✨ WE’RE READY FOR A ROARING GOOD TIME ✨
Downtown is about to feel very Great Gatsby this weekend — and Red Cup Café is bringing the Prohibition-era magic ☕🐄

We’re welcoming the mini Highland cows from Wagner’s Ranch AND rolling out a limited-time Roaring 20’s menu you do not want to miss…

⸻

🥃 THE PROHIBITION COFFEE BAR

🖤 The Bootlegger
Classic black coffee — bold, smooth, and straight-up outlaw approved.

💃 The Flapper
A rich, decadent mocha that’s as fabulous as your favorite fringe dress.

🕵️‍♂️ The Speakeasy
A dirty chai with a little mystery and a whole lot of attitude.

⸻

🍰 WEEKEND-ONLY SWEET TREATS

🎩 The Gatsby
Chocolate cocoa muffin served with homemade cherry compote — indulgent, elegant, and straight-up roaring.

🕯️ The After Hours Brownie
Dark, bold espresso brownies — rich, smooth, and a little dangerous.

⸻

🥪 SAVORY SPEAKEASY BITES

🗝️ The Society Lady
House-made egg salad sandwich — classic, creamy, and perfectly proper.

🎶 The Jazz Club
Chicken salad sandwich — smooth, savory, and cool as a trumpet solo.

⸻

Throw on your pearls, grab your best fedora, and come sip, snack, and snap photos with the cutest Highland cows in town.
This weekend only. Downtown never looked so good. 🖤✨

❄️ Cozy Season = Muffin Season ❄️

Cold outside? We’ve got exactly what your soul needs.

Come warm up at Red Cup Café with a fresh, fluffy chocolate chip muffin topped with strawberry icing and your favorite cozy drink in hand.

It’s sweet, it’s comforting, and it’s basically a hug in muffin form. 🧁

Grab a friend, grab a seat, and let winter slow down for a minute.

🎄☕ Parade Update + Weekend Plans! ☕🎄

We’re sad the parade was rescheduled too — but hey, it’s the midwest… the place where we drive through blizzards for fun until someone mentions snow in a forecast, and suddenly everything gets canceled. 😂❄️
It’s all good though — we’ll roll with it!

We truly have one of the BEST spots in town to view the parade, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you on the new date: 12/5!

In the meantime…
Small Business Saturday is a BIG deal for all of us local businesses. So don’t let a little weather scare you away — come warm up with us and support your local favorites!

🧁 Fresh muffins
🥪 Sandwiches
☕ Coffee
🍫 Hot chocolate
🍵 Tea
…all the cozy things to kick off your holiday season.

We’re here, we’re festive, and we’re ready to make this weekend magical — snow or no snow! 🎄✨
