Do you have time for coffee? If so, then Kavarna is the place for you.

Located at 112 S. Broadway in Green Bay, Kavarna is one of my favorite places. The casual bistro atmosphere allows customers to linger over coffee & good conversation with friends.

And what good coffee it is - from latte to espresso, they do it well. And the best of all is the Espresso Shake. Try it once, and you'll be hooked for life.

If you're in need of something more substantial, the vegetarian menu is full of good eats - have the Southwest wrap -it never disappoints.

Make time this weekend to visit. Kavarna is open:

• Monday - Friday 7 a.m.-10 p.m.
• Saturday 9 a.m. - 10 p.m.
• Sunday 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
