Fall flavours have officially arrived at the Red River Cafe!

All of us at the Cafe and the Arva Flour Mill have been so excited to bring back some of our favourite flavours of the season! We may have gone a little pumpkin crazy this year!🎃

This fall, we’re featuring our house-made pumpkin spice syrup, available to add to any hot or iced coffee, along with our pumpkin rolled cake filled with cream cheese filling, pumpkin spice scones, and Dutch apple pie scones topped with butterscotch glaze.

We’re also especially excited to be partnering with Crunican Orchards this fall! We’re using their beautiful Gravenstein apples in our Dutch apple pie scones. Crisp, sweet, and perfectly tart, they’re the ideal apple for bringing that classic fall flavour to every bite.

Come enjoy a little taste of fall with us, whether that means pumpkin spice in your coffee, a freshly baked scone, or maybe both! We certainly won’t judge! ☕🍂

We’ll have the grill running from 11:30–1:30, so come by for the best lunch by a dam site!

Sold out for the day, thank you for all the support!
