We had to say goodbye to our beloved mixer Hobie, aka Bertie this weekend. She was born in 1969, refurbished in 1988 and working with us since before Loba Pastry’s conception. My twin and a testament of our care is reflected in this machine, small but powerful, she’s responsible for EVERY SINGLE PASTRY WE HAVE EVER MADE. This Hobart mixed her last batch May 17th and now she will join her sisters in a showroom/museum of antique restaurant equipment. RIP.

In celebration of International Women’s Month, LOBA Pastry + Coffee is organizing a latte pouring tournament to honor the women working all throughout the coffee supply chain. All Buy-In costs and donations will be collected for SANA Program, a mental health and wellness program that provide women coffee farmers with virtual support. Participation for this event is NOT exclusive to women, all are encouraged to join :)

The tournament will be organized in a “Wheel of Portion” format. Contestants will spin the “Wheel of Portion”, determining the vessel and milk being used for their turn. Pours will be judged on contrast, milk usage/waste, and visual clarity.

Competition Rules:
1.) All competitors will be required to use the pitcher provided by the event organizer
2.) All pours must take place at the espresso bar, then be walked over
3.) Want to pour again? Buy a re-pour for an increasing price each round!

Slide by to compete, cheer on your crew, hang to see who wins >:)

Although we stand in solidarity with the people of Minnesota and migrant communities everywhere WE COLLECTIVELY DECIDED TO OPEN TODAY FRIDAY January 30th.
Strikes and shut downs can be effective, we are choosing to be open to continue the dialogue. ICE must stop terrorizing, stope tearing our communities apart! No more killings.
No more using kids as bait.
No more capturing people at work.
No more breaking up families.
No more use of deadly force.
We are donating a portion of our profits to the Illinois Coalition of Immigrant and Refugee Relief https://www.icirr.org/.
If you choose to donate to Minnesota directly you can send your support via https://www.standwithminnesota.com/
