TOAST IT! Malvern East

Malvern East's cult toastie shop with oozing cheese, salt flakes, and Melbourne-best credentials

Nondescript hole-in-the-wall exterior belying serious cult status. Small café with indoor and outdoor seating, casual and welcoming feel. Busy but energetic rather than overwhelming, with a tight-knit team who know their regulars.

Signature salt flakes finish on every toastie; perfectly calibrated cheese blend that melts stringy and gooey; staff known for genuine warmth including re-making drinks that go cold while customers linger over their toastie.

No specific cultural heritage claim. TOAST IT! elevates the classic Australian toasted sandwich into a craft food with attention to texture, cheese blend, and finishing details like salt flakes.

Toasties run around $20-25, which some find steep for the format, but the overwhelming majority of reviewers say the generous portions and consistent quality justify the spend. Coffee is considered good value.
