Society 57

06/12/2026

Spring showed up a little differently this year - and we’re not mad about it. Everything’s still made in-house, same care, same intention. Just a bit more playful.

Our Strawberry Matcha will be sticking around for the summer, but it is almost time to say goodbye to the Cookie Butter, Carrot Cake and Pistachio Blackberry Basil lattes. Get them this weekend while they are still here!

The Cookie Butter Latte.

Housemade syrup with browned butter, fresh nutmeg, ginger, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

Hot, it’s warm and spiced.
Iced, it’s topped with our cookie butter cold foam—smooth, rich, and hard to beat.

It’s a good one.

Here for the season.

Not everything has to be a latte.

This one leans citrusy, herbal, and refreshing - orange, thyme, ginger, clove, tonic, and espresso.

A little different. A lot better than you’d expect.

(And if coffee’s not your thing, try it with matcha 🍃)

Have you tried our Carrot Cake Latte?

Housemade syrup with carrot, ginger, cinnamon, orange zest, and brown sugar.

Finished with fresh orange on top - the aromatics are kind of the whole thing.

Hot or iced. Doesn’t miss.

Here for the season.

A familiar one, reworked.

Our strawberry matcha is back this spring season - with a new layer of housemade strawberry foam, built from fresh berries, as always.

It adds a little more texture, a little more depth, while still letting the matcha do its thing.

If you’ve had it before, it’s worth another try.

Pistachio. Blackberry. Basil.

It sounds like a lot. It’s not.

Nutty, lightly sweet, and more subtle than you’d expect - this one’s quietly become a favorite.

Hot, iced, or even as a matcha.

Curious what you think.

Mami is a Japanese multidisciplinary artist whose work explores memory, language, and cultural continuity through acts of repair. Through Kintsugi, she invites participants into a process that is both technical and deeply reflective.

Rather than hiding what’s broken, the practice highlights it - honoring history, imperfection, and transformation.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the full process and leave with your own restored piece.

A rare opportunity to learn directly from the artist.

Space is limited. Use link in bio or comments to register.
