Avotoasty

I decided to stop by after the gym since I was craving a smoothie. There wasn't a line when I arrived, so my order was ready within 10 minutes. I ordered their Açaí Berry Smoothie since I really like açaí and blueberries. Come to think of it I've never had açaí in a smoothie before, so I was excited to give it a try. The smoothie was on the smaller side given that the drink was over $11. I was able to taste the berries and the açaí but it was a very average drink. I'm guessing the price is on the steeper side since they use fresh ingredients? Overall, it was great to try something other than their famous toasts.

Walked around Lake Merritt and came across Avotoasty. I'm a huge fan of Acai Bowls and was happy to see that Avotoasty had one on the menu. The Acai Bowl comes with acai topped with granola, strawberries, bananas, coconut & honey flakes & honey. Definitetly hit the spot and worth a try!

It was okay. I found this place on Yelp, I work right by Lake Merritt and thought it would be a nice walk on a rainy day for something fresh and vibrant. Pictures and presentation, even for a to go order, were very pretty. You walk up to what looks like an old freight train that also sits across another business with the same set up, nestled in between are benches and chairs with some plants that nice decorate the otherwise very industrial looking cubes. I ordered the prosciutto toast. The Toast itself is about $14 with an additional $3 for the addition of cheese, yes the sprinkles of Feta are an extra $3. Normally I don't mind paying the extra amount for good food but in essence the only real flavor I got was from the tart and savory Feta and a bit from the prosciutto. I didn't get much interaction from the staff since you order from a tablet set outside of a window. When my order was ready someone stuck their head out and kind of screamed my name. Asked if I needed utensils and when I asked for the Tabasco packets I saw they seemed a little annoyed even though they were sitting right there next to utensils. Environment looked clean and maintained. There was nothing really wrong but also nothing really great here. Food looked fresh from top to bottom, a more nutritious option than a lot of what is in the area. Normally I have no issue giving a business another try but the experience and flavor was a little underwhelming. Maybe I just came on an off day.

I tried the acai bowl as well as the Eggytoast - they were pretty good and the presentation was a nice touch! I love going here as they have really nice outdoor seating with a few other food spots close by. Just a heads up - it's a bit more expensive than you'd expect for what you get but it's not a bad spot to check out every once in a while!

Ordered the salmon toast & matcha lemonade. Lox bagel but on toast! With avocado! Cute location walkable to the lake, & shared space with equator in case you want coffee to accompany your toast. Small but very cute & convenient space. Matcha lemonade was definitely matcha-y & not too sweet which I liked. The toast was yummy, fresh quality ingredients, decent portion, price seems about right for the Bay Area & just that general area, so it'll be a little more pricey. Total was about $26.

Location is a little tricky and parking is not great. It's a converted container on a wooden patio, it shares a space with a coffee bar. One person working, (digital payment only!) and he took my order promptly. It took about 10 minutes to get my order. It was warm, I don't know why I didn't expect it to be warm. But it was tasty. The sourdough was very good. I'd definitely go try them again when I have more time.

Was looking for a grab and go spot in Oakland closeby with healthy options. Avotoasty was so friendly and before we even ordered anything they offered our dog a pupacino. He got whipped cream with a treat on top, so cute! Lots of options for avocado toast, really if you love avocado toast it's probably a dream come true for you. I tried the smoked salmon and my husband ordered the eggy toast. The avocado was creamy and spread perfectly, they mash it up nicely. Well seasoned and the eggs were perfect. They also have gluten free bread options so I got that instead of the sourdough. Overall, healthy and delicious but of course quite pricey compared to making it yourself at home. The space is outdoors and dog friendly, and some communal tables with succulents around them. Not super clean with the succulents falling all over and some cobwebs but decent enough to eat. I think the dining space is maintained by someone else as they share it with the coffee spot across the way. Would definitely come back if I wanted a healthy breakfast and didn't have energy to make it at home! Plus, my pup Kingsley loved it!

Good quality ingredients and located across the street from Whole Foods. It's a nice stop to grab an avocado toast and drink before grocery shopping, or after your walk or jog around the lake. They have dog treats too. I ordered the Prosciutto Avo Toast with Matcha Lemonade. Very tasty, filling, and paired nicely with the refreshing drink. There are ceiling heat lamps above their shared seating with the Equator coffee shop they share their outdoor patio with. Kudos for using all compostable containers, utensils, cups, and straws too!

If you are an avocado lover like me you should try this place out. Different avocado toast options and healthy smoothies, service it's fast and friendly . Just keep in mind that it's an outdoor space so it can get very cold during winter time. Prepare your jackets !!! Pet friendly spot.

Really good avocado but kinda pricey for Avotoast w/ poached egg. Service could be a tad friendlier. Shares seating w/ coffee shop across.
