What's the difference between an espresso bar and a coffee shop?

An espresso bar focuses on espresso-based drinks pulled by trained baristas. A coffee shop might serve drip coffee and basic lattes. At Toastique, our espresso bar is built around properly extracted shots, precise milk steaming, and drinks that highlight the espresso itself.

What espresso beans does Toastique use?

We use a specialty-grade espresso blend with notes of chocolate and caramel. The grind is calibrated daily and the shots are timed for consistent extraction. No burnt taste, no bitter finish.

What's a cortado and how is it different from a latte?

A cortado is equal parts espresso and steamed milk. It's smaller, bolder, and lets the espresso lead. A latte uses more milk, so it's smoother and creamier. If you want to taste the espresso more, go cortado. If you want something lighter, go latte.

Do you have decaf espresso options?

Yes. We can pull decaf shots for any espresso-based drink on the menu. Same quality, same care, just without the caffeine.

Can I watch the baristas make my drink?

Yes. Our bar is open so you can see every shot pulled and every drink built. We're not hiding anything back there.

What's the best espresso drink for beginners?

Start with a latte, hot or iced. It's smooth, approachable, and easy to customize with your choice of milk. If you want something bolder, try an americano. If you're already into espresso, a cortado or flat white is the move.

Do you sell coffee beans to take home?

Check with our team in store. Availability varies by location, but we're happy to point you in the right direction.

Is there a loyalty program for espresso lovers?

Yes. Join Toastique Rewards to earn points with every order. You'll unlock exclusive rewards and get a free toast on your birthday. New members get a free 16 oz juice on tap with any $10+ purchase.

SPECIALTY COFFEE

Espresso, done properly

Downtown San Jose has plenty of places to grab coffee. Finding a proper espresso bar is a different story. Toastique on West Santa Clara St. is built around the espresso itself, pulled correctly, timed precisely, and served by baristas who treat it like a craft.

We're serious about espresso. The beans are dialed in daily. The shots are timed. The milk is steamed to proper temperature, not scalded. Whether you want a classic double shot or a perfectly balanced cortado, we make it right.

ESPRESSO MENU

Shots pulled with precision

From classic doubles to silky flat whites and bold cortados, proper espresso culture has a home in Great Falls now. One drink at a time.

Espresso

A perfectly pulled shot. The foundation of everything we do.

Cortado

Equal parts espresso and steamed milk. Bold, balanced, no frills.

Flat White

Velvety microfoam with double ristretto shots. Smooth and strong.

Macchiato

Espresso marked with just a touch of steamed foam. Simple, bold, and to the point.

Cappuccino

Espresso with equal parts steamed milk and foam. Classic Italian ratio, properly layered.

Fresh-brewed coffee with steamed milk. Simple, smooth, and easy to drink all morning.

Americano

Espresso poured over hot water. Clean, bold, and smooth with an expresso-style finish.

Iced Americano

Espresso poured over ice and topped with cold water. Clean, bold, and refreshing.

Iced Latte

Espresso and your choice of milk over ice. Smooth, creamy, and easy to make your own.

Iced Mocha

Espresso, rich chocolate, and milk over ice. A little indulgent, a lot energizing.

About Toastique San Jose – Downtown

West Santa Clara St. has a lot going on. We carved out a corner of it for proper espresso. The shots are pulled fresh, the grind is adjusted throughout the day, and the baristas actually know the difference between a cortado and a small latte. That matters when espresso is what you came for.

The downtown lunch crowd swings through between meetings. Game day regulars grab a nitro cold brew before heading to SAP Center. Weekend mornings bring the San Pedro Square Market crowd looking for a flat white and something to eat. The espresso bar fits into all of it.

Stop in whenever. We open early and keep pulling shots until close. The espresso is always fresh.
