After taking over the iconic Golden Truffle location, Toast Kitchen & Bakery opened its doors in Costa Mesa in 2018. But before then we started as a pie pop up called Five Loaves where 100% of proceeds would go to local non-profits. While we strive for excellence in our food and service, our first commitment has been and will always be to our community. From our hiring practices to our work with local non-profits and churches we always prioritize people over profits.
