“Next week, we will be introducing some more sandwiches, bringing in Caribbean roti to the lunch menu,” said Herget. He also has plans for a Caribbean-style sandwich made with bread similar to pita bread but heavily spiced.

Even traditionally gin-based drinks like a Tom Collins receive a touch of rum, and the Cuba Libre features fermented lime. Beer and select wines are also available as well as a full selection of teas from Stumptown.
