“Toast Cafe absolutely knocked it out of the park for our Sheva Brochos!
We hosted the entire event there (about 40 guests) and from start to finish everything was top-notch. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious—everyone raved about the salmon especially. Portion sizes were generous and everything was perfectly seasoned.
The staff was warm, professional, and genuinely excited to be part of our simcha. Service throughout the night was seamless, and the manager personally checked in multiple times to make sure we had everything that we needed.
The space itself is clean, modern, and felt perfect for an family Sheva Brochos—elegant but not stuffy. Pricing was very fair for the quality and service we received.
Highly recommend Toast Cafe for private events, especially in the frum community. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you for helping make our Sheva Brochos so special!
Will definitely be back for brunch too 😊“

“Ordered a bacon egg and cheese. How come the kitchen doesn’t do salt pepper ketchup? Excellent sandwich. But if I’m expected to sit there, open up the bun, and use those tiny little salt, pepper and ketchup packets myself then I will not be coming back.

Genuinely great food and staff. But what type of policy is this? In my multiple decades of being alive, not once have I come across this situation. Every other deli/bagel place knows the SPK drill.

Hopefully this review gets in front of the right people.“

“I’ve been coming to JT’s bagels since they opened and it’s literally the only place where I’ll get a bagel from! Consistency is key. I moved away 5 years ago and I’m officially back in Jersey for good and they’re still as perfect as I remember them! I would literally crave them. My 3 year old was born in Hawaii, a little local boy. He had his first ever, Jersey bagel from JTs and LOVED it! Needless to say, this is the best place to get your bagels from!“
