One of the things we decided that we'd like to do at the future, expanded Kavarna is breakfast. We told ourselves that our kitchen was too small, that it wasn't practical, and that the idea needed to wait until we could redesign everything around it. Well, we realized that we were being defeated by our own expectations. We may not have room for a griddle (making pancakes and eggs to order impossible), but there is quite a lot that we can do now. So why not start now? So, that's what we decided two weeks ago.
Starting on Tuesday, September 2nd, Kavarna will open at 7 am with a breakfast menu consisting of a selection of breakfast foods such as Polenta with Poached Eggs, Quiche, Egg Wraps, Savory Scones, Strata, Frittate, Grilled Vegetables, Fruit, Roasted Potatoes, and more. We're excited and we hope that you are too!
While our future goal is to have the most amazing brunch North of Chicago, for the time being, we will be serving breakfast from 7 am to 10 am, Monday through Friday.

Off the heels of being featured in the lede to Friday's story about Kelly Czypinski being hired as the new director of On Broadway comes Sunday's feature on eating vegetarian. Thomas Rozwadowski's story not only features many (accurate!) quotes from Linda, but also has two photos of Kavarna. It was a wonderful thing to spot in the paper on Sunday.
UPDATE: Evidently, publicity is a good thing. Many people were introduced to Kavarna for the first time last week. It kept us on our toes! Thanks for checking us out everyone!

When we first heard that one of our favorite customers, Kelly Czypinski had been hired as the new director of On Broadway, we had trouble containing our excitement. Kelly's a wonderful person, and we think that the board could not have made a better choice in finding a successor to Naletta Burr. You can read about it here. Considering that Kelly managed to work Kavarna into the article, we think that she's off to a great start!
ps. This blog has been a little empty this Summer, we've been in baby-town for the most part. I think I'm ready to resume authorship now.

One of the unforeseen (really, I must slap myself on the forehead for not having foreseen this) consequences of Yikes! Salon moving down the road is that the wireless connection that we shared with them is gone. Don't fret, we are working on restoring our signal. In the meantime, the Broadway District wireless is up and running, so everyone may surf freely!

 We are pleased to announce that we have earned our Travel Green Wisconsin certification. It's one thing to view yourself as a 'Green Business,' but it's another thing to be certified as one. We are now official. The thing that we like best though, is that now that we are certified, we can begin talking about this innovative program and encouraging others to participate. It first came on our radar about a year ago, and since then has been an aide in our travel planning.
We are also pleased to announce that the readers of the Green Bay Press Gazette voted us the third best coffee shop in the region, behind Starbucks and Jo to Go. We think that this is probably more a measure of brand recognition more than anything else, so we're very pleased with the result. Thanks Green Bay!

It's been well over a month since I touched this website, and there's only one good excuse for that... a second child. That's Frida there above doing her characteristic Frida salute. She's nearly a month old now, and we're finally reaching a new state of normality. We're terribly pleased with ourselves, so forgive us if we bore you about it.

We have long felt that billionaire media tycoons should not run countries directly (or indirectly). Though we don't expect to have any impact whatsoever in the Italian general election, we endorse Walter Veltroni.

August 30th, Jeanne Kuhns and Lynn Gudmundsen, 8 pm: Artist and Singer/Songwriter Jeanne Kuhns has recently released a brand new cd, and we're very happy to welcome her back to Kavarna. She'll be joined by violinist Lynn Gudmundsen. She's described on her website like this, "Jeanne Kuhns is a folk/blues singer, songwriter, and a passionate performer who
conveys to her audiences her love of life, women's issues and nature. She has
been influenced by folk, blues, and rock and these threads have been woven into her
music. She carries her poetic lyrics to you with a voice that has a private, intimate
quality, full and deep yet capable of sliding into a clear high falsetto. She breaches
the topics of single motherhood, surviving abuse, and the beauty of the world
around her with awe and humility and humor." Having seen her perform several times, I can only agree. She's an amazing singer, and I'm looking forward to seeing her with Lynn Gudmundsen! Evening begins at 8 pm.
September 20th, Bill and Riki Schulz
