When Zucchini Kill Bakery’s Punk N Spice blend was an instant hit! Dear Diary was inspired to recreate its flavor—clove, nutmeg, and maple—to produce the fall latte that would conclude their line-up of October pumpkin drinks. The DD version is a gourmet blend of the aforementioned flavors, plus a splash of carrot juice for color and a spot of black tea for extra punk.

We’re trying a new bonus system that is working really well for T’so Kitchen (thanks for the idea, Angell!) Every quarter, we give our baristas $5.00 for each 5-star Facebook, Google, or Yelp review that mentions them by name.

Dear Diary’s pop-up holiday bazaar is a great destination for holiday shoppers who want to support local business and the Austin economy this year. The pop-up will be open through Christmas, and possibly into the new year. Sixteen artists are selling their work at Dear Diary Coffeehouse as of October 1st, and the shop is continuing to expand its consignment inventory.

Inktober is an annual event where artists challenge themselves to draw every day, every other day, or weekly. The idea is to create a goal for yourself and stick to it! Dear Diary is spicing things up with weekly prizes. All posts submitted in a given week will be entered into that week’s raffle. Week 5 is a little different; we’ll look over all submissions and choose a best-in-show.

This Sunday, September 6th Dear Diary Coffeehouse is hosting a drink and draw event. We’ll all drink our beverages of choice, doodle in our sketchbooks, and chit-chat.

Dear Diary is ordering more art supplies for the shop. The bigger our order, the more access we have to different brands and discounts. You’re invited to hop on our order, and we’ll pass the savings along to you! You’re guaranteed 10% off MSRP across the board, but we’ll try and save you more if we can.

Dear Diary is on a coffee journey! Join us as we try out beans from small roasters across the country, particularly businesses with positive community impact.
