About us
6 years of Toast, Coffee,
and Community
Toast on Bloor is more than just a place to grab breakfast — it’s a small local spot built on warmth, good food, and real connection.
Whether you’re here for your usual order or discovering us for the first time, we’re happy to have you at the table.
Where it all started - and why we do what we do
Toast on Bloor began with a simple idea: create a space where people could enjoy honest food and feel right at home. What started as a small breakfast joint quickly became a neighbourhood favourite — the kind of place where servers remember your name, coffee refills come without asking, and every dish is made with care.
We believe in keeping things real:
Fresh, comforting food made from quality ingredients
Friendly, down-to-earth service — no frills, just heart
A space that feels warm, familiar, and welcoming to everyone who walks in
Our passion is in the everyday moments — that first sip of coffee, a shared laugh over pancakes, or seeing regulars come back week after week. That’s what keeps us going, and we’re so grateful to be a part of this community.

Kind words from our community

“Great spot close to the subway station. Server was super friendly. Food was delicious. Coffee was great. Restaurant is nice and clean. Definitely need to add this Restaurant to my breakfast list in the area.”

“Home fries were hand cut with skin on (nice touch) which made them crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Bacon was well made, and I loved that they used fruits as garnish, gave the dish a nice contrast of flavor! Staff were very friendly and helpful.”

“Love everything about this place! My wife and i l have been here twice now. Both times the food was amazing, the best brunch we’ve had in awhile, and the service was really fantastic.”
