New menus have been going out the last several days with the croissants on them!
If you’ve got an old paper menu you keep in your car, ask for a new one next time you roll through to get all the updated flavors/prices/options.
Re-arranged some stuff too, hopefully to make more sense.
Although if you’ve been around the duck a while… you know the menu is a starting point. All the fun comes in the customization, or scrolling through our photos to find combos y’all or we dream up… gettin creative.
Got a dream of a flavor? We’ll work on something. Want to try what we’re testing this week, or be surprised (with or without a little direction)? Just tell us you’d like a surprise, and give us a starting point if you’d like. “I’m feeling coffee, and love White Chocolate.” “I want something refreshing, maybe tropical, but I don’t like coconut.”
We’ve got you. Or call a drink just how you like it and we’ve got you there too. 🤩
HI WE HAVE YOUR LUNCH PLANS
Blake would like you to know it is Wednesday, croissants are fully stocked up, and this tiny pink duck has entered the building.
Perhaps an Alien Attack Lotus and a Buffalo Chicken Croissant are calling your midday name.
Or it could be a Pesto Mozzarella Croissant and a Piña Colada Red Bull Charger.
Ok we can suggest again, a Root Beer Vanilla Espresso Shake might go swell with a Ham and Cheese Croissant.
That’s 3 croissant recommendations. Croissant 🥐 croissant.
BACK. IN. STOCK.
THE BITTEN MACCHIATO
This one, as they say, slaps.
And maybe bites.
Whether you’re Team Jacob or Team Edward (or you go more OG with Lestat or Dracula), the Bitten Macchiato is a flawless choice for your spooky season caffeination needs.
Fanged flavors of English Toffee and Butterscotch bleed through your new favorite marked iced drink.
While the Bitten Macchiato may try to avoid sunshine, preferring a darkness to match its black espresso shots, we’ve perfected enough craftwerk to let it shine in the light just like your pearly whites do.
Velcome.
SAVORY CROISSANTS ARE HERE
A long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new and good White Duck item.
You already know we’ve had (and always will have) our brilliant hot fresh mini donuts… but sometimes a person needs something savory. A fabulous, filling, flaky handful of goodness.
For those moments we present…. SAVORY CROISSANTS.
They are fresh-made from scratch, hot, and quite heavenly. We’re starting with three options:
Ham and Cheese
Pesto and Mozzarella
Buffalo Chicken
They cost $6 each, and they are available RIGHT MEOW at the stand. We think you’ll like them quite a bit.
-
While we’re on the topic of price - we’ve been affected the same as every place by several months of supply shortages and rising prices (sometimes sharply). That includes cups, straws, carriers… a giant chunk of what we stock.
Starting today, we’ve *slightly* raised prices to reflect the continuing environment we’re in. Many items didn’t change at all, and essentially no drink went up more than 20 cents. Affordability is important to us, so this isn’t a decision we take lightly - and the first time we’ve raised prices in almost two years.
We’re proud to keep pretty much everything in stock through this weird time, and be able to continue to pay our crew well - since they’re the best team around. 🤩
Ok enough about that - COME TRY A CROISSANT!
DRINKS UP
Most of the time, we are making drinks very fast in this tiny stand. As the sun travels the sky and the #WhiteDuckWeekends line ebbs and flows, we assemble beverages.
And because there is very little space in this magical stand, when there are many, they wait here. In front of the espresso machine.
The drinks line up in good natured compliance, awaiting their turn to be passed through the window to you. We make sure not to make them *too* early, so your drink is freshly made. We craft your brilliant beverage right before you get to the window, so it’s waiting for you with a grin to match our own.
Happy Sunday - something very exciting tomorrow. 🤩 Bonjour.
#DucksInARow
Ok holy wow, @lindsiozz’s stickers were COMPLETELY SOLD OUT before we got halfway through the month, so we’ve made a rare decision to re-stock!
You already know the famous cast:
Shark Duck
Red Robin Duck
Grim Duck
Sith Duck
They’re all at the stand. $3 each, $5.5 for 2, or $10 for the set of four.
Check out the super-cool behind-the-scenes sketches that led to the stickers, including a couple nifty quackers who did NOT make it to print:
Pooh Duck
Avatar Duckie
and
Ghost Duck
(and a duck with a giant candy corn, and an arctic explorer duck…)
The costumed season is upon us! Grab your limited monthly stickers this weekend when you’re picking up your drinks!
(ALSO SOMETHING EXCITING NEXT WEEK, YAY)
CONGRATS CHRIS AND SAMANTHA
A while ago we said whoever ordered coloring books in September, we’d pick two random winners in October for a free stainless steel tumbler.
CHRIS M AND SAMANTHA S JUST WON
check your messages for a hello from us
Between the Sept beans, donations, and our gold stickers, we were able to donate over $600 to Beat Childhood Cancer! We went ahead and rounded that up to a full thousand. THANK YOU FOR BEING AMAZING! 💛🎗
ALSO LOOK AT ALL OUR COOL MERCH
We’ve got these color changing water bottles (they turn purple when they’re cold!).
And we’ve got schnazzy blue tumblers which fit 24oz of your fav beverage in them.
You can buy these right now at the stand. You will take them home and fill them and come by and fill them and you will laugh wildly (or perhaps with some control) and you will dance.
Promise.
THE MARTIAN MOCHA
From planets far (or just the one next to us), this macchiato style mocha smacks of coconut and caramel.
Marvin would be proud of the alien green white mocha drizzle in the Martian Mocha (in fact, it’s possible this was Marvin’s go-to order as he traveled the galaxy).
Plus, it looks spooky, which is nice for October.
The truth is out there. And so is the Martian Mocha.
See you soon.
You’ve seen the Hocus Pocus, but welcome to its don’t-say-I’m-the-same laughing twin…
THE JOKER.
Flip flopped Y SO SERIOUS color combo of pink over green, with completely different flavors from the Hocus Pocus.
This famous villain hits like a puckery kiwi.
Skip the bat signal tho, cause you’re not gonna want this Joker to leave.
*We cannot confirm if Joaquin Phoenix was seen drinking this White Duck concoction, but in a world where possibility is endless, we just can’t write it off either… or if he’ll back for a second…*
Half full.
Camille had seen all the flavors; the shimmer and the combos and the layers and the hustling bustling artful complexity of the White Duck procession of drinks.
But for Camille, today was a day for simplicity. To find a spot of beauty and rest in the enjoyment of less.
So she said Blackberry and cream.
That is all.
She pulled around and parked in the parking lot. Camille then rolled down the windows and proceeded to listen to an entire album, “front to back” as her dad used to say, while sipping the Blackberry Lotus.
There were things to do, but it was Sunday. She took the back roads home with a little grin and sparkling eyes.
On a Floridian October Saturday, Beatrice had a hankering… for the beach. For the sand, and the horizon of blue water all the way until it was a single horizontal line at the edge of the flat earth (she knew).
And as she journeyed toward that paradise for some weekend relaxation, she knew one thing would make it perfect.
A simple iced latte, from White Duck.
Maybe she’d toss some flavor in there - maybe not. Lately she’d been all about the French Toast flavor, but Beatrice also liked the combo of Shortbread and Macadamia Nut.
She parked, set her drink down, and penned a short poem.
The sun was yellow,
the beach stretched miles.
This White Duck drink
has brought my smile.
In the shadows of the Cascade mountains here glows the heavenly presence of the Candy Corn Shake.
Order this shake with or without caffeine (Lotus) depending on your mood and current energy needs.
Embrace the season. Further the global infatuation with corn, with this candied maize creation which appears stunning when captured via photograph.
Just like there’s no corn in candy corn (well… maybe corn syrup?), this drink is not corn flavored. (Uh… should we do a corn flavored beverage? Haha). Instead, it dazzles and delights with Caramel Cupcake undertones, overtones, semitones, baritones, halftones, and any other available tones.
DRINK UP, CORNY CUP
On July 16, 1993, the world rejoiced as Bette Midler, Kathy Najima, and Sarah Jessica Parker appeared on the silver screen as witches in…
🧙🏽♀️ HOCUS POCUS 🧙🏼♀️
On October 3rd, 2020, your cheeky local coffee drive thru White Duck Espresso released a drink with the same name, featuring apply berry-y flavors and a creepy combo of colors.
AND TODAY WE SHOW YOU THIS PICTURE TO REMIND YOU OF IT’S BEAUTY
Spooktober is occurring. The skeletons are appearing. The Spirit stores are opening. The spooky drinks of yore are calling your name.
Let’s get those fun October drinks again. 🎃
Come say hi, boo. Or say boo! Hi!
THIS DRINK IS CALLED
𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗕𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥
do you like it?
A famous Lotus with tropical kiwi flavors, brought forth in late 2020 and remembered here once more to remind you the SPOOKY SEASON IS UPON US.
Skelly Clarkson returns. The duck grows.
Come by. See you soon.
SOCIAL MEDIAS ARE BACK SO…
EVERYONE, ASHLEY VELLUCCI WAS VOTED RUNNER UP BEST BARISTA IN TAMPA BAY!
SAY NICE THINGS TO HER!
Ashley Vellucci. Vibrant hair. Excellent heart. Skilled maker of drinks. Creator of that Espresso Shake you’ve definitively been recommended when you asked for a surprise Espresso Shake.
She is genuine and smiley and loves to have a conversation with you. Ashley will pick up your shift, and has too many cardboard boxes and candles.
She found out both that she was nominated AND that she won from y’all, the White Duck Flock. Fitting, for a Best Barista winner.
CONGRATS, ASHLEY, YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN A STAR TO US.
In the far away land of New Orleans, four baristas gathered.
Across the vast conference hall they adventured, greeting fellow specialty coffee characters with respect and curiosity.
Their skill renowned, their craft honed, the White Duck crew approached the @lotusenergydrinks booth at #CoffeeExpo2021 steeped in confidence and creativity.
A hush fell across the room. The gentleman at the table (there are some who called him Scott) bowed and exited the barista position with a gracious wave, directing our gallant four to spots they knew well: the drink-making places.
With deft fingers and swift eyes they filled cups with flavors, Lotus, soda… magic. A sharp intake of breath as one by one they placed creations on the table, stepping away with a flourish.
A sip. A smile. A passerby lucky enough to taste one creation would later say it felt as if the ceiling opened and a ray of sunlight alit upon them as the first twinge of flavor hit their pallet.
All eyes upon the taster, who simply said,
“Ah. That slaps.”
SOMETIMES WE GO PLACES
Like right now as a bunch of us ducks are quacking around the @specialtycoffeeassociation #CoffeeExpo2021 in NOLA discovering cool things and hanging with Scott and the gang from @lotusenergydrinks.
And yes of course Whittney just jumped behind the Lotus bar and started mixing up surprise drinks.
WE ARE VERY CAFFEINATED AND LAUGHINATED
But also it’s the #WhiteDuckWeekend so still roll by the stand and say hey so you too can experience joy and brilliant energized beverages.
Huzzah!!!
It’s a beautiful day for FOUR LIMITED EDITION COSTUMED DUCK STICKERS BY @LINDSIOZZ.
It’s also a pretty nice day to say checking @cltampabay today held a nice surprise for us… which we’ll properly announce sometime soon. 😍
And now…
