This year Ithaca Coffee Company will be participating in Wizarding Weekend as a stop on the Dark Arts Coffee Crawl. "Featuring four local coffee shops and one unique juice bar, this self guided crawl grants you samples of drinks that will 'bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses.' Each drink is inspired by a different teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts." - Ithaca's Wizarding Weekend Facebook Page

Stop by Ithaca Coffee Company at Gateway Oct. 27th -Oct 30th and try a completely new and uniquely crafted nitro draft cold brew infused with roasted cacao nibs, vanilla bean, rose petals, and ginseng root. Read on for our inspiration….

The formula for this restorative draught was invented by Gilderoy Lockhart during his time as a student at Hogwarts. An exceptional student in all of his studies, young Master Lockhart needed some way to allow him to maintain his focus and excel at the many disciplines for which he is to this day known. Gilderoy devised the draught as a star pupil under the tutelage of Potions Professor Slughorn. This vitalizing and restorative tonic had been lost to history since the unfortunate occurrence in which the professor lost his memory.

Thankfully a reporter for The Daily Prophet, while doing his due diligence in preparation for writing a glowing review of Lockhart's most recent and remarkable tome "Who Am I," stumbled across the formula. The reporter immediately brought it to the attention of Hogwarts' current potions professor in the hopes that the tonic might serve to restore Gilderoy's memory to its former glory. Unfortunately, the draught only offered a delicious beverage, a complement to late night study sessions, but offered nothing that might help restore the great Gilderoy Lockhart's memories.
