Café Noir

Everlight Commons - 3.10

Café Noir was like stepping back into the 1920s in some old detective flick. The whole place was a black and white motif with splashes of muted red like color was first being introduced into a black and white world. Soft Jazz music played through the speakers. And it smelled of nothing but brewing coffee.

Sure, they had pastries and fancy smoothies, but it was all about the coffee -- a special blend found across the Faerie Mound. Or at least that's what they said.

Menu

Coffee

The Flatfoot

A straight-laced black coffee with no frills. Bold, bitter, and always watching the door.
— A classic drip brewed with the café’s Velshade bean blend. No cream. No sugar. Just questions.

The Femme Fatale

Dark, rich, and dangerously smooth.
— Espresso kissed with smoked vanilla and a splash of cream, topped with just a hint of cherry foam. Served in a glass cup with a lipstick stain already on it.

The Red Herring

It’s not what you think—but you’ll come back for another look.
— A raspberry mocha with dark chocolate and a swirl of cayenne. Sweet, then spicy. It lingers like doubt.

The Long Goodbye

Served cold. Strong enough to keep you awake through every regret.
— Iced cold brew aged 24 hours in a dark glass jar, poured over a single cube of clear ice. Comes with a chocolate cigarette on the saucer.

The Private Eye

Black, bold, and a little smoky.
— A rich Americano infused with charred oak essence and a hint of bourbon extract (non-alcoholic, unless you’ve got the password).

The Fade to Black

It starts sweet… but don’t expect a happy ending.
— A sweetened condensed milk cortado served with a cocoa dusting and a dark chocolate stir stick. Great for newcomers. Or farewells.

Smoothies

The Blush and Thorn

It flirts with sweetness before the tart sets in.
— A bold blend of Blushberry and ripe strawberries with a squeeze of lemon. Refreshing and sharp, served with a sugared rim.

Moondrop Chill

Cold as moonlight and twice as smooth.
— Moondrop melon blended with cucumber and honeydew, finished with a touch of mint. Light, cooling, and crisp.

Gloamgold Swirl

The taste of a sunset you almost forgot.
— Roasted Gloamfruit purée blended with peach and a splash of orange juice. Creamy and warm with a hint of vanilla.

Bramblekiss

Rich enough to stain your memory.
— Juicy Nightberry blended with blackberry and red grape. Dark and lush with a velvety finish. Served with a twist of citrus peel.

Mirelight Zing

Electric. Unexpected. Still tingling.
— Tart Mirefruit blended with green apple and fresh ginger. A bright, punchy wake-up call with a sparkle of lime.

Pastries

The Velvet Crime

It melts on your tongue and hides the evidence.
— A rich dark chocolate torte layered with Nightberry compote and dusted with black cocoa powder. Topped with a shard of tempered chocolate that cracks like glass.

The Yellow Note

Bright, biting, and impossible to ignore.
— A lemon tart with a shortbread crust and a smooth Mirefruit glaze. Tart enough to make you blink, sweet enough to keep going back.

Whisper Pockets

They look innocent. That’s the trick.
— Flaky hand pies filled with stewed Foxapple and cinnamon, served warm with a sugared top. Best eaten while watching the door.

Pale Hours

Soft, light, gone before you know it.
— Airy Moondrop melon chiffon cake with whipped cream and slivered almonds. Served chilled, dusted in powdered sugar like moonlight.

Red Hand Scone

Sticky fingers tell stories.
— A crumbly scone with swirls of Blushberry jam and white chocolate chips. Glazed lightly with rosewater icing and served warm.

Magic Shots

The Fogcutter

For mornings after nights you can't quite remember.
— Brewed from shredded Driftroot, ginger, and salted elderberry. Relieves hangovers, eases light headaches, and cuts the haze without judging your choices. Best stirred into a dark roast or citrus-based smoothie.

Low Note

You may not feel brave, but you’ll sound like it.
— Distilled Voicebark resin in a honey base. Smooths speech and deepens tone for a few hours. Popular before poetry nights. Drop it into mochas or nut-based drinks.

Shadowslip

The world won’t look away—but it might overlook.
— Infused with Duskcap, black vanilla, and a drop of shadowmelt. Gives a subtle blending effect, like people stop noticing you unless you speak. Works best in cold brews and black teas.

Lucid Bloom

When you need clarity, or at least better guesses.
— A floral, citrusy shot from Glasspetal blossom and orange zest. Heightens focus, good for overthinkers and late-night planners. Pairs well with lemon, cucumber, or melon-based drinks.

Ashlight

Like smoking a memory.
— A charcoal-hued shot made with Cindermint and black tea. Brings a subtle sense of calm and nostalgia. Best in anything chocolate or spiced.
