A Gathering Under the Oak Tree

On Thursday, August 30th Painters Hall Cafe & Pringle Creek Community will introduce the first of many monthly community wide events. This month, in honor of the olympics, we are focusing on the importance of fitness and health in our community. The event will include a circuit designed to get people moving, the opportunity to purchase a few healthy snacks, and a short Zumba! demonstration. If you're looking for an opportunity to get a little exercise in, enjoy the outdoors, or even tire your kids out a little then walk, run, bike or otherwise make your way out to Painters Hall Cafe Thursday, August 30th at 5:00pm. We look forward to seeing you under the Oak Tree!

It's Back!

After a long wait our much anticipated espresso machine is set up and ready to go! Our Cuadra espresso machine not only makes excellent espresso but has greatly reduced the amount of energy we consume in search of that much needed morning caffeine boost or that afternoon refresher. Come in today and try one of our many drink offerings, also available iced for the lovely summer afternoons we've been having.

New menu at Painter's Hall!

With summer FINALLY here we are celebrating all of the hard work of our onsite Master Gardener with a seasonally focused menu. Our basil is in full swing inside the Pringle Creek Community Green Houses which allows us to feature it prominently throughout our menu. You'll find it freshly picked in our caprese salad & sandwich, incorporated into our soups, and packed into our homemade pesto. The first of our summer squash is also making an appearance this week in our summer vegetable soup and piled on our vegetable panini. We will continue to use our own Swiss chard, kale and carrots for as long as they keep producing and we're looking forward to our Pringle Creek tomatoes being ready soon!
