Does It Float? 

Our inspiration came from the classic root beer float—but instead of sticking to tradition, we wanted to ask ourselves the question of: does it float? using our seasonal menu. We tested out which of our drinks could be transformed into creamy, dreamy floats. The result? Unique coffee creations that are as fun to make as they are to drink.

We have five seasonal drink menus every year. Yes that is correct—five, not four.

Stocking Stuffers

For some reason, stockings have always been my favorite part of Christmas. I know for many people stockings are an afterthought, but in our family their the main event. There’s something magical about the myriad of tiny presents—to me it feels like the grand finale at Fourth of July fireworks shows, a rapid fire of epic little treats.

Gesha Cold Brew

We recently launched our first coffee in our Tala Truest line: the Israel Hernandez Gesha from Tolima, Colombia. As much as we’ve been loving it hot, the thought occurred to us to conduct a wild experiment. It came in a stroke of genius—the kind of genius that seems hyperbolic at first—and we quickly realized it might actually work. We made cold brew with the Gesha, a bold move none of us have seen from the specialty industry before. The result? Amazing. So we’re going to share! This limited-edition cold brew will be sold in bottles in our cafe and be available for Neighborly delivery to local customers.
