Gluten Free Cupcake?

Friday, May 6th, 2011

Yeah. You read that right. We wanted to take a moment to remind and let everyone know of our Gluten-Free Cupcake. As a cafe and grocery we understand people have allergies. We also know that being a celiac isn’t easy – hence why we’ve created our Gluten Free Cupcake made with rice flour. It’s made with rice flower, and we think it is nearly an exact copy of our regular cupcake. It’s a dense, but somehow still light cake with warm vanilla flavor and of course topped with our buttercream frosting. There are many sweets and baked goods that those who have to avoid Gluten cannot have. Reward yourself (sans tummy rumble) with an amazingly tasty cupcake: ours!

There were droves of people in most stores, usually too many to get any worthwhile photos. Here are those up to snuf:

The “This is Lakeview” LAMP party

How would you change Lakeview?

A room of information and informing in the old Fianco space

M4 Men was stuffed full of people, could only get a photo outside

Secret reminders
holidaylightsposter Secret supper, Thursday the 19th at 7pm, is fast approaching and there is only about 12 seats left to be filled. The supper is $45 for a four course meal with an optional wine pairing for a bit more.

To reserve your spot: Call 773-665-0100.

Don’t forget to come out a bit early that evening for ‘Southport Lights Up’ from 5-8pm – all of Southport will be turning their holiday lights at 6pm. To get you into the spirit: musicians will play holiday tunes, stores will have great gifts, and some will even have holiday drinks – to make the evening just a bit more jolly.

Yummy pies and more for Thanksgiving
Turkey day is right around the corner and we’re gearing up for our Thanksgiving carry-out menu. For ready-to-eat pies this year we have: Rustic Apple Oatmeal, Maple Pumpkin, or Bourbon Pecan. We also have frozen – just reheat and eat – apple pies, or frozen thaw-and-eat pumpkin pies.

Don’t forget about our wine and candy selection for great hostess gifts – like the new holiday flavors from Truffle Truffle.

Third Thursdays On Southport

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Taverns have Thirsty Thursdays and Radio Stations have Three-For-Thursdays.
Thursdays have always been good for finding cheap booze and Led Zeppelin rock blocks.

Southport Avenue wants in on the sweet Thursday action, so particpating stores
will be running specials until 8PM every Third Thursday of the Month until October.

For July, it means that on this Thursday, July 16th, Southport Avenue will be bursting
with activity as artists and musicians will be scattered on Southport from Belmont to Byron.

Southport Grocery & Cafe will be bustling with rarely seen dinner activity until 8PM.
It’s a great opportunity to try one of those sandwiches you see on the menu during breakfast
but never order because you’re in the mood for eggs.

This Thursday this Turkey Sandwich, could be your dinner.

While we will be offering our regular menu for dinner this Third Thursday, word on the
street is that the Third Thursday in August will be our next Secret Supper…Shhhhhhh.
