Fans of crispy, golden toasted sandwiches, this one is for you. Toastbuds – a pint-sized dispensary of killer toasted sandwiches – is slinging crispy golden-hued sangas near the intersection of Oxford Street and Stuart Street in Bulimba. The concept is the brainchild of Taylor Heslop, a seasoned cafe veteran who had been toying with the idea of opening a dedicated toastie joint for the better part of two years. While Taylor initially envisioned the project as a wholesale-only concept, when friend (and Taylor’s Toastbuds business partners) Jacqueline Quach and Matthew Webb tipped Taylor off to a cosy (and vacant) space just across from Bulimba Memorial Park, the idea rapidly grew into a quick-service pitstop that served not only toasties, but specialty coffee, orange juice and artisanal baked goods. Here you can select from a tight range of crunchy sandwiches featuring five core options – including classic ham and cheese, kimchi and cheese, and mushroom toasties. All toasties will be served on Brasserie Bread, Mabel Pantry is supplying sweet treats and espresso and batch-brew caffeine will be on deck courtesy of Latitude Coffee. While Toastbuds is small in size, seating for 12 gives those dropping by a perch to sit and snack – though with the park so close we reckon it’ll be hard to resist the temptation to lay on the grass with a toastie and coffee in hand.
