Toast Gastrobrunch - Carlsbad

My partner and I typically do a Sunday brunch every week. We try to try new places every week, but we’ve been here three times just because the drinks and food are so good. The prices are very reasonable, specialty mimosas are $11 and the cocktails are all $13. I’ve had one of almost everything and the lavender lady is probably my favorite. I usually always get the stuffed French toast combo, and I can’t recommend it enough! The passion fruit caramel is divine and I scrape my plate clean every time. It’s so good! We do a few drinks, that’s why our meal was a little more. The staff are all friendly, I have yet to have a negative experience here. You do want to use the yelp waitlist. We didn’t once and waited about 45 minutes to sit. But this last time it told us to check in by 1:07, we got there at 12:55 and checked in, we weren’t expecting to be seated, but they had a table ready right then. It get very busy, every single table is usually occupied til close, so there is a wait time for things, but it’s nothing ridiculous.

I 'm not sure whether Toast is a chain or not but this place is magical in achieving something that no other diner nor American cuisine delivers. It manages a creative top-notch diner-style menu in an above-average farm/cabin atmosphere, with generous portions and actually great ingredients. Let me explain. You go to a Dennys or iHop, you have delicious sounding pancakes or Frenchtoast or other breakfast favorites, but when they come out, the bread isn 't fluffy and the sausages are thing and crinkled. Also you start thinking about the cleanliness and the quality of even the coffee. Toast delivers innovative and original takes on pancakes, Frenchtoast and more. And the pancakes are actually thick and fluffy. Frenchtoast is with an actual brioche. And the sausages are fat and thick and juicy. Yes, Toast costs more than your average diner but no where else will you be able to find a joint maniacally focused on serving a great brunch (the kids go crazy) at a lovely atmosphere. Oh yes, you must try 'The Elvis '. I won 't spoil it for you.

Stopped in here as I was on vacation in California. The staff members were pleasantly nice very polite. We ordered a bunch of different things on the menu to try. The food was pretty good! Great portions and very fresh! We had a little issue with our cheeseburger, we didn’t want bacon on it and it came out with bacon. We asked the server if they can change the burger out and they did but we came to find out they just removed the bacon off the burger and missed a strip under the lettuce. I didn’t like that at all and we ended up only taking one bite out the burger. The restaurant refunded us for the burger but didn’t seem very concerned about it. But overall great experience with the other food.

Very nice place right off of Palomar Airport Rd. Freshly squeezed orange juice complimented the sandwich I had although mimosas and **** Marys were appealing. Very nice a clean atmosphere shows that the business takes pride in its service and clientele. Funny plug: I needed a pen and bought the check pen from our waitress. Probably an odd question for her but when ya need a pen ya need a pen

I read reviews for most restaurants when traveling so that I can enjoy the local delights, knowing I may not be back to this area. I read a few reviews and focused on the photos presented. One review said they didn’t know what all the fuss was about, but the photo they shared looked amazing! So, I checked it out. Smoked Salmon toast with capers, fresh dill, pickled onions and a jalapeño cream cheese. Oh. My. Goodness It was so well prepared. I evenly distributed the additives for every bite. I couldn’t have been more satisfied. I ordered a side of bacon (because you typically can’t go wrong with bacon) yet again: delish! Thick bacon absolutely wonderful! The ingredients this restaurant uses speaks to the care they provide as well as the design of the layered meal. Thank you for exceptional service, smooth jazz playing in the background and wonderful food!
