We know, we’re sad to see it go…

Thankfully, it’s staying!
While we do not currently have the space to keep this drink on year-round, we hear your enthusiasm and would like to extend this fan favorite for an entire season.🍀😊

If you haven’t tried it yet, check it out! Our Mint Green Thai is a huge hit every March, and has become a signature drink of ours. For longtime fans, we thank you for your excitement that keeps us going, and reminds us of the special community we have built. 🫶

Happy April Fools,

As the year comes to a close, we just want to say thank you.

Thank you for making Gathers part of your life, in all the ways that matter.
For making us your comfort drink, your tradition, your weekly stop.
For the quick visits that turned into routines, and the moments that became memories.

To our new customers and our regulars,
to the ones who brought a friend,
to the ones who made Gathers part of their weekly routine,
and to everyone who said, “let’s go grab Gathers,”
thank you.

One of the most meaningful things to us is knowing that when you think of Gathers, you don’t always come alone.
You bring friends. You bring family. You bring someone new.
Or you grab a drink for someone else, just because.

That’s what we always hoped Gathers would be
not just a place to get a drink,
but a space where a simple drink turns into connection.

We’re grateful for every visit, every kind word, and every memory made here.
Wishing you a beautiful New Year.

Cheers to 6 years of Gathers, and to many more memories together.
– Gathers Team

Our Miso Caramel Corn drink has returned for the remainder of the year.

Announcement: We’re Switching From Square to Toast 🧡

Hi friends! A quick update from the Gathers team.

Last Monday, we officially switched our point-of-sale system from Square to Toast. We shared this in our IG story earlier on, but we know not everyone saw it, so we want to make sure it’s clearly communicated here too.

Why We Switched:

We moved to Toast so we can serve you better. Toast is designed for the Food & Beverage industry, so it gives our team more tools that fit cafés and restaurants much more closely, including:

• Faster, smoother checkout
• Better order accuracy
• Easier drink customizations
• A more reliable workflow for our baristas

This upgrade is meant to make your experience better, especially for our regulars who support us week after week.

IMPORTANT NOTE about our Gift Cards:

If you’ve purchased a gift card or e-gift card in the past, don’t worry - all gift cards were migrated over. However, please bear with us as we work through a few technical issues. Some guests have brought to our attention that they were not able to use their gift cards to pay for their orders in person or online.

We understand how frustrating that can feel. Please know that we will honor the full remaining balance on any existing gift card. We just need some time to figure out why they are not working and find a solution to ensure that you can use them on a future purchase.

Thank you for your patience and kindness during this transition! We appreciate every single one of you as we work through this switch.
