The restaurant describes its full bar as serving "funky cocktail creations" like "Dreamsicle,” and “Dirty Blonde.” Its bar offers several flights like mimosas, along with coffee and other beverages.

The Friendly Toast notes that it is a supporter of the Dedham and surrounding communities, participating with local organizations in monthly charity specials, donations, and more. It announced its plans to donate to The Dedham Food Pantry and Sky Philanthropy from its opening weekend.

“The communities in which we serve remain a top priority to us here at The Friendly Toast,” said Scott Pulver, Co-Owner, The Friendly Toast. “We look forward to growing our relationships with the local residents and are eager to partner with local organizations that have an impact in the Dedham area.
