Where to Get Coffee and Breakfast in Wayzata

The two anchors are both new, and they cover different needs:

- Rustica Bakery and Cafe, 795 Lake Street East — a sit-down bakery-cafe from Jester Concepts that opened in November 2025 (its first suburban location). Open daily 7am-5pm, with a pour-over program at the counter using beans roasted by former Rustica owner Greg Hoyt. - Toastique, 320 Engel Street — in the Promenade, the same building as Hotel Landing. Opened November 2024, serving gourmet toasts, smoothies, and craft coffee all day, built for grab-and-go.

If you want a table, a pastry case, and a real pour-over, go to Rustica. If you want to be in and out with a smoothie or a toast, go to Toastique. They're a few blocks apart, so you can honestly try both in one morning.

The specific thing to know: Rustica serves pour-over at the counter using beans roasted by Greg Hoyt, the former Rustica owner. That's a hand-brewed, single-cup program, not just drip from an urn — the kind of detail that separates a bakery-cafe from a coffee counter.

Rustica is also run by Jester Concepts, the same restaurant group behind Mirabelle in Excelsior, and the Wayzata location at 795 Lake Street East is the bakery's first move into the suburbs. It opened in November 2025 and runs 7am-5pm every day.

So the Rustica morning is the sit-down one: a bakery case, a table, and a carefully sourced pour-over. Plan for it when you have time to stay a while rather than beat a clock.

Toastique, at 320 Engel Street in the Promenade, is the grab-and-go answer. It opened in downtown Wayzata in November 2024 and serves gourmet toasts, smoothies, and craft coffee all day.

The format is the point: it's built for a quick order and a quick exit, which is what you want on a workday or before a lake morning. It shares the Promenade building with Hotel Landing, so it's easy to fold into a walk through downtown.

Match the spot to your intent. Toast and a smoothie on the move is Toastique. A pastry, a table, and a pour-over is Rustica. Both are downtown, so the choice is really about how much time you've got.

If you're willing to drive a few minutes around the lake to Excelsior, 318 Cafe at 318 Water Street pours Dogwood coffee and works as a cafe and coffeehouse by day. Phone (952) 401-7902.

It's more than a coffee stop — the menu runs to prosciutto flatbread, avocado toast, and a roasted beet and goat cheese salad, and by night the room turns into a live-music listening space. For a slower weekend coffee that can turn into brunch, it earns the short trip.

Between Rustica and Toastique in Wayzata and 318 Cafe in Excelsior, the west metro's morning options have gotten noticeably better in the last two years.

Rustica Bakery and Cafe opens at 7am and runs to 5pm, seven days a week, at 795 Lake Street East. That 7am open makes it the reliable early-morning option downtown.

Toastique serves toasts, smoothies, and craft coffee all day at 320 Engel Street in the Promenade, so it covers the mid-morning and lunch window as well as the early rush.

A quick planning tip: if you want to sit down with a pour-over before the day starts, Rustica's 7am open is your window. If you're grabbing something between errands, Toastique's all-day format is the safer bet.
