Burnt Toast

TLDR: Excellent brunch bar to chill with friends. Exceptional dishes and service. I came here in the morning on a Sunday around 9. I ordered an Irish Coffee, Cactus Mike, and The Tuscan. Irish Coffee: This was my first time trying Irish whiskey, but I generally have a preference for stiff drinks. The way that this was balanced though; the whiskey was not too overpowering, and mixed well with the coffee and cream The Tuscan: This was my first time trying Burrata Cheese. For anyone else new to it, imagine a mozzarella ball, but with a cottage cheese curd texture inside. The tomatoes, spinach and cheese were fresh, and cooked to perfection to preserve the balance between the flavor and temperature of the dish. The eggs were unseasoned, but there are condiments at each table you can use, such as hot sauce ( Tabasco, Cholula) and salt and pepper. With hashbrowns, you normally have to be concerned with them being overcooked to the point of being too crunchy or undercooked to be soggy, but that was not an issue here. The bacon bits were cooked to a good balanced crisp too, and the balsamic vinaigrette added just the right tang to the dish. Cactus Mike: The fruit was fresh, and you could actually taste it quite well through the dish. You can tell they were fresh because the yogurt was not mixed in thoroughly to mask the taste. Whoever sources the fruit here did well. Overall time and preparation: I did not wait long after ordering, which was surprising with the exceptional quality of the dishes. For reference, it was between 5-7 minutes wait for the dishes, and it was out pretty quick. Customer Service: Friendly and approachable. They kept approaching and refilling drinks quite quickly and were excellent in terms of response and initiative. It's a place I'd like to return to, especially with some friends or the fam. Atmosphere: Music plays over the speakers, but I would say it's at a reasonable volume for someone showing up in the morning to grab brunch. Whoever operates the AUX had some good songs on there too; its a unique atmosphere that makes you almost think of a cafe with notes of a chill place to hang out for a bit. Definitely will return when I'm not busy.

Highly recommend Burnt Toast for breakfast/brunch/lunch in Colorado Springs. The Shrimp & Grits are my go-to, but their hot honey chicken wrap is also a lunch favorite. The coffee is some of the best around. Moriah & the staff are always welcoming & attentive, A+ service. Always enjoy Burnt Toast, thank me later!

First time guests and had a fabulous experience! Kati was very friendly and a great server. We went early on a Saturday and had no trouble getting a seat. The biscuits and gravy with some of the best we've ever had. The gravy is very flavorful and delicious. The French toast was full of flavor and absolutely a treat to enjoy. The sausage links were surprisingly flavorful and well seasoned. We love supporting small, local businesses. Highly recommend giving them a try. You won't regret it.

Stopped in with a friend on a Monday morning so there was no problem with a wait or seating. We thought there were a good amount of options of both drinks and food. We decided on an Irish coffee and a flavored mimosa. Food came out not long after ordering and we really enjoyed it! There was good flavor and the eggs were done perfectly. Best that I can describe it was good classic breakfast cooking. We sat and talked for a good while, which tells me how cozy the atmosphere in the place is. I'll definitely go back here.

The food was good, there’s no doubt of that. I’m Celiac, so I ordered gluten free French toast flight and while it was really good, I also got really sick from it. I’m not sure if there was cross contamination, or what, all I know was that I was sick all day and night. That was the only place I ate at that day, the rest of my meals were at home. Having said that, if you don’t have have any allergies or sensitivities, this place would be great, however, for me this place goes on my “No-go” list, too risky for me to eat there.

Had the opportunity to enjoy a brunch at this place Sunday morning after church and it did not disappoint. This was a Greek yogurt parfait with agave some mixed fruit and granola. It was delicious, our server was amazing, and the prices were decent.

This was our first time here, and it was amazing. Definitely coming back. The service was great, fast, and friendly. The food was a whole different experience. It was top notch, melt in your mouth.

My new favorite local breakfast spot! Food was delicious and there was no wait when we arrived before 9am on a Saturday morning.

I really enjoyed my visit! My waitress was so knowledgeable!!! She deserves a raise! My meal hot and delicious. My drink was very refreshing. I would definitely visit again.

Extremely solid breakfast that I would be happy to come back to. Had the feast which is a standard American breakfast platter. The best part was the hash browns, actually crispy outside with just enough soft parts. Could have been salted a bit more but most breakfast places do not cook their hashbrowns enough. The French toast was also great, not too eggy, nice cinnamon flavor and not overly sweet. The burrito was good, the green chile was nice, not too spicy and had nice flavor. The burrito had some nice crunch and freshness. Great food and will be coming back.

This place deserves to be recognized! The food is not only creative but it is delicious and the portions are so massive that you will certainly leave with leftovers to enjoy later! My favorite is the breakfast burrito, the house made green chili deserves to be put on everything and they should sell this by the bottle so we can take it home...it's that good! Pro tip, you can order the trio of French toast for a large table as a dessert OR a side of any of the flavors of French toast as an add on to your meal....I like the peaches & pecans one the best! The place is real cute, diner style but also features a nice patio for those beautiful Colorado days. On a weekend the service can be a little slow at times but only because they are busy and it is well worth the wait! Highly recommend this unique breakfast/lunch spot...everything on the menu is a hit!

Cannot recommend the bienvenidos burrito enough. It was massive, fresh, delicious & did I mention massive?? Great kid menu, great atmosphere. Indoor or outdoor seating options. Very friendly staff. This place checks all the boxes!

First, this place is in a great location. It's a small cute little cafe. I went here early for breakfast and sadly I was disappointed in everything. We arrived and waitress had an attitude. She acted as if she didn't want us there, the only time she showed any kindness was near tip time. So, it was obvious she was being FAKE. The presentation of the food was exceptional, but the flavors were just not there for me. Im not a fan of the chile gravy that they put all over the plate under the burrito. I'd rather have my gravy with mashed potatoes. As always just do your research before coming to this location.

Food was delicious and service was great too! We had a large party of 13 people and our servers did not disappoint! Food came out at a timely manner and everyone was very happy with it

Early morning breakfast at Burnt Toast after hiking. There was no wait and we're sat in the patio right away. Patio has great views of the mountains (and Home Depot) but was great. Food was good, good portions, and lots of options to chose from. Ample of parking in the private lot.

First off, food is delicious! Huge portions cooked very well and exactly as ordered. Add to that a warm, inviting ambiance, full bar for morning cocktails & mimosas, and a menu that would make any chef drool, and you've got a hit! And if that wasn't enough, the staff are top notch! Service is always with a smile and they treat you like family! Katie, Brandi and all the ladies are the absolute BEST! Even when it's busy, and it can get REALLY BUSY, you never lack for their attention when needed. Overall, it's one of (if not THE) best place for breakfast/brunch in the Springs! Do not skip it! You'll love it!

We arrived on a rainy day for our brunch date here at The Burnt Toast. It's smaller (66) inside than I expected but very nice atmosphere. The wait was about 30-40 minutes coming in at 10:30ish. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We both had The Feast, $18 that came with french toast, eggs, bacon, sausage and hash browns. I would recommend for sure! Everything tasted great, except my boyfriend got an overcooked French toast. But that was the only negative. I recommend getting onto the waitlist prior to arrival since you know your timing,

I had a great experience at Burnt Toast yesterday. We went to the academy location. This location is a tad small so if you have a large party it may be best to go earlier in the morning as there is not much waiting space. The staff was friendly from the moment we walked in the door. We were a party of two and got seated very quickly. As a vegan it's hard to find breakfast places and my option is usually avocado toast ( I'm not mad about that). This avocado toast was better than many other places I've been in town. It was $14 and the toast was large and jam packed with delicious flavors. I loved that glaze on the plate to dip the toast in. There were carrots, zucchini, sprouts, arugula, and I think onions. The toppings were stacked high and the flavor was dimensional. I really enjoyed eating here and would go back!

Nice little brunch place. Gets really busy but the service was really good and friendly. They wont sit your table until the whole party is there but they still had plenty of tables. You can't go wrong with a mimosa flight and some delicious French toast flight to go with it. Give it a try if you're in the area!

Food is very good. We split the breakfast burrito. More than enough for both of us. On the spicy side but not over the top.

We came in as a group of 13, and even though we arrived first, the manager refused to seat us. Instead of accommodating our party, they told us they preferred to give the tables to smaller groups that came in after us. It felt unfair and disrespectful, especially since we were willing to wait and had planned ahead to eat together. The lack of hospitality and customer care from management really ruined the experience before we even got to try the food. We left to another restaurant due to this and manager didn't seem to care.

Do not skip on this place!! This review is overdue but very deserving. We came in with a big group from work and right away they worked to get a table set up for our party. The server answered all our questions and made helpful suggestions. We all ordered a few different dishes, everything sounded so delicious! When the dishes came out, we were thoroughly impressed by the generous servings and beautiful presentation. I ordered the smothered burger without cheese. It did come out with cheese but they fixed it right away. I was so hungry I didn't get a picture. But I did try everything that everyone else had and it was all so delicious! The quality of ingredients were superb. The server explained everything was made in house and ingredients were sourced locally when possible. It's very obvious they go out of their way to make sure each dish is of the highest quality. This is easily one of my favorite breakfast spots now and I'm not even a breakfast person! Go and enjoy!!

We were at out grandkids baseball game and were pressed for time. Wr called ahead and were told they would hold a table for us. We got there and the place was packed. We lost our table. Got there at 10 minutes exactly. Too many customers... the staff didn't try to help up. We went somewhere else close. Guss we will never know if the service or food was any good

Lunch at Burnt Toast on Academy is the Best! I got a LIT (Long Island Iced Tea) Garden Avocado Toast ( I am going to have Dreams about that!) and carnitas. Mandy and Brandy and delightful.

Absolute worst experience. We were waiting for over an hour and a half for our table. We watched party after party of large groups go in when we were next in line. These parties were the same size if not bigger than us. They acted like we have a party of 12. We literally were a party of 5. One of which was a child who can sit in a high chair. We went to get our child some food cuz we waited for so long. Then they booted us off the list. We were basically next door still waiting to be seated. I'm so mad that I will never even attempt to go back or recommend it.

We waited a hour and a half and never got seated. I will never go back to this place again! On a other note, the Buffalo wild wings across the street had great service and got seated right away.

The food at Burnt Toast was delicious. I got the Tuscan breakfast and my hubby got The Mess. The barrata cheese with balsamic was an interesting addition and it was absolutely spot on - delicious! My hubby said the Mess was delicious as well; however, he got it without curry. The only thing he added was hot sauce. We highly recommend both!!! The service was top notch as well. We are from a different generation that doesn't take pictures of our food so you'll have to trust us The portions are large as well. This was our first time eating there but certainly not our last. Looking forward to taking our family when they're in town next week.

Burnt Toast is going to have to step up their game to survive. Within a half mile there is Snooze, First Watch, IHOP and Mimi's. Service was fine. Not too laid back but also didn't give us the "hurry up" vibes. The breakfast items (a "scram-bowl" and French toast) were rather underwhelming. But for the price tag I was expecting more. More food and just better. Not likely rushing back.

Food super borrowed, biscuits and gravy were awful. I returned them. I never do that. A side of toast used to be 2 slices of bread not 1. For 18$ maybe 2 slices. Giggly giggly servers got super annoying. Not friendly. They must of been popular in high school and can't let it go?? A guy came in sat for a while and just left. I truly hope the owner is reading this. Not going back.

The food was subpar at best and overpriced. The service was also subpar. I would never go back there. The ambience was not special. We ate outside, which is the parking lot entrance for Home Depot.

The food was sooo good. My favorite was the Egg-egg rolls. We had the turkey apple melt. I personally would add more caramelized onion next time. Sweet potatoes perfect The Mess bowl was the perfect curry to the eggs potatoes and sausage. Yum!! My step son tried the Peanut Butter Bacon burger and was really impressed. The vibe is cool, staff are smiling and helpful. I would recommend!! I didn't get a pic of the egg rolls because we grabbed them quick and ate those down

My husband and I went to Burnt Toast on N. Academy on a Saturday morning. They were pretty busy and it seemed like they were short staffed but the few ladies that they had there were really working hard to keep everyone happy. We both ordered the breakfast burrito. It was very delicious and the green chile was pretty good (not one of my favorites). My husband said the chorizo was nice and spicy. I had substituted bacon. The presentation was beautiful. The only reason I gave it a lower rating was because the breakfast burrito is $20. I normally order a burrito for breakfast at all of my favorite places in town and they vary in price from $11 up to $15. This was the highest priced burrito I have seen. With tip, one iced tea and water our bill was $57 which was a bit over the top. So, yes, it was a delicious meal but definitely not worth the price we paid.

Went to eat with my husband to burnt Toast, I ordered Huevos Rancheros. I have to tell it's the best one I had yet. It's a must to go and have breakfast etc. my husband had Bienvenidos which he said it's very tasty and filling. We will be back again cone one cone all. You'll love it. Great coffee too.

The food was very good, the ambience was good as well. Portions were ok-I had the shrimp and grits. I had the Long Island coffee and it was very tasty!

Food was delicious. Portions were generous. Service was good. Not bad but not great. Prices were a bit high for our norm. So likely only a special occasion brunch type place for us. Ambiance: tiny and LOUD. We could barely hear each other and had to speak loudly the whole meal. Not great for a relaxing brunch out. We'd go back but maybe when we could sit on the patio.

Service was quite abysmal, and not very nice. Food was actually pretty good but really overpriced for the amount you receive

Our server was great! The food was delicious and a good sized portion! On a Friday around 10am we were seated for two very quickly! We ordered two meals, one slice of avocado toast, and two coffees for a painful price of $60!!! That did not include the tip and just way too much for a breakfast outting! Very sad that it will cause us not to dine there again.

We had a fabulous breakfast! About a 15 minute wait for two of us on a Sunday which isn't bad at all. Our waitress was super friendly. The coffee was awesome, I just wish they had an espresso machine for lattes and such. The breakfast egg rolls (sounds wild, I know) were SO GOOD. Their green chili is delicious. My French toast, eggs, and sausage links (seemed like the links were from scratch possibly) were perfect. We'll definitely be back.

The service was great and the ambience was fine and I really liked the food. I had good French toast and eggs. I will eat there again!

We ate on their nice outside patio...service was excellent & friendly (Kate)!!! My friend & I both had the breakfast street tacos...SO delicious!! The ambience inside is kind of a fun diner/retro theme. They had lots of yummy, out of the ordinary breakfast options, so looking forward to dining there again soon!!

We had "The Mess" and the "southwestern" and they were so good!!! The service was also amazing. Glad to have such a good breakfast place close by! We'll be back for sure

I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Burnt Toast. I went with a girlfriend to eat and catch up. The food was delicious and the service was great! Our waitress was super nice and attentive. Sitting on the patio was wonderful as we enjoyed the fresh air. I would definitely recommend this place as a breakfast or lunch spot.

Food was delicious! We are from Houston and the huevos rancheros was probably the best we've ever had!

20 stars!!! This place is amazing. Their cantaloupe mimosa is super delicious. I'm a green chili snob and theirs is super delicious. I feel bad because I leave a lot of bad reviews at places I severely do not like. I LOVE this place.

Came in with my toddler, the service was great, waitress and staff were very friendly and kind. Service was fast even though it was moderately busy. Ambiance was chill. I ordered a simple breakfast, over medium eggs (no one ever gets this right, always over easy) they were cooked exactly how I like them. Hash browns were very good and sourdough toast good. The only things and why I give 4 stars is our bacon was way too hard to bite, it tasted ok and u love crispy bacon but maybe this was overcooked in a big batch then served rather then fresh. The caramel cold brew was very good. I'd like to come back and try there other items but it is a bit pricey. Overall good experience

The food here was incredible! Such a cozy little brunch spot and the service was amazing! Def worth stopping in!
