Toast - Montclair - Restaurant Review

Toasthpsmall

Toast, the cozy breakfast, lunch and brunch place that just opened in Montclair, is a gem.

Located near the Montclair Art Museum, on Bloomfield Avenue, across the street from Whole Foods it is a great addition to the neighborhood.

Diana had breakfast, Huevos Rancheros, and I had lunch, the Cuban sandwich.
Toast is great. Welcoming decor, very friendly and attentive staff. Good food.
Both were really good. The eggs served on a tasty tortilla had a delicious fresh salsa and just the right amount of cheese and sour cream. The Cuban was on a fresh toasted roll and other than the mustard issue, see below, tasted as good as the Cubans you get in Miami. The sandwich came with great sweet potato fries. 
Our friends Cathy and Conrad were just finishing their lunch. They had the Cobb Salad and "Mini Rubens" which they liked.

We will be back.

Some constructive criticism. The Cuban Sandwich with mustard on the side arrived without this essential condiment. I asked for mustard and the staff, who are attentive to a fault, quickly presented a plastic bottle of Gulden's Spicy Brown. As a mustard connoisseur I long for better. My father-in-law, Rudy Polack, manufactured mustard in New York City for decades. As a result I look for the very best. A gourmet mustard served in a small bowl would my choice.

My friend Cathy insisted I mention that the salad was delicious but would be better if the Romaine Lettuce was torn not cut and served in a bowl rather than a plate.

Overall I give Toast a big thumbs up.
