The Washington Street Farmers’ Market is BACK on Saturday mornings! Through the end of October, make your way downtown every Saturday morning, 7am-12pm, to enjoy live music, stock up on local produce, and of course grab a delicious drink from the Attic!
Total Eclipse of the Latte
ONE DAY ONLY! Celebrate the total solar eclipse on Monday, August 21, with a special Corona Latte from the Attic! Topped with a brownie batter cookie, this 16oz. chocolate-almond latte with just a hint of blackberry looks like a mini moon surrounded by a foamy corona. Starburst candies on the side (the sun IS, after all, a star!) serve as a sweet, brightly-wrapped reminder than the sun will return soon!
Fresh Salads
We’re trying something NEW at the Attic: market-fresh salads! Made with a variety of local produce from the Saturday Morning Farmers’ Market, these salads are a delicious lunch or dinner option for a hot summer day.
