The Friendly Toast is a scratch kitchen and bar known for our creative menu, one-of-a-kind drinks, and nostalgia on shuffle-mode.

There’s something nostalgic and thoroughly comforting about all-day brunch, which is exactly what The Friendly Toast serves up seven days a week. The newest restaurant, the 11th location in New England, just opened in Harvard Square and is ready to embrace diners in the mouthwatering smell of piled-high pancakes and behemoth benedicts. This isn’t just any breakfast joint, though: The Friendly Toast prioritizes a scratch kitchen approach with unique riffs on Chicken & Waffles and avocado toast flights. The creativity extends to the bar presentations of maple bacon bloody Marys and spiked coffee flights. The latest venue can seat up to 160 guests between the vintage-inspired dining room with an assortment of primary colored walls, booths, and tables, as well as a mid-century styled bar. The Friendly Toast is all about doing good, too, aiming to give back to the local community and charitable organizations through seasonal specials. “We take pride in the communities in which we are a part of,” said Scott Pulver, co-owner of The Friendly Toast. “As we get to know Harvard Square’s residents, we’re eager to partner with organizations that impact this area and ways we can help them continue to thrive.”
