    Crab Benedict
    Karen Rae S.

    Food is great and outside seats have a nice view of Downtown Pacific Grove. It's a decent size place but it can get crowded with a wait on the weekends, though not too bad. Loved the crab Benedict and the different options for mimosas!

    Eggs over easy with bacon and pancakes
    Diana G.

    Decided to stop by here to fuel up pre cycling adventure, apparently it was a busy Sunday despite the cold weather. Wait was a little long but food was decent, service was slow Our group of 6 was seated outside in the back area. They did not have room for us inside. There was no heat lamp and area was unfortunately foggy and cold at the time. Food and coffee took a while to get to the table. Felt like maybe the server forgot about us being out side in the back seating area.

    Homemade corned beef with potatoes and English muffin
    LauraFoodmaven V.

    Love this place. Just happened to find it by accident last Sunday. We were seated right away and the staff was helpful and friendly. It's a busy little local place... I ordered the corned beef and it's made from scratch served with potatoes and toast. It was so delicious all corned beef will be now judged by their standard. My husband had their waffle with a side of bacon and egg. Both were excellent. It's a quiet and clean establishment and if you're lucky to have a window seat, it adds to the ambiance. We will definitely be returning on our next visit.

    Stopped in today to have breakfast with my niece, it wasn't super busy & we were able to sit down right away, the coffee was tasty, we both ordered the pancake special, i had bacon, she had sausage, i want to try lunch next time

    Pancake and eggs Benedict
    Ali I.

    Outside patio pet friendly, amazing kind services, quick and we barely waited. Walked past the other cafes and breakfast spots in town and the waitlist was outrageous we walked a little further down the street and Toasties had us seated quickly and our food was not only quick but extremely delicious. Will be going back.

    Spanish omelette topped with salsa and sour cream. And six tiny pancakes.

    My husband ordered the homemade chicken fried steak with potatoes and toast. I ordered the Spanish omelette with green chilies, onions, and cheddar cheese topped with salsa and sour cream. The food was great! The service was great, and nice little spot to enjoy small town hospitality. We will definitely be back.

    Good breakfast and brunch place with many choices. Generous portions and reasonable prices. Cute cottage like building with homey and warm at atmosphere. Friendly service. Good coffee that they refill.

    Meditteranean salad w/ grilled chicken (very good)
    Joe P.

    Toasties is in DT Pacific Grove. We stopped by after playing golf at Spyglass in nearby Pebble Beach. They offer bfast & lunch in a casual setting. I had the Mediterranean salad w/ chicken (up charge). Three friends ordered sandwiches and one ordered bfast. The salad tasted very good, and the amount of chicken was good vs the up charge (I believe its $2). In addition, the produce was fresh. Nonetheless, the portion of salad vs the price was high IMHO. Our waitress was super nice and hardworking. She handled our table of 5 w/ no problem. All in all, a very positive experience. I look forward to trying something heavier next time like country fried steak.

    Menu

    The food was just alright, we got the French toast and the breakfast burritos. The service however, was worth five stars. They were very kind and attentive. This is a classic diner feel and is cute. A good place to eat at before heading to lover's point or the natural history museum.

    Italian sausage omelette
    Jen D.

    Hubby and I ordered the banana pecan pancake and Italian sausage omelette so we can enjoy the both and we loved them both! The kids loved their food as well- French toast specials and strawberry pancakes. It's a good sized cottage turned into a restaurant. The place is older but it's clean and run by pleasant and helpful staff.

    Excellent food, service, and quaint ambiance!…read more I hadn't been here before and my friends found it on Yelp so you know I was on board. We were sat right away and offered drinks, orders taken, and food came out quickly. I had the smoked salmon benedict, which is one of my go to's for breakfast. My friends both had the classic country breakfast. My only, and very minor compaint, is that my food came out a little cold. I was surprised because it did come out seemingly fast. Cold food is one of my pet peeves, but I didn't feel like sending it back. Even as a semi cold meal my food was very good! Even the oven roasted potatoes it came with were bomb. We were tended to consistently between the bussers and servers who all worked together. The service was very fast and friendly. I would definitely return and highly recommend this place for breakfast.

My husband always orders the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich which comes with a very generous serving of pork slices. The flavors of the pork, the caramelized sweet onions, roasted red peppers & sage aioli just meld so well together. Can't wait to try some of their other dishes!

I ordered the broiled oysters with garlic chili oil to start. We also got the Caesar to split. My husband ordered the chicken dish, while I had the crab arancini as my entree. They were busy when we got there, but slowly people started to leave. Our server took awhile to greet us, but we understood. The oysters were so disappointing. The garlic chili oil was drowned out by toasted sesame oil (which I hate) and they were almost inedible. The sesame oil was not listed in the description on the menu, or I would have passed. Hard. Also, whoever shucked the oysters, didn't remove the whole body from the shell ( big no no) so I was fighting with my fork to release them. I worked at an oyster bar for years and shucked my fair share of them. It was hard to cleanse my palate of the sesame oil, because it was so overpowering. The Caesar was fine, nothing to write home about. The crab arancini was the best thing that I had. Really crispy and delicious. My husband was very disappointed with his dish. He is a chef of 30+ years and was excited to try the Demi glacé that was listed on the menu. What came out was chicken broth with so much garlic that it was also overpowering. The menu also said that the carrots and potatoes were roasted, but all of the veg had been boiled. So, everything was the same boiled texture and it was very unpleasant for him. He did let our server know. Our server ( a younger woman - didn't get her name) never asked how the food was. I don't know if she just didn't want to know, or what. She also never refilled my husband's empty water glass and didn't ask if I would like another glass of sparkling wine when she dropped off our entrees, even though my glass was empty, The one nice thing is that they gave us a complimentary coffee/chocolate dessert to celebrate our anniversary. Unfortunately, by this time, we were ready to go. We will not be returning. Fix your menu and make sure the kitchen is preparing food the way it's described.

The fact that the chicken sandwich and one of the more niche burger options were so good makes me think that their whole, eclectic range of menu options are pretty good. The staff were extremely friendly and seemed truly proud of the food they were cooking (talking about the ingredients in the chicken marinade, for instance, just a level of involvement above and beyond the type of restaurant), which along with a fun kitschy 50s and 60s theme led to a great overall atmosphere.
