I asked a friend what would be the “San Francisco breakfast” in her opinion. She said that it seems that a city got crazy about a cinnamon toasts lately. I was a bit surprised. When someone says a word “toast” I can see a dry piece of bread. I could not believe that people find it so good. Fortunately I did not say it out loud. She gave me a tip to visit Trouble Caffee. So I went there and I ordered a cinnamon toast and OMG it was the best toast I had in my life. It was so good, that I cut it in small pieces to enjoy it longer. I came back home and could not stop thinking about the toast, so I googled “how to make a cinnamon toast like in Trouble Cafe” and somehow I discovered that they buy their bread in Just for You on Dogpatch. I went there the next morning to buy it (I also had a delicious breakfast there and I promise to post recommendation of this place on Saturday). Today I made the cinnamon toasts for breakfast. I ate it while sitting on stairs and looking on San Francisco. It was a great breakfast.
The bread from “Just for you” coffee reminds me of brioche (and French know how to bake a bread as well). I strongly recommend it and a cinnamon toasts. Especially with a big cup of a strong coffee.
You will need:
- slice of a good white bread or brioche
- cinnamon sugar
- butter
Toast the slice until crispy and golden, spread it well with butter and sprinkle with a cinnamon sugar. You can make your own cinnamon sugar by mixing ½ cup of sugar with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
Enjoy, Marta.

I’ve never had cinnamon toast before–well, other than a cereal called Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which is definitely not the same thing! 🙂

Haha. Great post! 🙂 I love that you discovered cinnamon toast, or at least cinnamon toast on special bread. I love that picture of someone holding the loaf. So pretty!

I used to eat cinnamon toast all the time! Never on a bread so lovely as brioche – that just makes it extra special!

LOL! I made a piece of cinnamon toast every day when I got home from
school. Of course my mother said I burned more pieces that I ate, but
… O.k. so I would leave them under the broiler too long, but there was
always more bread in the house. Thanks for the memories!

In a past life, I loved cinnamon toast. That sentence about you sitting on the stairs looking at San Francisco was especially evocative.

Looks sooo delicious! I make Cinnamon toast for my kids but have never used brioche bread. I bet it takes the flavor way over the top. I’m going to have to try that. Your photos are fabulous! xo

I used to eat cinnamon-sugar toast almost every day as a kid! Your pictures have captured it perfectly – the burnt bits, the butter-soaked top, the sweet topping. I love it!

simply perfect Marta 🙂

Hmm. I thought I lived close enough to SF to have some idea what was going in in its food trends, but evidently not! Cinnamon toast seems like a bedtime snack to me, but it definitely makes a great breakfast too. 🙂

Simple and delicious.

I haven’t had cinnamon toast in so long. On good bread like that who wouldn’t want it. I offered my husband french toast the other mother and he moaned and complained, “you only have wheat bread”. Lol. I wish I could get to the city more. Hope you are having a great week.

I loved cinnamon toast when I was a kid! Lots and lots of butter is the key. And a nice bread like this must make it incredible. Good stuff – thanks.
