Gourmet Modern Café Toastique to Open April 11 in Westlake Village

Toastique - Westlake Village will be owned and operated by friends and local residents Katherine and Leonid Tsap, and Alina and Dmytro Gaidukovych. Already searching for the perfect franchise to partner on together, they were immediately drawn to the restaurant's concept after visiting another location across the country in the brand's home of Washington D.C. Seeing the potential, the couples wanted to bring Toastique's healthy offerings back to Westlake Village. They envision the store to be a destination for individuals and families alike, fitting in with the community's dedication to living a healthy lifestyle.

All dishes on Toastique's menu are comprised of high-quality, responsibly sourced ingredients with most items made to order. This includes the brand's signature gourmet toasts in flavors like Avocado Smash, PB Crunch and3 Cheese Italian. Its handcrafted smoothies and smoothie bowls are able to be customizedwith an array of superfood ingredients while its hand-pressed juicesare both bottled and fresh-poured right in-store. Rounding out the menu are coffee selections like espresso and lattes in addition to a grab-and-go variety.

"When we first discovered Toastique, we loved it so much that we ended up returning for breakfast several days in a row, and we knew we had to bring the concept back to our community," said Katherine Tsap. "Westlake Village is such an amazing, family-oriented town where you run into people you know on a daily basis and we knew immediately that they would resonate with the expansive healthy menu that even those who are vegan or gluten-free can enjoy."
