Part Two: First Day at Work Making Totally Normal Drinks

Our new resident witch is officially behind the bar — and apparently she has opinions about the fall menu.

First up: the Apple Spice Matcha Latte. 🍎🍵
Spiced, cozy, very fall, and we promise: NOT poisonous.

Still haven’t guessed her name? Head to Part One and cast your guess in the comments. Get it right and you’ll win 10 free drinks for you and your coven.

Tag your coven, cast your spell, and let’s get to drinking some questionably magical (but definitely non-poisonous) Apple Spice Matcha Lattes.

The skeletons have clocked in for the season. Both shops are officially dressed for spooky season. 🎃 Plus our fall candles have arrived, including “Scout”, quite possibly the best-selling candle we’ve ever carried! Coffee shop, plant shop, occasional haunted house.

Rittenhouse, your new barista , 18th Street witch, has arrived just in time for spooky season. 🔮

And unlike Rumpelstiltskin, she won’t take something from you if you guess her name…

She’ll gift you something instead.

Guess her name correctly and win 10 FREE DRINK CARDS for you + your coven. ☕️

🪄 Cast your guesses below + tag your coven to join the spell.

Choose wisely, witches. 🧙‍♀️

😈🍋 Our staff has been drinking these for a while, but someone here is brand new to the experience.

Our kitchen started making these “wellness shots” for the staff last year, and enough of the team swears by them that we decided to add them to our grab & go options.

Made in-house daily with fresh ginger, turmeric, lemon, cayenne, honey, salt + black pepper. Add one to your tea or shoot it straight like our baristas.

We’re not making any health promises, but if our newest barista is any indication, it will definitely warm you up from the inside.

Okay but have you tried pumpkin spice + hojicha? 🎃

Your pumpkin spice order doesn’t have to be so predictable. Our house-made pumpkin spice syrup pairs really well with hojicha, a roasted Japanese green tea with a warm, toasty, nutty flavor. You can swap hojicha into any of our lattes for a lower-caffeine alternative to matcha or espresso. Always whisked to order and available hot or iced at both shops.

Signs of fall in Rittenhouse 🍂

We brought back a viral favorite: Korean Corn Milk, topped with a freshly whisked matcha shot. But goes great with any of our lattes or splashed into a cold brew.

Top your cold brew with cold foam in any of our seasonal flavors. This one is our house-made pumpkin spice, featuring real pumpkin purée. The creamy cold foam just melts into your drink for the perfect hint of pumpkin 🥧

Pumpkin, apples, cinnamon, maple…and yes, corn. 👀 We’ve been working on some very fall things.

The full fall menu lands this weekend at both shops, but we’re quietly starting early. Ask your barista what they can brew for you. 🎃

Rittenhouse + Norris Square, we’ll see you soon!
