The moon is red. The pancakes are dark. Things are getting a little batty.

Our Halloween Month of Tricks continues with this week’s BLOOD MOON SHORTSTACK! Dark chocolate, raspberry, and orange collide in a stack that’s out of this world. No sacrifices required. Just a fork.

BITE OF HISTORY: For centuries, blood moons have been blamed for everything from bad luck to impending doom. In reality, they’re total lunar eclipses that turn the moon a spooky shade of red. Turns out, the moon isn’t cursed. It’s just going through a phase.

October is serving up tricks all month long. First to crawl out of the kitchen: 6 FEET UNDER — chocolate chip pancakes buried under chocolate pudding, Oreo “dirt,” and gummy worms.

A new Halloween Shortstack will rise from the dead every week. Some treats. Some tricks. One may even have legs…

BITE OF HISTORY: Dirt-and-worms desserts crawled onto American tables in the 1980s, when “dirt cake” became a party favorite made with chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms. Turns out, we’ve been happily eating dirt for decades.

Come dig in.

Snap. Crackle. STACK.

This week’s Shortstack is bringing lunchbox nostalgia to breakfast: fluffy pancakes loaded up with peanut butter and Rice Crispy Bar goodness!

A BITE OF HISTORY: Rice Krispies hit shelves in 1928, but their famous sounds quickly became the real stars. Early radio ads described the cereal as “snap, crackle and pop” in milk, inspiring artist Vernon Grant to turn those sounds into three little characters. Snap appeared on boxes first, with Crackle and Pop eventually joining him. And for a brief moment in the 1950s, there was even a fourth character named Pow!—a space-age mascot who appeared in just two TV commercials before disappearing from cereal history.

Some ideas take a week. Some take a month. And some apparently need to marinate in Eric’s brain for a few years.

This week, one of those longtime ideas finally made it to the griddle: the Dark Chocolate Pistachio Shortstack. Rich dark chocolate. Pistachio. Fluffy pancakes. Proof that procrastination can, occasionally, be delicious.

A BITE OF HISTORY: Pistachios have been dessert material for centuries. In the Middle East and Mediterranean, they became staples in sweets like baklava, halva, and later pistachio-filled pastries and ice creams. In Sicily, pistachios grown around Bronte became especially prized for desserts—including gelato, cakes, and pastries. Turns out chocolate and pistachio didn’t need us to introduce them. We’re just putting them on pancakes.

This week’s Apple Pie à la Mode Shortstack brings warm apple-pie goodness, fluffy pancakes, and a little à la mode on top.

Is it starting to taste a little like fall? Maybe. But we promise it’s still a summer flavor if we refuse to call it a fall one.

A BITE OF HISTORY: In Austria and parts of Central Europe, sweet dishes called Mehlspeisen have long been eaten as an actual meal—not just dessert. Think fruit-filled dumplings, sweet pancakes, and Kaiserschmarrn—a fluffy, shredded pancake traditionally served with fruit.

So really, pancakes for dessert—or dessert for breakfast—has historical precedent. We’re just doing our part.

Summer continues.

We know the calendar says September, but Minnesota summer is short enough. We’re not giving it back early

This week’s Cake of the Week is a Lemon Meringue Shortstack — bright lemon, fluffy meringue, and enough summer flavor to help us ignore the fact that someone, somewhere, has already started talking about pumpkin spice.

A Bite of History: Lemon meringue pie started taking shape in the 1800s, when bakers figured out that tart lemon custard was even better under a giant pile of fluffy meringue.

Come squeeze in one more taste of summer before Minnesota changes seasons without consulting any of us.

New chef. New stack. Very old recipe inspiration.

This week we’re serving up a Wojapi Shortstack (wo-ZHA-pee), topped with a seasonal blueberry and blackberry wojapi.

It’s also the first Stack of the Week from our new chef, Tyler, who chose a dish inspired by his family heritage.

A Bite of History: Wojapi is a traditional berry sauce originating with the Dakota and Lakota peoples of the Northern Plains, historically made with tart fruits like chokecherries. Our version blends blueberries and blackberries for a naturally sweeter twist.

Sweet, a little tart, and stacked high—which is pretty much how we like things here in Minnesota.

This Week’s Shortstack is SMEACHES

S’mores + peaches + pancakes = Smeaches.

A family tradition straight from our own kids that has officially made its way onto the cafe griddle. Proof that sometimes the kids really do have the best ideas. Please don’t tell them we said that.

Bite of History: The first known printed s’mores recipe appeared in a 1927 Girl Scout publication under the name “Some More.” Nearly 100 years later, we’re still finding new reasons to ask for some more.

Update -THE HOOD HAS BEEN REVIVED. 🚨

Apparently it just needed a little attention, some professional help, and a chance to vent.

WE’RE BACK OPEN! Come hungry — we’ve got some catching up to do.

- - - -

Earlier - Well… our hood vent has officially decided it’s Friday too.

Unfortunately, that means State Street Cafe will be CLOSED as we fix it.

We’re working on getting things back up and running as quickly as possible and will keep you posted and plan to re-open at 10am

Thanks for understanding, friends. 💗

The pancake of this week is a Strawberry Bourbon Cobbler. Sweet strawberries, buttery cobbler goodness, and a splash of bourbon—all stacked on fluffy pancakes. Basically summer with better decision-making.

BITE OF HISTORY- Did you know booze saved the berries? Before refrigeration, alcohol was one way to preserve a good fruit harvest. Colonial Americans soaked fruit in spirits—George Washington’s family even had a recipe for Cherry Bounce, made with cherries and brandy.

Turns out fruit + booze has been a good idea for a few hundred years.

We just added pancakes.
