The Wilde Roast Cafe will close at 2pm on Christmas Eve and not open until 7am on December 26th.

The hours will not change for New Years.

Meet the newest members of Dean and my family….Donny and Marie. Well, not really…but it was an idea for names for our brother/sister boxer puppies. We went out “just looking” at puppies, on a mission for a brindle girl. Didn’t find the brindle girl…so we got a brindle boy and a fawn girl. We call them Mac and Ruby, they are 13 weeks old.

Meet Mac and Ruby!

One word: WOW!

Derrick, our new dessert chef, is creating something WILDE.  You will need to see the new desserts for yourself…in fact go to a movie at the Heights Theatre (http://www.heightstheater.com/) and come to the cafe after with your ticket stub and get 2 desserts for the price of 1.

NOW SHOWING AT THE HEIGHTS: Sweet Land (this film was locally filmed and produced, I give it 4 out of 4 stars)

Lavender and Wilde Roast Cafe invite you to come in Friday afternoon (not before) and pick up your pass to a special screening of Dream Girls (http://www.dreamgirlsmovie.com/) on December 20th at Block E.
I know you have been waiting for this one like the rest of us, so you better get here Friday!
