We’ve got a DOLLY DRINK! ♥️💔♥️ Good strong cold brew with some vanilla for sweetness, topped with banana puddling cold foam and yellow and pink sprinkles! Only the best to honor this queen.

Rumor has it that she loved banana puddling. Celebrate this amazing human with us. We’re calling the drink the “9to5”!

Did you know we make our syrups in house from scratch? Amelia is perfecting our pumpkin spice and Teagan is working on an apple crisp situation. Fall flavors are the best flavors - it’s just a fact.

We’ll be dropping our fall menu oh so soon! Stay tuned.

Pretty much feeling like this cat over here at the cafe. 😩 it has been a summer of ups and downs - mostly highs but yikes - the lows were real dumb. Sorry we haven’t been posting much these days. We’re a little overwhelmed. Here’s the quick recap…

1. Cat - we write and draw on our deli case. She’s a sweet little deli case but she did break down for a week.
2. Remember the Raven’s Nest Cup? Yall voted and the winners were the Kickass Cowboy Latte and the Nutella Banana Crepe!! We totally forgot to announce that due to a death in our family. Ugh.
3. As per the rules of the cup - everyone who voted got dropped in a jar and we pulled out a winner! That’s Maddie - from St. Olaf. They have been alerted!
4. Floor bacon (don’t worry, it wasn’t served)
5. We still found time to ride bikes! Yesterday was the Cannon River Clay Tour and a handful of our friends rode bikes to each stop
6. We love our grinders. Especially when they work well. We’ve got a tech coming out tomorrow to give these some love!
7. Yup - that’s our van. The cafe rags spontaneously combusted after a visit to the laundromat, ruining our van and everything in it including the Greg and Bri’s clothes. A mutual aid call went out and wow - folks shows up. Our friends brought clothes and donated funds! Thank you.
8. We’re starting to dream up fall specials but thought we’d keep the pear Gouda on the menu for good measure. Here’s a mini one for fun.

More good things to be posted ASAP.

We love you and we’ll see you soon.

In the real world many of us witnessed some two crazy soccer games this last week. Oof. In our little cafe world we are down to 4 “teams” or items - We have drink versus drink and crepe verses crepe. We’re gonna call this the LAST ROUND! Then we’ll end up with the perfect meal, right?

You can vote online for fun. Here’s what we got:
☕️cappuccino - 8oz drink with one double shot of espresso and steamed milk (cow, oat, or almond). We serve ours with a glass of pelligrino on the side.
VS
🤠Kickass Cowboy Latte - espresso, steamed milk, and our house made kickass syrup that has ginger & pepper in it! She’s a little spicy.

🍌Banana Nutella Crepe - a classic but we put crushed pretzels on ours to add a little salty crunch!
VS
🍋Lemoncurd Blueberry Crepe - yes we make our lemoncurd in house (lemon/sugar/egg/butter) it’s fussy to make but so worth it. Top that with fresh blueberries and maple glazed almonds.

What’s it gonna be?

Thanks for playing along!
