There's less than an hour to try this week's weeklys special. Kicking off the Darkroom Café's brand new (never before seen) 🍨 ICE CREAM SERIES 🍨 is a fresh taste that, despite being based on something cold, will be sure to melt your heart. Introducing for the first time ever, the DRC'S 🍒🍦🍫 CHERRY GARCIA 🍫🍦🍒!!!

Happy almost Easter for those of you who celebrate!!🥚 🎊🐤🐇 Next weekend's forecast calls for nice weather (actually warm, for once) so hopefully that'll hold true for the holiday. In celebration of egg-hunting day, we're bringing you an updated version of our Easter Special for this week .... THE EASTER EGG! 🐣🐰

Similar to a hot chocolate, but instead with a caramel base, this decked out drink with marshmallows, caramel, and sprinkles is more decorated than an actual easter egg. It's going to be egg-cellent. Stop by anytime on or before 3/30 to give it a try.

After a long hiatus of not posting on our facebook, we're back to inform you that it's too late to try our girl scout specials, like the Thin Mint hot chocolate pictured below.

But it's just your luck, because this week has something great, too. Maybe even better! (Re-)introducing our famous St. Patrick's Day Special: Irish-ish Coffee! Like Irish Coffee, it has a hint of something special inside. Except, for us it's maple syrup, not alcohol. Sorry, not sorry. Available 3/17 - 3/23.

The Groliday Party may be over, but the seasonal fun is not! Stop by the Darkroom Café during open hours anytime before we close for the season to try one (or all) of our awesome Holiday Specials!

Happy almost-done-with-the semester! Next week is the last week of the Darkroom Café until we get back from break. We'll officially be closing our window gate for the semester at 11:59 PM on Saturday, December 16th.

However, until then, not only will we be open every night 8 PM - 12 AM, but we will also have not one, but THREE HOLIDAY SPECIALS!!! Two of them--Mrs. Claus and Hanukkah Donut--are classic returners from the Gregory of yore. Cup of Kwanzaa is our newest addition, designed in conjunction with Makuu.

Mrs. Claus 🧑‍🎄🎄 is a festive peppermint hot chocolate tree-topped with red stained whipped cream, sprinkles, and crushed candy cane.

Hanukkah Donut 🕎🍩 is a hot strawberry milk drink (not unlike a hot chocolate) topped with a whipped cream "donut" ring rim and piece of chocolate gelt, a chocolate coin used in the Hanukkah game of dreidel. It's loosely inspired by the Hanukkah treat of sufganiyot, or jelly donuts.

Cup of Kwanzaa 🍫🕯️ is a cup of creamy hot chocolate from SPAGnVOLA, a Black-owned chocolatier based in Maryland. Sourcing the hot cocoa from a Black-owned business is meant to support the Kwanzaa principle of Ujamaa, or cooperative economics. SPAGnVOLA has some really amazing chocolate flavours, and you can get Cup of Kwanzaa in either Ginger or Cardamon. As red velvet cupcakes are a common dessert during Kwanzaa celebrations, the hot cocoa will be red velvet themed, with red undertones, and topped with whipped cream and red, yellow, and green sprinkles. The DRC worked in conjunction with Makuu, Penn's Black cultural center, for the drink's design.

Something special is coming soon from the Darkroom Café, but it's not quite ready yet. So while you wait, we've got an interim weekly special for the next couple days.

Something sweet and caffeinated as a slight kick to jumpstart you through the last full week of classes, stop by on or before 12/6 to grab yourself a Care-amel Americano, because we care about you! After, the special will switch into something a little more... festive.

11/27/2023

Welcome back from Thanksgiving Break! Going forward this semester, the Darkroom Café (DRC) will be only open from 10pm - 12am on Saturdays (all other days will maintain normal 8pm - 12am hours).

This week's weekly special will be Creamsicle 🍊🍦(don't be fooled by the name--it's a warm drink). Stop by on or before 12/3 to give it a tea-ste.

Happy end-of-November!

The Darkroom Café (DRC) will be opening late Wednesday (11/22; hours 10pm - 12am) closed Thursday through Saturday, and closing early Sunday (11/26; hours 8pm - 10pm) this week for Thanksgiving Break (Study Break is also not being offered). We at the DRC are, of course, thankful for all of you and your continued presence during our regular hours and events, but everyone needs a break! We look forward to seeing you all again next week.

Since this week is shorter than most, we decided it was the perfect time to have a throwback to our Fall Break special. After all, this is technically our second fall break. In case you missed it last time, stop by to give Maven's Falling Leaves Tea 🍁🍁 a tea-ste (or a re-tea-ste).
