A must visit if you are around Egham. A very pleasant atmosphere, cheery in the morning, and people seem happy to pop in for a breakfast. My pancakes were fluffy and the berry compote so luscious. You can order at the counter, or on QR code or an app if you are shy like me.

Owner operated brunch spot in Egham. It’s a great atmosphere with maybe room for maybe 20-22 covers.
We had 8 people in our party spanning four generations and there was something for everyone on the menu and everyone was so pleased with the food and service. We will come back and highly recommend.
How it works?
Amazing for walk-ins and find your seat , menus are on the wall and sauces and cutlery are set to the left hand side of the restaurant. Once you choose what you want go to the front and place your order. Remember your table number.
Get your cutlery and some ketchup, sit down and within 15 - 20 min you have all you need for a great brunch!
Food
The food is freshly made, a huge variety of brunch favorites. We would recommend the Pancakes, French Toast, Eggs Benedict and Chips. Food came out quick (especially for a party of eight!)
Service
The team does not normally take reservations. I understand this, there is no guarantee that the folks will show up and a business like this needs to make their weeks earnings on Saturday and a Sunday. However, if you call up and have a large party you might be in good luck.
The team is proffesional and make you feel like you are at a friends house for brunch rather than a restaurant. The owner operators can be heard welcoming customers aka strangers into the establishment whether they are in the front of house or giving a helping hand in the back. Equally no one get leave without a warm goodbye.
During the ordering and serving process, everything is smooth and met with a smile. Something’s might not work out, for example out of our 8 person order, one item was not in stock and the owner (not the server serving us) came out, apologized and made a very good alternate recommendations.
Drinks
Great choices. Coffee is nice and strong, kids loved their hot chocolates but the group favorite was bubble tea. All great options.
Tips
Great location if you live in Egham. If you are visiting there is paid parking at Waitrose and Tesco parking is free on Sundays ;)
Overall value
It’s rare to find good service these days and to couple that with fresh brunch favorites is very rare.
If you are looking for brunch in Egham area. Give this place a go!
It’s not easy running your own business so well done to owner operators at Egham On Toast. Keep it up, Well Done and Thank You!
Food tasted good, portion was great for the price.
The cafe needs a better numbering system for its tables, especially since the number was missing on my table and was approached around 7-8 times with peoples orders who were either sat next to me or were on tables outside.
I received my food after 20 mins and was not given my tea (which arrived with a tea bag left in it, something which I have seen other people mention in their own reviews).
It’s a shame that the waitresses spent more time caring about filming tiktoks instead of doing their job. Kitchen staff were great though and I could see them working hard to get peoples orders out.
If you live in Egham, or are visiting, and you are hungry for some good, tasty and comfort food, look no further. Eggham on Toast (yes they are called that!!) a warm and welcoming little nook that is a locals favourite.
You will have great service, local banter and excellent hot food. Priced for students the cafe is a buzzing vibrant place to sit back on a Sunday brunch and glaze through the menu for that little something to brighten up your day.
The food is standard English staples and a hearty Builder's brekkie is well appreciated by the local builders, who frequently turn up for the large platefuls and generous portions.
The delectableEggs Benedict or the version with Salmon instead of bacon is a winner and do top it all off with a hearty portion of fresh pancakes. The menu has something for everyone and the healthy vegan options are fresh and fast and you will see dollops of spinach and avocado and fresh oranges all around ... So have fun and leave them a good review too. Helps small businesses excel and guess we all owe our appreciation for them as well as any essential worker for keeping the food fantastic!
Lovely place for breakfast/brunch in egham!
Had the eggs benedict and builders breakfast- both of which tasted delicious! The bacon and sausages were very tasty and were of a good quality for the price!
Great atmosphere (you find your own table and order at the counter) and staff were very friendly!
2 brekkies with coffees for £16! Very good value and very full bellies!
Will look forward to returning when in egham next!
Amazing little find, small and cosy but food was amazing and good value considering its location. I would highly recommend this place if you fancy a nice breakfast or lunch.
Filthy! After looking at reviews on Google we decided on Egham on Toast, one thing I learnt is don't trust google reviews to be an accurate reflection of reality. Upon arrival the vacant tables were dirty & no one attempting to clean them, that is 1st strike!
We order food and tried to pay cash, told they have no change so unless I wanted to leave a generous tip I had to pay card. Not a strike but definitely annoying as had they told me that before ordering I would have gone elsewhere.
Was asked where I was sitting so I asked for a cloth to clean a table, I was handed a tissue paper napkin, seriously! 2nd strike! I declined obvs and asked for antibac and a cloth, the lady reluctantly offered to clean the table, my horror when she cleaned it with a blackened cloth, I mean zero basic hygiene standards at this cafe. STRIKE 3!
I change seats due to people smoking around me and yet another dirty table needed cleaned so as the antibac & filthy cloth was left unattended on a table near children I decided to use the antibac and took some paper tissues, the staff member came racing over and proceeded to attempt to wipe the table with the vulgar unhygienic cloth, so I said please use a clean one that is not fit for purpose! After she assessed the cloth to her credit she apologised and returned with a brand new cloth.
Food was served, well mine was but it had items I hadn't ordered, the other meal wasn't ready but why order & eat together when you can order together and eat separately ????♀️ must be a new fad I'm not privy to.
My food was inedible, the sausage looked like it had battled with Mike Tyson and lost, the egg looked ready to hatch a chick it was that raw and the mushroom ..... well I actually can't describe it but maybe you can imagine what it was like in a minute ... keep reading!
So the other breakfast arrived and it was absolutely swimming in syrup, is there a good dentist near by then again I wouldn't trust any of the reviewers from this cafe so if you are one of those please don't answer.
After fighting through an ocean of syrup a sink to wash hands was requested, "excuse me do you have a bathroom?" Keep that mushroom if your thoughts!
"Yes just through here" replied the lady behind the counter.
Walking through to the edge of the kitchen and accidentally kicking something on the floor by the toilet almost sustaining an injury were ??? Yep a stack of mushrooms! Of course where else would you store mushrooms that you are going to cook and serve to customers! Right outside a toilet door next to the kitchen is the obvious safe and hygienic place. STRIKE 4!
So after not eating my breakfast, having to ask for tables to be cleaned in the bare minimum of hygiene standards way and not drinking a mug of scaled tea I was absolutely unimpressed with leaving with a light belly and a lighter purse.
Avoid if you have bare minimum hygiene standards, fill your bellies if you love Russian roulette. I won't return or recommend.
Delicious breakfast and very friendly staff!
only one negative, coffee was not to my taste. I always like it black and go for espresso, this one was a bit bitter and too harsh for me.
