A Little More Halloween Fun
The celebration doesn’t stop here! On actual Halloween, we’re bringing the fun to everyone with our Bowl of Trick-or-Treats available at all our locations. We invite you to join in on the excitement!
Fall Drink Menu 2024
The long-awaited Fall drinks are here! We’ve been having people ask about the Pumpkin Spice Latte since July, so we know that there are some excited folks out there. This year, we have your top-three favorite drinks returning, along with a unique drink for each cafe location!
Summer Drink Menu 2024
Summer is officially here, and so is our summer drink lineup! Now that we have six summer seasons under our belt, we have a lot of favorite drinks to choose from. Customers often ask us earnestly to bring back their favorite drink from previous years, but the problem is everyone has a different favorite. This year we decided to take the guesswork out and get scientific about it with an Instagram poll (nothing screams scientific like social media, right?!).
Spring Drink Menu 2024
In the Chicagoland area, we had almost forgotten it wasn’t already spring, but as of yesterday, the season is official! With the onset of budding flowers, greener grass and longer days comes our long-awaited spring drink launch.
Winter Drink Menu 2024
Saying goodbye to the holiday drinks is made much easier once you get a taste of what the winter drink menu holds. These warm flavors almost make you forget how cold it is. Some of our most intricate and complicated drinks of the year are featured on this menu. The colder indoor energy of the winter seems to invite the tinkering and tweaking for these delicious concoctions you’ll find here. Read about each below and flag the tasty drink for your next visit!
Holiday Drink Menu 2023
The long-awaited holiday season is here, and at Tala we go hard for the holidays… or should I say Tala-days! It has been a hallmark (no pun intended) since the beginning of our company that we celebrate with fun decorations, epic drinks, and an extra measure of holiday spirit. We are blessed all year long to see the connective power of coffee in bringing people together, and this is on display all the more during the holidays. So grab a loved one and meet for for a festive holiday drink at your favorite cafe!
Fall Drink Menu 2023
The heat waves are behind us, school is in session and the flannels and beanies are coming out from wherever they’ve been kept all summer long. It’s the season of changing leaves, bonfires, corn mazes, and, of course, fall drinks at Tala! We have some of your favorite drinks returning and one new addition to the lineup, so make sure you stop in and give each a try!
