Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lindsey who really, really loved food. But not just any food—real food. The kind that grows from the ground, fuels your body, and makes mornings feel like magic. Frustrated by the lack of breakfast spots offering truly wholesome, exciting meals, she decided to create her own. So in 2023, Oat & Toast was born.

Armed with a breakfast cart, a playlist of good tunes, help from her mama, and a whole lot of passion, Lindsey set out to make mornings better. She served up oat bowls and toast with zero added sugar, no seed oils, and absolutely no ingredients you couldn’t pronounce. Just real, beautiful food—packaged with purpose and made with love. Her little cart quickly became a beloved friend to Fargo.

Lindsey passed the torch to Matt and Kate Ekren—a husband-and-wife duo who had fallen head over heels for the Oat & Toast vibe. Longtime fans of the cart and believers in its mission, Matt and Kate bring a deep love for honest food, community connection, and joyful mornings.

Under their stewardship, you'll still find all your favorite nourishing oat bowls, toast combos, drinks, and surprise specials—crafted with clean, Midwest-sourced ingredients and a whole lot of heart.

This isn’t just breakfast. It’s a movement rooted in wellness, transparency, and joy. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, we’re here to make sure your day starts with something real—and something really good.
