"There are some bagel places in Astoria, but Toast Roast was my way when I lived there. The Bagels are as good as any in the neighborhood, and although not as wide as other places, even more than enough choice and still fresh. Toast Roast also has a better coffee than the other bagel places in Astoria, and my children love their hot chocolate and apple wine (in summer, warm in winter). Breakfast plates (eggs, domestic frits, pancakes, bacon, sausage, etc. was exactly what you would expect. Not gourmet, but that's not what you're going to T R. Sandwiches were also exactly what you would expect. A few times I got her prefabricated salads later the day and was never disappointed. Like the Bagels they were delicious and a good size for the price. And the last reason for my 5-star rating: the service. Competent and friendly. Really everything you need when you get a bagel, sandwich or salad."
