YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY IT COOL WITH US 😉

Look, I get it... we have delicious drinkies like the Sweater Weather Latte, our Orange Blossom Matcha and our new Flaming Lips Mocha.... and y'all are slurping these down....but I know some of you are holding yourself back at the register and pretending you're not someone who just adores a PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE.

WELL, HIDE NO MORE IN YOUR TRUEST IDENTITIES, BECAUSE IT'S BOGO FRIDAY AND IT'S BUY ONE GET ONE PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES (https://smack-dab.square.site/?location=52Z6182KGEJ44&menu=&item=1039 ) . AND BEST SELLERS (https://smack-dab.square.site/?location=52Z6182KGEJ44&menu=&item=547 ) . AND CLASSIC SAMMIES (https://smack-dab.square.site/?location=52Z6182KGEJ44&menu=&item=695 ) !

You could even get TWO PSL and play it off like you're getting one for a friend--but there's no room for shame here at Smack Dab.... not when you need all the room you can get for a Buy One Get One Friday.

And here's the best part about this--there's no Starbucks involved with these PSL! In contrast, SD doesn't union bust, we offer higher than industry standard wages, use locally roasted beans, offer healthcare benefits and more to our staff, and generally don't negatively influence national politics. Now you don't have to choose between your tastebuds and your ethics!

In case you're new here--every Friday we offer a Buy One Get One Deal in which you can buy one and get one FREE from a selection of savory items and drinks that changes each week. If you're ordering online, you have to put two in the cart to receive the discount because you can mix and match.

We also have a weekend-long highlighted cocktail, and this weekend it's the Cajun Marie Louise: Cafe du Monde breve with heeaaavy vanilla syrup and a nip o wh***ey in here. Ooo wee just like MawMaw liked it.

Hope to see you in sooner rather than later... come and stay a while.
xoxo Teeny

GET GRITTY WITH US ON FRIDAY!

Oooo wee is it a gorgeous week to be in Chicago--I realized I've been sending my BOGO Friday emails the morning of, which really isn't helpful if you're trying to plan your day ahead of time (I hear people theoretically do that). So here's the lowdown on tomorrow and the weekend at SD. Roll through and see us, babes--it's always a pleasure to feed you. xoxo Teeny

IT'S A HOLY AND HALDI KIND OF FRIDAY

This is the way the special ends.
Not with a bang, but with a BOGO.

Because it's the first of the month, rent is due, and it's the beginning of spooky season, I wanted to give you a special BOGO Friday today. (To date, I don't think we have EVER put Haldi Doodh (fka Goden Chai) on as a special.)

Today's BOGO deals are the Holy Hoisin (https://smack-dab.square.site/?location=52Z6182KGEJ44&item=856 ) and Haldi Doodh (https://smack-dab.square.site/?location=52Z6182KGEJ44&item=534 ) (fka Golden Chai). Together it's a symphony of flavors (for the price of an open mic.)

Remember, if you're ordering this special online, you have to have TWO qualifying iems in your cart as you can mix and match.

It's LAST CALL for the Holy Hoisin--we brought in a little bit of extra product to make sure we could make enough of them today--so if you love this sammie as much as we do, today is *the day*.

And if you haven't tried it--don't let it be the one that got away: GF hoisin, chili crunch, cheddary egg, hash brown patty on brioche.Vegan/GF options.

Needing some calm in the storm? We've got you, boo. Stop by for a good meal and great company. Hope to see you oh so soon... xoxo Teeny + Crew

THE PORTAL OF FALL

Fall is our annual reminder that the process of dying and going dormant can be filled with beauty...
Now is the time to celebrate the harvest of all that the summer warmth brought, but with full knowledge that we’ve already tipped towards darkness again. It’s a gorgeous, weird and kinda kinky season, no?

In the spirit of the harvest and the celebration of abundance, use the code below to get 15% off today thru Monday!

OUR NEW MASALA CHAI... SWOON

NEW! MASALA CHAI
We're now offering Masala Chai, a traditional black-tea based drink with a concentrate from our friends at Dona. Mixed with oat milk and lightly sweetened, it's incredible. Get it with spiced whipped cream or oat foam....

LOCAL APPLE C***R!
From our farmer friends at Mick Klug, local apple c***r. Get it with spiced whipped cream or oat foam or naked as she came.

CHAI-DER
Now this is a personal favorite. A blend of chai concentrate and local apple c***r, it gives you all the flavors of fall *and* a little boost of caffeine. Get it with spiced whipped cream or oat foam.

Would you eat them all right here?

GREEN EGGS + VEGAN GREEN are the Buy One Get One deals today!

Lately Felix and I have been hitting the Green Eggs + Ham book hard at bedtime. Real talk, those green eggs in the book look unappealing AF--maybe I'm judgy--but our green eggs at Smack Dab are sure to SATISFY. xoxo Teeny

LAST WEEKEND FOR HOLY HOISIN

I'm digging THE HOLY HOISIN big time. I know it's old news at this point, but chili crisp is an amazing addition to your kitchen, especially if you're trying to keep things vegan/GF. (My new fave easy dish is air frying tempeh cubes and tossing it in sesame oil and chili crisp.)

HOLY HOISIN: GF hoisin, chili crunch, cheddary egg, hash brown patty on brioche. It is so damn tasty. Vegetarian already cause duh. Vegan/GF options.

TGI (BOGO) FRIDAY

Our GRITS N CREENS is the Buy One Get One food item today!

Teeny's Take: I love this dish because it has major people appeal--you can get it vegan or veggie, or add a meaty protein, and it's gluten free for everybody. (Can't we all just... grit along?) Also, good grits are hard to find up here in these Yankee states, and while ours aren't super traditional, they're damn tasty...

Grits n Greens, Butter Pecan Lattes, Butter Pecan Coldbrews are our Buy One Get One Specials today. Mix and match any of these to receive the discount, BUT YOU MUST HAVE TWO IN YOUR CART TO QUALIFY!

Another gorgeous day to fill our hearts and bellies with goodness. My boy Felix started kindergarten (!!) yesterday, so I'm oh so mindful of how time seems to slip away. May you be able to stop, slow down and be present today with yourself and/or the ones you love.... xoxoxo Teeny

BOGO BOCADILLAS, BABY

We're teetering on September, and you know what that means--a new sandwich is coming! (Y'all remember the Holy Hoisin? She's baaaaaaaack...)

I'm sad to see August's sandwich go--Get In My Boca-Dilla (https://smack-dab.square.site/?location=52Z6182KGEJ44&item=DXE2EPNCMPCPZFBDZLLB3WUS ) , an homage to Spain winning the world cup.

As a send-off, it's our Buy One Get One Deal today! Salsa verde, smoked paprika garlic aioli, manchego cheese, tortilla español (sous vide herbed potatoes cooked into egg), fresh grated tomato on brioche. QUE RICO! Vegan and GF options available.

GUESS WHO'S BACK, BACK AGAIN?

(BOGO'S back, tell a friend.)

It's Best Sellers, (https://smack-dab.square.site/?location=52Z6182KGEJ44&menu=&item=547 ) Classics (https://smack-dab.square.site/?location=52Z6182KGEJ44&menu=&item=695 ) , Lattes + Lemonades tomorrow for our Buy One, Get One deal!

You may ask yourself: why does this business offer this largely unprofitable deal every Friday? What are they, desperate? In the words of unveiled misogyny: why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free, amiright?

Nope, definitely not right. To get energy to flow in, energy has to flow freely out. Ever heard of tithing? Ever made an offering to the gods? Plus--do you know how sexy it is to engage in all kinds of non-traditional, feminist and animist business practices because you know to your core that your business is mutable, dynamic, resilient, and generous AF? I LOVE GIVING S**T AWAY FOR FREE. I also love charging y'all full price for the same thing every other day. It's about the duality, baby!

It's so damn gratifying to know that we can all revel together in the abundance of what can be. Eating handmade food at half price with a friend, having an extra meal in the fridge, feeling full both tummy-wise and connection-wise... YES! this is the kind of world I want to live in.

So help us continue to build this tasty utopia and swing through!
