Allergens, plainly

Our kitchen and bar handle wheat, milk, eggs, tree nuts (mostly almonds), soy and sesame. We label what goes into each item, but we can't promise anything is free of traces. If you have a serious allergy, please tell the barista before you order and we'll walk you through it.

Gluten: the banana loaf and overnight oats are made without gluten ingredients, in a kitchen that uses wheat flour daily. Dairy: any drink can be made with oat, almond or soy milk, except the hot chocolate.

Skip the line, keep the latte

Order anything on this menu ahead, at any of our three cafes, up to three days out. Your order waits on the shelf with your name on it.
