TOAST — Restaurant in Manchester

My partner and I visited TOAST to grab some brunch on the go and I could not recommend it enough. The food was great, hot and tasty and the coffee is really good too. The portions are amazing for the price. The best thing about this place though is the service. The ladies behind the counter were so friendly and lovely, we will definitely be returning there again. Thank you for the yummy breakfast ciabatta!

⬇️⬇️ Update, second visit Nov 2021(with photos)

Took some friends who were visiting us from Wales to TOAST for a good ol' fry up and coffee this morning, and we all left with full happy bellies. 3 TOAST breakfasts and a chicken chorizo melt, all were delicious. Very reasonable price for what you get and for the quality of the food. Only one minor moment, where a waitress was a bit rude, when we politely mentioned when our food arrived that we hadn't had our coffees yet, as she stated "well we're actually a bit busy" which of course we could see, and we've all worked in cafes/restaurants so we know what it's like and felt we didn't quite deserve the comment. We were only trying to let her know. But as I said - we've all had the experience of how stressful it can get when it gets busy and it didn't ruin the morning overall.

**UPDATE: Third visit was an absolute let down. This is very unfortunate. We were only a table of two. We were overlooked to be served, with several tables around us having their orders taken despite coming in well after we did. They were very busy and understaffed as it seemed, so we weren't able to catch someone's attention to ask them because they were having to rush around. We waited for an hour, and still hadn't received our food. All we ordered were 2 breakfasts and 2 filter coffees. The coffee was lukewarm. A really...

NOT ALLERGEN SAFE Ordered a "vegan sausage melt" and "iced americano", told the waitress I have a really severe dairy allergy, I can't eat any milk products and I have an epipen, she offered me dairy free alternative milks for my coffee so clearly understood what I meant. Turns out the "vegan sausage melt" is actually melted cheddar cheese with vegan sausage, fun times ahead. Had an anaphylactic reaction, (also a minor panic attack because you know, potential imminent death) used my epipen, paramedic came and said my vitals were good, thanks to the adrenaline so didn't take me to A&E due to covid. I had multiple secondary reaction symptoms, collapsed/nearly passed out, second ambulance called and was then hospitalised, medicated and monitored for a further 5 hrs before being discharged w more meds. The entire experience was horrific, I haven't consumed that much dairy in years, they put my life at risk and made me very ill for several days because of misleading labelling and inadequate allergen training.

So yeah, if you have an allergy I would not recommend visiting until they've retrained the staff, better labelled the menu and all of the staff start taking allergies much more seriously.

On the plus side, although poisonous, the sandwich was absolutely delicious and due to near death got my meal for free and although that doesn't cover the cost of the replacement epipen, it was still a...

Called in while waiting for my partner. Had scrambled egg on toast and a flat white. They know how to make them properly! 6oz cup, double espresso and lovely foam. Wanted to give them 1 star cos I got exactly what I ordered, scrambled egg on toast, but then saw some of their reviews with pics of their full English Breakfast and Gourmet Burgers, etc [hint]. That would be unfair though as I should have done my bloody research first! 🤣 Didn't do a proper review of their Google Maps profile, bet they probably don't have it set up right like everyone else. Did suggest they say thank you to reviews though (especially the spud comment about the manager), keyword stuff to help the algorithm and show up for the items that make them money. This is their test and if they can find my reviews/brands, by following my name [ffs] they may learn a thing or two. But, the best thing about my first visit is the little dynamo of joy who calls everyone 'darling'. Wanted to take her home, but am not sure what my partner might say! 🤣 In case you couldn't work it out, they sell more than just blinkin' toast! 🤣 #RaiseTheFrequency to #SaveThePlanet P.S. Pay them in cash or you'll end up with #DigitalCurrency and you'll end up like those poor buggers in #China. Think it through... P.p.s - had to have an Americano and Chocolate Brownie too. Where the hell is 'Jodi Anne Law'? Costing me a...
