Audrey’s Cafe Grand Opening

Audrey’s Cafe Grand Opening

Spring has clearly sprung on the UC San Diego campus, and at Geisel Library, everything is coming up daisies! On Tuesday, May 3, daisies, as well as coffee and other treats, will be plentiful at the Library's new café—”Audrey'”named for Audrey Geisel, the Library's long-time friend and generous benefactor. The campus celebration will begin at 10 a.m. at the entrance to the café, located on the main (2nd) floor in the East Wing of the Geisel Library building. After a brief ceremony featuring a Seuss-inspired "ribbon cutting" event with Chancellor Pradeep Khosla, University Librarian Brian Schottlaender, and other campus leaders, guests will have the opportunity to sample and purchase certified organic, fair trade coffee brews supplied by award-winning independent roaster Café Virtuoso. The grand opening will also feature a special celebratory cookie baked by the café's pastry purveyor—Bread & Cie—as well as Audrey's Almond Croissant, for the grand opening. Festivities will include music from the Teeny Tiny Pit Orchestra, a photo booth, cupping stations, and other social media activities--which will continue until 2 p.m. After the "ribbon cutting" ceremony, guests will be able to order food and beverage items from the café's regular menu.
