For Creators
Make a Toast Tower with us
We work with LA food, lifestyle, and travel creators on simple, no-strings UGC partnerships. If you cover the LA / foothills food scene and want to feature one of our Toast Towers, we'd love to host you.
How It Works
- 1.A free Toast Tower of your choice + a coffee or tea, on us, in exchange for organic content (Reel, TikTok, Story, or carousel post).
- 2.Tag @toastedmontrose and use #toasttower so we can find your post and reshare.
- 3.We'll repost the best content to our Stories (and sometimes the grid) and credit you. No exclusivity, no usage gotchas.
- 4.Returning creators with strong engagement get invited to flavor previews and seasonal launches.

Shooting Tips
- ★Best photo light is 9–11 AM at the front window seats and on the patio.
- ★Toast Towers are dine-in only and arrive frozen — we plate them at your table for the "wow" reveal shot.
- ★The Saffron & Rose, Tiramisu, and Chocoholic shoot the best on camera.
- ★Latte art shots: ask for a cortado or a flat white — denser foam, cleaner pour.
- ★Tuesday–Thursday mornings are the calmest; weekends get busy after 10 AM.
