Local hype post: there is an apothecary cafe opening in so I thought my Madison people may be interested
Hey Everyone, it’s Rachel (witch_wandering_woods) I’ve been quiet about all of this and making moves in silence and it’s finally starting to feel real, so here we go!
Surprise! I’m opening my own cafe! It’s called The Witching Hour, and it’s an apothecary cafe where I will be serving seasonal drinks with all my handmade syrups and locally grown fruits and herbs!
What is an apothecary cafe you ask? I made it up! It’s your window into something different. It’s handmade, handpicked, handground mortar and pestle magic. I’m here to be your local, old world, medicine woman and herb dealer to treat your ails, in drink form!
I will have all of my dehydrated herbs, fruits, flowers, and roots in jars, ready to be added to any drink if you so choose or to create a custom blend for you to take home!
Got a cold? Add elderberries and echinacea to your drink!
Have a headache? Add in passion flower and peppermint to your tea!
Cutting back on sugar? Add any dehydrated fruit I’ve got on my shelf to your pour over for flavor and natural sugars!
Want to go somewhere cute with the girlies at night that isn’t a bar?
I got you! I’ll be open at night with indoor and outdoor seating by the river, serving up mocktails and THCA drinks!
Want to sit in a comfy chair and read a book surrounded by vintage lamps and weird art? The “Zen Den” is waiting for you!
I also plan to do events like traditional english high tea and themed moon to table dinner parties 🥰❤️
It’s witchy, it’s weird, it’s artistic, it’s local, IT’S ME!
I still have a lot to do before I’m fully open, but the very first preview night will be in ONE WEEK!
On Saturday May 30th from 6-9pm The Witching Hour will be open for Baraboo Vintage and Seek Boutique’s Touch, Tea, Tarot event.
Stop in for a cup of tea, or my special “Blue Moon Magic” mocktail in honor of May’s second full moon also known as a blue moon ✨🌕✨
So yeah, come and see what I’ve been working on so hard these last few months 🥰🙏🖤
