\u201cCoffee, toast, whiskey, beer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Such combinations are what read the Instagram bio of Little Toasted<\/a>, the younger sibling of its predecessor, Slightly Toasted<\/a>. Located at 300 South Riverside Plaza, Little Toasted features a 250-seat patio on the river, and over 100 whiskeys to choose from.<\/p>\n

This is the second restaurant by Chef Omar Garcia and sister, pastry chef Brenda Garcia. At Little Toasted, guests are treated to toasts both sweet and savory, including a Steak and Egg with Roasted Garlic Aioli, to a delectable Butterscotch and Nutella on Brioche, sprinkled with sea salt.<\/p>\n

Pair a toast with Little Toasted\u2019s variety of coffee drinks, including selections from Groundswell Roasters<\/a>. Guests can also subscribe to a coffee membership where they can receive unlimited coffee at both Slightly Toasted and Little Toasted locations.<\/p>\n

And when coffee isn\u2019t enough, a cocktail will do. For whiskey lovers, there\u2019s \u2018Drake Is My Homeboy,\u2019 a classic cocktail with Knob Rye and bitters. Feeling something sweet? \u2018Becky with the Good Berries\u2019 is a fizzy vodka cocktail, complete with a honey-blueberry simple syrup.<\/p>\n

Even kids can join the party with a mocktail named \u2018Hannah Montana’ \u2013 a symphony of blueberry, strawberry, lemon and ginger flavors come together for this non-alcoholic beverage. Of course, of-age guests are able to add alcohol \u2014 AKA, a \u2018Miley Cyrus’ \u2013 for an additional charge.<\/p>\n

Little Toasted\u2019s menu offers bites from Potato-and-Cheese Wontons to Hot-Fried Chicken. For those last days of summer, the Peach and Prosciutto salad is a must. Vegetarians can treat themselves to the Mushroom and Quinoa Burger, topped with white cheddar. Although the menu may be small for Little Toasted, there\u2019s a flavor for every palate. And don\u2019t forget about the freshly-baked pastries!<\/p>\n

Little Toasted<\/a> is open Monday-Friday, from 7am to 9pm.<\/p>\n
