Muggles Traveling Cafe have been popping up around town and now is going to join with Backroads Bakery on West Sixth Street.
“Christina and I have worked together in the past when I had Holy Crepe. When she decided to resurrect Muggles, I was overjoyed and saw the opportunity to expand drink options in shop, allowing her to have a brick-and-mortar location to build on,” Ralph said. “I mean, what is more magical than cold dirty sodas and cheesecake? The world certainly needs more joy these days.”
All the drinks, from the specialty coffees to the dirty sodas, which they call “magic potions,” have a magical theme of some sort, from wizards and witches to genies and time travelers (think of a certain blue police box).

This summer, she’s adding two “Wicked” themed drinks: “Popular in Pink” and “Green Apple.”
And sugar-free options are available.
