There were a only a few tables, there since it was a weekday and in the late morning. I 'm not one for a sweet breakfast so, I didn 't get their sweet options: no pancake orgy or stuffed French toast for this guy. I went with their Breakfast burger which sounded really good but when I got it was just ok for me. The patty seemed pretty small, especially since the french 'bolo ' bread was pretty big, it seemed no different than a ciabatta to me so I didn 't understand the distinction. The sandwich was pretty bland; the prosciutto seemed like an airplane cold cut sandwich and the pesto mayo was just...green. I 'll try a little harder to find a breakfast place on a weekday morning.

I've never had a disappointing meal there, whether I’m enjoying the eggs Benedict with steak or the breakfast burrito; the food quality and portion sizes always impress me. They also offer a nice kids' menu, but I recommend skipping the s'mores pancakes unless you want your child to go wild with sugar afterward. The service is top-notch, and the food arrives promptly. Plus, they have crayons and paper for the little ones. I give them 4 stars instead of 5 because, while I really enjoy their brunch, there isn't a standout dish that I absolutely love or crave. I choose Toast for its reasonable prices, good food, and minimal wait times.

The French toast orgy was pretty heavy, but a bit disappointing the flavors mixed in a bad way for me and I couldn't pinpoint the flavor it was going for. My friend got the Benedict's and they were much more pleasant. But overall I feel like this place was just alright

I had scrambled cheesy eggs with pesto sauce and Chai tea. While my guest had an apple, pear and gruyere cheese crepe with coffee. Everything was good expect the crepe was extremely lacking. The fruit inside wasn't warm or cooked it was left raw and cold. The bill came out to $30 and wasn't worth it. I hope to come back to try a specialty dish.

The tables are equipped with umbrellas for shade, but the trees provided enough cover so we didn't need them. The menu is straightforward, just one page long, making it easy to navigate and very descriptive of each dish. The scrambled eggs caught our attention since they seemed popular on Yelp, so my wife and I each picked a different scramble. She chose the prosciutto and pesto, while I went with chorizo and cheddar. Both were fantastic! The portion sizes and seasoning were spot on, making each dish a winner. Since these were just our first tries, we’re excited to return and sample more options. I also ordered the Stuffed French Toast, which I got as a kids’ portion (one slice), with the full order being two pieces. The French toast was filled with a sweet cheese—possibly mascarpone?—and it was incredible! Drizzling it with syrup took it to another level, a delightful explosion of flavors in every bite. The service was excellent, definitely a 5 out of 5. The recommendation to go for the single slice of stuffed French toast was perfect, especially considering the large portions of the scramble. We will certainly be back! If you’re looking for a fantastic brunch spot in Chicago, TOAST is the place to go.
