Our friend at Wake Up Iowa City (a local coffee roaster & maker of Cobra Verde), Jarrett Mitchell, has teamed up with Coralville's Backpocket Brewery to produce the awesome Wake Up Iowa Coffee Stout. Lucky us! Join us for a half-barrel in our cooler that we're saving just for you til the night of the party.
Jarrett, in true entrepreneurial style, has plenty of his patented fun planned for the evening. Join us to try a pint (or two, or three) of this unique and limited-edition beer and hang out for the shenanigans. Also, Jarrett requested we make chili cheese fries that night so be sure to enjoy an order of those!

As you probably already know, sourcing locally-made ingredients is a top priority at Trumpet Blossom so it really makes us happy when a new product is made available that's produced right here in Iowa City. And this one is especially exciting for us because one of the co-owners of the company is a former employee, Ethan Brown, who joined us way back at The Red Avocado shortly after his 17th birthday. We're looking forward to purchasing & working with this locally-made tofu very soon. Please read on to learn more about their venture.

We have a small number of Trumpet Blossom tees for sale too?screen-printed here in Iowa City by White Rabbit!
In addition to our gift certificates and tee-shirts I'm also pleased to offer many of my Grandma's hand-made items for sale. She is the creator of our popular cloth napkins and also the skilled crafter of quilts, handbags, purses, dish cloths, "burp cloths" for babies, and cloth coasters. She lives just over the Mississippi in Illinois and has been sewing for 70 years. Please stop in and take a look at her creations which occupy a special place in my restaurant. And believe me when I say that you can't find a better made product at a better price! There are plenty of seasonal items for sale as well as unique gifts that fit any décor year-round.
