It’s finally starting to warm up around here, and we are over the moon! Spring has brought many goodies to the Canteen. Among them we have beautiful green asparagus for our quiche and bright pink rhubarb for pop-tarts!

We are mad about them.
Try them in our savory ramp bread pudding.

See that lovely lady up there? That’s Emma, one of our talented baristas. Emma took her Counter Culture barista certification exam today! Her signature drink was a Goat Milk Mocha with Cherry Extract – coming soon to Smith Canteen!

So proud of you Emma!

You asked. We listened.

The blood orange blondies from Valentine’s Day are now part of the regular lineup at Smith Canteen.

This might be one of our favorite baked goods to date!

Fancy a cup of tea? Here at Smith Canteen (and at Seersucker and Nightingale 9 too) we are huge fans of Rishi teas. We love that their teas are organically grown with a commitment to environmental sustainability and Fair Trade practices. Here at the Canteen we bag our own leaves, and have a variety of teas to choose from. Stop on in for a cup!

“For more than 1,000 years, tea has been the most consumed beverage next to water. Our travels, trade and study are devoted to sustaining the quality and extraordinary benefits of tea so that future generations may also benefit from it. We urge our customers to appreciate loose-leaf tea as though it were a fine wine; to brew it properly, use the proper teaware, and enjoy the experience that each cup brings.”

Sorry if caffeine deprivation set in. All of our repairs and painting are done and we’re open for business. Thanks for being patient!

Closed Today for Early Spring Cleaning!

We know spring is months away, but it’s time for our annual deep clean. We’ll be repainting, polishing and cleaning everything at the Canteen, so that means we’re closed on Monday (Jan. 14th). Sorry for any inconvenience. We will reopen on Tuesday, bright and early. See you then!
