Our new mascot for the season loves showing our new blue shirts we have for sale. But we need your help naming them! So the name that gets the most likes by Monday 8am not only wins naming rights but a free coffee drink! (If you want a free coffee, you get one with any shirt or bagged coffee purchase!)

It’s cold outside. So warm up at The Lost Hours with a coffee and pastry!

If I didn’t “gnome” better, I’d say our ❤️ mocha with ruby chocolate is here for a limited time. Come on down and try one while it’s still here!
