We had a good breakfast here with the classic breakfast, $5 scramble croissant and a breakfast taco. The $5 scramble croissant was all I needed with my coffee. The prices were reasonable and the food was good. It reminded me of our breakfast when I was a kid. Nice cafe style look to the place and the menu had variety so I'll go back. The guy at the counter was very personable. read more

Small quaint little Cafe in the middle of nowhere. Street parking available. I ordered a biscuit and a parfait. The parfait work fresh fruit and granola was delish but who can really mess up a parfait? I ordered biscuit with white gravy. The biscuit is like Pillsbury out of the can, fried on each side to make it seem it's fresh from scratch, there's no way it is, and if it is, it needs work to improve it! The gravy was also seemingly not from scratch. All in all i can't say I'd be in a hurry to return to this place. Also the service was so slow and it's not like they were busy, and it's not like everything was from scratch. read more

We went here as a mutual brunch place to meet with our friends. I love the location but wish they had parking with cooperative parking app. It's typical downtown issues. I wish they had more staff to assist him because it's not fun waiting for our food when it's just us. Our latte took forever. I will say I do appreciate his help with the fruit cup as an appetizer for us while we wait for our food. He was helpful with the water in the water station. The banana foster French toast was delicious. I was happy about it. I always love going to local places so the ambiance is nice. read more

I've been here twice. First time I was just because it showed up in the "food near me" section so my friend and I gave it a shot. Walk in and greeted by the person at the front immediately. The restaurant has an old jazz/mom and pop feel to it. Unfortunately, everything on the menu looked AMAZING. So we had to order a couple of different things and share it. We got the chicken and waffles (chicken tenders), the eggs and bacon with an English muffin, and the fresh juices. Service was a little slow, but everything was made to order and I believe only one person was working in the kitchen, so hats off to him bc idk how he does it! The wait was WELL worth it bc the food was AMAZING. Came back a second time about a month later and the guy at the front remembered me! This time I get the eggs Benedict and it was literal perfection. I'll be back again to try everything on the menu!! read more

Toasterz Cafe - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

Toaster's Café in Houston absolutely delivered. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese with extra egg and extra bacon on a croissant, plus tater tots and a pancake. The food was exceptional. I honestly didn't think an Uber Eats order would arrive so fresh and so hot, but everything was perfect. The tater tots were crispy, the bacon, egg, and cheese on the croissant was full of flavor, and you can tell they understood the assignment. They actually took their time making this sandwich because it is delicious without question. Definitely order from this spot. Five stars all the way. read more

Nice atmosphere, felt clean with great vibes. I believe it is the owner who runs the whole show, taking orders & preparing the food so it's nice to see him have a steady flow of customers to support his spot. The chicken & waffles were delicious, the chicken tenders were battered perfectly! I had an iced mocha and it wasn't as sweet as I personally like but my husband thought it was great. I'd recommend this cute breakfast/brunch spot read more

Went and they were closed even though it says "open" on Apple Maps AND Yelp. Very disappointing.

This is a very cozy, welcoming place! The owner is very knowledgeable of his menu and makes superb recommendations at the drop of a dime. He recommended the iced chai latte, and y'all! The flavor is just amazing from top to bottom! I ordered the shrimp and grits and they are the best that I have ever had, my goodness! They're portioned perfectly between the grits, shrimp, and the savory sauce. Just a wonderful combo. The biscuit and gravy that I ordered were superb, the biscuit was flaky and soft like it came from an oven in heaven. I asked the owner about the tips (didn't know he was the owner, he's so down-to-earth), and he stated that he gives them to his staff. Impressive, sir! I need to try the entire menu, we will see you soon! read more

Loved the food I got the pancakes and my boyfriend got the cheese grits, the owners seemed really nice!

My family came here after googling a good breakfast near us. It was delicious, service was Supreme! I will be returning when back in town read more

Ok.. another one of my foodie friends put me on to the place. Came here on a Sunday with three others. Honestly, I almost missed this place because of where it's located. It's right next to the bail bonds place. There is parking on the street all around this place. Just be mindful of what day it is and what time because of the meter situation. This is a no frills kinda place. Clean and organized. There's kind of a coffee bar but I am not sure of what the options are because I never saw the window. I always try a classic breakfast - hash browns were shredded potatoes. They do have a turkey sausage option. I added my own salt and pepper . The rest of the group had chicken and waffles, French toast and bacon, and eggs Benedict. The chicken from the chicken and waffles I hear is pretty good! No complaints from the eggs Benedict. And the French toast was devoured! So don't let the outside deter you! read more

Fridays are usually the favorite day of the week for most working professionals. Fridays signify the end of a hard work week and every two Fridays, one can normally see a nice deposit in their bank account for their hard work. Fridays also tend to be the day where one hour lunches can turn into an hour and half lunches due to workers (who potentially just got paid) wanting to visit a new lunch spot or go back to a lunch spot that may be farther away than a Tuesday lunch spot. Three of my coworkers and I decided to venture out today and visit Toasters on the recommendation of someone in our party who said the chicken and waffles was the bomb the last time he came here for lunch. We arrived and there two other patrons in the restaurant waiting for to go orders. We walked up to the counter to order, not really needing to look at the menu because of the aforementioned chicken and waffle recommendation. Two of my coworkers ordered the chicken and waffles and a drink for a total of $17 for each order. In my opinion, a little pricey for a place that serves four waffle triangles and 2 wings. I step up to the counter and also order the chicken and waffles with a water. The cashier mentions that the water is only bottled (this is one of my pet peeves with restaurants when you can't just have a glass of water and are required to purchase a water bottle but that is just personal preference). I complete my $14 transaction for chicken and waffles and a water bottle and our last coworker behind me asks if I got the chicken tenders or the chicken wings. I mention to him that I wanted to the wings because why would you ever want tenders over whole fried wings when ordering chicken and waffles. The cashier who just took my order says that I ordered the tenders even though I made no mention of tenders in my order. He just assumed I wanted tenders so I tell the cashier that I want wings and he changes the order in the kitchen. I go to our table and mention this conversation to my other two coworkers who ordered before me and ask them if they ordered the wings or tenders. They say that they didn't specify because they just assumed it was wings and not tenders. I went back to look at the menu and it does mention that it is either tenders or wings but not once did the cashier ask us if we wanted tenders or wings. It makes a lot of sense to serve tenders over wings by default because of cost. Our last coworker who ordered specifically asked for wings so we waited in anticipation of what was about to come out from the kitchen. We see the cashier come to our table with the 4 trays of chicken and waffles and sure enough, there are two orders with tenders and two orders with whole wings. One of coworkers felt scammed in the moment and asked if he could get a refund to which the cashier responded that all sales are final and there are no refunds. There is a sign at the counter that says this. It would have been nice if the cashier had offered a substitute meal of equal value, but all he did was mention there are no refunds, drop the food on the table (not even in front of my coworker), and walk away. The chicken wings were actually decent and crispy. The waffle was a little soft for my liking but in the syrup, it tasted ok because sugar makes everything taste better (except chicken tenders). The wings are the only reason this review is 2 stars and not 1 star. The tenders looked sadder than a chicken on its way to the slaughter house. The tenders were not crispy and almost ghost white. We did not see the cashier a single time the whole time after the food was dropped off. The picture attached here shows the difference between the wings and tenders. I would not recommend this place for people in a hurry as the food took 17 minutes to come out in an empty restaurant (we were the only ones in the restaurant along with one other person who ordered after us). If you do decide to come and try the chicken, specifically ask for wings as the chicken and not the tenders. We will not be coming back here. I asked my coworker who got tenders what he would rate this place on a scale of 1-10 and he said, "If I could give it less than 1, I would." It feels like they were being deceptive by not asking us whether we wanted tenders or wings. There are so many other good chicken and waffle places in Houston. Visit those instead! read more

My chicken was cooked perfect. Be ready to add your own seasoning or sauces. My waffles was the bomb! I was hungry folks so it did hit the spot. The service was nice, smiling faces all around.

The wait for the good took to long. Almost an hour. The food itself is mediocre for the price. The biscuits tasted like pillsbury biscuits. It's small and nice location. They just need to be a bit better in time and quality of food. The waffles were ok at best. But with all that said. The service by the lady at the counter was great. She was very sweet. read more

Great food! My lady and I enjoyed the French toast and banana stir French toast. Solid service on top of that food came out quickly which was nice. read more

The food was amazing, great size portions and flavorful. I had the banana pecan foster French toast with grilled ham and a side of hash browns with cheese and one scrambled eggs. The service was good I had a question and the cashier answered as best as he could, this establishment you seat yourself and then order at the counter and the waitress bring your food. The place is a laid back establishment nice and cozy. I would definitely return to try something else on the menu. read more

Of all the places for breakfast to eat in the downtown Houston area we ended up unfortunately at this place. Only people in the cafe... Walked in and we were not greeted, Owner didn't care that he had customers. We sat down at the side table realized no one was coming to take our order. He asked how to order and he just points at the menu. After waiting 25 minutes for our food, we ordered basic plate of biscuits eggs bacon and an omelet. Was all pretty disappointing. Not to mention they have the annoying MSNBC news station blaring while you're trying to "enjoy" your breakfast. Not worth the bill or $9 parking we paid. read more

Everything was great. Our food was great. The atmosphere was great. The service was great. We like/loved it and hope to go back. The only reason I did not give it 5 starts is because one of our egg plates was really salty. They must have forgot they put salt like 2 times. But that was just one plate. Everything else was awesome! read more

If you blink, you'll miss it. This unassuming diner on San Jacinto just off I-10 and a true hidden gem. I went early one Sunday, just as they opened, and was immediately greeted as soon as we walked through the door. We were the only people there at 8 am which was perfect. It's open seating so you order at the counter and then sit wherever you want. Service was quick and the portions were huge. Neither of us could finish our food lol. This is a great place to stop in when you want a good, hearty diner breakfast or brunch. What we got is below. 1) Cinnamon French toast. Three ginormous sliced if perfectly cooked cinnamon french toast toped with a quarter cup if powdered sugar. It wasn't egg or undercooked in the middle. When I say perfect, that's what I mean. 2) Apple pecan pancakes. Two massive circles of fluffy buttery pancakes topped with cooked apples and chopped pecans. I didn't try them but my son devoured the leftovers so I'm certain they were just as good as the French toast. read more

The other reviews aren't wrong - this place really is easy to miss. Came here with 2 friends on a somewhat rainy Saturday. There was only one occupied table when we arrived. That being said, our server came up to us quickly. We ordered and the food didn't take very long to come out. I went with the French toast - which was actually a bit chewy and not something I would order again. The bacon was cooked very hard and was crunchy, but I like it like that so it was ok. My friend got chicken and waffles, chicken was seasoned pretty well and waffles were pretty good. He also got something else, not sure what it was called (see pic), and was unsure how to approach eating it bc the tortilla part was hard and not soft like he expected lol. He said the taste was pretty good though. The music/ambiance is slightly off. It almost sounded like elevator or church music playing which didn't watch the visual interior of the place. Would I go back? Probably not. It wasn't horrible, it just didn't leave anything that stood out to make me want to come back. read more

The walk up is modest and I suppose I should have recognized that having a bail bond company across the street was not a sign of haute cuisine, but I was hungry and the reviews were okay on Yelp, so in I went after paying $3 to park. Orders are placed at the register next to the Line Forms Here sign. 'Nuff said The limited menu had some offering that looked good and the dining room is okay for a diner (nice mural of a jazz quintet and blue eyed soul on the radio when I was there). The chairs are quite comfortable, muffins and other sweet treats look good, and the coffee was a pleasant surprise. It had some nut flavor additive b it didn't taste metallic and was not burned. The coffee is recommended. My omelette was adequate but uninspired and provided the necessary protein for a day; but the hash browns were undercooked and the biscuit was a mess with a soft, doughy texture on the outside before the cook split and fried it on the griddle. The result was a kind of bad brioche toast with no texture and overly sweet flavor. Your grandmother would not approve. In short, come in for the coffee at $2.49 and consider a muffin, but avoid water at $1.49 per bottle! read more

After going to several places with more than an hour wait time we decided to hit up yelp and look for another brunch location in the area. The location was a little bit hard to find, but when we arrive I was a point little restaurant that had zero wait time. SCORE! I ordered the Waffle with sausage patties and I ordered an additional scrambled egg. What I loved about this place was that there was no one there, the ambience was quiet and just what we needed for a girls brunch with the bestie. The only thing I can complain about is that this is not a tableservice restaurants you have to get up to get your coffee and water and silverware which is not a big deal but when you're in full-blown conversation. That gets a little annoying. The cool thing though was that the owner introduced himself and his conversation it really showed a lot of passion for the restaurant, and that was pretty neat. The food was so satisfying and I would definitely return in the future. read more

Toasters Cafe Nice little cozy spot they play great music had the place mostly to myself since everyone is possibly thinking to sleep in due to the rain Hash a tad on the salty side but still great I don't normally like scrambled but add the salt and pepper and they have tapatio hot sauce and omg so good toast is really good and doesn't even need the butter the coffee is oh soooo good overall for being in a carafe so they are known for their pecan bananas foster French toast and it is on French bread omg heavenly Eric the front registrar came to my table and offered me more coffee he said he wasn't sure of the flavor however they have it shipped from Mexico omg no wonder it was amazing I had the best experience here he mentioned his mom had been working here since the first owners and they've changed a couple of times and this last one is trying to make up for the previous owners mistake he said the bread is fresh and they previously butter it so that answered one of my questions and he offered me a business card and lunch menu for review and they also cater. So he is trying to help make this place great again..Their prices are very reasonable for being in downtown if I had any suggestions for the new owner I would say just update a little of the artwork this little cozy cafe has great potential love every moment of it. read more
