UPDATE: Silicon Valley’s first **Toastique** is set to open its doors this weekend in **downtown San Jose** at **San Pedro Square**! The gourmet toast and juice bar will launch on **Saturday, January 31, 2024**, with an enticing all-day menu and exciting grand-opening specials designed to attract toast lovers from across the region.
Founded in **2018** by **Brianna Keefe**, Toastique quickly gained popularity after her flagship store in **Washington, D.C.** generated over **$1 million** in sales during its first year. This success led Keefe to develop a franchising model, resulting in dozens of locations across **18 states and D.C.**, and now, the Bay Area is next on the list.
The first **100 guests** in line at **8 a.m.** on Saturday who make a minimum purchase of **$10** will receive **$50 in Toastique rewards dollars** for future visits. The opening day will also feature a **DJ** and raffle prizes, creating a festive atmosphere for attendees eager to experience the unique offerings of Toastique.
The menu includes a variety of delicious toasts, with the **Avocado Smash** as a standout favorite. This signature dish features **rustic bread** topped with fresh avocado, marinated tomatoes, **watermelon radish**, and microgreens. Other tempting options range from **Smoked Salmon** to **Spicy Crab** and **3-Cheese Italian** toasts.
Rafi Ibrahimi, the franchise owner, emphasized that everything is made in-house, from **hummus** and **guacamole** to **aiolis** and **pesto**. In addition to toast, Toastique specializes in smoothies, superfruit bowls, fresh-pressed juices, and wellness shots, catering to health-conscious patrons. Their coffee is sourced from **Lineage Coffee**, featuring a tri-blend from **Guatemala**, **Brazil**, and **Ethiopia**.
Following the grand opening, Toastique will host four days of giveaways:
– On **Sunday, February 1**, customers can enjoy a **free drip coffee** with any **$10 purchase**.
– On **Monday, February 2**, any purchase allows guests to buy a **12-ounce juice** on tap for just **$5**.
– On **Tuesday, February 3**, a free coffee or espresso drink will be offered with any purchase.
– Finally, on **Wednesday, February 4**, all **16-ounce smoothies** will be available for **$6**.
Toastique will regularly operate from **7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily** at **145 W. Santa Clara St.**, San Jose. With its innovative menu and engaging atmosphere, this new location is set to become a beloved spot for gourmet toast aficionados and health-conscious diners alike.
