We’ve also got some great stuff going on in our cafe this week. We’ve launched a brown-bag lunch special; add on chips and a fountain soda to any sandwich for only $2.50 and take it to go or eat it here. We’re also doing The Great Cinnamon Roll Experiment this month; stop by on the weekend to sample different HOUSE-MADE cinnamon roll flavors as we decided what to feature permanently.
