Toast Cafe & Restaurant

The last half a year, I have been hearing a lot about a new dairy place in Manchester, NJ near Lakewood. I decided this week was the time to check it out. While I though Manchester was like a 20 min drive, it was actually just under 10 min from my house. Its located in a nice plaza with plenty of parking. The establishment itself is brand new on the inside, modern design, LED lighting and most importantly spacious and air conditioned. The manager/owner/chef Yehuda is usually at the front register. He was very welcoming and told us to order and find a seat. It wasn't long before the first dishes started to arrive.

While this week was exceptionally hot and humid, with the air on I actually was comfortable enough to order their chunky vegetable soup. I happen to love soup, though I rarely order it in a restaurant. This soup had so much flavor and depth. Yehuda told us that there were no preservatives and its made fresh in house. I honestly told him to approach several of the wedding halls in the vicinity and offer them his soup since it was so much better then your average wedding fair. I paired that with some mozzarella triangles which came with some piping hot house marinara. First off they were quite crispy the way they should be, with a crunch. Gooey melty cheesy on the inside and that sauce... wow! The perfect bite!

Next we moved onto some drinks. We got three. The Peanut Butter Cup milkshake, a Ferrero Milkshake and a Lotus milkshake. Each was unique and refreshing and quite flavorful. I have to say my favorite was the Ferrero. It was time to eat some food.

We got three dishes. First was the Vodka Pizza. I know, I know, it sounds weird. Vodka Penne ON a pie of pizza. It might have been a little messy to eat, but the flavors were spot on! I highly recommend! Then we got the regular Penne A La Vodka, kinda like a staple you need to try in any dairy restaurant. It was really good. We got a order of the fettuccine Alfredo which I don't usually get, but I wanted to try. I don't like cheese heavy dishes, but this was really creamy and with perfectly cooked pasta. Lastly another dish that is a staple, Shakshuka with fresh sourdough bread. Its amazing how many places make the same dish but the each add something unique that makes their version different. I tasted the cumin immediately. It was hot and delicious. We even took some leftover for the next day.

All in all, I highly reccomend, you will be pleasantly surprised. They open at 8:30am and close I think about 4:30 so its not a dinner place. On the other hand if you are making a bris or want a nice classy modern place for a sheva brochos with amazing food, call Toast today!

Really good food, very fresh. Original menu items. Friendly staff. Good Service. Very clean. Checks all boxes. Definitely will travel in again from Lakewood. A must try.

The food is delicious! Always fresh and tasty, always hits the spot! There's something for everyone on the menu. Fairly priced and great service.
Thank you TOAST!

Very impressed! Even though they're in the "soft opening" phase, we were pleasantly surprised by the price, and just as importantly, the quality of the food here. Very affordable, especially compared to prices from other kosher bagel places nearby, and everything was delicious! Place has a nice laid back atmosphere that's perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch with a spouse or friend/s. Highly recommended!

What a great place! The staff are so devoted and helpful! Great service and so friendly! Such a great and tasteful atmosphere, well constructed and designed! And the food is just plain delicious with creative and well crafted options besides all the regulars! Highly recommend!

I had the pancakes and a tuna sandwich while I ate here. And my wife had the breakfast special. It was really nice was a bit crowded when we went on a Sunday morning

I ordered food, via Uber eats, and received only half the order. Uber refused to refund and told me “this order is ineligible for a refund”. I called the restaurant itself, and spoke to a very nice gentleman who told me he would take care of the problem, and that someone would call me back. I received a call back within 5 minutes and another nice gentleman told me I would receive the missing items within 15 minutes. Incredible customer service!!!
The food was incredible, too!

Wonderful experience. Food was delicious and prepared to perfection, especially the penne a la vodka and blooming onion. Management was friendly and service was super quick. Will definitely return in the future. Really impressed.

Ordered avocado toast and iced coffee and they were both delicious!

Great service with a smile and a really nice sit down area.

It's on my way to the office so you can be sure that I'll be stopping in here pretty often.
