Valentines Specials

For V-Day we concocted some lovely specialties, for sweethearts with a sweet tooth...


 



 
German Chocolate Cake Mocha:
Coconut and chocolate in espresso, with 
extra foamy steamed milk.  Whipped cream and real coconut shreds finish it off,  just like the decedent cake of the same name.



 
Raspberries n' Cream Mocha:
Espresso stirred into Chocolate & Raspberry with coconut steamed milk poured over top, add a
mountain of whipped cream
drizzled with chocolate & raspberry syrup.  An indulgent sweet treat for your sweetheart!



CaramelMint Hot Chocolate:
Caramel and peppermint blend into steamed milk thick with rich chocolate for this winter
favourite with a twist!



Come on, you know it's just long enough after the holidays that you can get away with it!  So why not stop by and try one out?

To Warm You Up...

After shoveling snow and salting the walk, you may have forgotten what it was like to have feeling in your limbs, and your poor heart is most-likely frosted over from the cold.  We have a remedy for that.  Thick and steamy mugs of Tiger's Milk Chai have been known to melt the coldest of hearts, and thaw out the most frozen fingers. 

Tigers Milk Chai:
4 OZ Chai (Indian spiced black tea), cold steeped extra long.
4 OZ whole milk (because you're cheating yourself if you use anything less than whole!)
2 or 3 TBSP Honey (from the Fine Family Apiary!)
A dash of Cinnamon.

Steam the first three ingrediants together until the concoction becomes silky smooth and piping hot.  If you are making this at home, just use your stovetop and whisk the ingrediants in a small pot as they heat, vigorous whisking will warm you up even faster and make the blend smoother.  When finished, pour into a mug and toss some Cinnamon atop.  Enjoy while sitting in front of any heat source, stirring with a Honey stick or a Cinnamon stick, and watching the giant snowflakes fall outside your well-sealed window. 

Have a cozy winter!  :-)

Wintertime specials

Add on's to our lunchtime menu:

Ham and Chedder on Oatwheat

Turkey and Provolone on Oatwheat

Look Out- we just got a Panini-maker for Christmas!  Panini's soon to come! 

Wintertime specials are...

Rummy Mocha (the Betsy Drink!)
A drop of imitation rum extract into the espresso and chocolate, whisked and topped with foamed milk. We first made it for our Betsy and she hasn't stopped ordering it since!
    Can be made either "cappuccino", "latte" or "flat", your choice.

Caramel Creme Latte
Espresso with foamed milk mixed with creamy rich caramel syrups for a smooth taste with caramel drizzle on top.

Mint Hot Chocolate (Mocha version of this available too, of course)
Peppermint infused decedant hot chocolate.  Add espresso to make it a mocha!

We are really starting to miss the sunshine- and its only been winter for a week!  So we tossed up some sunny drink ideas and decided on coconut, an island fruit, to add a little fun to the winter dollrdrums.

Coconut Cappuccino
Foamy and fluffy, for you coconut lovers!

German Chocolate Macchiato (German Chocolate Mocha also!)
A blend of Coconut & Chocolate Syrup, with real shredded coconut on top, just like the icing on the cake of the same name... ;-)


Have a favourite from a previous specialty menu?   Just ask, we'll make the Orange Truffle, Autumn Spice, Honey Bunn, Raspberry Hot Chocolate, and much more!

Thanks to all you wonderful people for checking in on us.  So far, everything is going well.  Our community is full of kind hearts and caring people we are happy to call friends.  We hope to be ready to have Open Mike Night on Friday's, starting in February.   If you are interested, stop by, sign up, and spread the word!
