The newest summertime refreshments to join the HC menu ☀️

House-Made Cola: We’ve reimagined the classic soda fountain cola using clean, simple ingredients. Our scratch-made version balances bright citrus notes with a deep blend of warm botanicals and spices. It’s a cleaner, more complex cola experience that shines on its own, and the ultimate upgrade for adults looking to pair it with a premium spirit.

Sour Cherry Soda: A little nostalgia in a glass. 🍒✨ Our newest summer mocktail brings back all the memories of ordering a classic Shirley Temple, but with a fresh, tart twist. Made with real sour cherries, it’s a bubbly, refreshing treat the kids will love—and the perfect canvas for adults looking to spike their soda.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Peach Betty: Meet the Betty. A comforting cross between a fruit crisp and bread pudding. While traditional recipes utilize fruit layered with bread crumbs, we elevate ours with house-toasted white cake and tender, gently poached peaches. Baked until bubbling and golden, it’s served warm and finished with a scoop of premium Lopez Island vanilla ice cream.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Momma’s Chocolate Layer Cake:

We heard you loud and clear and we're happy to announce she’s back on the menu! 🍫🍒. This nostalgic dessert features three layers of moist, tender chocolate cake filled and frosted with a rich, scratch-made cocoa buttercream. It’s served alongside a glossy compote of Washington Bing cherries, slowly simmered with star anise and a bold red wine. Brittany was inspired by her own mom’s favorite things when creating this dish: fudgy cake, local cherries, and a great glass of red. Generously sized and perfect for sharing, it’s a sweet reminder of the joy a big slice of cake brings to life.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
