‘Gourmet Toast’ Chain Opening New Detroit Spot

DETROIT — A new coffee and cafe is opening in downtown Detroit next month.

Toastique, a vibrant gourmet toast, juice and coffee bar, will open at 89 Monroe Street, just steps away from Campus Martius on Nov. 8. The first 100 customers will get a $50 Toastique rewards dollars.

The fast-casual cafe will offer a menu of health-focused dishes, including innovative toasts, handcrafted smoothie, cold-pressed juices, coffee and more.

The location will be managed by local residents and siblings - Nour Kanaan, Sarah Kanaan, Hanadi Kanaan, Aya Kanaan, Abbas Kanaan and Zeinab Ballout.

"We’ve selected Detroit as our first Toastique location because we felt like the city really needed something like this; there’s so much growth happening here but not many quick and healthy options for people working or living downtown," Nour said in a statement. "The focus on clean ingredients, vibrant dishes and great-tasting food really spoke to us. Everything on the menu has a purpose behind it — every ingredient is there for a reason, and it’s all nutrient-packed and full of benefits."

The store will be open seven days a week from 7 a.m.-5 p.m.
