Gourmet All-Day Café Toastique Opening First St. Louis Location Downtown on Nov. 21

The Store is Also the First in Missouri for the Healthy, All-Day Modern Café

ST. LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, November 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Toastique, the vibrant gourmet toast, juice and coffee bar conceptualized in Washington D.C., will officially open the doors to its very first location in Missouri on Saturday, Nov. 21. Located in downtown St. Louis off N. Broadway and next to Gateway Arch National Park, the fast casual spot will offer a nutritious menu, made from scratch, using locally sourced ingredients. Beginning at 8am on opening day, the first 100 people through the doors will receive $50 in Toastique reward dollars with any toast purchase. Those who aren’t the first 100 will still receive a free drip coffee or small juice (12oz) on tap with any $10+ purchase.

With over 60 locations across the nation, Toastique’s foray into the St. Louis market is led by local residents, Stephanie Munaco, Brenda Jones and Paul Larson. The trio are committed to continuing the brand’s mission to make healthy eating approachable, accessible and enjoyable for all. This includes Toastique’s pillars of focus which center on quality, accessibility, sustainability, and community. Munaco, Jones and Larson plan for the store to become a go-to dining destination for those downtown, where its neighbors include fitness centers, healthy grocers and other like-minded businesses.

“We are thrilled to bring one of the fastest growing, healthy food options to St. Louis and expand operations across the metro area over the next two years,” said Paul Larson, Founder of Larson Financial, headquartered in downtown St. Louis. “It is also a privilege to work with some of the brightest minds and talent who have joined us from Panera’s management team to open this new franchise.”

Future customers of Toastique in St. Louis can look forward to the brand’s namesake line of innovative toasts like Avocado Smash, Smoked Salmon and PB Crunch. Also offered will be handheld smoothies and smoothie bowls, chock full of superfood ingredients. In addition to a grab-and-go menu, other menu items include cold-pressed juices, wellness shots and a selection of handcrafted coffee creations.

“The choice to bring Toastique to both St. Louis and Missouri as a whole was an easy one as we felt like there was a gap that could be filled by offering a convenient, gourmet menu in such a bustling area,” said Munaco. “Our location right next to the park and the Arch as a whole is a perfect fit, bringing in our active and vibrant community. Whether after a workout, dining with friends or grabbing a bite to eat during the workday, we want our customers to come as they are and return time and time again.”

Toastique St. Louis – Downtown will be open daily from 7am-5pm and is located at 100 N. Broadway, Suite 130. On Monday, Dec. 21, to mark its 30 days of being open, the store will offer loyalty members a free toast of their choice. That day, customers can also enjoy exclusive tastings and the chance to enter a raffle to win exciting prizes.
