Our menus are all about bold, seasonal flavors, using ingredients from the best local farmers, ranchers, and growers—because fresh just hits different. Behind the bar, we’re mixing up garden-to-glass cocktails with house-made syrups and fresh juices, plus a barrel select whiskey program that’s all about the good stuff. Whiskey Cake is where great food and good company always come together.

Ampersand
Ampersand was founded with the purpose of bringing the community together. As our name suggest, we strive not only to provide you with great coffee, but to also help you slow down & connect. From our design, to the music that we play, Ampersand takes pride in being a little different from your normal neighborhood coffee shop. We not only air roast our own beans, but we push coffee to its limits by pairing it up with our favorite spirits.
Most breakfast & brunch restaurants start with the same script: eggs, batter, coffee & a big ol' griddle. We've found scripts are a lot like pancakes, they're best when flipped, so we're always looking to turn the best breakfast classics upside-down & on their side. Stop by for delicious pancakes, french toast, benedicts, breakfast burritos, oatmeal, breakfast sandwiches, bacon & more! From paleo to vegetarian & vegan or dairy free & gluten free friendly, we'll happily accommodate food allergies & diets. We want each morning to feel like your weekend & happy hour rolled into one, so our restaurants feature a full bar with alcoholic beverages. From mimosas to bloody marys, margaritas & local craft beers, we've got cocktails & brews covered!
