all of our food items came out extremely fast. It was under 10 minutes after ordering that we got our food. Inside is quite large and divided into a few rows of booth seating. They have a fairly large menu so it was hard to choose what I wanted to order. I started with a coffee which I recommend because it's strong and tasty here. For my meal I chose the Chilaquiles Verdes with Carne Asada and thought it was honestly great. The Carne Asada was especially good and seasoned and the portion size was very healthy. We also ordered Eggs and Pancakes and the eggs were terrific as well as the pancakes. The food tastes great and the pricing is fair so I would suggest to anyone searching for a solid breakfast option in Glendale.

    I was waiting for my car getting serviced by the Toyota dealership and looked for a place to grab some coffee. I looked at the reviews and saw "corn pancakes". I got intrigued and ordered it with eggs and bacon. The corn pancakes are a must! It does have a good flavor and bits of corn and delicious with the butter. The eggs and bacon were alright but the pancakes are the star of the show. The place did give diners vibes and I find the decor with cute pastel colors. Service was pretty attentive especially with the coffee refills, which kept flowing. I'd go back!

    Diners are as familiar as the language we speak and comfortable we eat. Every American love American diners, including me. This might not the best Diner in Glendale, but baby boomers seeking the comfort & nostalgia of their youth. The family owned biz since 1962. Typical retro all-inclusive range of patrons; actors, streetcar motormen, milkmen, policemen, white wings, left wings, businessmen, probably hipster & counter culture - all these and more run elbows at its counter. ( don't worry narcissistic people won't show up. They are too dumb to stalkings and talk others behind the back in their tiny places. Only good vibe patrons here ) Service is slow as retro style. But hey, remember this is West coast. Chill ! My charming breakfast with Mr LA was delightful. We will stand by the right, the true, live, die for the red, white and blue. Happy 4th.

    I stopped in this morning after dropping my car off at the Honda dealership down the street for some TLC. It's a couple of blocks away and must really enjoy a loyal following, or they wouldn't still have been around since 1963. Being the first one in a diner is a treat! Especially one that really harkens back to a simpler, more cozy time. The modest room is filled with plush booths all around and a nice long counter, as should be in a classic diner. Everything was neat and clean. I'd suggest some new flooring near the kitchen as it looks like some of the planks are going their own way. The waiter was kind and brought me a menu right away. And good thing, the place started to fill up quickly. The next couple in the door asked if they could sit on the patio, and at first the waiter said they were not doing the patio service this morning since he was all alone. But then he said that they could but asked them to please understand if service was a little slower out there as the main room was going to get busy. They agreed. The menu is large. Not Cheesecake Factory large, but certainly more than enough for all tastes, including a healthy selection of breakfast burritos, huevos rancheros, and the like. I ordered a little bit of everything in a standard American breakfast. I had originally planned to just sit here waiting for my car service to be completed, so the massive order seemed to be the perfect accompaniment. Two eggs, two slices of bacon, a Belgian waffle, and breakfast potatoes. And, of course, a cup of coffee. Everything was really delicious! Seriously! Coffee and all. Every single bite was unique and perfectly prepared. The coffee was awesome. The potatoes are prepared with a little red bell pepper and onion, just like I would have done at home. And the waffle was sublime. If I had one request, I would have preferred real maple syrup. But that's me. I could tell by how the waiter was speaking with a number of customers that these were some of his regulars. If I lived in the area, I'd make this my haunt. I truly recommend Toasted Bun. There's too much here not to get your share of it. And I can't wait to go again and have company to share the experience. (available on Grubhub and DoorDash) Bon Appétit!

    Food and service was great. We sat outside because it was easy for my mother since she was on her walker/wheelchair. Food was very good. Will definitely come back again.

    EL Effe- Spot on delicious! I ordered it without the bun.

    What a gem! This neighborhood diner feels like I'm coming to my grandmother's house. People know each other. They have good conversation. The food is delicious and served withcare. Peter, my waiter, was gracious and kind. This is your neighborhood place!

    Quiet and chill cafe with outdoor and indoor seating available. Toasted Bun gives the "old school retro diner" vibes, which is great. Menu offers a lot of variety breakfast/brunch, lunch, and dinner items. We came here on a Sunday morning and there was plenty of seating available. Both the service and food were good. Your choice of eggs style, hash browns or breakfast potatoes, or fruit when ordering the breakfast combos. Food arrived 15 minutes after ordering, which was pretty fast considering we ordered 7 different items.

    Breakfast Sandwich on biscuit

    Was waiting for an oil chance at the dealership next door so popped over for breakfast. Exactly what you want from a diner. The house made biscuit was great, hash browns were crispy.

    Morning!

    Great place to catch breakfast or lunch while your waiting 5 HOURS to get a oil change at Star Ford. Basic Cafe fare. A little bonus: Star Ford will give you a $2 Toasted Bun coupon to use for your meal purchase. I guess that makes the 5 hour wait WAY worthwhile! Thanks Star!

    French Toast Combo - excellent!

    Retro diner style spot with bottomless coffee and delicious French toast! Came in looking for a hot breakfast whilst waiting on car maintenance down the street and I am so glad I did!! My food was fantastic as well as the service and ambiance! Very chill and cozy - great vibes! I got coffee and a French toast combo (my usual at diners). Portions are huge, over easy eggs were perfectly cooked, hash browns lightly toasted and tasty, and the French toast was flawless!! Very soft and creamy on the inside and lightly crisp on the outside - perfection! Coffee is good too. Menu is extensive and prices are wonderful! My server was attentive and friendly. The other patrons were chatting and laughing with some local cops and the server - overall just a cozy neighborhood vibe here - it was great! The location is convenient too - right in the middle of a bunch of car dealerships. Lots of street parking available and there's also a private lot in back I think. Now that the Alhambra Mazda closed down, I'll be over here anytime for maintenance and I'll definitely be eating here again!

    Corn pancakes and my preferred topping, the Mixed Fruit yogurt parfait.

    Been hitting this place (and its predecessor in the same location pre-COVID) and have watched as their motivated team get better and better at service, food and restaurant style with every visit. The reason for existence level items here are their breakfast menu items like the fluffy corn pancakes, which are kind of like a corn bread Angel food cake, hard to master at home but perfected here; every combination of every American and/or Mexican breakfast item with abundant vegan options; and a dining experience without the boisterous atmosphere of the usual IHOP/Dennys brekkie mobs. Airy but patio umbrella shaded big open patio in back (dog friendly) and plenty of parking in the lot and unmetered street. Lunch and dinner e we come by on occasion, but breakfast is a standard yes for TTB these days.

    Lipstick on the rim

    There is an older waitress who seems to hate her job. They don't wash their dishes thoroughly (my water glass had lipstick on the rim and my coffee mug had old dried-up coffee stains). Simple requests like asking for Tabasco went unfulfilled and we had to go inside to pay our bill because they weren't attentive to those sitting out in the patio.

    Ask the Community - Toasted Bun

    Are bottomless mimosas still offered during the week or is it only weekends?

    Weekends only, during the brunch menu hours 9am-2pm

    I was told they offer bottomless mimosas does anyone know if this is true and how much of it is?

    They do offer it. $22 for a 90 min limit.

    On the Yelp homepage it says, "vegan options". What are the vegan options here?

    We have a few different options from vegan chilaquiles, to a soyrizo vegan breakfast burrito, a vegan scramble and avocado toast

    Is this place still around?

    Yes, we just went in. They had a change of ownership and it's much better now.

    I almost walked in to this place until I saw the gross ripped seats ... when will these be fixed ? Does the owner care?

    They don't make you eat off the seats anymore. The food is good.

Lovely, old fashioned diner with exposed brick walls, distressed furniture and a mix of old and new American decor. Very comfortable and homey. The best part was the food though. The chef doesn't know it's a diner apparently. I had a lovely chicken piccata that was superb! The only thing I didn't do was lick the plate clean, it was so good. Fare you'd expect from a nice Italian bistro. They have a devil's den full of desserts they make, too. I had a banana cream pie that was ridiculously good, along with an excellent coffee. They have a full coffee bar as well as the dessert bar. Service was terrific and the pricing was moderate for the quality. Breakfast, lunch and dinner with a large menu filled with American comfort food favorites. We have a ballgame to go to mid August. We are going to eat early dinner here before the game. Cannot wait to try their chicken pot pie!

If you go during the breakfast/brunch rush on the weekends, def take a few deep breaths as there can be a wait. Often, the patio fills up quite quickly. But sometimes it's just the luck of arriving at the perfect moment. As far as the entrees are concerned, I particularly like the Chile Stuffed Skillet when I'm craving a savory breakfast meal. It's made with a pasilla pepper stuffed with bacon, cheddar, and a poached egg. It's baked it in an iron skillet on top of potatoes, and it's topped off with ranchera sauce and sour cream. And let me tell ya, those house-made biscuits are amazing. Warm, crumbly, and melt in your mouth like a good biscuit should. The house-made jams are also a nice treat and feel like having a sample of grandma's (or mom's) kitchen. On of my visits, a friend ordered the Banana Bread French Toast, and it made me wish I had two stomachs so that I could eat that as well. But like a good friend, she noticed that I was eyeing her breakfast like a puppy dog begging from scraps. So she was gracious enough to split some and do a trade with one of my biscuits. I think the trade was quite fair. Next time, we agreed to go halfsies on the Corn Flake Crusted French Toast because they're really exceptional, and the Morning Quiche (which is only served on the weekends).

    Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café…read more Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café reminded me that we live for the wonderful experiences that remain to be discovered. After a wonderful lunch date with my wife at Raffi's Place (please read my review and thank me later) in Glendale, I decided to look for the perfect dessert. After scouting several nearby locations, I decided I was in the mood for a great cinnamon roll. Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café looked like the place that would deliver the experience I was seeking. SDLBC is listed as being in Glendale, but it's located in the historic Old Town of Montrose. That's beside the point; I only mention it because there are additional places to explore just up the street. We arrived around 3:00 p.m. on a Saturday, and there wasn't much of a selection left, including the highly sought-after cinnamon roll. The gentleman behind the counter greeted us warmly, and I immediately asked if that was all the pastries they had. He said yes. I contemplated leaving because of the nonexistent cinnamon roll, but I didn't want to be rude, so I decided to give the bakery a try since we were already there. So, we basically took half of what remained behind the glass display case: a Peach Almond Croissant, a Raspberry Pistachio Croissant, an Almond Croissant, and then my curiosity focused on a few lonely-looking pastries that were unfamiliar to my discerning eyes. I asked the gentleman what they were, and he replied with something that sounded completely foreign to me: Kouign-Amann. Kouign-Amann (pronounced queen ah-MAHN) is a traditional pastry from the region of Brittany, France. It is often considered one of the richest pastries in the world because it is made with just a few simple ingredients in generous proportions: bread dough, butter, and sugar. Figuring we needed a few more sweets for the road, we took all the remaining Kouign-Amanns. Two were the traditional version, and the other two were filled with crème and blueberry jam. We also ordered a Café Americano and a Café Mocha. While we waited for our drinks, I simply couldn't wait any longer. Like a kid on Christmas morning, I eagerly opened my gift and dug right into the Kouign-Amann. Hesitantly, I tore off a tiny piece with my fingers, expecting nothing extraordinary, and instantly gave birth to a brand-new experience that exploded in my mouth. The crisp exterior gave way to the soft, flaky center, followed by waves of what tasted like delicate honey. I tore off another piece and shared it with my wife. One look at her eyes told me she wanted more. By the time our drinks were ready, we had devoured one of the Kouign-Amanns and confessed to the gentleman behind the counter that we had just experienced pure ecstasy in the form of a pastry. Kouign-Amann is, in fact, one of the richest pastries in the world, so don't let the unfamiliar name keep you from trying one. The Café Americano and the Café Mocha were also exceptionally well prepared. With everything that's happening in the world these days, a simple yet profound experience like this reminded me how wonderful life can still be. Like Arnold said... "I'll be back." Enjoy!

    I stopped off and had to have the chocolate mousse sponge cake. It's gluten-free and I will tell…read moreyou they have a lot of really delicious things to try. The croissant selection is incredible. I love the indoor seating, but they also have outdoor seating. I washed it down with a short Americano, two shots and I threw in some extra cream.

I have to tell you this chocolate mousse cake is the right portion otherwise I would eat the whole thing in this case the powers that be more wise and gave me a slice and Man was it delicious.
