Who is ready for a newcomer to Wayzata’s restaurant lineup?

Well, well, look who made it from the breakfast table to the restaurant table. Toastique, a gourmet toast and juice bar, is set to open this fall in Wayzata. While the restaurant name gives a logical whiff at what’s in store (yes, gourmet toast), customers can expect bowls, coffee, cold pressed juices, iced collagen lattes, smoothies, vegan soft-serve ice cream and wellness shots.

Warm Apple Spice Oats include apples, raisins, walnuts, granola, chai spice, maple syrup and oats. Discover the Warm Berry Oats with banana, strawberries, blueberries, granola, maple syrup and oats.

Let’s credit avocado toast with cracking open the door to elevated toast incarnations, and Toastique swings it wide open with its take on the breakfast (now any meal) staple. What else can diners expect from 7 a.m.–7 p.m. daily at one of Wayzata’s latest restaurant residents? Consider 3 Cheese Italian (Hello, roasted garlic-onion jam.); Avocado Smash (Watermelon radish is a featured guest.); Greek (The entire cast is here.); PB Crunch (PB plays a minor role.); Smoked Salmon (Smoked pastrami salmon commands attention.); Tomato Burrata (Anything with burrata is a winner.); Tuscan Tuna (Capers and scallions make a winning partnership.) and Spicy Crab (Sriracha aioli ups the flavor factor.).

B Crunch hits with honey roasted peanut butter, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, berry jam, granola, peanuts, honey drizzle and mint on walnut raisin toast.

To infuse variety, each month offers featured toast, and seasonal juice and smoothie offerings are available. “This allows us to constantly innovate and surprise our customers with unique flavors and combinations, keeping our menu fresh and exciting, while also giving our customers something to look forward to every time they visit,” says Laura Seabloom, co-owner along with her husband, Scott Seabloom. While October’s toast was not revealed at press time, Pumpkin Spiced Smoothie and Spiced Asian Pear Juice will make their debuts.

The Fall Spiced Pumpkin Smoothie features Asian pear, apple, orange, cranberry, ginger, cinnamon and mulling spice.

While the menu features plenty of options, bread—to be fair—is the star of the show. Varieties include all-natural multigrain, Rustico, sourdough, walnut-raisin and jalapeño cheddar without artificial flavors or preservatives. “We believe that bread should not be an afterthought,” Lyon Bakery notes. “Our bakers are skilled in the art and science of traditional breadmaking, and our passion is evident crust to crumb.”

With plenty of business real estate to choose from, why did the Seablooms land in Wayzata? “Wayzata has always been a special location for our family,” Laura says. “We live close by and love being by the lake and community. We feel that Toastique is a great fit among the other wonderful restaurants and businesses.”

Their appreciation for the community aside, the Seablooms also felt their skill sets aligned to bring their dream of being business owners together to fruition. Laura has experience in health, wellness and fashion, and Scott has been in the retail technology industry his entire career. “Bringing Toastique to the Twin Cities gives us an opportunity to bring our experiences and passions together and engage with the local and surrounding communities in an impactful and meaningful way,” Scott says.

Soups are made daily, so the recipes change every day.

What else is cooking for Toastique? The franchise is based in Washington, D.C., with locations in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia, and there are plans for two more Metro locations.
