Toast Two

Oh my days, so based off the Eggs Benedict I ordered for Brunch, the place might be over rated a tad much (bland sauce)!! But. pancake orgy; yummy tasty treat to go with any meal! Even the group of drunk guys sitting next to us were basically begging for it
*That’s all she wrote

Enjoyed relaxing breakfast with friend. He liked chaquilles with sliced tomatoes instead of rice and I a veggie benedict. Great home fries on side. Ask for what you want. Waiter and kitchen accommodating. For price expect to be accommodated.

There was a chicken bone in my sandwich and there was hardly any chicken or rice in my chicken and rice soup. If the only part of your menu you’re going to put any effort into whatsoever is the toast, just serve only toast! Everything else was absolutely disgusting, and I was really disappointed.

If I keep returning, there has to be a good reason. The service and flavors of their breakfast and lunch options are great! The coffee is a great starter for a super productive day!

Food is decent, service is terrible! The guy with the ponytail especially! As one of the only options on this end of Damen, I understand that it will be busy, but this place is in no hurry to turn over tables! First, the host tells you the wait for a table is twice as long as it actually takes. Second, the waiter has such attitude, seems so angry to be working, and acts like the customers are such a bother, just for showing up! The food was good and prompt, though! Then, we waited 20 minutes after we were done eating waiting for our bill! Finally I asked one if the bus boys to get it for us! Pay attention to your tables, smile, and if you were prompt with turning over your tables, you get more customers/$$$

Best breakfast ever. The stuffed French toast was incredible I loved the chocolate. My dining companion had the crab eggs Benedict so creamy and good. Wonderful coffee fresh ground great and quick service. Would definitely go back…

This is one of my favorite brunch spots to go to. Whenever I think of taking an out of towner to brunch this is one of the first spots I think of. My only complaint is that it’s small so once a crowd forms, you will have a decent wait. But there are many Chicago establishments like that, so you kinda get used to it. The servers are always friendly and the food usually comes out pretty quickly as well. My favorite dishes are the Crab Benedict and the B.E.L.T which is a bacon, egg, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. You can add other toppings to the sandwich and I usually add goat cheese and avocado! So yummy!

I do not know what I was expecting from a bucktown breakfast place, but I got the most bourgeois breakfast I’ve had in the city of Chicago.
I decided to get the daily special bleu cheese exclusive omelette (included tomato and asparagus). Got my plate and I wasn’t aware there is a potato famine going on. As in «holy mother of god are we running out of potatoes?» No just stingy with the potatoes and my omelette had what I’m assuming was a pinch of bleu cheese. Like bleu cheese lightly coughed in my mouth and it wasn’t even a good flemmy cough.
The breakfast savior was the pepper plant sauce. I looked at the seedy bottle and wasn’t hesitant to season the hell out of my food and make it way better than before.
Could have gone with a danish and coffee instead of toast two. It would have saved me a 30+ minute wait and a trip to bucktown.

Good breakfast place in Bucktown. I’ve been here many times over the last few years and it’s always been speedy and consistent. I enjoy the Tijuana omelette with egg whites. The pancakes are also tasty. Good option on the neighborhood.

Went here for brunch and it hit the spot. I got the breakfast burger which was very good. Girlfriend got the chorizo Benedict but the English muffin was burnt. Ok prices for what you get, good service, and only had to wait 10 min for brunch on a Sunday. Next time I need to try the stuffed French toast, It looked good!

Very cute place. No reservations and BYOB, which means no bloody marry’s or mimosas served. I had a delicious crêpe with brown sugar and strawberries for $ 6. The bacon was disappointingly thin. I think the stellar items here maybe the french toast hence the name. Definitely a hipster hangout in Bucktown.

First time trying this place and I would definitely return!
I played it safe and got the two eggs meal with house potatoes, toast and a side of short stack buttermilk pancakes. They were not skimpy on the food. In fact I wasn’t able to even eat my toast and half of my pancakes because I was full mid-​meal (and I can eattt lol). Usually, I’m not a fan of house potatoes but they made them nice and flavorful and crispy. The scrambled eggs were probably one of the best scrambled eggs I have ever had from a restaurant (they were seasoned already and were yellow and fluffy). The pancakes were delicious; adding additional butter is not necessary which I love because I’m always too eager to eat my food to want to take the time out to put butter on my already buttermilk pancakes lol.
The waiters are also very friendly and approachable.
Only downside is that it can be difficult to find parking on Damen. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this breakfast place! You can tell that they take pride in their food and use fresh ingredients which is always important to me!

This was the perfect place for my boyfriend and I to come when we were too hungover to go to work the day after taking our medical boards exam and skipped. We were lucky not many people were out on this gloomy looking Friday but thankfully there was no wait and we were seated immediately.
The special omelet, with prosciutto, tomatoes and cheddar was just the ticket. Olive salty salty prosciutto on its own but in an omelet with some hot sauce on top was even better. My boyfriend loved his crabby benedict; he loved it so much he ordered a side of chorizo to put on top. He said his potatoes maybe weren’t cooked as much as they should’ve been and didn’t finish them, but otherwise this place was on point. Coffee mug was never empty and the service was fast. I’m not sure if I would wait in line for so long as I’ve often seen people do here, but I definitely will come back and bring mimosas once this hangover subsides!

Stuffed french toast on fleek.
I had breakfast here and couldn’t decide between the Pancake Orgy and the French Toast Orgy, so I asked the waitress what she recommended between the 2. Before I could finish my sentence, she said French Toast Orgy, so French Toast Orgy it was. I must say, the French Toast Orgy here is AMAZING and I’m glad she recommended it. It comes w/​3 pieces of stuffed french toast: strawberry purée, mascarpone, and Mexican chocolate, all topped with vanilla yogurt, granola, berries, powdered sugar, and a drizzle of honey. There’s a lot going on on the plate, but it all works well together. It was plenty sweet (in a good way), so I didn’t even need to add syrup to it. The berries are fresh and the yogurt and granola add great texture to the stuffed french toast. All 3 were good, but my favorite was the strawberry purée, followed by the mascarpone, and then the Mexican chocolate. Toast Two is close to my house, so I definitely want to come back to try the Pancake Orgy and Pesto Scramble

Had a great meal at my neighborhood spot. It is typically packed, so I was able to meet a friend here moments after the opened on a week day during my winter break. We sat at the counter and had a great meal with great service. I ordered chilaquiles off the special board while my partner in crime ordered delicious looking pancakes off the menu. We were both super pleased with the meal, coffee, and feeling of the place. The couple next to us offered us their almost empty bottle of champaign, so apparently it is also BYOB. Enjoy! I’ll be back!

After living down the street from Toast for years, we finally decided to brave the crowds and give it a try. Arrived at 9:45am on a Sunday, and were seated immediately in the very busy restaurant. (We went because it was COLD and knew that the crowds might be lighter).
SO GLAD WE DID!
We have already been back for the second time in one week (this time a Thursday morning which was comfortably quiet!). The Croque Madam, the BELT, the breakfast burrito with chorizo, all DELICIOUS! The bread on the BELT made this sandwich for me. Buttery and perfectly toasted outside, super soft inside.
Tried a latte upon the recommendation of our waiter (who doubled as a barista?!) during our second visit. It was excellent!
Service was solid during even during a busier Sunday.
Avoided this place because I hate to wait, but will return again and again because when you time it right, it’s outta sight!

Still one of my favorite brunch spots! It’s pretty much got the whole package — good food, good coffee, friendly staff, and love the bright, modern country styled interior.
The pesto egg dish and brie with pear and apple crêpe were both stellar.

Came back to Toast Two after a long absence and it confirmed what I remembered it being: just an average brunch place.
Don’t get me wrong, the food was good, the service even better, but overall nothing I can’t get at any other brunch place. My friend and I went at 10:30 on a Saturday morning and our wait time was between 20 – 30 minutes. (If we had agreed to sit at the counter, the wait would have only been 5 minutes.) I definitely wouldn’t wait any longer than that.

I was super excited to come here for brunch especially because 1) I love the name 2) I love the store front even more. Our wait was about 40 minutes on a Sunday at noon and then it was probably another 20 minutes before we got our food after we ordered. A little lengthy for me.
I got the French toast orgy with one of each flavor — dark chocolate, marscapone, and strawberry. I thought I would like the dark chocolate the most but it turned out it was my least favorite. It was kind of mushy and stuck at an awkward in between of trying to be sweet, but not sweet enough. Turns out the marscapone was my favorite! The regular stuffed french toast is basically the same plate but just without the yogurt and granola toppings.
The service was okay. They were very accommodating for one of my friends who had a lot of specific requests for her burger. One of our waiters was very odd though and he kept on asking if we wanted more coffee and water even though we repeatedly said no. He also very awkwardly tried to maneuver the water pitcher around us which I didn’t understand at all because it really wasn’t that difficult to do.
All in all, it’s a solid brunch spot but because it’s also a smaller place, be prepared to wait on weekends.

Classically good breakfast.
When you want some fluffy scrambled eggs, a decent size side of bacon and some damn good toast then Toast one or two is your place.
This location is set up much life the originally in DePaul country: about 15 tables crammed against a wall, a breakfast bar and a lot of natural light.
There are come things I wish Toast Two would offer like a build your own omelet option or meat with pancakes. But when you want some cozy down home breakfast Toast Two is your place.
