Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors is pleased to welcome Toastique: Our newest Sponsor that brings healthy food options for breakfast, lunch and in-between. If you haven’t tried Toastique yet, make it a point to check out this fresh and healthy gourmet toast, juice and coffee bar, which recently celebrated its grand opening in the Ellis Preserve.
Toastique offers a fresh and healthy menu to our community, with artisanal gourmet toast, protein waffles, bowls, overnight oats, smoothies, freshly made cold-pressed juices, iced collagen lattes, wellness shots, craft coffee, espresso and tea. All of their menu options are made with clean, high-quality ingredients that are locally sourced and rich in flavor.
Toastique Newtown Square is the franchise’s only stand-alone location, the first in southeastern PA and is owned and operated by local residents, Andrea and David Rea. Andrea said that she and David first experienced Toastique while on vacation in Stone Harbor, NJ. “I fell in love with the concept, the welcoming vibe and of course the food,” Andrea said. “I always dreamed of owning a business that I would be passionate about, and Toastique was the perfect fit.”
Andrea explained that everything is made in-house, from hummus to peanut butter. They have smoothies, acai bowls, protein treats and a whole grab-and-go section featuring healthy options. “We have options that will fit any diet, from keto to vegan to gluten-free,” Andrea said. “It’s a gourmet toast and juice bar, but we do a lot more. “When people think of toast, they largely think of avocado toast, but we have a whole menu of gourmet toast…everything from spicy crab to vegetarian options, vegan options and protein-forward options.”
The Toastique gourmet cafe was founded in 2017 by Brianna Keefe, who opened the original location in the Wharf District along the Potomac River in Washington, DC. As an athlete, Brianna was serious about fueling her body with high-quality, whole foods. She describes Toastique as the casual, modern dining your inner health nut has been waiting for. But not only are the items on the menu healthy and crafted down to the micronutrient, the presentation on your plate will look like a work of art.
Bowls, made fresh to order, are very popular menu items at Toastique. A few of the many featured bowls are the Mango Tango Bowl, with mango, pineapple, lime, agave and coconut water, topped with fresh fruit; and the Matcha Bowl, a blend of spinach, kale, banana, mango, matcha, hemp seeds, flax seeds, coconut water and lime, topped with strawberry, pineapple, dates, cacao nibs, mint, granola and honey.
Among the wide assortment of freshly pressed juice options are the Recharge Juice, a blend of beet, carrot, apple, orange and ginger; Radiance, a blend of grapefruit, orange, blood orange, pineapple and basil; and the Metabolize, a blend of cucumber, jalapeno, pineapple, apple and mint.
Let’s talk toast! Among the many delicious gour-met selections is the PB Crunch, featuring honey-roasted peanut butter, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, berry jam, granola, peanuts, a honey drizzle and mint, served on walnut raisin toast. The Smoked Salmon Gourmet Toast is smoked pastrami salmon, herbed cream cheese spread, arugula, cucumber, pickled onion, capers, toasty seasoning, microgreens and a lemon twist on sourdough toast.
The Tuscan Tuna, made with tuna dressed with sundried tomatoes, capers, scallions, herb aioli, balsamic glace, kalamata olives, tomatoes, bibb lettuce and a lemon twist on rustic toast.
Toastique’s Housemade Waffle, which contains 45g of protein, is topped with bananas, strawberries, coconut flakes, cacao nibs and a choice of drizzle. Toastique offers an exclusive blend of coffee and espresso in partnership with Lineage Coffee Roasting. Business thus far has been booming! Andrea and her team held a grand opening celebration in July where the first 100 guests received extra rewards and giveaways. “We had a huge turnout and very positive feedback,” Andrea said. “Honestly, the past few weeks have been a whirlwind because we have been incredibly
busy since we opened the doors.”
