Reviews for Toast in Durham, NC
I was staying down the street so it was a very easy half mile walk. I saw really good reviews online and I wanted brunch. Lol. I... like trying and experiencing new things(food related only lol) and decided on Toast because of what I saw on the menu. Had myorder taken outside but I felt like eating indoors. Had a glass of white and ordered the 3 crostinis and a cup of soup. 1. Goatcheese with local honey and pepper. 2. Chicken liver with bacon and onion. 3. Garlicy mushrooms with thyme and gorganzola. Thesoup thay I chose was a arborio rice, summer squash & asiago. I also ordered the shrimp and sunchoke salad for later. Servicewas decent and the food arrived within about 15 mins or so, so not that bad of a wait at all...The soup was divine! Very creamyand lots of flavor. Out of the three crostini the goat cheese was my absolute favorite. They were all delicious, that one wasjust my favorite. When it comes to the shrimp salad: Oh.My.Gosh. ????????????. Tons of pieces of shrimp, chopped sunchokes(yum),celery, etc. with their housemade aioli that seems to have the exact amount of lemon in it. I ordered it as an after thought,but I am not regretting my decision at all. ???????? I am definitely going to go back the next time I visit Durham. I found mynew favorite brunch spot. Thank you Toast.? Read more
One of my favorites in Durham. Great sandwiches and soup - have never had a meal I didn't love. Owner works the register and is... the kindest person who makes you feel welcome. Can get crowded but nice seating outside too. Highly recommend. Read more
This is not your regular sandwich cafe! I dined here couple of years back and when I went back yesterday, the flavors were still... the same!! That shows how they can deliver good food, consistently!! The concept is simple yet unique is some ways. You'll findsandwiches everywhere, but not quite as tasty as the ones here. The Tuscan Kale is our all time favorite!! The crostinis!!!Little packages filled with flavors....we got avocado lemon, garlic mushroom, beet goat cheese mandrin mint, pesto mozzarella.LOVED every morsel of it! They complemented the artichoke potato soup so well. We also got the Farro pea salad which wasyum! Bottom line, my 40 mins commute to get this food was absolutely worth it and I'll definitely do it again! Read more
I can't wait to go back here! Reasonable prices, super friendly service, REALLY delicious food, and a calm, sophisticated... atmosphere. Highly recommended! The menu has a lot of great options so go with a friend so that you can share! :) Read more
Toast is a perennial favorite and I'm sure it's mobbed at lunch time. Great menu of panini, tramentino, and crostini! Also some... nice sides with great olives and great salad since the vinaigrette is amazing. Good selection of beer, wine, and other beveragesin their fridge. Order up front and then take your number and they bring you your order when it's ready. Nice station for waterand you can bus your plates in the back. There is a parking lot in the back and on street parking. Read more
This cute Paninoteca was really good. The atmosphere was comfy and the decor was calming. You go to the counter and order your... food then we got a number for our table and waited to be served. It was clean and the workers were friendly. We waited for ourfood a little longer then I would have liked but it was fresh and delicious! That?s my 2 cents now you decide. Read more
Love this place! It's one of my favorites in downtown Durham. Wonderful homemade food (I highly recommend the soup, tuna... olivada, and smoked salmon) and friendly staff. I feel at home here. Read more
Super cute eatery. Food and service is amazing. Very friendly staff. Since I was visiting Durham from LA I wasn?t a fan of their... hours of operation. 11am - 2:45pm but a number of non-chain restaurants are open on a similar timeframe. Despite this mildinconvenience, I would totally come back here. Read more
