Toastique Expands to Georgia with First Atlanta Location Opening in September
Toastique, the vibrant, gourmet toast and juice café that originated in Washington D.C., announces its expansion into Georgia with the first location in Midtown set to open in early fall. Located at 1230 West Peachtree St. NW in the Hanover Midtown luxury apartment complex, Toastique will offer gourmet toast creations, smoothie bowls, nutrient-rich cold-pressed juices, espresso, coffee and grab-and-go options. Franchisee Nicole Wiley, an Atlanta native, is helming the new Atlanta restaurant.
Ms. Wiley, a retired officer from the U.S. Air Force after 25 years of service and an aircraft engineer program assistant for the Federal Aviation Administration, was hungry both for healthy dining alternatives on her daily commute and for a new challenge that would help her connect with her community. She was immediately drawn to Toastique’s menu and the company’s staff: “I fell in love with an açaí bowl on vacation and wondered why I couldn’t find a good bowl like it closer closer to home. After a lot of thought I started searching for franchises that offered what I was looking for. Once I was introduced to Toastique I knew I’d found the right fit. When I saw the Hanover Midtown building, I felt it was the perfect place for a healthy dining destination.”
Toastique takes pride in making healthy dining accessible and exciting. Highlights of the menu include the Smoked Salmon Toast (smoked pastrami salmon, herbed cream cheese spread, arugula, cucumber, capers, toasty seasoning, micro greens and lemon twist on sourdough toast), PB Crunch Toast (honey-roasted peanut butter, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, berry jam, granola, peanuts, honey drizzle and mint on walnut raisin toast) and Tomato Burrata Toast (herbed ricotta, pesto, tomatoes, burrata, basil, olive oil and balsamic glaze on rustico toast).
Guests also can enjoy cold-pressed juices like the Radiance (grapefruit, orange, blood orange, pineapple and basil), freshly blended smoothies such as the SuperFruit (açaí, strawberry, banana, blueberry and apple juice) and iced collagen lattes including the Beet Latte (Vital Proteins collagen, cold-pressed recharge juice and almond milk). Additionally, the Atlanta restaurant will offer a curated selection of juice-based cocktails.
“I’m most looking forward to seeing the smiles on guests’ faces when they take that first sip of juice or bite of toast,” says Ms. Wiley. “All of our ingredients are fresh, natural, and responsibly sourced—even down to the straws, which are made from agave.”
The 1,790-square-foot restaurant offers counter service and seats 40 guests with a mixture of high-top and regular tables plus banquette seating. High ceilings, glass tile and a green and blue color scheme create a calming, upscale atmosphere while millwork, gold accents and live greenery bring warmth to the space. Ms. Wiley has partnered with local artists Taylor B. Douglass and G.W. Harper to adorn the restaurant’s walls.
“Although Toastique will be a healthy, convenient option for people who work and live in Midtown, the restaurant will have a wider reach and appeal to those visiting the High Museum or relaxing in Piedmont Park,” says Ms. Wiley. “Being a part of the Midtown community and giving back to this neighborhood is very important to me.”
Originating in 2018 in Washington, D.C., Toastique has garnered national acclaim for its fresh and artistic approach to crafting exquisite food grounded in paying homage to the natural beauty and simplicity of responsibly sourced ingredients. Employing fresh produce and curating unique, thoughtful flavor combinations, Toastique has cultivated a rich menu of enticing and health-conscious toasts, smoothies, cold-pressed juices, and more.
The Atlanta location will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. To stay up to date with Toastique news and announcements, visit the website or follow the brand on Instagram and Facebook.
