Review: Toastology – A Toasted Sandwich Bar in Stockbridge

December 28, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A busy spot on Deanhaugh St, Toastology elevates the humble toastie to an art form. Try the Pulled Ham “Stockbridge Stack” or a rich hot chocolate. Ideally suited for takeaway due to popularity. A delicious, if slightly pricey, lunch treat.
