Starting Monday:
weekday snacks, sips + treats for $2–$4.
There is a very specific kind of hunger that happens
somewhere between lunch and dinner.
Too late for breakfast.
Too early for dinner.
Somehow exactly the right time for a cupcake.
So we made Courageous Happy Hour.
Monday through Friday, we’re putting some of our most-loved Courageous staples on special — plus a new savory snack for when frosting is not technically lunch.
ELMHURST • 1–3 PM
OAK PARK • 2–4 PM
MONDAY–FRIDAY
$3 Classic Cupcakes
Pink Velvet, Vanilla Bean + Double Chocolate
$4 Chicken Verde Taco
Our pulled chicken tossed with salsa verde and tucked into a corn tortilla with all the good stuff.
$4 Herbed Home Fries
Our addictive seasoned potatoes.
$2 Bowl O’ Holes
Four donut holes. A tiny bowl of happiness.
$4 Iced Horchata Loca
One of our most popular drinks, because obviously she had to be invited.
$3 Drip Coffee
No complicated coupon.
No secret password.
Just come hungry during Happy Hour.

$1 OFF NEW FALL CONES
THROUGH SUNDAY OCT. 11
Two new fall cones, extended fall hours,
and a little reason to come try them this week.
HAND-CUT • ROASTED • FROZEN • BLENDED TO ORDER
We start with real apples and sweet potatoes, roast them in-house with brown sugar and fall spices, freeze them, then blend them right into your choice of vanilla, coconut or chocolate ice cream.
_______________________________________________________________
🍎 APPLE CINNAMON CRUMBLE 🍎
Roasted spiced apples blended into your ice cream and finished with our homemade buttery oat crumble.
Basically, apple crisp meets an ice cream cone.
_______________________________________________________________
🍠 SWEET POTATO PECAN 🍠
Roasted spiced sweet potato blended into your ice cream and topped with our house-made candied caramel pecans.
Sweet potato pie. In cone form.
No canned filling. No flavored syrups.
Just the good stuff we make ourselves.

Cinnamon sugar or glazed?

A little Courageous tradition
If you’ve ever ordered breakfast or lunch with us, you probably know the drill.
While you wait, we fry up our little donut holes, toss them in cinnamon sugar and pass a few across the counter — on us.
We’ve been doing it since our very first year of brunch. No coupon. No catch. Just a little something sweet while you wait. 🤎
Want more? We thought you might.
Donut holes aren't just for waiting.
Grab them from the bakery case for 75¢ each in:
Cinnamon Sugar • Vanilla Glazed • Chocolate with Vanilla Glaze
Or bring a whole box. 🍩🍩🍩
Our donut holes are available by the box for catering, too — an easy little addition for office breakfasts, meetings, parties, showers or anywhere that could use something sweet.
Breakfast + lunch + free donut holes?
