What’s on the menu at your coffee bar?

We work hard to make sure our coffee bar menu is carefully crafted yet approachable. We offer specialty coffee and espresso from Brandywine Coffee Roasters, one of the best roasters in the nation, organic and direct-sourced teas from Hugo Tea Co., and other high-quality beverage options. Our milk options are whole milk or oat milk.

We’ve been told our cold brew is “fire” and our chai is the “best in town.” Our flavor options are organic vanilla or local wildflower honey from Apis Mercantile.

We also offer a selection of seasonal baked goods from beloved local bakery, Butcher & Bee.

What's the deal with your mascot?

Our mascot, Coco, was inspired by a donkey we met during a cross-country road trip several years ago. The odd circumstances and wild beauty of our meeting came to represent adventure and exploration – in particular, being open to the unexpected and finding silver linings in even the strangest places.  Read all about Coco in our Journal.
