Toastique to open Johns Creek location this summer on Old Alabama Road

Toastique’s new Johns Creek shop will put a fast breakfast and lunch stop at 3005 Old Alabama Road, just off a corridor that many south Forsyth drivers already use for shopping, errands and park trips near Newtown Park. The concept is built around quick-service items that fit weekday routines, including gourmet toast, smoothies, superfood bowls, coffee, cold-pressed juices and an espresso bar.

The store is being owned and operated by Steve Rubin and Randi Rubin, a husband-and-wife team that has lived in Johns Creek for two decades. Their local ties give the opening a neighborhood feel that goes beyond a typical chain rollout, especially in a city where residents often look for polished casual dining and healthier alternatives to standard fast food. The couple also plans to open two more Toastique locations in the area after this debut, signaling confidence that the brand can grow beyond a single storefront.

That growth makes sense in Johns Creek’s demographic profile. The city lists 85,814 residents, a median household income of $132,132 and 88% of adults with a bachelor’s degree or higher. Other demographic profiles put household income even higher, at about $160,185. Those numbers help explain why premium fast-casual concepts continue to look appealing there: the market has enough purchasing power to support coffee, smoothie and lunch concepts that trade on convenience as much as on menu quality.

Toastique Johns Creek has also been building local visibility ahead of opening, including a mural contest for area artists to create the cafe’s signature mural and feature wall. That kind of community-facing branding suggests the shop wants to become more than a pit stop for coffee and toast. It is trying to position itself as a daily habit for commuters, fitness-minded customers and families who want something lighter than a full sit-down meal.

For Forsyth readers, the larger story is the direction of dining growth just south of the county line. Johns Creek keeps attracting health-focused, fast-casual brands that combine speed with a more polished presentation, and those openings increasingly serve the same north-metro households that move between Forsyth, Johns Creek and neighboring commercial corridors. Toastique’s arrival points to a retail pattern that is still spreading outward, one espresso bar and grab-and-go breakfast at a time.
