You guys, some people have said this is one of the BEST STICKERS YET. ⁣
⁣
People have really said that. All over the place. In the streets, at the grocery store, down at the aquarium. ⁣
⁣
And we’ve still got some left, before April stickers come in the first week of April.⁣
⁣
IF YOU HAVEN’T YET… grab one. Or two. We don’t judge. 🤩 ...

Did you know there’s a Facebook group - with almost a thousand members! - called “White Duck Flavor Swap” where people share flavor combos they’ve come up with or enjoyed?!⁣
⁣
Well hot diggety dawg that’s pretty neat.⁣
⁣
It’s not organized by us - all flock-driven. But it’s a humbling and cool thing to see. We adore each and every one of y’all for coming through and making this place one of community, fun, and care. Means a lot to us.⁣
⁣
The vibe of the Duck is something we think about a lot, and put real intention into. It’s especially important to us as we look to open stands 2 and 3 very soon here. ⁣
⁣
We’ve always wanted to make a place where the window’s never closed on ya, where you’re met with a grin (and maybe even a cheesy joke), and where - if you come around a bit - you can feel known. It’s not just coffee and such for us - it’s a vibe. We Care for Others.⁣
⁣
So yeah, happy Sunday you buncha quacks. We’ll try and be cool as cucumbers, but at the core of us we’re doing our darndest to move through the world showing care. Thanks for returning that, too. Y’all are great. ⁣

Today is a good day for a Van Dyke and Dale Mabry update!!!⁣
⁣
Whittney’s stand (!!!) is coming along beautifully, and we’re inching closer to an open date riiiiight around Easter. 🐰🤩⁣
⁣
We’ve hired most of the team, and oh man are they some cool people. It’s exciting to be growing - can’t wait for you to meet everyone.⁣
⁣
THANK YOU to all of you who’ve made it possible for us to be growing, and who come through often to hang with us and get a good drink and snack. ⁣
⁣
we like you 🥹 ...

I WALK A LONELY ROAD⁣
THE ONLY ROAD THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN⁣
….⁣
MY SHADOW’S THE ONLY ONE THAT WALKS BESIDE ME⁣
…..⁣
⁣
wait today’s Green Day, right?!⁣
⁣
🤓⁣
⁣
HAPPY ST PADDY’S DAY YOU LEPRECHAUNS!⁣
⁣
We’ve been wildly planning all the parts of opening our Van Dyke location… it’s fun and also wild. Can’t wait to see you over there soon! ...

Riley has always loved a Leprechaun Macchiato, even as a child.⁣
⁣
The refreshing coolness of a minty white chocolate winner brought a smile and a heartfelt THUMBS UP even back when Riley was 4 or 5 years old, and mom would only let him have a 16oz. ⁣
⁣
Now, Riley gets a 24oz Leprechaun Macchiato and downs the whole thing in 24 seconds flat, then tosses his hair into the wind and laughs in the face of the US 19 stoplights as he always makes it through on yellow. ⁣
⁣
The luck is real. Leprechaun Macchiato. ...

WHATS AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW?!⁣
⁣
a pot o’ gold⁣
⁣
Or in this case… a POT O’ GOLD LOTUS.⁣
⁣
A shimmery orange-limeade flavor, the Pot O’ Gold IS the treasure you traveled for. Refreshing, and golden.⁣
⁣
It’s getting reaaaaal Ides of March in here, folxx. Clovers and pots o gold and leprechauns all over! ⁣
⁣
(Totally not reading all this in an Irish accent). 🤓 ...

The Nutty Irishman⁣
⁣
A latte (or breve if you prefer the creamy richness of half n half instead of whole milk!) perfected by the buttery smooth combo of Irish Cream and Hazelnut.⁣
⁣
The continued march of St Paddy’s inspired drinks… well, it continues. 🍀 ⁣
⁣
There is a legend told amongst the McPadawan families that the Nutty Irishman is the only drink Sir Eann McPadawan himself would imbibe when he needed caffeine.⁣
⁣
Who can tell if that’s true… but it could be… ...

Today is Friday, and Fridays are good days.⁣
⁣
Because Fridays often mean you’re about to get a couple days to yourself. To rest, or explore, or be entertained, or make stuff. ⁣
⁣
Ah, the weekend.⁣
⁣
We’ll be chilling here, stirring up beverages and chatting with you about your plans. Slide on through the line for a Lucky Lotus (complete with Green Honey drizzle). ⁣
⁣
Hey, how you doing? It’s a wild world and we’re all doing our best to care well and be cared for, too. Hope your week has had moments that brought a smile. ...

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT DAY 🤩⁣
⁣
Today is our 3 year anniversary (DOUBLE POINTS ALL DAY!). March 9, 2020, we opened for a half day right as the pandemic began… and tomorrow, the 10th, was our first full day open.⁣
⁣
It’s been a beautiful journey so far. We adore and are grateful for each of y’all, and we are so honored to be a part of this team. This crew is full of truly brilliant people. We are - always - proud to be a part of YOUR lives. ⁣
⁣
These powerful women are our stand managers and their seconds-in-command. Kali and Tierra, here at 3561. Whittney and Kendall, for our new location at Van Dyke and Dale Mabry, opening sometime in early April. ⁣
⁣
And Gabby and Kate, for our THIRD LOCATION which will open at Little and Ridge in early summer this year. Yup, third location, being built from the ground up.⁣
⁣
All 6 of these women are remarkable people, and we are super excited to grow together this year… and beyond. We’ve got plans, flock. THANK YOU for making this possible by loving what we’re up to, and coming by.⁣
⁣
- ⁣
⁣
Side note - it’s double points all day today. We posted earlier this week, and emailed as well; the reward redemption levels are also changing today (for the first time since we opened, other than when we added 32oz).⁣
⁣
It’ll now be 60 points for a free drink up to 24oz, and 75 for a 32oz. Points are still earned the same - every dollar spent (not including taxes or purchasing a gift card) is a point!⁣
⁣

⁣
MUCH LOVE TO YOU ALL!!! ...

The Drunken Irishman⁣
⁣
Slurried with green chocolate drizzle to compliment a cocktail of Irish Cream Bourbon Caramel flavors… this one’s a doozy.⁣
⁣
Perfected by a bit o’ green sprinkle on top of a Caramel Soft Beak… ahh geez. It’s a mid-March mood, the coffee you hoped for.⁣
⁣
Give it a try… or scroll back for bunches of St Paddy’s options. ⁣
⁣
Also… happy International Women’s Day! March is Women’s History Month… and tomorrow we’re posting something wonderful which honors many of the amazing women that make up White Duck. 🤩 ...

In our oven, to warm the donuts, you must first press “Donuts,” and then press “Go Nuts.” Literally on the screen.⁣
⁣
Every. Single. Time. we get your donuts hot and fresh for you. We endure a cheesy joke. OR WE LOVE IT.⁣
⁣
Did you know you can also ask for a surprise in the donuts? We have four flavored sugars we top with, but you can also mix and match them. Or we can toss some sprinkles on your donuts. ⁣
⁣
They’re best enjoyed RIGHT AWAY. If you’re going to drive with them for 15+ minutes, toss them in the microwave for 10-12 seconds and you’re good to go.⁣
⁣
Also, Hayleigh and Ariana say hi. ...

Ashley’s sharing the CLOVER LOTUS, another lucky drink for ya. ⁣
⁣
This one smacks like a Kiwi Limeade, and reminds you of that moment as a kid where you’re foraging through allllllllll those three-leaf clovers and FINALLY find the four leaf one. Like, for real you found it - not when you THOUGHT you saw it but it was just a sneaky 3 leaf. ⁣
⁣
But yeah, Clover Lotus is the thing.⁣
⁣
Also, points are changing, as of this Thursday (the first time we’ve ever changed points, other than we added 32oz when we started carrying that size). ⁣
⁣
60 points will now equal a free 24oz or less, and 75 points will equal a free 32oz. ⁣
⁣
This Thursday is also our THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!, so since we’re changing points we’ll toss ya DOUBLE POINTS ALL DAY THURSDAY. And of course Happy Hour always gets you double points weekdays from 4-6pm. ⁣
⁣
Plus… look for a big announcement Thursday. We think you’ll be happy. Especially those of you north of us. 🤓 ...

Feeling lucky?⁣
⁣
For the third year, we’re bringing back the Lucky Charm Mocha - complete with marshmallow treasures at the top of the rainbow of flavors. ⁣
⁣
And… it’s not quite a pot o’gold… but the Lucky Lotus DOES have a golden shimmer to go with its honey tart flavor. Brilliant green honey driZzle makes it even more perfect.⁣
⁣
Come on by and try either one. Lucky Charm Mocha… Lucky Lotus. ⁣
⁣
Yeah, you’re one lucky duck. ...

It’s Leprechaun Month. 🍀 ⁣
⁣
AND HECK YES WE HAVE A SHAMROCK SHAKE.⁣
⁣
AND HECK YES YOU CAN ORDER IT NOW, and all month long. ⁣
⁣
Lucky you… we also have Raspberry Croissants back. ⁣
⁣
SNACK TIME. ...

“LET US DRINK TEA AND LAUGH IN THE FACE OF THE WIND!”⁣
⁣
The wind will blow, the sun will shine… and we will drink tea and love life. ⁣
⁣
Like the oddly-beautiful combo of Orange and Vanilla Tea with Cream. It has a taste reminiscent of Thai Tea.⁣
⁣
Or a drink loved by many - including a gentleman named Rob - called Rice Pudding. It’s a Chai with Almond Milk, Vanilla, and Cinnamon. Chef’s kiss.⁣
⁣
TEA INFINITY, AND BEYOND! ...

IT’S TIME FOR MARCH STICKERS!⁣
⁣
This month will be our THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY, and we’ve got some of our best stickers yet to celebrate! ⁣
⁣
Created by the brilliant Emanuella Susana (@emanuellapaints) who’s hand-drawn an intricately detailed scene at the stand, complete with individual ducks modeled after each and every barista on the team. IT’S AMAZING.
⁣
The stickers are a little larger than typical, and are available NOW for $3.5; two for $6.⁣
⁣
And here’s one more lovely bit for your first day of March… Chocolate Caramel Croissants are half-off today only, while they last. Just $3! Ask for them warmed up… or grab ‘em at room temperature. ⁣
⁣
Happy March!!! ...

⁣
We’ve got a BUNCH of spots open at Van Dyke, and 3-4 at our OG stand in Holiday. Both Barista and Back of House positions, with lots of possibilities to move up over the next year or two as we grow.⁣
⁣
We’re looking for folks who are chatty, love a good grin, and thrive in a fast-paced busy situation. This place is great, and constant!⁣
⁣
- ⁣
⁣
Pay starts at minimum wage. Tips are over and above that, and we shoot for $15/hr as the minimum with tips. Most baristas make a good amount more! ⁣

401k is also included, and other fun perks.⁣

JOIN US - we’d love to work with you!⁣
⁣
whiteduck.es/join (link in bio, too) ...

The world is full of flavors.⁣
⁣
Variety, adventure, exploration… it is the heart of many, and a soothe to the mundane. ⁣
⁣
We keep 80+ flavors around, and let you mix and match however you’d like to shake up your days. ⁣
⁣
Like this pretty Lotus… Kiwi Coconut, with Coconut Milk. A tropical treat, light and refreshing, energizing, smooth, and lightly creamy.⁣
⁣
Not too shabby for a Monday. 🥝 ...

GROWTH UPDATE!⁣
⁣
Whittney’s stand (just north of Van Dyke and Dale Mabry by the Wendy’s) HAS PAVEMENT. (And yes, this is a SECOND location - we’re not moving from our current stand 🤩).⁣
⁣
No promises… construction is a difficult beast to put dates on… but it’s looking like we’ll be open the beginning of April. (We’ll announce hiring when it’s open - not quite yet!)⁣
⁣
This stand, our second, will be larger than our current stand. It’ll let us go even faster, and we’re thrilled to be able to keep improving White Duck as we grow with you. Hopefully you’ve been noticing the big increases in speed at our current location this year too, as we optimize the way we run stuff, while keeping the quality and service as important as ever.⁣
⁣
WE ARE GRATEFUL to be able to grow White Duck because of you! Thank you for loving what we’re about, and what we make. It’s an honor. 🥰 ...

One day, while we were on our daily walk through the surrounding foliage and fauna of the stand, we noticed these two cuties enjoying a rest among the greenery. ⁣
⁣
A Salted Caramel Espresso Shake, resplendent with Caramel Drizzle, sitting right next to a Peach Mango smoothie. ⁣
⁣
Ah yes, so tropical.⁣
⁣
You know… the smoothies can be ordered with their base as Peach, Mango, Strawberry, Blueberry Pomegranage, Strawberry Banana, or Piña Colada. And then you can add either Lotus (if you want caffeine) or any other flavor syrups too. BRILLIANT.⁣
⁣
And of course, the shakes… 🤩⁣
⁣
It’s fun to go White Duck watching in your local areas too! Keep your eyes out! ...
