MELBOURNE | Toasta & Co. West Melbourne is the permanent location of 2 of Melbourne’s favourite food trucks, Toasta & Von Crumb. Just like the food trucks, it’s all about awesome toasties and fancy schnitzel sandwiches. We spoke to owner Rebecca Feingold about the decision to move into a permanent location and she told us that it was because people wanted it. As the Toasta food truck became more popular, it was being used more and more for events rather than just popping up at locations around Melbourne. People kept asking where the actual shop was, so it was a natural next step.
There are 10 toasties on the menu, which offer something for everyone looking for a simple, tasty treat. There’s the classic “Harry”, which contains a blend of cheeses, ham and tomato and our favourite, the epic “Mack Daddy” which fills you up with cheese, mac & cheese, pulled pork, BBQ sauce, and caramalised onion. If it’s something else you’re after, there’s the Von Crumb offering, which is a selection of buttermilk soaked, thigh schnitzel sandwiches. We tried and loved the Vietnamese inspired “Viet” – schnitzel, pickled Asian vegetables, hoisin mayo, mint, and coriander. The pretzel roll used for the schnitzel sandwiches is crunchy on the outside and soft and springy inside.
On the drinks front there’s a surprisingly strong selection of local craft beers on offer from the likes of Hawkers, Feral and Bridge Road along with soft drinks and juices. There’s even a breakfast toastie, a few breakfast options and coffee using Proud Mary beans.
The atmosphere is fun and casual, with an open kitchen and cute artwork dotted around the walls. Music is eclectic – you can expect Fleetwood Mac one moment and Bill Withers the next.
If you want a simple, filling, tasty option that takes you back to your childhood then Toasta & Co definitely ticks all of the right boxes. Also keep an eye out for “Bloody Mary weekends” which will be launching soon.
