A truly gorgeous shop with some fun seasonal drinks. I also always love the iced chocolate milk drink, which is a latte made with their housemade chocolate milk!

Red Cat has two locations (one in Pepper Place and one in Parkside) and both are super cozy, comforting vibes. My go-to is the Iced Burmese latte!
