Current Events and Updates

Flag Day is June 14th

To honor the United States Flag and what it symbolizes, We, The People of NoRa, are renaming NoRa's Community Cup to The Constitution Cup on June 14th.

The Constitution Cup will be available all day June 14th for all sizes for the special price of $1.98 to remind us of what the world's oldest and shortest (just 4,400 words) written Constitution represents.  June 21st will mark the 237th anniversary from when it was ratified by nine of the original thirteen states.  In those 237 years, there have been 27 official versions of the US flag going from 13 stars and 13 stripes to 50 stars and 13 stripes.  We have grown from 4 million citizens to 340 million citizens 

While NoRa's community may only be a very small percentage of the country's population, we are honored to have such a wonderful, diverse, intelligent, creative and engaged group of people consider us their home away from home.  

Thank you all.  We are truly glad you're here!

The First Gentleman and First Lady of NoRa

Due to the continued increase costs that we are experiencing through our vendors and suppliers, NoRa has decided that we must make the following changes to our pricing until the current unusual costs return to normal levels.

You can find more information about these changes on our Pricing Update page.

While almost every item has gone up in price recently from 6% to over 100% including some core ingredients such as coffee beans, NoRa has decided to only focus on one of our most used and highest impacted items - to-go containers.

5 cent temporary surcharge to to-go items

We are implementing a temporary 5 cent surcharge on to-go items to help mitigate the increases to the cups, lids, boxes and other to-go containers.  This charge is only for items asked for in to-go containers and is not added to in-house items.  As a reminder, we now have in-house cups and glasses for all drinks - both hot and cold - with the exception of 20 ounce hot drinks.  NOTE:  This surcharge will be eliminated as soon as our costs for these items returns close to what it had been.

35 cent discount on your order if you bring your own cup for your drink

We are also offering a 35 cent discount on your order if you bring a cup for your drink.  As a way of saying thank-you to those who help reduce the waste of using disposable cups when you want to take your drink with you, we will reduce the overall cost of your order by 35 cents if you use your own cup as part of your order.  

We appreciate your understanding while we implement this temporary surcharge.  NoRa has only raised its core prices twice in our six year history and we didn't want to raise prices now - thus the temporary surcharge.  We do plan on removing the extra surcharge (although we will leave the 35 cent discount for using your own cup) as soon as we can.
