Every month at Ghini’s French Caffe, you’ll discover a variety of special items! While some months feature more additions than others, there’s always something new to enjoy.

During the month of December, it’s holiday specials galore!

Here are a few of the limited-run bites you need to try before the new year, starting off with the Noel Burger — a burger Chef Coralie Satta, fondly known as Chef Ghini, refers to as “a Christmas present for your mouth.”

So, why not embrace the joy of the holidays by ordering your very own Bûche de Noël?”
