Our First-Ever Heritage Collection Is Here
Our First-Ever Heritage Collection Is Here
Not Just Merch—It’s a Legacy You Can Wear
We’ve served pancakes, potstickers, and warm wontons since 1949—but today, we’re serving something new: Drop 001 of the Northern Cafe Heritage Collection. This is our first foray into wearable storytelling, and every detail is inspired by the history, hustle, and heart that live within our four creaky walls above the lumberyard.
This isn’t just merch. It’s a movement. –> SIGN UP NOW FOR FIRST ACCESS NOW!!
The Story Behind Drop 001
For decades, our guests have walked up the crooked stairs, sat under our slanted ceilings, and shared meals with mismatched cutlery and good company. Some even said, “I wish I could bottle up this place and take it with me.”
Now you can.
Drop 001 is our love letter to the diner culture we grew up in. It’s the coffee pot aroma stitched into a cotton tee. It’s the sunlight on pancakes captured in embroidery. The Heritage Collection is designed for a comfortable fit and feel, so you can enjoy quality fabrics that make every piece easy to wear. It’s what “Where Real Still Matters” looks like in wearable form.
