Everything at Toast is DELICIOUS!! As an industry member myself, I appreciate their changing menu, seasonality, freshness, and originality, all while keeping the prices surprisingly low. These days, it seems like I can't get a good lunch for under $18. At toast, I can get 2 delicious crostinis, a soup, and a drink from $10-$12. Their lentil soup is honestly the best lentil soup I've ever had, their merguez crostinis are a delight, and the service is all I could ever ask for, with my orders always quickly fulfilled and piping hot when I pick them up. This is probably my dream restaurant: limited hours, changing menu, flavor-focused. Nothing fancy-schmancy, just good ol' cookery and deliciousness. LOVE THIS PLACE!

This restaurant has gone downhill. Todays meal was equal parts, dry, greasy and bland.

Taste of Carolina - Durham Food Tour - 23 Dec 2023 Wow, Taste of Carolina really delivered some excellent bites in Durham today. Our agenda today included stops at: Toasted, Boricua Soul, Queeny's, Bull City Burger, sweets by Shayda. All restaurants did an excellent job. There were six in our party. Here are my individual notes. Toasted - Toasted has been thriving in Durham for over a decade. They offer unique soups and toasted bites/panini's. We were served a cauliflower soup and an avocado crustini. I loved the cauliflower soup. It was surprisingly creamy and tasty. Two In our party loved the avacado crustini, Boricua Soul - This place is special. The husband and wife owners have a captivating story to share about the historical and Philosophical origins of their culinary adventure. They served us a "lunch box" with perfectly prepared Puerto Rican roast pork, greens (soul food) , Mac & Cheese (soul food) and tostones (Puerto Rican). It was a huge bite and was the favorite stop for 5 people in our party. Next time we attend a Durham Bulls game we plan to eat here. Queeny's - is a friendly, creative bar / pub. They served us upscale nachos and a glass of dry cider. The nachos were very popular. The dry cider was interesting and unique. They owner made us feel welcome and encouraged us to try the many well designed drinks and bar foods. Bill City Burgers - The owner do an outstanding job describing his unique commitment to serving only Greason fed beef raised locally and making every item served here in house by his team of chefs. The burgers were excellent. They were bursting with beefy flavor and cooked perfectly. Be sure to try the deep fried pickles. So unique and loved by all. Two in our party picked this stop as their "Best Bite" selection. Sweets by Sayda - our last stop offered devine French Pastries. Macrons, croissants and other delicacies were shared. Share these pastries with those you love. They will treasure these treats. Lastly, I would like to share our deep appreciation to the folks at "Taste of Carolina" food tours. Our hosts had to manage finding a fifth stop today since their schedule included a venue who had to close due to kitchen staff all falling ill. In addition, I was recently released from the hospital due to foot surgery. These made waking very difficult. Our hosts did everything possible to make sure I was included in all of the stops. We plan on doing these Taste of Carolina Tours in the future: Hillsborough, Carrboro and Winston-Salem.

I didn't care too much for the selections that I chose. Strange combinations and I can't say that I enjoyed the flavors. If I were to go back, I would try different options, but I had the one with mushrooms on it, the one with sausage, and the one with a dried meat. Three, the mushrooms tasted better, but there was strange heat to them that did not add to the taste. The salad was OK. Service and staff are excellent. I may go back and try a different option. It is definitely strange that you have to stand outside to order, it was a cold windy day

Super delicious panini sandwich shop which a lovely outdoor seating area in the middle of downtown Durham. Good, quick service even during lunch time rush. Great selections of paninis. Staff were super nice. Loved the pesto chicken panini. Solid crunch on the bread without being over-toasted. Toast toasts to perfection.

Kelli and Billy have been operating Toast for 16 years!!! That should tell you enough. Sandwiches & soups are seasonal so you can always find something new. Great for a lunch meeting or consider them for an office order......it will not disappoint!!! This is a no brainer for a lunch stop in downtown Durham.
