Cain's Jawbone has been described as "one of the hardest and most beguiling word puzzles ever published. This club started this summer and has continuted on! So each Friday evening, we're hosting "Friday Night Murder Club" at Espressions. You'll find our 'crime board' as a part of the Potter Common Rooms in the back! Join us for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat as we move the pages around in this great mystery looking for the solution. Come when you can or come each Friday! We'll see you there.

It's time for Second Saturday Flights where we serve themed Coffee Flights all day! This month's theme is Games Inspired by Books! All of Flight offerings are based off of games inspired by books.

We discovered a lot of games we had never heard off which takes a lot because our crew loves games: board games, table-top role play games, and video games! We hope you come into enjoy the flights and maybe discover a new game to play or book to read! We know we've added a few to both columns.
Flights are $17.00++ and include 3 8 oz. drinks and a themed treat. Flights are to be enjoyed in-house. Ordering regular sizes of any of the drinks on the Second Saturday Flights Menu as well!
We hope you join us!
