YOU FOUND IT
For those who know. For those who asked. For those who stayed late enough.
"If you have to ask what it costs, you can't afford it.
Just kidding. It's all reasonably priced. We're not monsters."
These items aren't on the public menu for various reasons. Some require rare ingredients. Some require specific moods. Some require Luna to be in a good mood. All require you to ask nicely.
To order: Whisper your request to any staff member. If they nod, you're in.
Triple espresso, meteor-aged whiskey, honey from the last Earth colony, and a single tear of nostalgia (actually crystallized starlight, but the name is better).
⚠️ Limited to one per customer per decade
📖 Named after Luna's freight captain days
Black as space. Cold as the outer rim. Contains absolutely nothing but pure caffeinated darkness and existential dread. Served in a mug that says "I'm Fine."
☕ Maximum darkness. Minimum sweetness.
🖤 Popular with freight pilots and philosophers
Tell Pippa your happiest memory. She'll craft a latte that tastes like that moment. Results vary. Tears are complimentary.
💫 Requires 10-minute consultation with Pippa
🧁 Comes with a Memory Cupcake on request
Coffee from the Infinite Coffee Pot. Your cup will never empty. We don't know how. Raxel doesn't remember building it. Just... accept the gift.
♾️ Thermodynamics may not apply
⚗️ Raxel will deny responsibility
A single slice from Luna's legendary Founder's Reserve Cake. Made twice per year. Contains ingredients from six star systems. The recipe requires three keys to unlock.
👑 Luna personally approves each recipient
🔐 If you're offered a slice, you've earned it
Baked in Raxel's variable gravity oven during a 0.3g phase. So light it actually floats slightly above the plate. Must be eaten quickly before physics remembers its laws.
🌀 May cause mild vertigo in sensitive beings
⏱️ 2-minute consumption window
Given to anyone Pippa senses has been through genuine hardship. Contains a flavor she calls "forgiveness." Nobody knows how she knows. She just does.
💝 You cannot ask for this. It finds you.
✨ "Consider it an apology from the universe"
Sugar crystals grown only during station "night" when the asteroid passes behind Minos's shadow. Each crystal contains captured darkness. Tastes like peaceful silence.

😴 May induce peaceful drowsiness
These items exist but should not be ordered under normal circumstances.
Whatever Grath drinks. Nobody knows what's in it. It dissolves spoons. He makes it himself.
STATUS: Belter-Born physiology only
The exact cappuccino Luna made during her stranding. Same beans, same technique, same broken coffee maker. Made once per decade.
STATUS: Founder's Week exclusive
Raxel's latest experiment. Effects unknown. Color varies. May or may not cause temporary synesthesia.
STATUS: Consume at your own risk
Approach the counter when it's not busy. Rushed staff cannot process secret orders.
Make eye contact with a crew member. They'll know.
State your order by name, quietly. If others hear, you've failed the test.
If the crew member nods, you'll receive your order. If they shake their head, that item isn't available right now. Don't argue.
Payment is handled... differently. Trust the process.
Never photograph secret menu items. The mystery is the point.
The secret menu changes. Items come and go.
What you see today may be gone tomorrow.
"The secret ingredient is never a secret. It's attention."
