Welcome to the Daisy Cafe & Cupcakery!

New Menu Items at the Daisy

We have many new items on our menus, including a great extension of our Gluten-Free offerings!
Changes to our Lunch menu:

• All of our "Salad Salad/Sandwiches"--Caprese Egg Salad, Tuscan Tuna Salad and the NEW Salmon & Greens Salad--come served a bed of spring mix lettuce, as gluten-free options. (A grilled ciabatta roll, or any other bread option, is available on request.)
• We've updated our steak salad to a Southwest Steak Salad. Grilled marinated steak served on a bed of spring mix lettuce with roasted corn, pico de gallo, chopped bacon, pepper jack and Cheddar cheeses, house-made tortilla strips and sour cream, served with Orange-Shallot vinaigrette.

NEW to the Dinner menu:

• All of our pastas--Salmon in Lemon-Garlic Sauce, Pork & Bacon Ragu, and Daisy Pesto & Vegetable--are now available with gluten-free pasta from our friends and neighbors at RP's Pasta!
• Steak with Cabernet-Bacon-Mushroom Sauce. A full-flavored sauce made with Cupcake Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon!
• Chicken with Spinach & Prosciutto. Topped with Parmesan and Asiago cheeses and a lighter sauce made with Cupcake Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon!
• Pork Tenderloin with Porter-BBQ Sauce. Made with Ale Asylum Contorter Porter!

Introducing Our June "Sounds of Summer" Deluxe Cupcakes! 

Cupcake flavors inspired by modern music genres.

• FOLK -- All natural, wholesome, this is Chocolate-Oat Bran cake with Strawberry filling and Honey buttercream frosting, topped with a slice of Strawberry and our own house-made Granola.
  
• ROCK & ROLL -- Inspired by down-home rock bars and bar snacks, this is Pabst Blue Ribbon Cake with Salted Caramel filling and Peanut Butter buttercream frosting, topped with Pretzels and Peanuts and colored Sugar. (The red and blue colored sugar represents both the PBR label and the American flag.)
• ELECTRONICA -- From early '70s Roxy Music to '80s Kraftwerk to today's Daft Punk, electronica has been innovative, energetic and sparkly. This is Lemon cake with Lime Curd filling and layers of Raspberry and Lime buttercream frosting, topped with Pop Rocks and colored Sugar.
• REGGAE -- Flavors and design concepts from Jamaica, of course! This is Chocolate-Guinness cake with Pomegranate buttercream filling and Red Stripe buttercream frosting, with distinctive Jamaican designs (wink).
  
• THE BLUES -- We thought of smoky Memphis bars and came up with Sweet Potato cake with Chocolate-BBQ Sauce-Bacon filling and American Whiskey buttercream frosting, topped with Bacon and a drizzle of BBQ Sauce. (Gluten-Free!)
  
• COUNTRY & WESTERN -- Classic Southern flavors, with SoCo! Pecan-Shortbread with spiced Peach filling and Southern Comfort buttercream frosting, topped with Candied Pecan.
