Stop in before the show, and during intermission.<span> </span>Meet our new staff – a friendly bunch of folks who are looking forward to serving you a latte from our espresso bar or glass of wine from our wine list, a bite to eat from our ‘light-fare’ menu, or a tasty treat from our display case. We are proud of our lineup of community-based vendors, including locally roasted <a href="http://www.familyroast.com">NOSSA FAMILIA coffee</a>, <a href="http://www.thejasminepearl.com/">Jasmine Pearl Teas</a> (blended right here in Portland), <a href="http://www.dragonflychai.com/">Dragonfly Chai</a> (brewed in the NE quadrant of the city), delectables from <a href="http://twotartsbakery.com/">Two Tarts Bakery</a> (just down the road from PCS), <a href="http://www.nuvrei.com/">Nuvrei Bakery</a> baked goods, and our own house-baked cookies (including roll-of-the dice cookies for <a href="http://www.pcs.org/guysanddolls"><strong>Guys and Dolls</strong></a>).</p>
<p>The bar will be open before every performance of <a href="http://www.pcs.org/guysanddolls"><strong>Guys and Dolls</strong></a>, and at intermissions, and we will feature <strong>‘The Lady Luck’</strong> cocktail, made from Bathtub Gin (aka Tanqueray), Saucy Cranberry, with a squeeze of Hot Box Lime.</p>
<p><strong>Lose the Line!</strong><span> </span>Pre-order for intermission when you come in for the show, and your food and beverage will be waiting from you as you exit the theater.</p>
<p>And remember – <a href="http://www.pcs.org/armory_cafe/">The Armory Café</a> is open <strong>Tuesdays through Saturdays</strong>, from <strong>10 a.m</strong>.Come in for an espresso!

<p>What are you doing for lunch today?</p>
<p>How about curling up on one of the Armory&#8217;s cozy couches with your <a href="http://www.wweek.com">Willamette Week</a> or your laptop (<strong>we have WiFi</strong>) and enjoy one of these tasty new lunch offerings?</p>
<p>First, a <strong>Greek Salad</strong>, consisting of organic mixed  greens, grape tomatoes, diced cucumbers, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese,  chopped walnuts, with an Oregano/Olive Oil dressing, garnished with Kalamata  olives and pepperoncinis.  Served with Artisan Bread.   $8.00.</p>
<p>Next we have a <strong>Vegetarian Sandwich</strong>: Hummus, avocado,  sliced tomato, sliced cucumber, bell peppers, greens, Havarti Cheese.  Served  with house salad.  $7.</p>
<p>We are now serving <strong><a href="http://www.dragonflychai.com/">Dragonfly Chai</a></strong>-  Locally brewed in NE Portland by David Fischer (a big fan of PCS!). We also  have <strong>Dragonfly Iced Tea</strong> –  Sassafras or Lemongrass (isn’t that fun to say?).  They’re both delicious and  refreshing (and of course, brewed by the same cool  guy!)</p>
<p>Now featuring new cookies!  There  are delightful, jewel-sized delectables from <a href="http://www.twotartsbakery.com/"><strong>Two Tarts Bakery</strong></a> – another local place, run  by the two tarts themselves, Anna Phelps and Elizabeth Beekley.  Varieties will  change from time to time.  A fresh batch will be arriving this afternoon.   Fresh, organic ingredients go into every one of these little  goodies.</p>
<p><strong>Armory  house-baked cookies</strong>: Chocolate Chip, Old-fashioned  sugar, and Oatmeal Raisin.  Baked in our own kitchen, using family recipes and  whole, fresh ingredients.</p>
<p>And finally we have added a <strong>roast beef sandwich</strong> to our menu.  All of  our deli sandwiches are made with <a href="http://www.boarshead.com/"><strong>Boar’s Head Meats</strong></a>, for highest quality, best flavor.</p>
<p>The cafe is open <strong>Monday through Saturday</strong> from <strong>10 am to 6 pm</strong> and offers a full espresso bar. Stop by for a cup of coffee or a quiet lunch away from the office&#8230;we&#8217;d love to see you.</p>
