Toast Whittier — Restaurant in Whittier

Took my girlfriend here for her Birthday brunch. We've always wanted to come but the place is always packed on weekends so we would put it off. Well, her birthday happened to be on a weekday this year so we finally got our chance to find out what all the consistent business was about.

First off, the atmosphere is very pleasant. Great lighting, and the inside is nice and minimalistic. There was outside seating that had plenty of shade and was secluded from the nearby parking lot and road by walls. I was tempted for the outside seats but we settled on the inside for some A/C and quiet. (The outside seems to be a popular choice.)

Our waiter, Michael, was really awesome. Very attentive, and he gave us great recommendations when we told him it was our first time. His big one was the House Eggs Benedict, but he also mentioned the Spanish omelette and a couple others favorites.

We both decided to have the House Eggs Benedict with country potatoes. To drink, she had their cucumber lemonade and I had their blood orange tea.

The blood orange tea was good. The cucumber lemonade? So. Good. I actually told my girlfriend that I wish they sold that stuff by the gallon, I'd buy it. Reminded us a lot of the cucumber lemonade at Cilantro's Tacos, but in my opinion Toast's version of it tastes even better.

The House Eggs Benedict was the real star of the meal. As it should be, but I didn't think a breakfast item would rock my socks like this one did. The chef was not stingy with any part of the dish, plenty of avocado and bacon. The eggs were poached just right. The whole dish had a lot of texture and was just damn tasty. It's a new favorite for sure, and my girlfriend agrees.

The verdict? Awesome brunch spot that deserves a try. Only gripe is the pricing, which would deter us from going more often, but obviously they get enough business to justify the...

I have been to this place with my friend before and I absolutely love it. Today my friend and I decided to go to have a New Year’s Eve breakfast, we had the worst experience. I signed up to get a table, they said 25 minutes; it actually took an hour. Our order was taken as soon as we got our table but 45 minutes later, we had to ask our server why it was taking so long to get our food? she went to check on our food, she said it was almost done, in the mean time the manager came over to our table to apologize and offer a discount for the delay. When we got our order it was all wrong. We ordered the cheese steak toast with no onions, instead it was extra onions and no bell pepper, the second order was the perfect avocado toast with eggs, the avocado look like it had been sitting there for a while ( turning black and no flavored). We send the cheese steak back, they offer to redo it, however, at this point I was hungry, eat whatever we had and get out of there. They continue to apologized which, I appreciated but it was too late. We were very irritated. We asked for our bill which it did not take them too long to bring it to us and to our surprise there was no discount as promised. We payed our bill full price because we did not need to reminded them was it was promise to us, we just wanted to leave and forget about our HORRIBLE experience at...

Visiting from NorCal with my daughter who lives in Whittier. First impression awful sitting spot! We (2 very petite women) were placed right by the door inside. I sat on the outside where my chair was constantly bumped. The cleaning cart was trying to get through, it’s like “where am I supposed to go?!” My chest was already pressed against the very tiny table! The table was wobbly so I asked the waitress who was really rude and had no personalty by the way if she could give me something to place under the table leg. She looked at me like I was an idiot. She did finally bring me a folded up napkin after our drinks were already served. 🤦🏻‍♀️ It’s okay I made it work! There were 2 younger women who sat next us starring at us most of time with a mugging facial expression at the beginning and again upon leaving at us, mostly my daughter. (Not really sure what that was about! Especially since the whole time they were there, they were talking garbage about every friend. 😳) Food was so bland, absolutely no taste at all, we ordered 2 classics with egg, potato and white toast. They brought 1 sourdough by mistake. Honestly there’s just no excuse to screw up the most easiest basic breakfast! It’s too bad because I would have made this my regular brunch spot during my visits to So Cal, since it’s really close to my daughter’s...
