All day great toast options to enjoy with your coffee.

Big, tasty news from the Southside of town. Along with all the great, hand-brewed coffees, a bit of Bakehouse pastry and some pots of loose leaf tea, Zingerman’s Coffee Co. is now serving TOAST!! That’s right, freshly made to order, on Bakehouse breads, with pretty terrific, anything-but-everyday, toppings! They’re all delicious with a cup of coffee—I’m excited about the Costa Rica right now!
The first three toast offerings started this past week—three more will start soon! And after that . . . maybe a few more still!
- Portuguese Cinnamon Toast – I had this in Lisbon many years ago and it’s been in the back of my mind ever since. I don’t honestly know if it was unique to the café I had it at, or something that many Portuguese people eat, but I loved it and will forever associate it with my visit there. Zingerman’s Bakehouse cinnamon raison (sourdough) bread, toasted (of course) and then topped with extra virgin olive oil and an excellent cinnamon sugar made from old-school, natural Muscovado brown sugar from Mauritius, and Indonesian cinnamon.
- Bulgarian Toast – The Bakehouse’s very wonderful Sesame Semolina bread, Zingerman’s Creamery’s handmade Cream Cheese, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a generous spreading of Lutenitsa. Assuming you don’t know it, it’s a fantastic spread made of roasted peppers, roasted eggplant and tomatoes. Lutenitsa is much-loved in my house and apparently all over its homeland of Bulgaria. Everyone Bulgarian I’ve ever met tells me how good their grandmother’s was! We top the toast off with a little a bit of coarsely ground black pepper from our 5-Star Black Pepper blend! Love it!
- Teutonic Toast – The Bakehouse’s very dense and very delicious Dinkelbrot (spelt bread), sliced thinly by hand, then spread with the Creamery’s goat cream cheese, and sprinkled with Wild Uzbek Cumin seeds. Really a fantastic set of flavors!
All three toasts are available all day at the Coffee Co. so . . . you can have some for breakfast, some for lunch, for an afternoon snack or light evening meal. Or come back three times in the same day and eat all your meals with us! More terrific toasts to come soon!
