Seeds Library Cafe Opening Tomorrow

As a librarian who loves local food, there's nothing better to me than the confluence of the Boulder Farmers' Market and the Boulder Public Library in launching Seeds Library Cafe at the library. You'll be able to check it out starting tomorrow morning, enjoy the library, and support local vendors in the process! Here's what the Farmers' Market says:

Seeds Library Cafe Opening Mon. April 27 Opening in the Main Boulder Public Library at 9am

As the final pieces are being drilled in and the baristas perfect their espresso skills, we are thrilled to be approaching opening day.  Elyse Wood, program coordinator for Seeds, said, "Seeds is a unique collaboration between Boulder's Library and its farmers. We want it to be a venue to help the community connect more with its food and drink through educational programs." Seeds has committed to spending 75 percent of its food costs with local vendors, including Aspen Moon Farm, Breadworks Bakery, Ollin Farms, Ela Family Farms, and Oxford Gardens. Sample menu items include the Market Beet Salad and Grilled Cheese Pesto Panini. The "Sprouts Menu" for the kids will feature a Pancake Pocket and Little Dippers, which are vegetable sticks and bread bites served with house-made hummus. Seeds Library Cafe will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon. through Thurs., 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fri. and Sat., and 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sun. Follow Seeds on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for updates: @seedsboulder.

Seeds Cafe Getting Closer

As previously reported, the new cafe under construction at the Boulder Public Library is to be operated by the Boulder Farmers' Market, and therefore so appropriately to be named Seeds Library Cafe, the fortunate winner by public vote. They are looking to open sometime next month, and sponsored a kids' taste test focus group recently to ensure their farm-fresh offerings are also kid-friendly. How great a confluence is it when farmers' market meets library??? Here's the news from the Farmers' Market:

SEEDS LIBRARY CAFE UPDATE

Construction has started on the bridge of the Boulder Public Library, and we're so excited to watch the cafe space come to life in the next few weeks. Seeds has a brand-spankin'-new logo, designed by Anthem Branding in Boulder.  The Seeds team hosted a kids menu tasting in the library yesterday and got some wonderful feedback from community members and library patrons.  Seeds  will be participating in the Boulder Public Library's celebration weekend on Saturday, April 11, when they will show off the library's new renovations, including the cafe. You can stop by the bridge to meet the Seeds staff and enjoy refreshments.  We're so excited to be working with Seeds and can't wait to partner with the cafe and library on a few very exciting events this summer.

New Library Spot Will Be Seeds Cafe!

As previously noted, in a really cool move the Boulder Farmers' Market will be operating the new cafe at the Boulder Public Library main location. And the name winning the public naming contest is Seeds Cafe, the one the Farmers' Market was hoping for! It beat out Aesop's Tables, which also had resonance, but I'm so glad the name will be a great match with the actual operators. Here's what the Market says:

Official Library Café Name

After weeks of nominations and voting, our café space opening in February inside the Boulder Public Library finally has it's name: Seeds Café. See you at Seeds in a few short months!
