Julie’s Fresh and Seasonal Food Menu

…offers a little something for everyone!

Whether you’re craving protein, have a sweet tooth, eat vegan or prefer your desserts gluten free, there’s something delicious waiting for you at Julie’s coffee and tea garden.

Julie’s ever expanding menu offers a variety of seasonal specialties with changing soup, salad & warm sandwich specials that invite everyone to the table. In a café that feels both homey and modern, a place to find comforting house-made porridge along with effervescent house-made kombucha, Julie’s menu is inclusive rather than exclusive.

Chef Nichole Dezek joined the Julie’s team last fall and has been busy adding depth of flavor and expanding our menu to include even more variety. She’s inspired by the change of the seasons, local produce and making delicious food (such as gluten-free almond, cranberry cake!) for a variety of palates and dietary needs.Following are a few of our unique menu items we’re excited for you to try….
Rotating Specials are updated on our website daily.

The Patty Salad
Our Patty Salad is very filling and features warm, vegan’gluten-free rice & bean patties on a bed of baby greens with veggie garnishes and a special dressing. The flavors and dressings change so check the specials board for our daily offering.

Three flavors will be offered:

-“White Bean Sage” with fennel, cherry tomatoes and mustard sage dressing

March/April Art: SECRETS EVERYWHERE

SECRETSEVERYWHERE (1)

SECRETS EVERYWHERE – Art From Upcoming Public Scavenger Hunts
FEATURING ART BY ADAM DAVIS
show and scavenger hunt runs March 14-May 5 at Julie’s

OPENING PARTY featuring an in-house scavenger hunt!
Friday, March 14th 7-9pm

A message leads to a park bench.
Beneath the park bench is a puzzle.
The puzzle gives a phone number.
Calling the phone number plays a coded message.
Decoding the message gives the combination to a lock-box hanging off a pier.
Inside the lock-box…

Secrets Everywhere is an ongoing scavenger hunt leading participants to the locations of hidden art.
Follow the path, solve the clues, take home the art you find!
The goal is to remove people from their mundane daily routines and lead them out toward adventure.
It is free to participate!

Adam Davis is an illustrator in the San Francisco Bay area. He specializes in children’s illustrations, video-game and music related art. He has worked as a sign artist for Trader Joe’s, a poster artist for Grand Fanali Presents, a full-time touring musician and stay-at-home Dad. He recently completed a dinosaur themed project, funded by The Awesome Foundation, placing one hundred small, hand-painted canvases around the bay area, leaving clues as to their whereabouts. This was the catalyst for the creation of Secrets Everywhere.

UMBRA
photography by Manjot Bal

Manjot has been exposed to multicultural values and ideas through her education and her line of work. She is a graduate of Computer Science and a Post Baccalaureate of Photography from the San Francisco Art Institute. She takes pride in SFAI’s rich history and its extensive engagement in the historical, theoretical, sociopolitical, and creative concerns of the contemporary moment.

Her works essentially focus on creating a parallel world, but at the level of the human psyche. She believes that once the outer skin is peeled off, one finds astounding similarities on how a human mind perceives the world despite any differences in race, color, or geographical factors. What fundamentally impacts the mind is how it has been nurtured.

With juxtaposition of elements of dreams, thoughts and what the human mind endures, Manjot intends to create surrealist images that stimulate both the eye and the mind. These works are often accompanied by words of her own. She bases her works on a simple principle, “The body can never reach as far as the mind will. Neither can it endure what the mind does.” She attempts to explore these atrocities and the ecstasies of the mind through her photographs.

 

Opening Reception:

Friday, Jan 10th, 7-9pm

Show runs Jan 10- March 10

FEATURED PRODUCT: Beyond Borders

beyond borders
Beyond Borders
metal sculptures from Haiti

In the small artisan villages of Haiti, the air rings with the sound of metal banging against metal.  This traditional cottage industry art of converting cast off steel oil drums into metal sculptures has been passed down through four generations in Haiti in and around Port-au-Prince.  It is a true mark of man’s imagination and his resourcefulness in the face of dire economic circumstances.

Using 55-gallon steel oil drums, the artist first removes both ends of the drum, reserving those pieces for smaller sculptures and the popular 23 inch round lid designs. Next, he stuffs the drum with straw, igniting it to burn out any residues while also removing any paint on the drum. When it has cooled, he slices it down one side and pounds it into a flat four-by-six foot piece of metal “canvas.” With a stick of chalk, the artist then draws his intended design on to the metal sheet. Finally, he applies a hammer and chisel to the task; cutting, shaping, and contouring the piece to its completion.  No electricity, machinery, welding or repetitive stamping in used to create these metal sculptures.

The 100 artisans who work with Beyond Borders are folk artists in the classic sense.  They use materials around them in new and inventive ways to create wonderful pieces of art.  At the same time they are able to create better lives for themselves and their families through trade.  By purchasing a handcrafted item from Beyond Borders, you can be absolutely sure that the artist who made it has been well-compensated.  We commend your support of socially aware and environmentally sound trade practices.

        

Each metal sculpture comes with a weather-proof coating that will wear over time outdoors, resulting in an appealing rusty natural patina.  If preferred, the shiny metal finish can be maintained by simply applying a spray-on enamel clear coat every year or two, and the sculpture will continue to look the same as the day you bought it.
