A hidden gem within Tucson, 'Toast 101' provides freshly made meals that will leave you with tears of joy. I learned about this place simply by driving past it one day, and thought, "Let's try that out!" The exterior didn't seem that fancy; in fact, it gave off an old, family-owned vibe, but this made me hopeful. Sometimes, the places that don't look fancy are the local's picks for best food. This location is by Mission Plaza, Sprouts Farmers Market, & Banfield Pet Hospital. The parking lot also has a lot of space, at least in the mornings, so you don't have to be concerned with fighting for a spot.I have visited twice so far to have breakfast, with both times having nobody at the front to greet me. However, I forgive this because I also arrived very early, so there wasn't a crowd that required a greeter. Besides, the people that would be my greeter noticed me shortly after I entered and brought me to my seat. They handed me my menu and were very attentive to my needs throughout my stay.The seating is nice & spacious, with lots of booths for large groups. The atmosphere feels bright and there's music that plays, mostly old tunes like "You Don't Own Me" by: Lesley Gore and "I Love You Baby" by: Frank Sinatra. Between the two visits, I tried four kinds of french toast, including their 'Oreo Bliss, Fruity Pebbles Delight, Nutella Overload, & New Yorker.' I also tried two of their skillets, and of course, some fresh orange juice on the side. Every single meal was Heaven! The french toasts are especially eye-grabbers, as when my French Toast Flight was brought to my table, the only other guests at the time asked my waitress what I ordered. Each dish is so colorful, and hefty with syrups & whipped cream. You will be leaving there with a to-go box. Also, to note, I shared the flight (which contains three different french toast) with one other person who can down a lot of food, but I would highly recommend that you only order the flight if you have four people minimum at your table. The sight of it is super intimidating. The skillets were great as well; I really fought between a bite of the sweet and savory during my visits because they're equally amazing. The potatoes are crispy, eggs fluffy, & if you get one with meat, it's well cooked. Seriously, I would come here as often as I can to try their whole menu! I recommend this to anybody: singles, couples, families, young, elder. Anyone is welcomed except for those who want to manage their calorie intact, because I hate to say it, but you wouldn't be able to resist their wonderful meals and keep your diet in control. This is the best place to visit when you want to lose control, and that's what makes it so fun!

Loved the decor and the service was great. Plemty of room so no wait. The food is large portions. My wife had an order of pancakes the size of a plate. I ordered the skillet with a chicken fried steak, I made special requests and all were met perfectly. A good brunch. Will go again.

Cute brunch spot! I was impressed by the big portions with generous amount of protein. The food was very tasty- both our savory and sweet dishes. The skillets - meat and country- were delicious. The proteins on the meat skillet and country fried steak were the highlight of the dishes. The potatoes were crispy and good. The New York French toast was indulgent. Definitely a guilty pleasure. It was a bit too much for me- a little too much cream and too dense. It was hard to split between two people. Strawberry mimosa was yummy but small portion. Service was pleasant.

As far as the food is concerned, it's everything done right. The kind of place where you wish nobody was looking so you can lick your plate clean. Nice and bright meets a cheerful comfort, food palette. I loved the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant. Though they were low on staff. the two servers did everything they possibly could to make sure that each table was taken care of. We had the hangover skillet and the banana fosters French toast. Neither my daughter, or I could decide which dish we loved more. We savored every bite and delighted in the flight of mimosas that we had; which were... Pineapple, orange, Tiffany blue, and my favorite, the prickly pear. I highly recommend this place if you're on the east side of town. I would have given it five stars but the place needs a serious cleaning.

First timer. Wait time for a table of 4 was 30-45 minutes long. Checked in around 11am. Seated at noon. Very busy establishment. The decor was very girly. Which was nice. Our waiter was not attentive. A few other waitresses had to help us. On the other hand, the food was delicious. The food portions were good. We will definitely go back. Maybe an earlier time. Restrooms were clean. I recommend this place. But it is busy.

My friend and I stopped at Toast 101 for a post-hike brunch, and -- while we felt a smidge grubby for the scene -- we enjoyed our meal! We went for a combination of sweet and savory items: we each started with a Matcha Latte (5 stars, absolutely recommend), then shared both the Country Fried Chicken and French Toast Flight. The Matcha Latte was deliciously sweet and creamy, but still retained the slightly earthy tea flavor that I enjoy. The Country Fried Chicken was a huge dish of fried chicken smothered in gravy, with biscuits, potatoes, and eggs. We attacked it with post-trail appetites, and even shared, it was super filling. The seasoning was very good on the chicken and potatoes, and the biscuits were nice and fluffy. Despite being super full from the fried chicken, we couldn't resist the French toasts we'd selected for our flight: Nutella Overload (strawberries, granola, and nutella), The New Yorker (cheesecake with graham crackers and strawberries), and Oreo Bliss (oreos on oreos on oreos). Friends, be prepared for a sugar coma after these French toasts, or better yet, share one order amongst the table as a dessert. They're delicious, but SO SO SO sweet. We enjoyed all three toasts, but the Nutella Overload was probably my favorite, in part because the fresh strawberries cut through some of that cloying sweetness. The food is four-star, but the service was pretty rough. We waited an extremely long time for our food. I went back and forth on 3 versus 4 stars for this one, and I'm going with 4 because our server worked so hard to make things better! She repeatedly came and checked in with us while we waited for our meal, and even brought us each a free second latte to apologize for the length of the wait. I appreciated that a lot!

Funny. I've driven by so many times but first visit. It's on the very busy corner of Swan and Speedway. Most menu items are large (very shareable), with complicated ingredients, and pricey. We had the two eggs, meat, potatoes, toast selection. It was $25 for two. Decor is retro only because it has been around so long it's become retro. Nice service. Mostly clean, just not the floor. Or menus.
