Toast Cafe — Restaurant in Sydney

The staff whom I interacted with at this venue were very friendly, efficient, and had great product knowledge. I was greeted the moment I stepped into the cafe, and quickly shown to table. When I was asked what I wanted to order, I asked what could be prepared quickly. Various wraps were suggested, I opted for a ham wrap. I also ordered a small flat-white coffee and a chocolate brownie.

While I waited for my meal, I took a moment to admire the interior decor of what I assumed was once a warehouse of some sort. I didn't have too long to take in the ambience before my meal was placed on my table. The coffee was hot and strong, very enjoyable. The choc brownie was, well, very chocolatey and delicious. The ham wrap, which had been toasted, was quite fresh and delicious, with some enjoying flavours. A very satisfying meal, prepared in a hurry !...

Perhaps I did not order the right things at Toast, or perhaps it was just one of those days. Whichever the case, my impressions of Toast were not that great.

Though I rated it 2 stars "dislike", I am more than open to trying out Toast again, but with so little time, who knows when that...

I went to Toast for lunch today. I had a linguine dish with prawns, chilli, garlic, lemon, capers and zucchini, which was delicious. One friend I was with had the wagyu burger and gave it rave reviews. The other had the Thai beef salad which was exceptionally dry. She asked for some more dressing and was initial told that was probably not possible, but was eventually brought a tiny dish of dressing - probably about 1-2 tablespoons, for a really big salad that seemed to not have any dressing on it to begin with. That aside, the food was otherwise delicious and the service was pretty good. Very reasonably priced. I like the flowers and plants inside - very cool. I would...
