Bryant Park Is Getting A New Cafe — Here's When And Where

MIDTOWN, NY — There's a new kid on the block.

Toastique, a new, health-conscious cafe, is setting up shop on Fifth Avenue, steps away from the New York Public Library and Bryant Park at 445 Fifth Ave.

The cafe — with staples like avocado toast, green juices and espresso drinks — will open its doors for the first time on Saturday, April 5 at 8 a.m.

With locations in Washington D.C., California, Colorado, Florida, New Jersey and more, the new cafe on Fifth Avenue is the growing chain's first New York City-based store.

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.

To start on a good foot with the neighborhood, the first 100 customers will receive a gift card to spend at the cafe.

Menu Highlights

The cafe is serving up toasts with toppings, like the Avocado Smash Toast (avocado with watermelon radish, marinated tomatoes, chili oil, and microgreens on multigrain toast) and the Tomato Burrata Toast (herbed ricotta, pesto, tomatoes, burrata, basil, olive oil, and balsamic glaze on rustico toast).

The concept also offers a variety of smoothie bowls, including an 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).

In addition to the regular espresso bar fare, the cafe will also serve specialized coffee drinks including 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.
