LEAVE US FEEDBACK
We want to hear your feedback – good or bad. We want to hear it all to ensure we provide you with the best experience we can. For the best results tag @WhiteDuckEspresso, or hit us up here.
It is said we are each fully unique, just like everyone else.
If you’ve been through the duck, you’ve heard us ask “fun straw or regular straw?” Perhaps this very barista has spoken the words to you.
But there is another way.
Introducing: the shotgunned latte.
Shotgunning was invented in the Neolithic age, shortly before the invention of the wheel, and close in hand with the inventions of both the aluminum can and college.
When you simply *must* down that 24oz Caramel Apple Butter Iced Latte - but only have seconds to spare - Ashley suggests (or at least has now tried) this modern method.
Be careful the hole is cut such that it full on Gandalfs to any ice cubes “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” You don’t need frozen water rocks tobogganing through your inner neck.
Pew pew, weariness. Hello, caffeination.
DO YOU APPROVE?!
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

AND OUR STICKER IS THE DUCK IN IT’S OWN CHARACTER ah geez, so cute. 🙂
The duck wanted to get in on the holiday fun, and chose the Elf as it’s character. Hope you like the photo the duck chose.
$3 each. Until we run out.
Hooray!
Also… ahhhhhhh this team is so cool. LOOK AT THESE FACES! 🥳🤩
HOLY HOLIDAY PIC
You guys Tierra’s mom took this photo (THANK YOU ITS SO NICE) and there was only one choice on our side:
POST.
THIS.
PICTURE.
So YOU could see it, and feel cozy and holiday-y and maybe even think “I need a cup of coffee.”
Maple Latte with Cinnamon?
Shortbread Toasted Marshmallow Mocha?
Embrace the season. Revel in the nostalgia. Put a wreath on it.
Hey come over, we have drinks.
(And the stickers will be tomorrow, shhh.)
Ok we missed #GivingTuesday but we’re just going to do GIVING DECEMBER SO BOO YAH ONE UPPER ok sorry.
There is a cool family of artists named the Schwagers, of whom both father (Rob, aka @tinybirdpress) and daughter (Cupid aka @cupidschwager) have created White Duck monthly stickers. (The duck on the inner tube, and the super vibrant color pop duck).
Utilizing their giant hearts and impressive creative ability, the Schwager duo designed a Really Cool White Duck 2022 Calendar, and SCREEN PRINTED THEM BY HAND right up the street.
They then hand-signed and numbered each one, featuring original art by Cupid and Rob.
BUT THEN THEY SAID WE ARE DONATING THEM TO Y’ALL IF YOU’LL GIVE 100% OF THE PROCEEDS TO THE @BEATCHILDHOODCANCER FOUNDATION and holy moly we are here for it.
Because we want EVERY ONE of these calendars sold and on a fridge or wall somewhere, we’re offering them to you at half what they should be - just $5 each. 100% of the sale price will go to helping KIDS beat cancer this holiday season. And we’ll add a donation on top of that, cause it’s the spirit of the season.
We love the Schwager family, and are really grateful for their championing a cause we also love and are so connected to through Beat Childhood Cancer.
Bravo, and thank you again.
Now, everyone, come buy a calendar!
CYBER MONDAY GIFT CARD DEAL
aka #FreeMoneyMonday
Today is the day people buy things online for less than they would normally pay.
We like to participate in these reindeer games every once in a winter’s day, so here’s our entry to the hustle and bustle and empty wallet rustle:
For every $25 you spend on gift cards, we’ll send you a separate $5 gift card.
Come by the stand and by a $50 gift card? Within 24 hours we’ll send you a separate $10 gift card.
Visit whiteduck.es/giftcards and buy a $100 gift card? $20 coming back at ya shortly.
For every $25 you gift, you get $5. Giving and getting, combined. Classy.
(Gotta hit that $25 to get it - meaning if you buy a $40 gift card, it’s still only $5 coming to you. At $50, you get $10.)
Buy your gift card online or at the stand! The extra cards will be emailed to you within 24 hours of your purchase. They will NOT be ready at time of sale.
Happy Monday!

HOW COOL ARE BLAKE AND ALEXIS ⛄️🤩
Pick up the Santa Lotus or Santa Red Bull when you’re rolling down the road and in the mood for a brilliant beverage and a hello.
Almost time for our tree to go up, too.
HAPPY ALMOST DECEMBER! It won’t even hit 70° today! ❄️

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 🦃🍁🍽
We are grateful for YOU, every day. Getting close to 2 years here, and it is an absolute daily privilege and pleasure to serve y’all, see y’all, and get to know y’all.
(We’re open 8-2 today, and blasting through the line as quick as we can, grinning the whole way. Please be patient with us, everyone wants drinks for the whole fam - thank you!!!)
It’s been a wild couple years, and y’all help make the strange times great. We laugh, cry, celebrate and mourn with so many of you.
Some of you come by at the same time every day, or every certain day, with the same drink. Stalwart and dedicated, steady and collected. Some of you come through as whirlwinds, getting new surprises every time. Beautifully messy in the adventure of life. We love you all!
May today be a day you dwell in thankfulness, whether you are lonely, surrounded by family/friends, grieving, on top of the world, or a mix of them all. The sun is shining.

Grocery store crowds bah humbugging your Thankfulness? Need a spot of energy to bust through the last minute prep for your mom-in-law coming over tomorrow? Something sweet to help get ready for your brother to (once again) try to explain NFTs to you?
Here is the solution. Caramel Apple Lotus.
It is green, and has caramel, and caffeinated, and tastes good. Like a Caramel Apple pop (yum).
So whether you pronounce it Caramel or Caramel, we’ve got it.
Oh and tomorrow is Thanksgiving. And we’re open 8a - 2p, then we’re turkey trotting off to early dinners and stuffing and sweet potato tots covered in toasted marshmallows.
🍏 🦃
Let the surprises keep on surprising!
Today our two “let’s test some stuff” flavors are ROSE and PRALINE.
Praline’s got Riley and Destany going all Cirque du Soleil in the parking lot over here!
Riley’s holding a Maple Praline Breve Macchiato with Caramel Drizzle. (Well, he’s also holding Destany).
Destany’s flying high with a Vanilla Rose Lotus with a Red Raspberry Coconut Milk Float.
Same as yesterday - Praline and Rose are ONLY here until the bottles run out, as we run through some of the fun options from recent test kitchen madness.
Come give them a try!
(Reminder - we’re open normal hours all week, except Thursday when we’re open 8-2. Bring the fam!)
It’s a holiday week! No school! Wake up later! Stay up later! Catch up on The Great on Hulu! Surprises at White Duck are even more surprising!
Y’all know we love the “I’ll take a surprise” order. We’ve been playing with some new flavors in the testing kitchen, and JUST FOR TODAY we’ve got a couple doozies we’re making surprises or orders with.
First… CARAMEL APPLE BUTTER.
Do we… do we even need to say anything else? It’s perfectly delightful. It’s just plain good. You could practically call it wholesome. Try it in a hot latte, or maybe an Espresso Shake. Yummmmmmm.
Second… TANGERINE.
In the picture we mixed it with Vanilla and Pineapple, and topped with some OJ. Whew. Tastes. So. Good.
If you’re around today come on by and have your surprises be extra surprising!
Happy Monday!!!
FLAVORS CHANGING LIKE THE SEASON
You may have noticed the chill in the air. Or reached for your sweater, only to realize you don’t own one. Or perhaps found your car comes with a heater.
Just like all those changes, we’ve got some changes to tell you about! A flavor we really love is being discontinued by @torani: Late Harvest White Grape.
Which means some of the drinks YOU love may have the tiniest bit of difference in their taste to you. Famous Lotuses like the Dream Lotus, the Mermaid, the Snowberry, and the Watermelon Sour will have minor adjustments to their recipes. We think you’ll love them even more (now with Pear!), but wanted to make sure you know!
We’re also ADDING a new flavor: WILD GRAPE. It’s, well - it’s like grape, but wilder.
And we’ll have some new seasonal flavors coming soon… but more about that later.
Happy Thanksgiving week… tomorrow!
This is a message to tell you our hours for next week.
The message will proceed thusly:
Normal hours. Every day except TurkeyDay aka Thursday, which will be 8a - 2p so you can get your gratefulDay caffeine. 🦃
Here’s a clever list to alleviate your concerns:
M 5-7
Tu 5-7
W 5-7
Th 8-2
F 5-7
Sa 6-7
Su 6-7
Bring your family from out of town. We will wear sweaters if the weather is sweatery, and we will make your drink hot or iced, and we will mention stuffing and cranberries and green bean casserole. Maybe.
Side note: try your sweet potato with marshmallows a little different this year. Do it with sweet potato TOTS. Thank us later. 🥔
Come say hi!
Happy birthday Kali!
Ok, we’re just going to say it: we love Kali.
From the day we opened, Kali has been an integral part of White Duck. She is hilarious, caring, and not afraid to speak her mind clearly.
Kali has taken a mantle of leadership at the duck with grace, and will have her own store soon enough (NO WE WON’T TELL YOU WHERE OR WHEN). Kali leads with a firm kindness.
This place wouldn’t be the same without Kali, and we know all of y’all feel the same.
Cheers to your birthday, Kali! We’re so grateful every day to be on a team with you!
GIFTING SEASON IS UPON US
This is a time of year when you see how many dollars you have, and you trade some of them for things you want, or things people you care for want.
Sometimes you miss the mark, but a White Duck tumbler or gift card almost never misses.
It might be a gift for yourself, which is a very nice thing to do. It might also be a gift for a person you love, or maybe just someone.
Whatever the case - these giftable gifts are here for you, and we will probably grin at you during your purchase.
Seems good, yeah?
SAVORY CROISSANTS OH DANG
Ham and Cheese
Pesto and Mozzarella
Buffalo Chicken
These are the flavors in the beautiful flaky croissants which come hot and so filling you may need to take a break halfway through.
Just ask Destany or Ember or Alexis or Kate… they’ll tell you.
Just the other day, there is a rumor a person who was hungry came by and ordered and ate a croissant, and then wasn’t hungry again for several hours.
We’ve been hearing reports of this exact thing happening for so many people, doctors can’t believe this one trick to shake off your hunger.
#randomdinosaur 🦖 ALSO COME ON WHITE DUCK HAS THE COOLEST CREW AROUND 🦕
HAPPY SUNDAY
here is some lovely art created by our pals at @paintpenspalettes 🥰🤩
Think we actually have Lotuses that can get close to some of these palettes, ha.
Hope your Sunday is going swimmingly (maybe even WITH swimming). Come say hi!
May the wind be at your back and the weight on your shoulders be light.
Happy #WhiteDuckWeekend!
Ah, Gingerbread.
A smorgasbord of seasonal flavors all mixed together… usually ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Maybe sweetened with honey. That’s Gingerbread.
Now of course ours is a flavor syrup… but it’s only here for the holidays, and like Jingle Bells, says sayonara come January.
Here you see Gingerbread in a lovely Yospresso (our frozen-yogurt-based shake). But you could just as easily toss it in an Iced Eggnog Latte, or a standard Iced Latte… or even an Espresso Shake.
So many Gingerbread options. Mix it with Brown Sugar Cinnamon maybe, or get a Gingerbread Hot Chocolate for the kids or non-caffeinated moments.
It’s beginning to look a lot like the holidays. 🤩
It is said we are each fully unique, just like everyone else.
