The staff at The Friendly Toast - Dedham is absolutely fantastic. They make you feel welcome, keep the VERY busy restaurant moving along, and go above and beyond if you mention any kind of allergy. I ordered Amy's American Burrito and an Iced Coffee. I was fairly certainly it wouldn't be a problem, but I mentioned my problem with Oats. I would neeever have though there would be oat fiber in the wrap. They saved me some real discomfort and they had an alternate wrap to give me. They really went out of their way and it was so appreciated. They also get all the points for refilling my bottomless ice coffee which, at other retaurants, is sometimes forgotten. I used to love the Cambridge - Technology Sq. location and it was nice to go to Friendly Toast again and soak in the land of formica and whimsical vintage. The menu has changed a little bit since then, or maybe the locations have different menus? But still good. I'm glad this local chain is doing so well that they have expanded so much.

Friendly Toast is my go to for brunch places around the area. They have a diverse menu that changes frequently with greats meals and drinks. Also the music here is always the vibe. The Chicken cordon bleu benny is one of my favorites to get. The Harvard square drink is sweet and definitely got my tipsy. The mimosas flight is perfect for those who want to try new drinks. The Snap Crackle Cluck was crispy and well seasoned. However the bread did come soggy. Overall I always have a good experience when I come.

My roommate and I came for brunch on New Years Day to start off the year on the right note and we were not disappointed! Our breakfast burritos were awesome and but we were even happier with our server, Lauren H. She was maybe one of the smiliest, most friendly people I'd come across in a while and she made us feel so welcome and so well taken care of. We love Lauren!!

Great vibe! We were a party of 8 and they don't really have tables for 8 so they sat us at two booths next to each other which worked out fine for our party. Definitely utilize the waitlist on Yelp because they get super busy. I had the breakfast burrito which was delicious. They are very accommodating for dietary restrictions and everyone in our party was pleased!

This was my breakfast pancakes with bananas, bacon, and eggs over easy with and I have to repeat this with their tater tots all right even if you don't like to this is it. This establishment is also in Boston, but let me tell you we had such a great time. The service was fantastic. The food was great those tater tots. I dream of them if there was a friendly toast within 100 miles where I live, I drive there just for those giant Delicious cheesy tots. It'll get you every time.

A solid brunch spot to meet friends. The interior is very fun and trendy. Food is solid and they have a good menu that's very food allergy friendly which is good. I ordered the chicken and waffles which are on the savory side. It's tasty but could use either more sauce or something as it's a little dry. Next time I'd ask for syrup. The spiked coffee flight was fun to split amongst friends. I only had the mocha one which was good but so strong I almost couldn't finish it oops. Overall not my fav food ever but convenient for friend meet ups and a solid meal.

The friendly toast is an eclectic brunch chain in Massachusetts. This location is in Dedham, MA next to the Costco and Whole Foods in the Legacy Place Plaza. We came in on a Sunday and the wait time was 20 minutes around 11am. It was a little busy so we had to flag down our waiters a few times but the owner was walking around making sure that we had a good experience. The environment and diverse menu is what makes this place special. There's a lot of fun and quirky decorations all around the restaurant and the branding/theme is evident throughout their food and drink menu as well. The food was okay for the price. The avocado toast was seasoned well and had a good amount of toppings on the toast. The home fries were a little soggy and the turkey sausage seemed like it was a frozen patty. The cookie butter was just whipped butter with oreos mixed - not worth the extra dollar. The highway strawberry, on the other hand, is 2 chocolate covered french toasts with strawberries on top. It tasted pretty good covered in maple syrup. Overall, I'd rate the food as average because of the taste and presentation, but the overall experience was fun because of the ambiance. I'd recommend this place for a casual brunch or group hangout at least once when in Massachusetts.

Such a cool retro hip vibe in this culinary forward place! Everything on the menu sounded delicious, it was hard to chose! Loved the appetizer sampler! The tots were moist, crunchy and full of flavor! The sauce was creamy, cheesy, and perfection! The cinnamon bread churro bites were sweet deliciousness and the breakfast egg rolls tasted like a crisp deviled egg. I got the chicken cordon bleu Bennie. Super yummy smoked ham, cheddar and the poached egg was done perfectly!! The sauce was tangy, mildly spicy and excellent! Can't say enough how really tasty this was!! The hash quiche potato hash brown bowels was creative-crispy and bright!! Really yummy! I had the mimosa flight and have to say they were all perfection! Sweet, hints of flavor, slightly tart and beautifully presented! The raspberry (flower in it) was my absolute fav! My friend had the Bloody Mary flight: the pickle one being the star of the flight! The maple bacon was too sweet....it really didn't marry the flavors very well but I could see how someone might like it. We enjoyed our pre-new years eve celebration at the Friendly toast! Oh and the staff were really really super friendly! Love the smiles!
