Hot Drink
Lightly Sweetened
Silk Stocking
An infused blend of our black teas and subtle spices marries sweetened condensed milk in this popular drink. Creamy and seductive, it's a pleasant middle ground for those who want a tea with more body. As for the name? Traditionally, the tea was strained through silk stockings -- but we have other uses for ours! If you prefer a specific blend of black tea, you may request it.

Cold Drink
Lightly Sweetened
Pillow Talk
As all delicious things should, our Pillow Talk starts with quite the workout - our Caverna Cafe blend is whipped with sugar into a delightful soft peak meringue which we then carefully lay on top of a cold, rich glass of milk. The result is a silky treat that goes down smooth, but will leave you buzzing in the aftermath. If you find yourself particularly prone to excessive chattering, ask for decaf!

Sweet Treat
Affogato
We'll admit this feels more like dessert than a drink, but you're not here to really follow the conventional rules, are you? Of course not. So treat yourself to a healthy scoop of silky sweet ice cream over which we've poured an espresso shot of our Caverna Cafe blend. We default to vanilla ice cream for this, but you may choose chai spice, chocolate mint, or chocolate. A simple dessert in a cup, truly!

Sweet Treat
The Decadence
Chocolate lovers, rejoice! This sinful beverage is one of our favorites, and is no ordinary hot chocolate. Our master chef blends multiple types of chocolate into milk, and seals it off with a secret blend of spices. The result is a sweet, but not overly so, hot chocolate that we'd prefer to call a drinking chocolate that is perfect to dunk a buttery cookie into. One sip, and you might understand why our Madame calls this 'an orgasm in a cup!'

Charcuterie Board
A requested item that we've given up on keeping to a single season, this board is filled to the brim of delectable cheeses, seasonal sweet fruits, crispy crackers, and sumptuous cured meats and olives. This is not truly a solo endeavor - we provide more than enough for you to share with two others at our smallest of sizes, and we do assist in packing whatever is left for you to take back home to enjoy. For those of our guests who are not fond of meats, we do have boards for you, too!

Pumpkin Spiced Cider
If you don't know already, we have plenty of traditions here at the Red Lantern - one of which is that when fall hits and the leaves go orange, the Madame is allowed one pumpkin spiced item on the menu. This turn, we find our cider has been festive-ized with a pumpkin syrup, some cloves and a cinnamon stick. If you're not a fan of pumpkin, please don't worry - we have our indulgent apple cider available upon request!

Persi'mon Buttons
This very simple drink is a pleasurable thing that proves simplicity can still be the best thing out there. Especially when you're pressin' the buttons of someone who can't stand to look at a persimmon for reasons he won't explain. Anyroad, we've added a healthy dose of our house-made persimmon syrup and lime juice to fresh and bubbly effervescent water for a chilly, sweet and playful treat. We know it's not the usual, but we like being different here.

Cozy Spiced
Avena Caliente
Fall is all about comfortable, cozy and spiced. This drink is all of them, a curious blend of milk, brown sugar, allspice and nutmeg with oatmeal that is well blended to create a drink that can only be likened to the feeling of wrapping up in a soft, warm blanket after a shower - or maybe during a fall rainstorm. We give you a cinnamon stick to stir this with, and highly suggest a few cookies to go alongside while you reminisce on simpler memories.

Honey B. Lovely
Sweet, spicy and here to make the Head of Security happy, we offer this interesting blend of freshly-squeezed navel oranges and sweet honey syrup that have been shaken with a muddle of two slices of jalapeno. Strained and poured into a chilled coupe, we top it with a smidge of ginger beer for a delightful spin of flavors sure to keep your tastebuds turning with a merry tune that gets stuck in your head. Heat, sweet and ready to go on repeat!

Chai Cinnamon Rolls
This sweet roll is stickier than - well, we'll leave that to your imaginations, crumpets. There's a taste of Thavnair with this one, as we've loaded this treat up with chai. Soft and fluffy dough is filled with brown sugar chai filling and rolled up then set into a pan with a layer of brown sugar chai caramel on the bottom. After they're baked, these sticky rolls are frosted with a chai cream cheese frosting.

Tie Me Up Taiyaki
In spite of the name, there are no ties to be found here - and not just in one sense! We give you three of these delightful fish-shaped waffles stuffed to the brim with the Madame's favorite taiyaki flavors; the ever-popular and often found anko (red bean), another featuring anko and our signature thick vanilla custard, and a final one of rum sweet potato. We're sure you'll love every bite!

Single Serve
Cottage Pie
Far be it from us to ignore the plaintive pleas of our precious patrons. We've brought back a favorite for the seasonal shift that brings with it a chill that's not quite winter. Using red wine to deepen the flavors, we're mixing a healthy serving of ground beef with carrots, peas, onion, corn and celery into a luscious gravy, and topping each personal serving with a heaping top of garlic mashed popotoes. You're welcome!

Pearl Milk Tea
Boob-a Tea
A treat within a treat, our pearl milk tea is always made with handmade tapioca pearls crafted in small batches. With a mild black tea base and milk, we stir in a roasted brown sugar syrup and a healthy handful of our handmade boba - which are just a little bit larger than the average, for fun. The result is a sweet, but not overpoweringly so, brown sugar milk tea that is certain to please - and is as lovely to look at as the VIP it is dedicated to, Anhe!

Cider Base
Hot Under The Collar
Obviously, the best way to hide how you get through all the questions about being a father and keeping up with the needs of at least two delectable ladies is by playing coy. This fragrant apple cider has been infused with cranberries, but it is backed by a house made cinnamon-honey that’ll get you grinning at that gorgeous businesswoman - just don’t stare. A drink that'll get you tugging your collar in honor of our favorite father, Rex.

Rizzle-Me-Timbers
We had to sail quite far away to find something that came even a little close to encapsulating this VIP in a drink, but we feel we've managed. In the spirit of the seas, sand and summer fun, we're mixing a delightful blend of our house lemonade with an imported blue cream fizz. The result is a little like you've taken a bite of a blueberry topped lemon meringue pie. We garnish with blueberries, lemons and a hint of mint - and rim the glass in sugar. This one's for you, Rastirah!

The Merry Marid
If ever there was a drink that was likely to make you spill your secrets, you might think it was one full to the brim with booze! Enter the Merry Marid! We've declined the alcohol for an in-house concoction of herbs that is sure to boost your energy - so you can keep going and going... This drink is a pretty blue and citrus-y, and features bubbles. Due to the high energy content, we restrict it to only one per guest, lest you enter into a battle of factoids about the illustrious Marids with our VIP, Elias!

Call for Mercies
You may not make it through one, let alone two of these cookies before calling for mercy! We've packed the chocolate in on these ones, featuring four kinds chopped up and mixed into chocolate batter. These cookies are brownie-rich on the inside and crispy on the outside and best served with a tall glass of milk. The little flecks of sea salt just accentuate the flavor. Oh my mercy, call for these and blame Enzeru for the cavities!

The Giving Tree
Give One, Take One, Trade One.
When pleasant company isn't the only gift we're giving!Through the month of December during our Coffee & Tease events, our guests may utilize our 'Giving Tree' to walk away with a secret present all wrapped up for them! The only rule is that in order to get a gift from the 'Giving Tree,' you must have a gift to trade! Didn't bring a gift? That's alright.Our delightful companions have gifts of their own to give to those that wish to participate but perhaps did not come equipped for the season - you'll still have to trade to win a gift from one of them, but be not afraid!You may tell a secret, a silly joke or even a story to get yourself a gift. You could always keep the gift, or you can trade it to the 'Giving Tree' for a chance at a better gift! There's no limit to the amount of times you can trade.However, you cannot take back a gift from the Tree, so be certain that the gift you trade is something that you truly want to trade. Mind, also, that you may not trade a 'half gift' received from the Tree.[ To participate at the Giving Tree, approach the present holder and wait to be instructed to roll, then /random 20. You'll be presented a 'wrapped' gift. You can choose to trade again or unwrap the gift - once unwrapped, a gift cannot be traded again. You'll have to get a new one from a companion to continue trading! ][ While all attempts have been made to make certain there is a variety available at the Giving Tree, we acknowledge that not every gift is to everyone's taste. We've done our best, and encourage you to trade the gift if it's something you already have or aren't interested in. ]
Cafe Rules, Extra Information & F.A.Q
We are not a minor-friendly venue!
The Red Lantern Society and almost all of the projects that are run - including "Coffee & Tease" - are intended for adults and adults only. We ask that guests - both IC and OOC - are at least eighteen years of age. This includes NPC's. Minors will be asked to leave, as well as any guardian with them.
Respect and Patience, please!
We ask that you be mindful of other guests while you are in our venue; we do encourage our guests to mingle, but we do not condone harassment of our guests or employees. Please respect our staff; we work hard to get to every guest, but are subject to understaffing and not all of our amenities may be available.
No Inappropriate Behavior, please!
The Red Lantern is a brothel and our themes are intended for adults. With that in mind, we expect guests to behave in an adult manner. Please respect that not all of our staff are sex workers and that they are in control of their own person. Please refrain from using our staff for images of a sexual nature without permission from the member in question, and please refrain from explicit conversation in /tell.
No Nudity and No Sex, Please!
During "Coffee & Tease", our staff is hard at work providing entertainment and company for our guests. We do not permit or encourage the personal hire of our companions during these events. Our guests and staff are not permitted to be nude in our open areas; the main house, including the lobby and cafe. In addition, these main spaces are not a place for sexual interactions, not even in /tell or /party. Please dress - and behave - with respect for these rules.
What is "Coffee & Tease"?
"Coffee & Tease" is a cafe event inspired by the real world bikini baristas found in Washington and, more recently, several other states. It's offered as a playful alternative to the simple tavern or bar theme, and our venue allows for some measure of intimacy and growing familiarity in a role-play environment.
Does This Event Offer VIP Credit?
Yes, "Coffee & Tease" is one of our events that offers VIP credit for those who are looking to become a VIP guest. Our VIP program is in place to reward those who are frequently attending our events and are by nature identifiable to the Free Company members. In general, it is not a benefit that is purchased, but rewarded.
Are there VIP-Specific Rewards?
For "Coffee & Tease," we reward our VIP guests most often by commemorating a drink or dessert in their honor to a space on the appropriate part of the menu. In general, if you are present mostly at one event over another, we try to use that event specifically in our thanks. We do also give our VIP's priority at limited-space events, and as of recent, also hold events solely catered to our VIP guests.
