It’s back, one last time 🍿

Our Miso Caramel Corn drink has returned for the remainder of the year.
If you missed out over Thanksgiving, this is it. Corn silk tea paired with our housemade miso caramel and finished with a caramel drizzle for a perfectly umami-sweet, savory sip.

Available Friday, 12/19 through the end of the year or while supplies last.

Our Kinako Cream is back.

A winter crowd favorite, and you have been asking for it since last season. So we brought it back.

A choice of hojicha, matcha, or brown sugar milk base, topped with our toasty kinako cream, and finished with crispy genmai.

Available as:
• Hojicha Latte + Kinako Cream
• Matcha Latte + Kinako Cream
• Brown Sugar Milk + Kinako Cream

Limited winter seasonal. Starts today (Dec 1).

(Allergen note: contains soy.)

Announcement: We’re Switching From Square to Toast 🧡

Hi friends! A quick update from the Gathers team.

Last Monday, we officially switched our point-of-sale system from Square to Toast. We shared this in our IG story earlier on, but we know not everyone saw it, so we want to make sure it’s clearly communicated here too.

Why We Switched:

We moved to Toast so we can serve you better. Toast is designed for the Food & Beverage industry, so it gives our team more tools that fit cafés and restaurants much more closely, including:

• Faster, smoother checkout
• Better order accuracy
• Easier drink customizations
• A more reliable workflow for our baristas

This upgrade is meant to make your experience better, especially for our regulars who support us week after week.

IMPORTANT NOTE about our Gift Cards:

If you’ve purchased a gift card or e-gift card in the past, don’t worry - all gift cards were migrated over. However, please bear with us as we work through a few technical issues. Some guests have brought to our attention that they were not able to use their gift cards to pay for their orders in person or online.

We understand how frustrating that can feel. Please know that we will honor the full remaining balance on any existing gift card. We just need some time to figure out why they are not working and find a solution to ensure that you can use them on a future purchase.

Thank you for your patience and kindness during this transition! We appreciate every single one of you as we work through this switch.
