a very happy talaween
On October 3rd, we brought the spooky vibes to our Highwood café with our annual staff Halloween party! It’s a rare treat for all three of our cafes and the production team to come together, making it the perfect chance to catch up, see familiar faces, and share some laughs. What better way to kick off October than with a little recap of all the fun?
Our amazing catering lead, Makayla, made sure we were well-fed with an assortment of Billy Bricks pizza (shoutout to our neighbors!) and a ton of sweet treats to keep the party going. And because no gathering is complete without a little wholesome fun, we got crafty with mini pumpkin painting! Talk about a perfect throwback to childhood Halloween traditions.
And let’s be real, the pictures speak for themselves—our Tala team sure knows how to rock a good costume! There’s something special about seeing your coworkers and bosses in goofy outfits that just makes the party even better.
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, either. Our staff party was the perfect warm-up for the Pumpkin Fest that weekend, and it definitely got me in the spooky spirit. If you love a good theme as much as I do, you’ll want to swing by Libertyville during Halloween week—we might just get a little festive! Don’t forget to stop by in your best costume and join the fun. Happy Talaween!
