About TOAST
OUR STORY
Three friends, one idea
Where it all began
TOAST was founded by three friends who wanted to rethink the coffee shop. We started in Braintree in February 2020 — just weeks before the world changed. We kept going. Award-winning coffee, legendary hand-made toasties, and a team that feels like family. Eight stores later, we're opening the doors for the right partners to join us.
Coffee for a Coffee
Giving back, every single day
For every coffee bought in our stores, we donate one to a local charity or community group. Since 2024, we've given away over 100,000 cups. It's not a marketing line — it's how we operate.
