Eatery will offer gourmet toasts and juices.
Updated April 9, 2010
Toastique, a boutique gourmet toast and juice bar, has opened on King Street in Old Town Alexandria. The eatery also has a location at The Wharf in Washington, D.C.
The new restaurant is located at 1605 King St., offering seating for 21 inside and 10 outside. Hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
The menu includes a variety of toppings on toast (Avocado Smash, Smoked Salmon, PB Crunch, Tomato Buratta and more), smoothies and juices, and bowls -- including one with activated charcoal. See the menu from The Wharf location here. The restaurant offers catering.
The space in Alexandria was formerly occupied by Chelsea Printing and Copying.
The concept is the brainchild of Brianna Keefe. The Toastique website describes her: "From a young age, Brianna has been passionate about food, nutrition and fitness in all its forms, which over time transitioned into a passion and love for clean living. In high school she made smoothies & juice everyday, this sparking the dream of owning her own health cafe. In college, being a D1 athlete, she quickly learned how important it was to have wholesome meals throughout the day to keep her energy up while on the go. Day in day out, Brianna expanded her original avocado toast, to various toast creations to accommodate her busy schedule anytime of the day."
