Toast Rack in Wandsworth

Love this little gem in the style of an American Diner, always friendly staff and very smart surroundings. And you can get a delicious pastry or bread to go!

Best place in the City for Brunch & Deli ! Sourdough 10/10 - Unreal

True hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious with a variety of options! The pastries are truly incredible too. The service is fabulous and I am so glad to have found this brilliant place!

Unassuming from the outside so cute and yummy on the inside

I ate here today with my friends - food was amazing and Jairo was really friendly. I'll definitely go back!

Food was incredible and arrived quickly - reasonably priced ☺️

Coffee was delicious i love sourdough bread they bake everyday

Ordering a black coffee ends up with what looks like brown dirty hot water and taste like nothing. Then asking the barrista if it could be replaced with a similar coffee, but less water was as if I had asked him to give me his life. I was made to feel like I was committing a cardinal sin. How dare I! First and last time I buy a coffee from this place.

Poped in for a quick coffee.very nice baked goods and the coffe was lovely

We're not happy to be writing this review; unfortunately, we've had a bad experience and feel that the response to a serious health and safety breach fell very below basic professional standards. We were also then billed for the wrong customer's food. We went to the Toast Rack on Sunday 1 September 2024. We ordered one latte, one cappucino and two English breakfasts. We discovered a large ceramic chip inside the cappucino that we ordered, originating from the cup itself which was broken. The chip was large enough to present a serious choking hazard, and easily could have been swallowed. They then offered a fresh cup to compensate, which we didn't consume as we felt concerned after discovering the first one. While issues are unavoidable in any restaurant, what made things worse was that the manager was (1) 'too busy' to come and give a formal apology or offer to report the incident. (2) The waiting staff then quickly hoovered up the cup and we ended up having to request it back to take our own record, the staff losing the chip in the process. The restaurant did offer to email us a record of the incident, and we'll update the review to say when we've received it. To add insult to injury, (3) we were billed for the wrong customer's food (under invoice number 47023), which we only discovered when getting home. This leaves us without any formal receipt of what we paid for in this case. We weren't expecting compensation for what we found; instead, simply a professional response to a health and safety incident, and confidence that this would be dealt with properly. We didn't receive that. We're not sure if this is something we should report to the FSA as this is something that could have killed a customer under the wrong circumstances. For now, I am leaving this review and hope that the restaurant can act on it in a way it should have done in the first place.

Their BLT is a thing of beauty and is possibly the best I've ever been served

Toastrack Earlsfield is a lovely cafe, great staff and delicious food! I love their Spring bowl, vegan burger and banana bread especially. They also are a cafe that supports the local community and charity- they donated a prize to a tennis charity event we were running. Thank you so much and can’t wait for the many more meals I will have with you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Top spot for a breakfast or brunch!

Wonderful cafe with amazing staff. Highly recommend

Wonderful cafe with amazing staff. Highly recommend

It seems to be run by a Catalan boy because there are many products from our country, apples from Girona, potatoes, almonds, olives... When we went we didn't find anyone Catalan.

Lovely hidden gem - will be back soon!!

Lovely little local cafe. There is a wide selection of baked goods, fresh sourdough and croissants. We sat and had breakfast which was delicious, sweet potato rosti and eggs paxos. The inside space is very warm and inviting with nice decor. Finally the service is excellent professional and quick. Definitely recommend.

Very expensive for 2 coffees and a pie which was not that great. £16

Friendly and helpful female member of staff. Excellent food

Was surprised!!! Everything was amazing 👏!!! 100 stars for this place!!!!! Well done guys!!!! Breakfast so delicious!!!

Great coffee and pastries. You’ll definitely be seeing me again for more of your great food

I paid 10-12£ for burnt toast, the burnt taste overcame everything they should be cooked at lower temperatures for longer and when I told the manager he didn't even care. But you can try coffee I’d liked latte.

Cutest little coffee shop and bakery! The baked goods looked insane, see pics. We just got coffee but they gave us a free load of sourdough. Staff super friendly and great coffee. Would recommend.

Great brunch menu, served all day! Friendly service!

I'm sorry to be writing this review as I was really excited about this place and the menu. However on the 21/03/24 me and my partner came for a quick sandwich - and I was left feeling angry and frustrated. Firstly, we were left waiting for around 25 mins for a simple sandwich to go, there were not many other customers, and to top it off, when I finally got my sandwich, it was missing half of the ingredients. It was meant to be tuna, cheese, capers and onions - but it had no capers nor onions (see picture). I paid £9 for tuna sandwich I could have made at home for £1... And my partner's kimchi beef sandwich was a disappointment to say the least.

Great food and location. The staff where great. Thanks Ellis ⭐️

Best bakery in South west London and amazing family business and costumer service.

Had a blt sandwich and cappuccino. Was very large portion and fresh and good price. Coffee was very nice. Fast and professional service. Usually buying their sourdough thats nice too.

Lovely cafe, much more spacious than it appears from outside. Great coffee! Good size tables and kid friendly.

Superb, delicious and filling for a good price.

You must visit this cafe, incredibly fresh & tasteful food, impeccable service, generous servings, very reasonable pricing. A great vibe, we loved our breakfast here, thank you Toast Rack Bakehouse

The best tasting English breakfast I’ve ever had. Sublime!

I used to come to this cafe for their eggs Benedict and great coffee ☕🍳they expanded their menu since so I thought I would try their BLT sandwich 🥪 wow!! It was sooo good - the best juicy thick cut bacon, glorious sourdough bread 🤤 Will be back again soon to try other dishes!

The food & especially the coffee was outstanding! The icing on the cake was the service - the young man who served us was so pleasant & welcoming; made the whole experience that much better!

Lovely staff..always makes u feel welcome,and makes the best Latte.

Best local coffee house close to Wandsworth Common. Laid back atmosphere and good food. The sourdough bread is delicious and the seating is suitable and comfortable. Dogs are welcome!

Lovely little place where you can buy freshly baked sourdough bread, pastries and, if you have time, you can sit down for breakfast or lunch.

Lovely spot for bunch delicious coffee and bread. Very friendly staff and well priced. The mushrooms on sourdough toast was delicious and healthy. Would definitely return.

Considering how ludicrously expensive the food and drink is in this place (even for London) you would expect it to have a nicer atmosphere. But it does not. The decor is a bit old and unkempt and it could be a tad cleaner. There's dust on the jars of preserves they are selling. Some of the floor was sticky. They gave me a dusty coffee lid one time. The toilets need improving big time. The dryer didn't work, the toilet seat was loose and there wasn't even an air freshener in there or at least not that I could smell. There is a second toilet, but it's not labelled up (it's next to staff only so isn't obvious it's there) and the door gets stuck so you have to force it open / closed. Unacceptable really for the class this place is aiming to attract and the prices you would pay. £5 for a sausage roll. It looks nice but never in my life will I pay that for a sausage roll!!

Just returned from a fantastic breakfast/brunch experience! Delicious food, very reasonably priced and generous portions, love the decor and ambiance, the cherry on the cake is the super friendly staff… Will served us and was absolutely lovely, so welcoming and personable. Excited to visit this gem again soon!

Easily the best brunch in south west London. Quality of the food is insane. Every meal has a twist.

Food is good but not standing out, we had Turkish egg, egg Benedict and waffles all were good. Their coffee is good but again not standing out. We bought sourdough to take with us home and it was fine. Staff were super nice and the outside setting area is lovely. Nice to have a lovely local place.

For me, this place is my local gem to occasionally hang out with friends, grab a cappuccino for myself, or get some bakery. And fresh milk refill is a great one too! Apart from the food being so delicious, all the people working there are so friendly and always welcoming with smiles :)

The bread is…..UNBELIEVABLY good

Great food and great service and very dog friendly

The best breakfast in a very long time, my husband had the English and said the bacon (chunky pork belly) was cooked to perfection and delicious. The breakfast full stop was. I had the Turkish, again a perfect dish spices, flavour, just incredible, poached eggs were runny in the middle and firm on the outside just how you want them!! Service second to none, great lads Ellis George and Paddy, and Monika running the show is lovely, took home a sour dough and our son wolfed it down saying the best he’s had!! Thanks to you all just such a treat, we’ll see you again soon !!!

If you're about, it's worth checking out. We had the shawarma which was lovely but the bread generally is oh so good

I got a lovely cheesecake with even better jam. Mouthwatering and delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful. I was about to take. A pic of my cheesecake but I ate it !

Everyone very helpful. Good, fresh bakery and coffee. Love the deco. Summer seat outside is a must. Inside they have those very comfortable old fashion ice-cream shops blue seats, must say really nice. A good old tap on the designers shoulder for it all.

You’d think if you were charging so much for two bits of bacon and some toast you wouldn’t be rude and indifferent about it….staff attitude here is almost comical

Great little cafe and food shop right next to Wandsworth common. Been a few times now and not been disappointed yet.

Tucked away in an unassuming location this eatery was a little gem. We came across it by chance and it was a really good spot! The inside reminded us of an old school american dinner with the booths at the back and a nice coffee shop, sellling upmarket produce such as fruit, cheese, baked goods at the front as you enter. The food was very nice and there are some combinations of flavours in the breakfast menu i haven't seen before and they really work! Definitely worth a try and i would recommend for sure!

The absolute best brunch spot in the area; Monica and her team are the best around! The BLT is the perfect summer sandwich, and with air-con in the cafe, it’s a great spot to get away from the July heat.

The best brunch place south of the river. Food is high-quality. The bacon here is especially good. Love this place. Safe pair of hands.

Great food, service often rather slow first thing. Sometimes shuts unexpectedly early in the afternoon which can be disappointing if you’ve made a special trip to go.

Very popular, local café. Breakfast eggs are especially recommended but also lots of tasty vegan options.

A must stop every time I come to London. Not sure which is the best... the food or the service :)

I often come here for a coffee during my lunch breaks, and I have been coming here regularly for some time now. Great customer service from all staff. Was served by Kadri a couple of times this week, who always serves with a friendly attitude.

I love the food, it s amazing! Good coffee and the best staff .

Great place,lovely coffee and tasty food. Service always fast and frendly! We will be back😊

The Toast Rack does even more fresh produce now with fresh milk and still the same delicious sourdough available to buy daily. The staff are brilliant and really part of our daily lives; some credit needs to go to Madi, Monika and Kadri for my 3yo love of eggs, fresh fruit and veg. Great coffee and excellent seasonal menus with great quality food. 12 months ago: We have been through 2 more lockdowns since my last review when The Toast Rack was not only our daily coffee fix but a supermarket for last minute dinner ingredients. It’s been revamped with a delicious new menu (recommend the home made granola), new interior and has even more super cool grocery options. A special thanks to Madi for making our visits to The Toast Rack so special. 22 months ago: Great coffee which is very quickly becoming my favourite, really good bakes (I recommend the crodoughs and peanut/chocolate blondie). I’ve not eaten in but if the fresh produce, which they have been selling, is anything to go by then I’m sure it’s great.

I come here all the time with my work colleagues - we love it. The staff are super friendly and the food is great. Definitely recommend :)

Delicious Food and lovely service. We had a really sweet server Grace. Will definitely come back some time soon!

Me and my colleagues always come here for our lunch, coffees etc. We love it here, always friendly staff and clean spaces. The coffee is lovely, they have a range of choices and dietary supplements. Me and my colleague always have a laugh here with the staff. And service is efficient and fast. Madi is lovely and always smiling

What can I say, The Toast Rack is SW London's best kept secret. From delicious dishes, great coffee & the most friendly staff ever! I've been going to the Toast Rack from months now and it's never let me down, particularly when I bring friends I here I know they will be impressed. Major shout out to Madi & Monika who look after my friends & me so well. They are both so hardworking, friendly and determined to make sure everyone who passes through the Toast Rack's doors has a really pleasant experience. It's people like Madi & Monika that just make you want to come back again & again. Thank you both! Make sure to try the freshly made bread & treats as you walk in- You won't be disappointed!

A top spot in a priviliged 'hood! Beautiful people doing hospitality as it should be done - professional with neighbourhood feel. Gordon and Tanna Ramsey are regulars! Wholesome, community, family and top breakfast great coffee and the team set the friendly vibe. Ppl at their best here because they know! Leave any negativity outside and come into the glow!

This place is a gem. If you are into your coffee, its the best cup you'll have around the area! Me and my friend frequent this place when we are working from home, and it never disappoints. Madi & Monika do a great job of greeting us with a smile every morning and sending us on our merry way. Also - the breakfast is top! The shakshuka is not to be missed...

Lovely lunch spot with a great atmosphere and fantastic food. Hands down the best egg's in south London. Both of the managers, Madi in particular, add to the welcoming and warm environment with their friendly manner, We are also looking forward to trying their afternoon/evening menu soon!

Brilliant bread & brunch food but let down consistently by slow service & sticky tables. Also, not the cheapest place which is fine if the service is great but unfortunately it’s patchy at best.

High quality home made pastries and delicious coffee, and the sight of bakers making beautiful looking artisan breads. High price level but worth it! Friendly staff, nice seating inside and outside.

Love everything about this wonderful local restaurant. The staff are friendly, the music ensures a great atmosphere and the food is fabulous.

Great place for evening meals too! Thanks to Madi for a great service.

Favourite cafe in Wandsworth! My wife and I go here all the time whether it's for a quick cup of coffee, a takeaway bite to eat or to sit in for breakfast or lunch. Our go to snacks are the GF orange and chocolate cake or the banana bread, or when we're sitting in the Turkish eggs or Salmon and eggs are ace. You've got to try toast rack :)

Delicious food, good service, not overly busy so it’s easy to get a table. Excellent all day brunch options and a lovely lunch menu as well. Great for kids. Coffee is also superb!

Great cafe near Wandsworth Common. The best bacon sandwich I've had in ages!

Cosy venue with friendly staff. Quite expensive. Hot chocolate tasted like warmed milk - not much chocolate. Coffee was good.

Update: I just visited four months after leaving the area and nothing's changed - Monica and Maddie were delighted to see me, remembered my favourite orders, and the food was just as fantastic as before. Thank you for being such delightful human beings. What a wonderful place to go! I've lived in the area for almost a year and there's no better place to grab and coffee and be treated like a welcome local. The front of house is a deli-café, with the deli offering freshly-baked bread, a wide variety of fruit, veg and meat, premium cooking sauces, beers and wines and plenty more. The café has coffee (obviously), teas and a fantastic selection of baked goods, a lot of which are vegetarian/vegan and/or gluten-free. There's a cutesy decking out front with chairs and tables (which TFL are trying, unjustly, to get removed!), which is perfect to cotch at all year round. At the back of house is a restaurant which I haven't sampled much but what I have ordered has been delivered promptly and tasted pretty damn good. But the real reason Toast Rack is so close to my heart: the staff aren't robotic, "I want to get out of here" servers, they're passionate, wonderful human beings who deserve recognition for making the place run smoothly and putting smiles on countless faces. I'm still learning everyone's names, but Monica, Maddie and Natasha have all stood out to me as some of the kindest, honest, hardworking people - not just in retail/coffee shops, but in general - I've had the pleasure of meeting.

The Toast Rack is local to me so I come here quite a lot. The food is excellent and I love their homemade bread, but the service lets them down - consistently bad, even when they're quiet. Usually waiting about 20-25 minutes to order if eating in, orders often muddled up or not quite right, usually have to go up to the counter to make them aware you're there. The business seems to rely on being the only coffeeshop in the immediate area and the staff are not too bothered about retaining repeat custom. Most are pleasant but I have seen instances of real rudeness more than once. Last time I went I was moved tables twice 'in case a bigger group comes in', to the point I felt uncomfortable staying and ordering another drink. The place was almost empty. I will go back (it's handy, and the coffee is good!) but not if I have another option.

Fantastic cafe /restaurant with amazing bakery. Visited with work colleagues after work and was really charmed by the discreet private booths as well as the comfy chill out space. Had some sharing small plates and coffee and took a bakery loaf home. Will definitely be back. Just lovely!

Came here for my birthday and had a fabulous time! A real hidden treasure with great food and great service. Madi in particular was so lovely. We will definitely be back again!

I love coming here. The staff are really nice. The food is really good! And you get to play a game board while waiting for your order. I highly recommend it.

It was the best eggs Benedict I've ever had. Eggs with perfectly golden yolk Thick bacon perfectly cooked Sour dough bread perfect thickness Very extremely friendly staff Would definitely come back Amazing

The freshest, best presentation and nicest food, it’s a 10/10 from me. Services was also among the pros, will be coming back✅

Best breakfast in south london!

Fantastic service, great people and amazing coffee and food!

A bit of a mixed experience here! After a slightly chaotic start (we asked for a table outside, said we were happy to wait, then had to explain the situation again twice to two different employees while we saw lots of people being seated outside). Tip: If you are waiting for a table, try and stay in their eyeline or they will forget about you. The blonde lady (I think the manager?) was incredibly unhelpful and dismissive but the two young boys working there were beyond brilliant and deserve a big shout out! The food itself was tasty and once we were settled in our seats, overall the place had a nice vibe. The bacon was especially good; thick cuts and cooked to be nice and crispy. However the cost of two meals/coffees came in at over £40 which is an astonishing amount for Brunch (even in Wandsworth!). My suggestion would be stop by and grab a coffee/baked good before a wander in the park.

Arrived in the shop parched and hungry on 4/9/2022 . We said hello but was totally ignored. The male serving turned his back on us while the female rolled her eyes. The service towards us was non existent. Staff proceeded to serve other customers who had entered the shop after us. Blatant rude and I felt that they were very racist !

Great food and friendly faces every single time we visit.

Good food, coffee and very comfortable sitting.

Much better than a few years back

We used to come here almost every weekend before Covid, and we still visit occasionally.. life has just moved on, The Toast Rack is still awesome.. I highly recommend the BLT (wish I had taken a photo).. it was amazing, its not just a strip or two of bacon, but full on ham slices.. I cannot wait for the next time I am there (photo will be attached). Update.. Been again.. If I could have taken a photo of the noises of pleasure as I ate my BLT I would have.. It was AMAZING.

Quite a disappointing trip. Stopped in for lunch whilst working nearby, for a ‘quick bite’. The server ensured he would come to take my order in a couple of minutes, waited at least 15 minutes (the place wasn’t that busy) and had to walk inside to remind them. When it came to ordering, the brunch selection was fairly limited - the server seemed fairly confused about me wanting to add avocado and an additional egg to eggs on toast (a staple gen Z diet?! No?) - weirdly insisting they ‘were extras’ and when the food came out, they were just quite unnecessarily in separate dishes. The meal I ordered came in a decent time and was tasty (and is the only reason for the 2 stars) however I had finished that and the coffee and cake I had ordered at the same time, still hadn’t arrived. Had to go inside and remind them, got asked ‘what coffee did I order’ again. When the coffee came out it was 3.70 + service charge for a very small oat latte and the banana bread was very stale. Waited a while after as I was told I would order and pay at table, no one came out so went up to pay for what was a very overpriced unpleasant eat-in and service. Don’t normally write reviews… but all in alla bad spot for lunch and won’t be going again! The servers themselves at first seemed lovely, but they were managing the operations very poorly.

The best sourdough bread in town! We had brunch/lunch there, food was good, but what stood out was the bread. I went back few times just to get the bread.

The most delicious sweet potato & quinoa fritters. Great spot for brunch.

We are incredibly grateful that this is our local café! My partner and I come here every day after walking our dog (they’re dog friendly), and staff are always pretty quick despite how busy they usually are. There’s plenty of excellent pantry staples and fresh fruit & veg, but the standout is the white sourdough loaf which I think is baked on-site and might be a contender for the best in London!

Best bread in Wandsworth hands down!

Hot food, savoury baked goods & bread are fantastic. Service is the restaurant is patchy at best, polite but very very slow!

Absolutely delicious food, with really friendly and attentive staff. Totally blew our expectations out of the water.
