Toast Box

Thank you Toastbox for feeding me! I have enjoyed your toast set #2 (traditional kaya toast set) & #3 (dried shredded pork + condensed milk toast set). Each set comes with 2 soft boiled eggs & a beverage (you can ask for coffee or milk tea, etc.) Excellent & prompt service. Great location — just about less than 5 min walking distance from Village Hotel Katong and Roxy Square. And it is next to Bread Talk — great place to browse freshly baked items for your 2^nd breakfast! I highly recommend!

This Toast Box café have a good location — corner glass window to show off their hip, clean and well lit place with lots of people buzzing about. It also shares space with Break Talk, baked asian buns, which is an excellent compliment. Our Village Hotel Katong is on this same street, East Coast Road. We strolled down 2 blocks 3 mornings straight for Singapore breakfasts. Each day, we tried different items on the menu. We learned that kopi-​o = black coffee while kopi-​c = coffee+milk.
Milktea was darn good also.
Kaya toast — thick and crusty bread but soft inside with green coconut jam spread.
Eggs 2 — half boiled runny, crack into dish, mix with dark soy sauce and white pepper, scoop to eat. This is not my kind of eggs but hey, we are trying new things.
Laska with short rice noodles. It is average in taste.
I would definitely go back to eat at Toast Box.

The breakfast menu is mind blowing… Relatively cheap and delicious toasts in the morning. Great way to start your day

I wish I have an audio-​review here so I can say «I love their peanut butter toast» in Singlish accent.
A good place to meet up with friends since it’s right inside the mall and if you ever get bored, this is THE place to people watch: D Or look at cute girls in Starbucks that’s right next to it. Just kidding!!!

No surprises. Toast Box is Toast Box. It has outdoor seating, if you prefer your coffee hot.

My, how Toast Box has grown. It really only used to be just kaya toast, eggs and a kopi or teh… but now they have a gamut of snacks including toast with peanut butter, and meat floss, no doubt since sister (and I mean BIG sister) company Bread Talk is next door, so you know where the floss idea came from.
Like the other reviews talk about, there’s loads more food now — think mee siam, and nasi lemak — and I’ve never really had the urge to try it. But don’t rule it out: a hungry me will get there eventually; I’m just trying to hold out, seeing as there are plenty of other food options in the building.
They still do the tehs (hot or iced) okay, just at different prices — I got a iced teh at $ 2 today, when I could have gone across the road and spent $ 1.20? Guess I’m helping to pay for street-​front rent and the super cold air-​con in my own little way. Just don’t complain as you look over at the people sweating it out in the kopitiam, while you slurp up your posh soft-​boiled eggs.

Beggars can’t be choosers. Especially when it’s past 12am and there’s a midnight movie and you haven’t had dinner but haven’t brought much money out. Sure, the façade is pretty, with glass apothecary jars adorning the main road-​facing storefront. But the façade can’t exactly be eaten, if you get my drift. I went ahead with the mee siam and to be honest, the food was all very ho hum. Nothing very spectacular about it — not too spicy, not too sour, not too delicious, not too special. Maybe it was a bad choice on my part, seeing that the name of the establishment is… well… toast.

With all-​day breakfast restaurants sprouting all across Singapore, it is comforting to find a trusty Toast Box café at Katong where I can cozy up with a local breakfast set of kaya toast, soft-​boiled eggs and tea. They also serve a whole variety of other local delights like toasts, curry chicken, laksa, mee siam, cakes and pastries.
Most of their local delicacies like the Curry Chicken, Laksa and Mee Siam are popular among the locals, as the dishes carry an authentic flavor. For the younger crowd, Toast Box also offers drinks like bubble teas with pearl. For those who are keen on taking away freshly toasted buns and pastries, BreadTalk is conveniently located beside Toast Box.
The ambience of the Toast Box at i12 Katong is slightly more contemporary than the regular coffee shop setting, yet bright and welcoming at the same time. Although this outlet can remain crowded all day through, it is still easy to lose yourself in a book in the corner of the shop, if you wish to have some time to yourself.

Toast Box, part of Bread Talk and right next to it in i12 Katong Mall, finds her best feature in her location. Right at the corner, patrons of Toast Box can sit by the window and watch the busy stretch of East Coast Road and Joo Chiat, people walking by, cars driving past and all that.
Besides that, however, I’m confused as to why people go there. There have stuff like mee siam and laksa. And we all know of the Katong Laksa wars — why they even try is beyond me, because you can get the real (Well, ALMOST real) laksa right across the road in a far more genuine setting.
That being said, their coffee is decent and their prices reasonable considering you’re getting a nice view and air conditioning, so if you’re up for a pseudo-​Katong experience with higher cost and less authenticity, sure go ahead. Toast Box awaits.
