“ Cute brunch spot alert! We tried the steak and the avocado toast along with arugula salad and potato chips, bacon and fruits as a side order. The arugula salad was my favorite part of the meal; it was super fresh, and the flavor was spot on. It honestly complimented the avocado toast so much. The steak was also delicious and was cooked to our preference; it came with sauce on the side that enhanced the flavor of the steak. The bacon was super crunchy and not as salty, and the fruit cup was served fresh. There was a bit of a wait when we arrived, but the experience was great overall. The servers were pleasant and presentable, and the food was served promptly. The music background was just right and not overstimulating. ”

“ The food was good and so was the service. A little pricey but what isn't nowadays? Just enjoy. ”

“ There are few moments in life when one's expectations are so thoroughly dismantled--not by disappointment, but by sheer transcendence. Such was my experience at The Benediction, a sanctuary where the mundane act of dining ascends to the divine. Upon arrival, I was not simply seated; I was guided into an experience, orchestrated by Teresa, a server whose presence and poise belong to the realm of legend. Teresa does not merely serve food; she curates moments. Her every gesture was an invitation to revel in the extraordinary, her timing a masterclass in anticipation. The meal itself was nothing short of a revelation. At The Benediction, the ordinary concept of brunch is reimagined into an exalted ritual. Every dish that graced my table was a hymn of flavor--eggs as golden as sunlight, hollandaise that whispered secrets of perfection, and coffee brewed with a reverence one might reserve for fine art. Yet the crowning glory, the crescendo of this masterpiece, was their signature Benedict, a dish so sublime that it silenced my mind and stirred my soul. It was at once familiar and groundbreaking--a perfect balance of tradition and innovation. But it is not merely the food that secures The Benediction's place in the pantheon of culinary excellence. It is the artistry of the experience as a whole. To dine here is to be reminded that hospitality, in its purest form, is not a transaction but an art. And to be served by Teresa is to feel the warmth of a host who welcomes you not into a restaurant, but into a cherished moment of their craft. Five stars, though I am left pondering: are there stars enough to capture the radiance of an experience such as this? ”

“ Nice brunch spot located near the Puente Hills mall! There's ample seating inside and outside under white tents. We opted for inside, and luckily got a nice cozy spot in a corner of the restaurant. The Benediction lived up to its name as the Classic Benedict was delicious! And I appreciate that our waiter gave us extra hollandaise sauce at no extra charge. The hollandaise was the right consistency, not too runny, with enough flavor and the poached egg was perfect! The drinks weren't out-of-this-world amazing, but still a good pairing with our entrees if you wanted to feel a lil fancy. Our favorite of the drinks was the hot chocolate. Would definitely give the other Benedicts a try if I'm in the area for brunch! ”

“ Great brunch! Recommend to waitlist to avoid waiting too long. Service was fast, feels like the food came out less than 10 min! Ambiance: lots of chatters indoors and outdoors. Food: we've tried a few meals here: steak and eggs, french toast and salmon all were great. We love the hash potatoes and the arugula salad so refreshing! ”

“ The pancake is crispy and fluffy but it definitely tasted like it was cooked in bacon. All I tasted was bacon grease/fat. The Benedict was good but the bacon was soggy so it became chewy in my mouth. Knives are pretty dull too so it's hard to cut things without ripping it apart. Overall food was good but I wouldn't be coming again. They're extremely busy with indoor and outdoor seating. ”

“ It's all about the Benedicts here at The Benediction by Toast, as evidenced by its name. Although some reviews warn about a long wait, I suppose my party and I were lucky to arrive around the tail end of rush hour and were seated right away. There's a spacious outdoor patio with more seating options but the excruciatingly hot weather kept us indoors. My friend and I shared the Mushroom Broccoli Benedict with a side of Hash Brown Chips and the Maple Bacon Pancake. The Benedict was tasty with perfectly poached eggs although there could've been more mushrooms in the dish. However, it was the hash brown chips that were the real star of the show. Thank goodness it came with a generous portion because I found myself shoveling them into my mouth without much thought throughout our meal. Unfortunately, the Maple Bacon Pancake was overly doughy towards the center with a gummy texture in the middle which I suspect was a result of its gargantuan size. I would skip this for a different pancake/waffle if you're craving something sweet. The Lavender Latte was my favorite part of the dining experience. Although it was 100 degrees that day, it didn't stop me from enjoying a freshly made hot latte with its nicely balanced floral flavor from the lavender. ”

“ Eggcellent place to go if you want American-style brunch in an Asian dominated area. I enjoyed their Santa Barbara eggs benedict, which includes perfectly smoked salmon, zesty capers and a touch of red onion, all drizzled with their house-made hollandaise sauce. Love their hash brown chips! Our server was attentive and refilled our water and drinks right away. He even gave us a side of capers to go with our leftovers. ”
