A Toast to Toast!

This past Labor Day weekend it was finally time to brunch at Toast, another one of those “lifestyle” breakfast places that dot the Sunday-morning landscape out here.

Toast, a “Bakery-Café” at the corner of 3rd and Harper is always bustling! Anytime you pass the place throngs of trendy LA types litter the sidewalk, dressed just so as they valet their Lamborghini or Porsches.

We didn't feel the need to be seen under the sidewalk’s shady umbrellas, instead listing ourselves as "first available" and within 20 minutes got a nice high-top table in the window. With a menu spanning breakfast, lunch and dinner and a pastry case that is to die for, we placed our orders with our attractive and attentive waiter.

Sitting near the expeditor’s window, it was interesting to see the staff “battle” to bring us our food. From the runner, to the flirtatious blond to our stocky server, our food passed through three sets of hands before reaching our table.

Joe ordered the Eggs Florentine, I had the Protein Scramble. Both were light, non-greasy and particularly tasty! I was even allowed to substitute a truly scrumptious Red Velvet cupcake instead of regular toast (so good in fact we took a Half ‘N’ Half version to go)!!!

Overall we could not have had a better experience, good food, prompt service, great people watching… I cannot wait to go back, if only to try another cupcake!!!
