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.

Chai tea fanatic.
Chai is my go to drink at Starbucks, and this confection looks like my next go to for a great brunch!
droooooooool
I think I need to change clothes as my drool has been slathered all over them- this is the most delicious looking french toast-EVER!
Guiry's to the rescue!!!
Ugh! If you saw the state of my loft, you'd hand-deliver this gift certificate. Oh, and hopefully they might have a step ladder as well because the last time I tried to paint my place I ended up standing on 6 hardcover books delicately place on my step ladder...I still couldn't reach!
Perfect French Toast?
I have yet to find or tasted the perfect French Toast. Mostly what I get from diners are over-soaked breads that taste heavily on baking soda. Hopefully this Chai-Tea infused one will be my winner?!
Toast
TG this place is in my 'hood! I haven't tried this french toastyet but everything else that I've had here is delish!

We've been going to Toast for years - it's one of few great breakfast places down south. Haven't tried the chai french toast but it sounds decadent. on my way!

Littleton is a little for for me to go for breakfast, but I'll make sure to add it to my "must try" list when I'm down that way!
A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
Toast is one of my our favorite go-to brunch stops on the weekend. I highly recommend their pancake 'flights' and think they should serve them to the after theatre crowd for dessert since they're so wickedly sweet and delicious. I haven't yet tried their chai french toast but I'm totally sold.
Chai spices + french toast
Chai spices + french toast sound amazing!
Yum-o!
