Cafe franchise Toastique is planning its first Raleigh location. It will join The Exchange Raleigh, taking over a 1,415-square-foot ground floor space in The Exchange’s 12-story office tower 1000 Social, according to a release from The Exchange Raleigh.
The spot, helmed by franchise owners Jessalyn Abril and Kristi Kaltenbach, is expected to open in the third quarter of 2025.
“We’re honored to bring Toastique to Raleigh and to be part of a community that values health and wellness as much as we do,” Abril and Kaltenbach said in the release. “The Exchange Raleigh’s dedication to creating a well-rounded, thriving environment makes it the perfect location for Toastique’s first venture in the Triangle. Whether you’re starting your day with a wholesome breakfast, enjoying a leisurely brunch or grabbing a quick lunch, Toastique is sure to become your go-to destination for exceptional flavors and quality.”
Toastique is known for its gourmet toasts, smoothies, cold-pressed juices and coffee. Signature menu items include the Avocado Smash Toast, Smoked Salmon Toast and the Green Machine Smoothie.
“We are excited to welcome Toastique to The Exchange Raleigh,” said Steven Beattie, executive vice president of Dewitt Carolinas, the company that manages The Exchange. “This dynamic concept perfectly aligns with our commitment to fostering health and wellness throughout the development. Toastique’s fresh, responsibly sourced menu enhances the vibrant, healthy lifestyle we envision for the community and adds another layer of energy to the property.”
Toastique, founded in Washington, D.C. in 2018, has expanded to 17 states, with more on the way.
