(Last visited July 22, 2023.) Just finished up at the gym and we used to go to a sandwich shoppe called Lou & Mo's but they unfortunately closed. However, that has now forced us to find somewhere new! Here's how it went on my 2nd visit! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right "downtown" Newington is this gem. It's at the very beginning or the end depending on your direction of travel. The parking here is... strange. If you park right here or where the GoldBurgers is next door you'll have to pull out or back out onto the main road. However, if you park further "into" the plaza then you're much safer. There's also a giant parking lot right behind all of the local businesses here. Once inside it's clear that this is a takeout spot. There isn't even a place to sit down in here, but there are some chairs/tables directly outside. Service: There isn't much service since you just order at the counter and wait for your food for to come out. The people were friendly though. Food: The first time I came here I had a spicy steak & cheese sandwich that I really loved so this time I tried the Bronx Bomber, which is pastrami, Swiss cheese, red onion, coleslaw, horseradish and mayo on a grilled rye bun. It was warm and toasted. I loved the crunch from the bread, the creaminess from the coleslaw and horseradish, but the pastrami was delicious! Salty, hearty and meaty. Very good sandwich and I look forward to checking them out again in the future! Value: It's a sandwich shop so prepare to spend up to $15.00 for a nice, filling sandwich. They have many more things to offer as this is a bakery of sorts as well! Make sure to check this place out when you're in the area! You won't be disappointed. read more

Toasted Oat Cafe - Bronx Bomber - Sandwiches Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

I can't believe I hadn't ordered from here before--especially since it's so close to home! I finally tried it and was so impressed. I had a gluten-free breakfast sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious! The place is very clean and designed for takeout only, as there are no tables. Their menu is fantastic, offering customizable bowls and sandwiches made from a great selection of ingredients. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try a breakfast bowl next time! Staff at the front taking orders, she was friendly too! If you love breakfast or lunch and are gluten-free, this spot is a must-try. Highly recommend their sandwiches! read more

Toasted Oat Cafe - Gluten Free bacon egg and cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

Came for the 1st time mid morning on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy so I was happy about that. I ordered a bacon, egg, & cheese on a gluten free roll with added avocado. Definitely spent more than I would've liked to on a breakfast sandwich but let me tell you that sandwich was worth it. I enjoyed every bite. The bacon was made just how I liked it. Everything blended well and they had the gluten free roll that I like. I definitely plan on coming back here, I'm also interested in trying some of their lunch sandwiches. It is a take out place no indoor seating. There was some seating outside. I definitely did not follow my gps correctly and went into the wrong parking lot and the lots are a one way so just walked a bit. Later, I found out it wasn't crowded because everyone apparently was at Costco that day. I do recommend checking out toasted oat cafe for a sandwich! read more

So, it's been a good while since I first reviewed the Toasted Oat; and, I've been there many times, since then. I must confess, however, that each time I've been there, since, I've had the same thing. I know; I see your fingers waving at me in scorn, as you remind me that limiting myself to a single menu item limits my overall perception of any given place; but, rather than issuing what would be a disengenuous appology, let me say that, today, I boldly ordered something different. Today, I ordered the Whole Hog Burrito. But, let's not get ahead of ourselves. When I arrived, there were no less than six people in front of me. Two had already ordered; the rest were either in the process of ordering, or just trying to choose from the menu. This lead to my overall wait time to being a bit longer than usual, about twenty minutes, judging by the fact that the laundry I left at the laundromat down the street was finished by the time I returned to it. Trust me, it was worth the wait. As I said earlier, today, I ordered the Whole Hog Burrito. The white totilla was stuffed with egg, cruncy bacon, crisp onion, juicy sausage (as the stain on my brand new shirt gives testament to) cheddar cheese and chipotle mayonaise. The black pepper did stand out without overtaking the other flavors. In fact, each ingredient was singularly recognizable, while blending together to form the best tasting breakfast wrap I can recall. It was that good; hence, the added star, which may seem out of sorts for a place with no indoor seating. Was it filling? Well, let me say this: I skipped lunch and had a light dinner. I just wasn't all that hungry, the rest of the day Including tax, but not tip (yes, I did tip) the total came to fourteen dollars and change, which, frankly, I would have expected to pay more for. read more

Finally decided to stop here for lunch today and wow what a sandwich. I ordered the West Coast on Rye with a scrambled egg, avocado, and bacon and it was packed with flavor! It was recommended to me I try it next time with the garlic mayo and I absolutely will next time. The cafe was welcoming and had that warm cafe vibe, not to forget the people working were super nice. The menu had a lot of variety and customizations you can order in person or online. Wraps, salads, and power bowls included. Very fresh and very delicious! read more

Located in Downtown Newington (next to GoldBurgers) - this breakfast and lunch spot is a great addition to the area. I had heard good things from fellow Yelpers and finally the day arrived when I wanted a breakfast sandwich and the hubs wanted a lunch sandwich and Toasted Oat filled both our cravings. The hubs ordered the Bronx Bomber and I did a DIY Egg white Sando with swiss, peppers and onions. The have several sides including tots AND Sweet potato tots - they get kudos just for that menu addition. I placed the order on line and it was ready when I headed over to grab it. It's a cute spot with no seating to speak of, which was fine by me. When we dug into the sandwiches we both commented that the ratio of fillings was perfect. The sandwiches were grilled but not greasy in the least. My sandwich did not look pretty but was just what the hunger doctor ordered. I wished that the tots were a bit more seasoned and firm but dont worry I "suffered through" and ate them. I will definitely have to head back to try some of the other sandwich and bowl options. It's a great addition to the area. read more

What a great breakfast place! I ordered the "Good Morning Burrito," with 2 full eggs instead of egg whites. This was so satisfying and delicious. The combination of sweet potato and feta, with the sauce... mmmm! Chief's kiss. There are numerous items that I want to try, like the Unlawful Waffle. Of course, there are also lunch offerings! Healthy and yummy, cooked and ready pretty quickly. Looking forward to returning. read more

Good sandwich. Good service . Ordered a custom tuna order and came out fresh and delicious.

Toasted Oat Cafe ("TOC") just opened its second location in Newington Center. Based upon the 75 reviews and a 4.5 Star rating in Yelp, it appears that the Canton TOC must be beloved. The Newington TOC is in the former Five and Dime space, next to Goldburgers. They offer takeout for breakfast and lunch, although there are some outside cafe tables during warmer times. Their breakfast items include sandwiches, scrambles and bowls. On a prior day, I asked for suggestions and co-owner Seth mentioned the Reuben Bowl with pastrami, eggs, Swiss, kraut, sauce and tater tots. This morning, I ordered the Reuben Bowl, and my wife ordered a West Coast Sandwich via the Toast App. Ordering and pick up were seamless. I saw Seth again and felt very welcome. Although TOC is just takeout, TOC looks really nice for a takeout place. TOC perfectly executed the Reuben Bowl. Pastrami CAN be too salty and kraut CAN be too briny. Both were right on at TOC. The Swiss cheese tasted great and was well melted. The Russian Dressing tasted homemade and as good as I've had. The eggs were right at my over medium order. The tots were crispy and held up well. I'll tell you right now. You have every reason to expect that TOC's pastrami Reuben will be one of the best around. My wife called her West Coast Breakfast Sandwich delicious, and she doesn't throw that word around. I think it had bacon, egg, hash browns, cheese and avocado and she ordered it on Wheat Toast. It looked great. TOC's lunch items include sandwiches and salads. Seth recommended the Club 44 (a super-charged club sandwich) and the Dillio (a homemade chicken salad sandwich with things such as cranberries and cashews). Just for fun, go to the counter and say, "Hey, What's the dillio?" Let me know what happens. This was a Five Star experience for me. Toasted Oat Cafe is exactly the kind of lunch and breakfast place that Newington has needed. read more

Been excited to check this place out when we heard they were taking over the old Five & Dime Canteen. We loved that spot and when the previous owners vouched for Toasted Oat, we knew we were in for a treat. Then my Yelp friend Jason P. checked it out right after they opened and I was sold! They are currently operating takeout only so we called ahead and our order was ready in 15 minutes - just the amount of time it takes us to get there. I ordered the West Coast but swapped the bread for a Portuguese muffin and added pesto mayo. It was incredible and not too heavy which I was afraid of. The hubby got the E-RITO which was absolutely packed! Prices are good and on par for other sandwich spots but not too overpriced as we've seen at some shops. Everything is about $10 each. We can't wait to make Toasted Oat a breakfast staple! Absolutely a welcomed addition to Newington. read more

Who needs diner food when there is the Toasted Oat!!! I just love the Toasted Oat Cafe. My 2 favorites are the E-Rito and the West Coast Sandwich. My son and I split the E-Rito. It packed with goodness. If you haven't stopped by yet, you won't be disappointed! read more

Toasted has become my go to spot for breakfast in the Newington area. Their breakfast bowls are clutch! I love the the combo of their eggs, your choice of protein and my favorite, the sweet potato tots!! And Don't let me get started on the garlic Mayo, I could literally drink the stuff. Their prices can get a little high, but with the economy everything is pricey everywhere. But the service is always solid and everyone is super cool at the shop. Definitely recommend checking them out for breakfast or lunch if you're in the area. read more

Get here early or make sure you order ahead. My family tried it on a Saturday and I loved my breakfast bowl with barley turkey ham sweet potatoes veggies and eggs so much, we went back for breakfast again that Sunday. Both husband and son reported sandwiches were tasty. No seating except for cafe tables outside, so for us it makes it easy to order ahead and grab and go. read more

This place is dangerously delicious and I'm thankful that it's one town over from me. Based on the reviews and photos I knew I would love Toasted Oat. I'm not sure if the guys who own Goldburgers (who owned the previous joint, Five and Dime canteen) also run Toasted Oat but it feels like it, in the best way. On an early Saturday in March I convinced my rarely-hungry-in-the-morning-wife to join me in ordering a breakfast sandwich from Toasted Oat. I am a HUGE savory breakfast sandwich fan and it was tough choosing between meat toppings, as I really do love sausage, pastrami and all of the meats. I ended up getting a simple (and delicious) two eggs, with ham, American cheese on a hard roll. The ham was super flavorful and sliced thin, exactly as I like it. My wife had eggs, bacon, aioli, spinach on her sandwich. We loved both. I also got a small side of tots (perfect size). The food was SO GOOD. The menu is beyond enticing. I am already planning another breakfast trip (pastrami bowl, you're looking good) and a lunch trip too. One thing to be mindful of, there's no indoor seating so you're taking it outside, taking it to the car, or taking it home. read more

Great breakfast sandwich options, flexible choices and prices! Whenever I'm in town I'll hit this place often in the am. Coffee was eh for a cafe but the sandwiches are 100% worth trying it out. Staff often friendly too. read more

Great first experience.... Have only ONE thing "I wished" about this breakfast nook. That it has SOME indoor eating. Maybe two small tables with two seats. I didn't like eating in my car. :( The food was great ... I had the west coast S'wich. There was one thing missing on the inside. Like a light sauce if some sort. But don't take that as a negative review because I liked it... A LOT "I liked it a lot!! ((Dumb and dumber voice)). My wife had the... The Packed Bowl!! And she LOVED IT A LOT!! "spectacular..." "you don't need Ketchup!" (That's a tshirt). Surprisingly the coffee was pretty good. Usually places like this, the coffee isn't up to par but this place was good in that department! Would I return? YES! Of course. read more

Was a little disappointed w/ coffee and breakfast saw wa%,ndwich. I had never been & was looking for a breakfast place. They have no indoor seating , but it was a nice day out & there were tables outside to eat.. I'm not sure how that would have gone if I had ordered waffles.. I loved that they had SOS because it is a GREAT hot sauce. However, it wasn't available to put on the food. They had a separate menu made up of 5 items already prepared with the sauce already. I'm pretty sure you could bring your food back in and have it added for a .50 cent upchanged, but I didn't expect the sandwich to be so bland. I got the pastrami w/ Swiss 2 essfs tomato , garlic mayo on a kaiser roll. I assessed salt & and peppers, and it still felt like it was lacking. it's true I could have had them add the sauce to spice it up, and it would have been better, but then it would be the sauce I was enjoying and not the food. the food should stand alone. the person who accompanied also said that their sandwich was bland or missing something, and she also used salt & pepper from inside. we also both agreed that the coffee was watery tasting as well.. like undrinkable watery. if i hadn't already paid $25. before tip, i might have asked for a shot of espresso, but honestly, i dont even think they offered it. The cheese was so thin that I wasn't even sure it was on the sandwich for both of our orders as well.. The only thing I tasted was the tomato & the scrambled egg. yes, scrambled, not. fried.. All & all I would not return, in the future I will just carry my own hot sauce. read more

Alright. Here we go. So many people has discussed the new location of Toasted Oat Cafe (TOC) from Canton, Connecticut. I ordered via telephone. The employee taking the order was very friendly and kind. The main situation or the bull in the China shop is that they DO NOT have bagels. I feel like this is a big blow for a breakfast menu. They only provide rolls or sliced bread. When I ordered, since they did not have a bagel, I ordered my breakfast in a wrap. The wrap with tax and tip was $14.88. Extremely expensive for one breakfast item. The actual "breakfast wrap" itself was dry and the red onions and spinach that I was charged an extra $2.50 for was not existent as you can see from the picture. Great service, minimal breakfast selection, extremely expensive to-go wrapped breakfast. 3 out of 5 stars. read more

This might be my new go-to breakfast spot . Recently opened in February, Toasted Oat Cafe is located right on Main Street Newington in the same building as GoldBurgers. Parking is fairly limited in front but there is a huge lot behind the building. I've been here twice already and both times have been greeted with super friendly staff that offered some suggestions as their menu has a ton of great choices. My first time going I ordered a Breakfast Bomb sandwich. Shaved steak, caramelized onion, mushrooms, and melty cheese packed in a griddled Kaiser roll. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the name of it to flavor bomb! My second time going I ordered the Whole Hog Burrito. Two eggs, bacon, ham, cheddar, pepper, grilled onion, hash brown & chipotle mayo swaddled in a soft and chewy tortilla. The chipotle Mayo added a nice kick to cut through the fattiness of the bacon and cheese while the hash brown gave the burrito an incredible crunch with every bite. (Side note: their caramelized onions are out of this world) There is no indoor seating so, right now, it seems like all the food is strictly to go. My first time stopping by was this past Saturday and the wait was a little over a half hour which wasn't ideal; however, it's difficult to anticipate staffing needs for a newly opened business. My visit today was quick (about 10 minutes) and easy. I'll definitely be back for some more delicious, flavor-packed breakfast food and to check out their lunch menu! read more

Small but homely breakfast joint with friendly staff and exceptional flavor. Check out all the local ads on their poster boards. Really connecting Newington flavor with fun. While the inside seating is basically zero the outdoor umbrella covered tables are perfect for a sunny day. I love the burritos and haven't decided on a favorite but whole-hog is definitely a good one to start. The #1 sandwich is my Pops favorite. Very fun atmosphere inside and the menu showcases their creative and fun mix on American breakfast/brunch. I can't get enough of their coffee and they even sell homemade hot sauce. I tell all my friends about this place and while it can get busy on the weekends. It's still fast to ordered and receive your tasty food. Check them out but look out for the hours. Only open Wednesday-Sunday 7am to 2pm. They know how to crack an egg! read more

Tater tots on a wrap?! For that the Toasted Oat has my whole heart! I asked the friendly cashier for a recommendation between the Hail Caesar and the Steak and Cheese, but as soon as they reminded me of the tots on the Hail Caesar I was sold. It's on the menu as a salad, but I was able to have it in a whole wheat wrap. This was a VERY flavorful wrap! The chicken was crispy and seasoned, and the lettuce balanced out the greasier chicken and tots so it wasn't totally sinful. The umami of the cheese and Caesar dressing sealed the deal! A filling, indulgent option without the food coma. I'm always looking for convenient weekday lunches that can be squeezed into an hour, and this is one. The service was quick and I was able to enjoy the sunny day in their outdoor seating area. I can't wait to come back to try breakfast and other sandwiches. read more

Its just a greasy spoon. Will not be returning. It appears that it wasn't think clean as I had to run to the bathroom shortly after eating

We stopped by for breakfast on a weekday and were not disappointed. Their food is tasty and the portions are plentiful. They also have a lot of shaded outdoor seating (thanks to huge trees) and easy parking. We ordered the Good Morning wrap (can't remember the exact name) and a kids waffle and meat (we substituted eggs for the meat and the meal comes with tater tots). The wrap was tasty with unique flavors. We'll definitely be coming back again soon hopefully! read more

Ordered 2 eggs scrambled, toast and a large coffee. $12+ (included 15% tip). 1 piece of toast, looked like 1 egg and medium size coffee. I dine at quite a few breakfast places, this seems to be the most overpriced for what they serve. Never had a restaurant include only 1 piece of toast, always 2. Eggs did not appear to be 2. 1st time customer and disappointed. read more

I stopped into this place for the first time and I'm so glad I did. I ordered a tuna melt to go, and I was worried that the bread would be soggy by the time I got home. It was all I could do to not open the sandwich on the way home it smelled so good. And when I got home and opened it, the cheese still had an amazing pull to it. But the thing that was the most surprisingly delicious about the sandwich was the pickled red onions, which gave it a sweet crunch that I absolutely loved. The bread was the superstar of the sandwich. I will definitely be going back. read more

Wow. Just had an outstanding breakfast burrito. All scratch made and no corners cut. Huge burrito too! I'll definitely be back.
