I agree with Johnny and La Coco . . . Toast is nothing special, unless you're showing off to out-of-towners (and even then, showing off the crowds, not the food). Toast always seems to have a longer wait than the Griddle (granted, that place is crowded too), even though the Griddle serves much better food.

The only reason to ever go to Toast is to take visitors from the midwest who couldn't get tickets to be in the audience for The Price is Right. It's an alternative way of giving them the feeling they experienced something "L.A.", including the exhilaration of waiting in a long line. There are a dozen places with better food for brunch in this town.

Really? I don't know that the food is completely mediocre...I'd say it's better than mediocre. Some dishes are very good (french toast), their lattes are divine, and their baked stuff (particularly the red velvet cake and cupcakes) is pretty great. Was my scramblette brilliant? No. Would I wait in those lines for this food? No. That's why I recommend going when no one else is there. Good lattes, no crowd, get in, get out, get on with your life.
