on-the-go stop.

You know what time it is: time for another question. 🤩⁣
⁣
“What is the best secret menu item?”🧐⁣
⁣
Unfortunately for you, oh question asker, this is an impossible question, kinda like “what is the largest real number?” Anyway - there’s no accounting for taste. ⁣
⁣
So instead, we’ll give you two that are tried and true faves for a couple of our team members. For Lotus, Frankie is happily sipping on a Pink Starburst. ⁣
⁣
It’s a fruity and creamy concoction that tastes exactly like the candy you know and love. Usually made with coconut milk, but can be substituted with cream if that’s your vibe.⁣
⁣
Then we traverse to the land of Espresso, where Paige beckons you over with the Reese’s Mocha. ⁣
⁣
A delightful mix of chocolate and peanut butter goodness that’ll take you to dessert heaven (if there is one - which probably). ⁣
⁣
Two incredible choices. WOW. ⁣
⁣
If you needed any reassurance, just look at Liv. She’s giving her silent approval from afar. She can be trusted. ⁣
⁣
Have a great day y’all! ...

Duck. Duck. DÉA.

(reminder: free stickers while they last AT THE VAN DYKE LOCATION ONLY TODAY to celebrate two years of being open there!) ...

HAPPY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY VAN DUCK! (Read to the end for free stuff.)

Another year in the bag, and it’s been a wild one. Not a day went by where smiles and laughs weren’t shared, and we’re so grateful for YOU coming by. It has been a real honor to get to know y’all for another year. We love every single one of you.

ALSO, there’s one more thing for us to celebrate:

You might recognize this smile, and you may have seen her running around - MUNIRAH IS BACK!

We are so happy to have Munirah back at Van Duck with her newly arrived little one thriving at home.
She is now a mama duck to TWO little ducklings. How exciting!

AND ONE MORE THING.

To celebrate Van Duck’s two year anniversary, we are giving out exclusive holographic stickers (***from the Van Duck stand only***) to celebrate all day Tuesday (until we run out). Come on by and pick yourself up one on Tuesday the 24th at the Van Duck stand!

THANK YOU so much for an amazing two years, and cheers to many more.

HAPPY 2 YEARS VAN DUCK! ...

You wake up suddenly. A craving hits you like a bus, strong enough that it woke you from your mid-afternoon slumber. Your stomach rumbles louder with each passing second.⁣
⁣
You stumble out of bed, reaching for your car keys. The time is now. You must go. ⁣
⁣
The only thing on your mind is: a cookies and cream inspired sweet treat. Yes… that’s it. That’s exactly what you need. ⁣
⁣
You roll to White Duck and Kate and Leah have you covered: the perfect pairing of Cookies and Cream hot fresh mini donuts with a Cookies and Cream Shake is the pairing you need. (Toss Espresso in that Shake or not - that’s your call.)⁣
⁣
So good.⁣
⁣
LET’S MAKE THIS SUNDAY A GREAT DAY ...

“Any plans on releasing new flavors, I would love a cotton candy flavor.” - a question that came in 🤩⁣
⁣
Boy are you in luck - we have exactly what you’re looking for! ⁣
⁣
The Little Ducks would like to present to you: the Cotton Candy Lotus. ⁣
⁣
A mix of sweet and fruity flavors topped with a layer of coconut milk to give that silky cloud like texture we all know and love. ⁣
⁣
Caffeine paired with flavors of the sweet confectionery sugary treat you love… all in one sip. Ahhhh… what a delight. ⁣
⁣
FLY HIGH FELLOW DUCKS - YOU ARE COOL! 🍬☁️ ...

A storm lingers over the horizon.⁣
⁣
The air is thick with tension. ⁣
⁣
A battle between two baristas. A witness watches from the sidelines to ensure a fair fight. This has been a long time coming, and the final battle is about to commence. ⁣
⁣
BUT WHAT IS THIS? A BETRAYAL?⁣
⁣
The witness has been hit. I repeat the witness has been hit. How cruel. How tragic. ⁣
⁣
This war rages on. Who will win? Only time (and their water supply) will tell. ⁣
⁣
Happy Summer Solstice everyone! IT’S SUMMER IN FLORIDA. ...

“I need a new lotus to obsess over, like the Bomb Pop”

LET`S DIG IN.

We have dozens of options on our secret menu for you to choose from (shhhh they’re a secret). Or of course you can go wild on your own combos, too (Desert Pear Blackberry Cupcake with Cream?)

OK but back to the Bomb Pop... something layered... colorful... feast your eyes on the Euphoria Lotus!

Similar, yet different in all the best ways. Both have comparable fruity and citrusy flavors, with the Euphoria boasting an extra twist to with an added layer of watermelon juice.

Obsession worthy? Yep.

Euphoric even. THE EUPHORIA LOTUS. ...

What kind of music does dad like on Father’s Day?⁣
⁣
POP MUSIC, obviously (hehe, now that’s a good one)⁣
⁣
Alright now back to the real business at hand…DADS, it’s time to celebrate YOU! We are giving away pins tomorrow (until they’re gone) to show how much we appreciate all that you do.⁣
⁣
You dads show up, exemplify strength and vulnerability, and work to be better each day. We see the effort you put into your families every day, and we’re so grateful you’re here. Thank you. ⁣
⁣
So while supplies last, zip on by and grab yourself a super funky fresh Father’s Day pin to show the world how DUCKING AWESOME YOU ARE! ⁣(Zoom in on Laci and her chalk pen mustache to check out the pins 🤩)
⁣
We love you, dads! ...

If there’s one thing we love more than some brilliant beverages it’s YA’LL! ⁣
⁣
We appreciate every one of you so much for allowing us to grow our dream, and for being amazing people. Just one tiny visible way to see that: all these ducks! ⁣
⁣
Each stand has grown an extensive collection over the years, all from YOU. 🤩 Some of you have even travelled the world or made them by hand, which always puts so much gratefulness in our hearts. You’re cool. ⁣
⁣
This photo is just a few of the ducks that have grown to become our favorites at the Lutz stand. ⁣
⁣
Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, every day, for the grave you show, the way you look at the world, and of course for tossing some dollars at us and letting us do our thing too. WE LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU! ❤️🦆 ...

Alright you curious cats (or ducks) let’s grab another question. ⁣
⁣
“Most underrated Lotus / coffee flavor combo?”⁣
⁣
Let’s get curious. We’ve got 80+ flavors to jam out with those tastebuds of yours. ⁣
⁣
If you’re thinking of matching a bit of spice with a touch of sweetness, a Turmeric, Honey, and Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte topped with Cinnamon Dust is right up your alley. ⁣
⁣
OR perhaps a Ginger, Lemon, Lime, Red Raspberry Lotus is more your style?⁣
⁣
Which path is the right one? That’s up to you. ⁣
⁣
So adventure on, fellow adventurers! LET’S TRY SOME STUFF. 💪 ...

We’re moving through all the questions y’all asked, getting to one at a time to dive in.

“Can I do multiple flavors in a drink?”

We highly encourage this! While all of our flavors are fantastic and delicious on their own, a little mix-and-match moment can bring your experience to the next level… or dimension.

Blaze is feeling that power-up flowing through him with two flawless recommendations resting on his shoulders.

Blue Razz, Kiwi, and Desert Pear (down the side) Lotus topped with OJ (on his left)

Toasted Marshmallow, Bourbon Caramel, and Cheesecake Latte with Caramel Drizzle Latte (on his right)

WAHOO! Those are some impressive combos. ...

“Dairy-free options?”⁣
⁣
BOY OH BOY DO WE HAVE PLENTY! ⁣
⁣
While we’ll rock some Whole and Skim milk for you dairy lovers out there all day long, we also have a veritable cornucopia of options for those with specific preferences!⁣
⁣
We have Oat (left drink), Almond (middle drink), and Coconut (right drink) milk available to modify any drink! ⁣
⁣
These can also be used to make blended lattes as well if you’re wanting a more chilled but caffeinated vibe.⁣
⁣
And of course we’ve got alllll our Lotuses, smoothies, and so many other dairy-free items. WE’VE GOT YOU. ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOL! ⁣
⁣
What a cool person. Sol is kind, and constant joy. She collects and grows plants, and is frequently standing balanced on one leg. A regular Mother Earth! ⁣
⁣
If you’ve come by and met Sol, you know she carries warmth and peace even during a busy rush. She is honest and has a keen eye as well. ⁣
⁣
Little Duck has absolutely been a better team for having Sol here, and we’re grateful to be on a team with her. ⁣
⁣
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOL!!! ...

Drip. Drop. Drip. Drop. The pitter patter of rain is all you hear outside your window, snuggled under a mountain of blankets. A sliver of sunlight peaks through your blinds. It was supposed to rain all day, so what is this? A break in the clouds? The sun is barely visible behind a cloud covered sky… and behind it is a brilliant rainbow, splashing the sky with vibrant color. 🤩 GRIN. ⁣
⁣
No matter rains or shine, we’re here for a good time (and a long time, don’t worry folks). ⁣
⁣
If you’re feeling a little color to paint your sky, the Paradise Lotus might just do the trick: a combination of citrus and fruity notes, layered in a delightful palette of colors sure to pop a lil color and brightness into any day. ⁣
⁣
Juju, Kayla, Kato, and Nena are jumping for joy even with rain puddles covering the ground… maybe since they’ve got their own little rainbow in a cup. ⁣
⁣
HOW DID THEY DO THAT? DID THEY TAKE IT FROM THE SKY? ⁣
⁣
The world may never know. ⁣
⁣
THE RAIN IS LEAVING FOR THE WEEKEND, FELLOW DUCKS! 🌈🌧️ ...

Ciao! Buongiorno! Buonasera! It’s time to answer another one of your questions…⁣
⁣
“What is an Italian Soda?”⁣
⁣
To put it simply it’s a make-your-own soda. You can get recipes like our Lotus (but minus the caffeine!), making them KID FRIENDLY too. ⁣
⁣
It’s usually made with carbonated water (or flat water if that’s more your vibe) along with any of the flavors you see on our menu, mix-and-matched to your heart’s content. ⁣
⁣
Whether you go fruity, savory, or floral is up to you! There’s no box to contain your imagination. It’s all customizable.⁣
⁣
Make it shimmer and shine if you’re feeling spunky, and incorporate any of our juices (orange and watermelon) or creams (coconut milk and half and half) if that’s your cup of… Italian Soda. :)⁣
⁣
Italian Sodas are a delightful drink for when you’re looking for something refreshing to sip on during these hot summer days, but don’t need/want the caffeine. ⁣
⁣
SIP. SIP. HOORAY! ...

Ahhhhhh what a day to be outside. ⁣
⁣
The wind whips through your hair. You sit back and take in the moment, but you’re basking in the sunlight and start feeling a bit parched. You wish you had a refreshing beverage to make all your heat-induced worries simmer away…⁣
⁣
Whittney and Vianna seem to be having that same problem, and found the same solution: refreshing cups of sippable goodness. FANTASTIC. THE WORLD CAN FINALLY BE AT PEACE (or at least a little cooler, heh).⁣
⁣
Both the Baja (on the left) and the Mai Tai (on the right) can better your hot days and keep the sweltering heat at bay. You might even roll through with a pal and be as cool as Whitt and Vi. 👏⁣
⁣
STAY HYDRATED Y’ALL! ...

The time has finally come…⁣
⁣
The moment you’ve all been waiting for…⁣
⁣
A new flavor has taken residence in the house of White Duck. Some say she’s a little nutty to be around, but they adore her endearing qualities. ⁣
⁣
Say hello to…PISTACHIO!!!⁣
⁣
Anna and Neesa are bursting at the seams with excitement to welcome a Pistachio Shortbread latte with not only a dark mocha drizzle but a Pistachio beak to top it off. So deliciously SPECTACULAR. ⁣
⁣
Starting RIGHT NOW Pistachio is available at all locations, so put that pedal to the metal and enjoy a little treat that just might KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF (no but keep your socks on while driving, maybe). ...

JUNE STICKERS ARE IN⁣
⁣
This duck is ready for summer, trunks on, hat flipped back, face on point and drink in hand. ⁣
⁣
Our buddy here is STEPS from the beach (or the pool?), caffeinated and fired up. ⁣
⁣
Drawn by digital art creator Tinks, this ain’t a duck you wanna mess with. Or maybe it is. Maybe you’re dangerous. Or maybe a furrowed brow and a square stance doesn’t give you an ounce of pause, and you’re like what’s up, duck, let’s carpe this diem. ⁣
⁣
Grab a sticker and a drink. See you soon, happy June. 🌈 ...
