Sandwich And Fruit Bowl Shop Toastique To Open Location In Ridgewood. See When And Where

RIDGEWOOD, NJ — Sometimes, a quick and healthy meal with fresh ingredients can be hard to find. But the chain Toastique has a solution — and they're coming to Ridgewood soon.

The growing fast casual restaurant group serves up dishes like avocado toast, tomato burrata toast, and fruit bowls, and offers fresh fruit juice blends.

They'll open in Ridgewood in "late fall," the company said Wednesday. A spokesperson said they hope to open in October or November.

The chain is moving into 2-4 Garber Square. The location will be Toastique's fourth in New Jersey.

They're already in business in Chatham, Morristown, and Hoboken, and plan to open two New York City locations soon.

The company said they're known for their "gourmet toast creations, smoothie bowls, nutrient-rich cold-pressed juices, espresso and coffee, and other convenient grab-and-go options."

The restaurants were founded in 2018 in Washington, D.C. by former Division 1 collegiate cheerleader Brianna Keefe.

Menu Highlights

Menu highlights include Avocado Smash Toast (avocado with watermelon radish, marinated tomatoes, chili oil, and microgreens on multigrain toast) and Tomato Burrata Toast (herbed ricotta, pesto, tomatoes, burrata, basil, olive oil, and balsamic glaze on rustico toast).

The concept offers a variety of bowls, including the popular Acai Bowl (acai, blueberry, banana, strawberry, and apple juice topped with granola, banana, cacao nibs, strawberries, blueberries, and honey drizzle). Guests can also enjoy freshly blended smoothies such as the Blue Mystique Smoothie (blue spirulina, banana, pineapple, mango, and almond milk).

Toastique offers a variety of coffee offerings such as Nitro Cold Brew on tap and Iced Collagen Lattes. For those looking for to-go options, the concept offers cold-pressed juices, available on tap and in bottles, and grab-and-go salads.

"We’re thrilled to further develop our presence in the Tri-State area with these upcoming locations in New York and New Jersey, as it has been a goal market from the beginning,” said Keefe this week. “The popularity and reception of Toastique has truly exceeded our expectations.”
