Toastique, a gourmet toast, juice, and coffee bar known for its vibrant offerings, has revealed its newest location in Rapid City, South Dakota. The establishment, owned by a husband-and-wife team, will be the first of its kind in South Dakota.

At the new location, customers can look forward to gourmet toast varieties, smoothie bowls, cold-pressed juices, espresso, coffee, and quick meal options.

The couple is excited to introduce Rapid City to a unique establishment that combines their passion for wellness, design, and fostering connections within the community.

Toastique’s Rapid City debut will take place in a 1,500 square foot area within the Block 5 building, the city’s largest development project thus far. This development will also house a Hyatt Place hotel, residential lofts, retail spaces, and meeting areas.
