TOAST
We are a funky little restaurant with big flavor and food options. We use seasonal, local ingredients paired with locally made artisan bread.
Who we are:
We’re Heather and Roger Horton — two Southeast Kansas kids with a shared passion for artisan bread, fresh ingredients, and meaningful connections.
​
Heather’s specialty is culinary: she develops unique, seasonal fare that showcases locally grown produce and farm-raised meats.
Roger's specialty is artisan bread: He crafts all of the breads, biscuits, and cinnamon rolls on the TOAST menu.
​
Where you'll find us:
We opened in 2019 in a restored historic building in the heart of Downtown Pittsburg, Kansas. We are community-focused and feature local art on our colorful walls. We’re conveniently located just a few blocks from boutiques, thrift shops, bookstores, and Memorial Auditorium & Convention Center.
​
Don't miss:
Just inside our front door you’ll find our TOAST Market featuring Kansas-made products and grab-and-go scratch-made items. On Fridays, you'll find freshly baked loaves of Roger’s artisan breads.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
Elevated comfort food:
Put a smile on your face with mac and cheese (we call it "Cheesy Noods") loaded with toppings like grilled chicken, roasted peppers, and caramelized onions.
Lighter fare:
Try our veggie-packed Crunch-a-Munch salad; sip a cup of scratch-made seasonal soup; or tickle your taste buds with avocado and smoked salmon on toast.
​
Sandwiches:
Roll up your shirt sleeves and hunker over "Just the Dip," our version of the classic French Dip with oven-roasted beef and melty Gouda cheese and a cup of homemade au jus for dunking.
Special treats:
Enjoy our decadent ricotta and olives with toast points — a dish that pairs perfectly with a glass of wine or one of our signature mocktails, or finish off your meal with gelato.
​
Breakfast/brunch:
You haven't lived until you've started your day with one of Roger's oooey gooey cinnamon rolls or a plate of farm fresh eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, and fried taters.
Catering
Whether you're planning a small informal gathering, a morning Chamber of Commerce coffee, or a large formal event, our catering can be customized to fit your taste, your budget, and your needs.
​
We’re known for our artfully arranged charcuterie and small-bites presentation, which are as delicious to look at as they are to eat.
From large pans of our signature Cheesy Noods to fresh, elegant platters of fruit, veggies, meats, cheeses, and scratch-made dips, we will take your event to the next level.
Gatherings and Events
Frequent special events such as Trivia Night, Comedy Night, and Game Nights bring together people of diverse walks of life over food and drinks in a vibrant, welcoming space.

Spice Library
Add a Little Spice to Your Life! We teamed up with the Pittsburg Public Library, located just a block away from our restaurant, to bring a Spice Library to the community.
​
Whether you're a seasoned foodie or a beginner exploring different tastes, the Spice Library is here for you.
​
Each month, we provide a different spice and a recipe to inspire your culinary creativity in your own home kitchens — from a spiced pear galette made with cardamom to potato salad made with dill.
​
Pick up this month's spice and recipe at 308 N. Walnut seven days a week while supplies last.
