The new I35 bridge could open as soon as next Tuesday. MNDOT will announce on Monday the opening date of the New I35 Bridge.

Dean and I are really excited about this because this will, again, make it easy for the people in South Minneapolis to get to the cafe. The cafe almost went under last year because of the loss in business following the collapse of the bridge. We will be sending out an eNewsletter on the day of the opening with a 2 for 1 coupon to our eNewsletter subscribers. To sign up! We won’t sell or give out your email….just send you updates and offers.

This Tuesday is the primary election.  Again this year the Wilde Roast Cafe will give you a cookie for just showing us your I VOTED sticker (primary or general election).  No purchase needed.

No…not that decision…your DECISION of the FAB 50. Lavender’s Picks for the best of 2008. Please VOTE Wilde Roast Cafe for Coffee Shop and our Little Joe as Best Barista.

Save Oct. 4th for Bingo A Go Go.  They are moving downtown and amping up the night.  Check out all of the changes at: Bingo A Go Go

Before we opened the cafe I would have never thought that people ate out less in the summer months.  I guess that it is an industry fact.  Maybe people grill more, or leave the cities and head to the cabin.  Last summer killed us with the I35 Bridge falling and being the fact that it was summer.  So, I am excited to welcome back students, teacher, and anyone else who took the summer off.  YES…I love summer…but as a cafe owner I am glad it has come to an end.  I am also excited about the progress of the new I35 bridge.  Dean and Jan are working on some new fall menu items.
