Toast Cafe & Grill is a cozy brunch spot located in Willow Glen with a nice and variety filled menu. Located in a shopping center it was easy to find parking and although it was busy we were able to find seating for 4 relatively quickly. They offer both indoor and outdoor dining which is nice. We opted for outdoor seating and they have heating lamps around to make the experience more comfortable. The restaurant is clean and has a nice vibe to it so we were very optimistic about our experience and we ordered pretty quickly. We ordered green chilaquiles with coffee and old fashioned pancakes plus bacon and hashbrowns with chocolate milk. The waiter also pointed out that by comboing everything it would be cheaper which ended up saving us some money on he order. Our food did take quite a bit of time to come and they forgot one of our dishes as well which was unfortunate because everything up until that point had been smooth. When all the food finally arrived we all dug in and the results were a bit mixed. The green chilaquiles were okay, nothing about them really stood out and we felt like it was a dish you could’ve eaten just about anywhere, i.e. it was nothing to write home about. Likewise, the pancakes were just okay. They were a bit too soft and doughy and that’s coming from people who like their pancakes on the doughier side. Ironically, on the other side of the table our friends ordered the cinnamon roll pancakes which were much, much better and we wish we had gotten that because it was a hit all around.
