Optional coffee experience at last seating, 16 guests maximum
For the last night of the tour, Muna reunites with her old friend Evrim, co-owner of the James Beard Award–nominated Sub Rosa Bakery. They are cooking together just like they did when they met as philosophy students at Virginia Commonwealth University, long before either of them became a chef or a baker.
The 8pm late seating includes an optional additional experience, Your Future Told —a cardamom black coffee reading limited to 16 guests. Peek at what your fortune may hold and learn how to do so for others if you wish.
