- toasttoast takes a long time to make, but taste never disappoints
- breadThe bread was lightly toasted, offering a perfect balance

- sandwichesThe sandwiches at Toast'N Egg are absolutely delicious
- pork chopthe pork chop is juicy and delicious
- FoodEverything was delicious
- Wagyu ToastThe employee mentioned they closed an hour early. Otherwise, this is a good sandwich spot that I’ve been longing to return to, as I had a good experience previously. Now I know I really have to come during lunch.
- breakfastwonderful breakfast experience
Frequently criticized
- foodThere are 100 different breakfast sandwich, burrito, and bagel spots in the city that offer a better experience. It was a really gross experience.
- eggThe meat was brown, and I just pulled off the patty to try and finish the rest of the sandwich. Even then, the egg was soggy, and the toast was barely toasted. It was a very poor experience, and I’ll never go back.
- sandwichIdeally, a sandwich would have even bites throughout. However, here they stacked 75% of the egg in front, which admittedly gives you an amazing first few bites, but the satisfaction melts quickly as you realize you paid for half a sandwich. All in all, I would recommend it to try, but I probably won't be going back for a while.
- sandwichestwo of the sandwiches were barely warm
- croffleCroffle is definitely better if warmed up but they only serve it cold
- eggsThe eggs in the sandwiches were slimey
- FoodFood:1
- MSGit's possible that they use MSG. Do watch out if you are allergic
- MatchaMatcha wasn’t good
- Wagyu beefHowever, the sandwich itself was messy and not that great. I ordered the Wagyu, and the beef was super overcooked. The egg was all over the place and runny.
If youre looking for a quick, delicious sandwich with fluffy eggs and dont mind a bit of inconsistency, it might be worth a try. However, be aware that some dishes can be a hit or miss, so manage your expectations for a consistently perfect meal.

Frequently criticized
- wait timeWaited 15 minutes outside, ordered at a kiosk, then waited another 15+ minutes
- waiting timeFor a soft opening, there are unfortunately some details to be worked out. We ordered 3 toasts and waited for an hour. The place was packed, with lots of people ordering.

- staffstaff unapologetically dismissive
- ServiceService:2
- Toast pageNow I know I really have to come during lunch. It would have been better if the Toast page was also set to “not accept orders at this time” to avoid such issues.
- UXThe UX is the single worst thing I've ever used
- delivery orderscooks were busy with delivery orders (like DoorDash), which they prioritized
- design choiceI literally could not figure out how to add my order until I realized I was on the "meal" tab instead of a single toast tab. That is the most moronic design choice I’ve ever seen. Instead, show all the toast options and add a checkbox to "make a meal".
- excessive wait timeHOW LONG THE FOOD TAKES!
If you're planning a quick visit, especially for online orders or grab-n-go, you might have a smooth experience. However, be prepared for potentially long waits and some frustration with the ordering kiosks, which could dampen your visit.

If youre looking for a cute spot with good outdoor options and dont mind a potential hunt for parking or a bit of a crowd, the ambience here could be a pleasant surprise. However, if ample indoor seating and quiet are top priorities, you might find it a bit challenging.
Value (6.7 out of 10)

Many diners rave about the reasonable prices and how affordable the sandwiches are, often calling them cheap for the quality.

- priceFood is quite good for the price
- pricesWe initially waited about 20 minutes outside before going in to place our order for three sandwiches and two coffees. While the outdoor waiting area is nice and the prices are fairly reasonable ($36 for three sandwiches and two coffees), the wait time after ordering was excessively long, even for a soft opening. We waited almost 40 minutes for our food, and unfortunately, two of the sandwiches were barely warm.

- cheapIt's cheap, delicious
- costthe cost seems quite reasonable
- price pointI absolutely love their toast; it's so tasty. While some might prefer their toast to have a uniform flavor, I personally enjoy the distinct flavor, excellent quality, and reasonable price point. The giant egg statue is also a highlight – it's funny and serves as a fantastic centerpiece, adding to the overall atmosphere.
- pricingPricing is very good, very fair!
- sandwichThe sandwich was very affordable

Frequently criticized
- priceAll in all, I would recommend it to try, but I probably won't be going back for a while. TLDR: Good flavors / Full price + Half Sandwich = Toast N Egg.
- Google ratingthey definitely don’t deserve 3.9 on google
- WayguWaygu is too expensive at about its normal $14 menu price
- wagyu sandwichsomeone complained a wagyu sandwich cost too much for $14
Overall, if you're after a generally affordable and tasty sandwich, especially for breakfast, this spot is a solid contender. Just be aware that some premium items might feel a bit steep, so pick your order carefully to ensure you get the best bang for your buck.

Disappointing Avocado and Egg Sandwich
I was excited to try this place but was ultimately disappointed. I ordered the avocado and egg sandwich, which was surprisingly sweet and nasty. I would probably order it again without the kiwi sauce.
Additionally, all of the egg was concentrated in the first couple of bites, which was not ideal.

Good Food, Terrible Cleanliness
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the sandwich was good and the food received a high rating, the overall atmosphere was severely lacking due to cleanliness issues. The place was dirty with lots of leftover stuff and napkins on the floor.
Seeing the mess in the kitchen while they were preparing food made me lose my appetite. The food itself was great, but the atmosphere was a significant letdown.

Delicious Crab and Corn Sandwich
I was surprised by all the negative reviews here. My experience was great! I got the crab and corn, and it was delicious.
The bread was soft and sweet, and the eggs were fluffy, which, while not my favorite texture usually, worked well for this style of sandwich. For a breakfast-sized sandwich in SF, $7 is reasonable. I'm glad to have them in the area.
For those concerned about being forced to order a combo, you can choose the sandwich only option on the left side of the screen; the combo is just the first item listed.

Worst Egg Sandwich Experience
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly negative, primarily due to the worst egg sandwich I have ever had. I am making this post to highlight the issue, and I urge you to watch the video I've shared to understand how the food is prepared, which will explain its poor quality. The food received a very low rating of 2.

Cute Decor, Slow Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The decor is undeniably cute, and the giant egg adds a unique touch. However, the seating is limited due to this feature.
While the food, service, and atmosphere all received a perfect score of 5, the actual service felt a bit slow. This is understandable given the current momentum of the place, suggesting they might need to hire more staff as they grow. Overall, it's a charming spot with potential, but be prepared for a potentially slower pace of service.
