There’s just something about that first peppermint sip in December, isn’t there? One taste and suddenly you’re back in those childhood moments—decorating the tree, laughing around the fireplace, or remembering a holiday gathering that still makes you smile.
At Zeb’s, we hold onto that feeling. The holidays aren’t just dates on a calendar… they’re warmth, comfort, and memories-in-the-making. And this year’s Christmas menu? It’s built to bring all of that straight to your table.
The Story Behind Holiday Flavors
Ever wonder why certain flavors feel like Christmas?
Peppermint didn’t start off as the star of the season. It really took off in the early 1900s when candy canes were mass-produced and hung on Christmas trees. And gingerbread? That goes way back—monks in medieval Europe baked spiced cookies for special occasions.
So when you sip a peppermint mocha or taste something gingerbread-y, you’re not just having a drink… you’re tasting a little piece of history.
Festive Drinks to Lift Your Holiday Spirit
Peppermint Bark Mocha
Rich chocolate. Cool peppermint. Velvety espresso. Topped with whipped cream and candy cane crunch.
It’s the kind of drink that makes you pause on the first sip. Warm chocolate sweetness meets that bright peppermint sparkle—like a well-earned treat after wrapping gifts with cold fingers.
Gingerbread Latte
Our housemade gingerbread syrup (yes, we make it ourselves!) swirled with espresso and steamed milk.
Cinnamon comes first, then a little ginger warmth, then nutmeg tying everything together. The aroma alone stops people mid-sentence. If Christmas had a scent, this would be it.
If you want to peek behind the scenes of our syrups, we’ve got a whole blog about it waiting for you.
Candy Cane Frappe
When you want something festive and refreshing.
This frosty peppermint blend topped with whipped cream and crunchy candy cane pieces is pure holiday joy. Think: that first candy cane of the season… but blended into a drinkable treat.
The Grinch
Matcha + peppermint + vanilla = a drink that’s equal parts cozy and playful.
It’s bright green (obviously), but the flavor surprises people—in the best way. If you love Christmas but don’t necessarily want “the usual,” this one’s for you.
Peppermint Hot Cocoa
Real chocolate (never powder). Fluffy whipped cream. A little candy cane sparkle on top.
This is the drink you curl up with when the snow starts falling or when you just need a moment to breathe. It’s comfort you can hold in your hands.
Mint Fog
Rainier mint tea, honey, vanilla, and steamed milk.
Soft. Calming. Cozy. Perfect for those quieter holiday moments—when you finally sit down after baking cookies or when the house is still and peaceful.
Your Holiday Coffee Ritual
One of the best ways to savor the season: slow down just a little.
Grab your favorite holiday drink, settle into a window seat, and give yourself ten uninterrupted minutes. Let the steam rise. Watch people bustle around outside. Let your shoulders drop. Tiny rituals like that? They’re what you remember later.
Heartwarming Lunch Favorites
Kathy's Famous Chili
Hearty, slow-simmered, layered with flavor, topped with melted cheddar jack cheese.
It’s become a tradition around here—strangers sharing tables, talking about weekend plans, catching up between bites. Warm food has a way of bringing people together.
Fire-Roasted Tomato Soup
Smooth, smoky tomato soup with creamy coconut milk, basil, and garlic. Finished with shredded parmesan.
Fire-roasting adds a depth you just can’t get any other way. Pair it with a grilled cheese, turkey pesto, or California chicken panini, and suddenly an ordinary weekday feels a little more special.

Where Holiday Moments Happen
Every year we hear stories that remind us why we love what we do:
A customer who writes Christmas cards here every year with a Gingerbread Latte.A group of college friends who meet for their “chili lunch tradition” when they’re home for break.A dad and daughter who stop in for cocoa before driving around to look at Christmas lights.
These aren’t grand or perfect moments—they’re real ones. And they’re the ones that stick.
