We hit up Toasted Gastrobrunch in Oceanside several times while in Oceanside, and wow—what a spot! The place has a bright, welcoming atmosphere with cozy indoor seating and a sunny patio that's perfect for people-watching in downtown Oceanside. Service was quick and friendly even on a busy holiday morning. Monte Cristo — Crispy, golden, and stuffed perfectly, with the sweet-savory balance and powdered sugar dusting. Chicken and Waffles — The chicken was super crispy and juicy, waffles fluffy, and hot sauce syrup drizzle. Genius move. Steak and Eggs — Steak cooked right, eggs over easy, and those potatoes on the side. Eggs Benedict — Classic but elevated—perfectly poached eggs, rich hollandaise that wasn't too heavy. ABC Hash — Avocado, pork belly, cheddar, potatoes, topped with two up eggs. The pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender, creamy avocado balanced the richness, and everything came together so well. Portions are generous too! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Coffee was strong and hot, and we loved the little touches like house-made jams. Great value for the quality—definitely worth it if you're in the area craving elevated brunch. We'll be back for sure, maybe to try the smoked salmon toast or kanafee next time!

BELIEVE THE 5-STAR REVIEWS! OMG... Toasted Gastrobrunch is definitely on my regular restaurant rotation now. It's highly recommended by Yelpers far and wide, as a brunch enthusiast I can verify this is a phenomenal place. I heard great things about the A-B-C Hash (Shoutout to our friend Audrey the Yelp CM who recommended this dish) so I had to try it! I ordered it with a side of rosemary sourdough and oof, it was an other-worldly experience. The avocado was perfect, I typically don't eat avo but this place changed my mind. Everything from the potatoes, meat, and eggs was fresh and premium quality. We tried a flight of mimosas (pear, lavender, etc.) and they had a good amount of alcohol. The flight glasses were mini-size, so we got some extra soft drinks just in case. Service was a little wonky, we didn't have too many check-ins from our waitress. Our drinks didn't get refilled regularly, that was a little troubling. We just got a lazy vibe from some of the staff. Thankfully, this didn't ruin the experience, but we'd appreciate better service next time! I WILL give kudos to a gentleman from the staff who sent away a homeless dude who was about to start stuff. He tactfully handled the situation, and called security without causing a disruption for guests. The restaurant was trendy, but it never felt like it was trying too hard. It was a cool place, I enjoyed the outdoor patio ALOT! I definitely like the comfortable brunch atmosphere. Oh, and their kitchen is stunning, I love getting to see the chefs in action! Note: I checked on their Yelp page, they have a Yelp waitlist!! Be sure to secure your slot!
The atmosphere is amazing. I love that they are extremely dog friendly. Our wait Saul was excellent! He took great care of us. We did patio seating since we brought our dog but dogs are allowed for indoor seating. Hubby ordered the monster bBoody Mary and I had the white peach belini. Both were a 10. The kids ordered the chocolate chip pancakes combo. Both had mix reactions. Both said the pancakes were a 9 but the sausage was different. My oldest sone rated it a 10 and my other son rates it a 7. Hubby got the lobster scrambled. The potato balls is so good and he said the scrambled was a 9. I got the basic pancake combo with bacon. The pancakes were super fluffy and the bacon was soo good. We will be back just to try other things on the menu. If you are in the area, please give it a try.
Yummy breakfast!! Very casual, and laid back atmosphere!! Enjoyed the Salmon toast..so yummy!! Great waitstaff!! Definitely a great place to visit, and worth trying out for breakfast at least!!
Great location for brunch! Lots of seating inside and many seats on the patio with fire pits in the middle of the tables. Service: Our party of 5 took a while to be seated since apparently there were a couple of servers that called out sick and staffing was short. Knowing this, we gave our server some grace and were patient in waiting. Unfortunately, whenever we did ask for something, it felt like we were bothering him. Regardless, food came out within 10-15 minutes. Food: -Coffee Cake Cakes ($14.5): perfect enough to share with the table. Comes with 3 large pancakes and it wasn’t too sweet -Spanish Churros ($12): also shared with the table. Churros were crispy and pretty good! -Lobster Toast ($20): some pictures didn’t do it justice but this is one big toast that was very filling! There were far more bacon bits than lobster though. -Short Rib Benny ($22): my husband enjoyed this dish. Comes with round truffle potatoes which were tasty. Overall: Very cute brunch place at a nice location. Next time, I’d wanna try out their mimosa flights!
Let me start by that this place is special! The food is unique and full of flavor. This is my 2nd visit. As I finish my meal, I feel as though every aspect was thoughtfully and artfully composed by an incredible and well-trained chef! We had the eggs in purgatory, the salmon toast and the potato balls! All was excellent! Now, for the service... The manager, Cody, made sure our experience was perfect. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable. Even though he has never seen us before, he made us feel appreciated as a friend would! Justice was our server. She was very friend and attentive. Not a drop off your food and desert you type. Our coffee cups never emptied before she would check on us. For a busy restaurant that is amazing! The restaurant was clean and comfortable, maintaining the high bar this place sets!
Stopped for brunch on a Monday, and we were able to sit in a patio. They didn’t mind us (just a party of two) occupying a larger table since it was Monday. We ordered our food and flights of mimosas. The food and drinks came out without waiting too long. We shared our food, eggs in purgatory and smoked salmon, and i enjoyed them very much. Both dishes were spicy, just how I like them! The workers were friendly and efficient. We found a street parking spot with ease as it was a weekday.
My wife and I had a lot of guests coming from out of town and decided to host a 'welcome party' the night before our wedding at Toasted Gastrobrunch. We were so appreciative of the staff who helped make the night a special night for both of our families. The venue was very easy to work with leading up to the event and were clear about billing and options (food, drinks). On the day of, we brought some small decorations that they helped set up and they were extremely responsive whenever we asked for a favor. Also, my wife gave a small speech during the event and the manager recorded it for us without asking, helping us to preserve the moment which we greatly appreciated. We have also ate at the restaurant for a normal brunch and would highly recommend!
