Today’s guest has carved out a unique lane in the food industry offering all the benefits of a typical cold juice bar but with the added micro-cafe toast concept.

We’re talking about Toastique, with founder and CEO Brianna Keefe. She created the first Toastique storefront just five years ago at the age of 24 with nothing to lose. And the success was immediate. Now with franchising available, the brand is expanding quickly and Brianna’s attention to detail has these new locations ready to give customers an amazing experience.  The brand is healthy, fast casual food which is a rare combination in today’s restaurant industry and it was created around no extreme cooking equipment.
