Whatever you're celebrating, here's something for your palette's pleasure.

Earth Day
For today's planet party, take a little time to pay respect to a mammal... the Caribou! If you bring in a your own mug or thermos to a Caribou Coffee, you'll get free fill-up of coffee. Bonus: Moving forward, you'll get 50 cents off any drink, any size, any day when you bring in your own reusable drinkware.

Easter
It's not all eggs and bunny ears. Class up the holiday with treats from Patisserie 46. They've got savories such as applewood-smoked bacon and caramelized onion quiches and smoked ham and rhubarb compote on butter rolls. Plus hot cross buns! Stock up on basket-ready dark chocolate bunnies and hollow dark chocolate eggs filled with wrapped raspberry, mint and passion fruit marshmallows. You can even order an entire basket.

Passover
Not only does Common Roots make fresh whole wheat bagels, they have a full Passover menu. Apple-zucchini latkes or a brie and apple omlet are awesomely un-cardboard sounding. Yum's chocolate dipped coconut macaroons ($2.50 each) are so delish, they should be available year-round. They also offer sandwiches on popovers and a whipped cream covered almond treat.
