Order the French toast at TOAST and it can arrive crusted in Cinnamon Toast Crunch, glossed with vanilla icing, and piled with almond granola and whipped cream — breakfast pushed most of the way toward dessert. Order the Hungry Man Special and the same kitchen sends out three eggs, two strips of bacon, two sausages, ham, house potatoes, toast, and two pancakes, a plate built to outlast a morning's worth of hunger. TOAST lives in the distance between those two orders. It turns familiar morning comfort into something specific and a little theatrical, and it never pretends that brunch, for most of the tables here, isn't still meant to be a full meal.
The clearest version of that identity sits on the sweet specialties board. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch French toast takes thick slices, coats them in the cereal itself, and finishes with vanilla icing, almond granola, and whipped cream — childhood breakfast rebuilt as a brunch centrepiece. Red velvet pancakes arrive under a cream cheese glaze with fresh strawberries, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream. A Belgian waffle comes crowned with Louisiana-style boneless fried chicken, the sweet-and-savoury order the menu leans on hardest. These are not generic brunch labels; they are the plates that make TOAST easy to remember and easy to recommend.

Hearty Comfort Plates
TOAST is useful for diners who want brunch to feel like a full meal. Hungry Man Special, breakfast poutine, Benedicts with house potatoes, and the skillet section give the kitchen a sturdy comfort-food base.
03
Daytime Windsor Utility
The restaurant works as a focused daytime stop in Windsor: breakfast-first, brunch-friendly, and broad enough for mixed tables. Sweet plates, skillets, omelettes, salads, sandwiches, burgers, and wraps give it more range than a narrow brunch room.

How to eat at TOAST
1
Order the Cinnamon Toast Crunch French Toast
Start with the dish that makes TOAST easiest to understand: cereal-coated French toast with vanilla icing, almond granola, and whipped cream. It is the order that turns the room's breakfast-first identity into something specific.
2
Split Sweet and Savoury Brunch Orders
A good table here pairs one sweet plate with something saltier: Cinnamon Toast Crunch French Toast beside Chicken N Waffles, Authentic Breakfast Poutine, or a Benedict. The contrast is where the menu has the most range.
3
Use the Skillets for Bigger Appetites
The skillet section is the most practical move for diners who want a heavier brunch. Country, Greek, Western, Veggie, and Chicken skillets all build around eggs, house potatoes, and add-ins rather than a single small plate.
4
Keep Avocado Toast in the Mix
Avocado Toast and the Pineapple Yogurt Boat keep the menu from becoming only sugar and potatoes. Use one of them when the table needs a fresher order beside pancakes, French toast, waffles, or a skillet.
5
Plan Around Daytime Service
TOAST is a breakfast-and-brunch stop with daytime hours and a closed Monday schedule. Treat it as a morning or early-afternoon plan, especially when the table wants Benedicts, skillets, and sweet brunch plates in one visit.
