Best Bites: Toast's Chai Tea-Infused French Toast
Toast, a Littleton breakfast joint, is a paradise for french toast- and pancake-lovers like me. The restaurant (which also serves lunch) rotates its menu seasonally, and every fall I’m enticed by the signature chai tea-infused french toast.
A single order of the dish yields two colossal slices of thick, Udi’s rustico bread, slathered in a secret custard recipe (this is where chai’s warming spices come in), and topped with sautéed Granny Smith apples, along with whipped cream and powdered sugar. Doused in a buttery brown-sugar-and-honey sauce, the treat tastes subtly like a spiced apple pie. It’s so decadent I can eat only one slice of the dessert-for-breakfast creation, but even that single piece puts me in the mood for fall.
Tip: The chai custard can make the french toast slightly soggy, so it’s best to finish it in one sitting. Bring a date and share, or take your sticky, saturated leftovers home and bake until slightly toasted.

Sounds interesting
Will have to give this a try and might even try to make it at home, could be a winner.
What a dream!
Apples!
This sounds so good, especially with the apples on top.

Toast
Interesting offerings.
Worth a trip to Littleton
Just to try this new take on my all-time favorite breakfast dish!
Toast
Ok, I confess! I've been to Toast many times and have never ordered the french toast. In this day of low-fat breakfasts, I go there and just get the standard bacon, egg, hash browns and of course, toast for my salt and fat fix. Is that so bad?
Oh yum
OMG...
... needs PB and Chocolate. Yum.
French Toast
Sounds yummy!
Love Littleton
Downtown Littleton has great places to explore!
Ok. Now I'm hungry
Yum!

Downtown Littleton
Will have to try TOAST sometime soon. Can't go wrong with Udi's bread, and downtown Littleton's Main Street (not far from TOAST) is adorable. Great place to enjoy a fall afternoon (and digest Chai-Tea Infused French Toast)
Sounds great
Too bad Littleton is a bit of a drive, but Toast sounds like a nice place to go.
French Toast
I'm not a big fan of french toast but that sounds like a fun place to try.

Toast . . . our favorite!
My husband and I have been going to Toast on and off (we've left CO and have returned a few times) since their inception and love it! We've introduced many family members to it, as well. I've never tried their chai-infused french toast . . . it sounds devine! Thanks for the tip!
What? Awesome.
I love Chai-flavored-things and I am excited to try it!
This sounds delicious
I'll have no problems finishing it in one sitting!
