In Montclair, New Jersey, Toast has become a neighborhood staple where mornings start with the aroma of fresh coffee, sizzling griddles, and the kind of welcoming atmosphere that keeps guests coming back year after year. Long before the modern brunch boom swept across the country, founder Amy Russo had already imagined a different kind of breakfast experience […]
By Natalie Civadelic | February 26, 2026 Openings Toast City Diner, Montclair When Toast opened its Montclair doors in 2007, its motto was simple: “Peace, Love & Pancakes.” Nearly 20 years later, the woman-owned brand has expanded to Asbury Park, Cranford, Manalapan and Red Bank.

This trendy yet homey brunch spot is a great choice for taking the kids to while meeting up with friends or to change up the morning routine. The diner serves up pancakes, sandwiches, scrambles, specialty coffee, and more to satisfy anyone’s cravings. The kids’ menu has selections like eggs, french toast, and chicken fingers with an extensive selection of drinks like milkshakes, juices, and milk or chocolate milk.
Valentine’s Day is to restaurant lovers what Black Friday is to shoppers or New Year’s Eve is to drinkers. It’s amateur night.
It’s often the busiest restaurant night of the year, when people who never go out to eat suddenly decide they must woo their lover, Hallmark-style, and feverishly book a last-minute 5 p.m. reservation in an already overbooked restaurant.
What if, this year, we postpone our intimate celebration for a more relaxed time — the food and service will be better, trust me — and choose instead to woo the other loves in our life? These people deserve a Valentine too — the children, the grandparents, the friends. And what if, instead of white wine and white tablecloths, we took them to a really fun, really nice breakfast?
Five minutes away from Toast Montclair, we learned the impossible: Toast advertises a ridiculously appetizing brunch menu without mentioning that the restaurant is BYOB. Our brains go into overdrive. It’s official, we about to attend Runch, brunch without the “B.” The “B” in brunch referring to booze instead of the beginning of breakfast, clearly. Don’t get us wrong, we love BYOB. What we do not love? Getting blind-sided by a BYOB. Just give us some warning, people! Word for the wise: if a brunch menu does not list its boozey drinks, it probably doesn’t have boozey drinks.
Enter Merit Wines to the rescue. About a block away from Toast, we were able to pick up a bottle of champagne to pour over some orange juice. Given the usual 30-40 minute wait time for a table, it’s completely reasonable to walk down the street and peruse for your preferred libation. While we did not take that chance and bought our champagne prior to putting our names in, we are also here to spread some extra words of wisdom (or at least, experience).
