Introducing our NEW Chai!

&&&

Just in time for the Fall Season, we have switched to Black Scottie Chai and are in love with the bold taste with a delicious blend of Spices. Experience the perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors with Black Scottie Chai, a premium chai concentrate made with all natural ingredients. This honey-sweetened chai is delicious all on its own or can be made with espresso if you are an espresso lover.

At The aMPersand, you can try our Chai Latte iced or hot! You can choose almond, oat, or whole milk. You can choose to add an espresso shot for extra flavor and caffeine. Create the perfect Chai for YOU!

Black Scottie Chai believes in giving you the highest quality products they can make, using the best ingredients to give you something they are truly proud of. You can learn more of the heart-warming story behind their name on their website as well!

The next question in our GTKYB series is "What is your theme song?"

When we asked Izzy, she said, "My theme song would be 'The Man of Metropolis Steals our Hearts' by Sufjan Stevens. I love the way it sounds, and I love the way it makes me feel. 'Only a steel man can be a lover' indeed!"

Get to know your barista 💛

&&&

AB is our new Kitchen Tech at The aMPersand! He has been here for almost a month. He is always ready to learn new things and try things he has never done before. Alex is intentional to always say hello and remember your name when you see him. He will always ask you how you are doing with a big smile on his face.

&&&

We asked AB what is something that he has grown in since working at The aMPersand. He told us, “I have learned that even when things mess up, you keep moving forward.”

Thank you, AB, for always being so intentional to ask people how they are doing and make them feel seen and valued. 💛
