Tala Food Features
As of October 9th at Libertyville, and for the entirety of Winnetka’s existence, we’ve had six distinct food items on our menu, each filled with great flavors and good protein.

Grounds For Your Garden
Coffee is one of the most commonly consumed drinks in the world, and it produces the natural byproduct of coffee grounds after making a cup of joe. As a result, coffee drinkers can quickly accumulate lots of grounds, making their garbage bins smell like a freshly brewed pot of coffee. An alternative to coffee-smelling garbage is to sprinkle the old grounds onto your plants instead, because your morning coffee can do much more than just energize you—it can give your garden a boost too.

Maybe next year, we’ll even carve more pumpkins and help break that world record!

Even when she isn’t on shift, Tayah can often be found hanging out at the cafe. If you’re a Highwood regular, you may already know a few things about Tayah. Let’s see if you learn anything new!
