Avocado toast obsessives in North Texas and Southeast Texas may have two new haunts on the horizon, as Toastique files fresh paperwork that suggests the growing cafe chain is moving deeper into the state this spring. The Washington, D.C.-born all-day cafe concept is eyeing a site near Park Lane in Dallas and another in Beaumont, with franchisees continuing to plant the brand in suburbs and smaller cities. The filings hint at an aggressive build-out for one project, although company and municipal records leave exact opening dates unresolved for now.
According to the Houston Chronicle, a permit filed in February lists a Dallas-Fort Worth address at 8060 Park Lane, and a more recent filing outlines work at 6755 Phelan Blvd. in Beaumont. The Chronicle notes that the Park Lane location would be the fifth Toastique in the DFW metroplex, while paperwork for the Beaumont spot lists construction starting in late June with a projected finish by the end of August 2026. As the outlet points out, filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation are subject to change and do not always translate into an immediately announced grand opening.
"Whether you notice it or not, you eat with your eyes first," founder Brianna Keefe writes about the brand’s focus on artfully arranged plates and colorful bowls, per Toastique. Since its 2018 founding, Toastique has built a menu around gourmet toasts, cold-pressed juices, açaí and smoothie bowls, plus a full espresso program. Franchisees say that mix travels well from market to market, which helps explain how a D.C. original has spread into multiple Texas neighborhoods in just a few years.
Where They Would Sit
The Park Lane address sits in a busy retail pocket along North Dallas’ Park Lane corridor, a stretch already packed with shoppers and commuters. In Beaumont, the permit filing points to a suite within the Colonnade shopping center on Phelan Boulevard, according to the Houston Chronicle. The Beaumont paperwork again lists 6755 Phelan Blvd. and lays out a construction schedule that stretches through the late-summer months. Nearby residents and businesses are likely to see permit placards and early site work long before any ribbon-cutting makes it to social media.
Franchise Push, Not A One-Off
Industry outlets report that Toastique’s growth is driven largely by franchising, with operators snapping up slots in suburban centers and lifestyle retail corridors instead of focusing only on marquee downtown addresses. Franchising.com covered a Flower Mound franchise last year, and local coverage from the avocado army invades Uptown has tracked the brand’s rollout across Dallas neighborhoods. Taken together, those moves help explain why Toastique is popping up in established shopping centers and smaller Texas communities alike, as per Hoodline.
Neither Toastique nor local officials have released firm grand-opening dates for the Park Lane or Beaumont locations. For now, the most reliable way to track confirmed debuts is through the brand’s locations page and municipal permit databases. Toastique shows current Texas cafes and will carry official notices once franchisees lock in their timelines. Hoodline will continue watching permit filings and local announcements and will update readers as construction at the two proposed cafes moves ahead.
