Toast Downey

Located on bustling Stonewood Street in the heart of Downey, Toast Kitchen & Bar invites locals and visitors to a bright, modern space where brunch feels like a celebration. The menu showcases Mexican‑inspired chilaquiles topped with queso fresco, fluffy buttermilk pancakes drizzled with maple‑brown butter, and a classic avocado toast on sourdough. Signature dishes such as the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and the Toasted Breakfast Burrito sit alongside a bottomless mimosa program that runs all weekend, offering endless citrus sparkle. Craft cocktails are hand‑shaken at the open bar; try the rosemary‑gin fizz or the house‑made blood orange margarita. From 2 p.m. to close Monday‑through‑Friday, Happy Hour delivers half‑price drinks and small plates like truffle‑parmesan fries. Thursday evenings transform the dining room into the Bangers & Rosé experience, where locally sourced sausages are paired with a rotating selection of rosé wines and a live DJ spins upbeat tunes. The interior blends industrial metal accents with soft pink lighting, reclaimed wood tables, and a communal bar that encourages conversation. An outdoor patio shaded by string lights provides a relaxed spot for families and groups. Service is attentive yet relaxed, and the staff proudly source ingredients from nearby farms. Whether you’re stopping by for a weekend brunch, a post‑work cocktail, or a lively night out, Toast Downey delivers a vibrant, California‑style dining experience just minutes from the historic Downey Civic Center and the popular Downey Marketplace.
