Greetings!

Happy May! Our 8th anniversary is racing towards us and we are so grateful to you for making it possible. This is a year of growth for me and my business acumen, and just being open to possibilities has brought many wonderful and interesting opportunities my way. I am actually a bit overwhelmed with all the potential and it seems like I will never have enough time to learn everything that I want to. I have to remember to stop and breathe once in awhile. To just close my eyes and be in the moment, feeling the vibration of energy that learning and collaborating with others brings me, and releasing the tension and anxiety that comes from not feeling like I am doing good enough. Does that happen to you? No matter how well things may be going, I often feel like there is so much more I could be doing, and the pressure builds. I stop and breathe. Feel every point of physical contact I have. Breathe. It will all turn out exactly as it should.

 

As the days get longer (yet do not afford us more time!) we know how many things you have to do. Your time is valuable to us, too! You can take your meal to go and enjoy on the beach across the street, take it on your boat, bike, hike, camping trip, or whatever you are doing, even if it's going back to work.

 

If you only have a few minutes to stop in the cafe and dread waiting in line you can keep prepaid credit on your gift card. Then, whenever you call in your order we can process it quickly and have it ready for quick pick up for you. You can avoid the line entirely! We want to be as fast as possible for you even though we aren't really fast food. Of course we look forward to when you can spend a little leisure time here and visit with us, though we know you are busy and sometimes need to get out quickly! 

  

PLUS you can always check out the daily features on our website: www.WaterfrontBakery.com,

I hope you find time to breathe in the delicious aromas of this wonderful place we live!  

 

 

We can't wait to see you here!

Silverdale Farmer's Market is On!

Every Tuesday through September, 10 am-4 pm
This great market is in the Port of Silverdale parking lot on the waterfront and there are lots of local vendors there for you to shop and visit with. Mark has a booth to sell cookies and bread, and you can enjoy music, crafts, food, groceries and more!
 
MEET ME AT THE MARKET! I will post "Meet me at the Market" on Twitter and Facebook whenever I can visit a local farmer's market, noting which market and what time I will get there. The first person to find me will win a prize: I will purchase something unique from one of our local farmers or vendors for you, and give you a recipe or method of preparation for it. Everyone who finds me can come along with me to meet our farmers!

 

 

 

 

OLYMPIC OUTDOOR CENTER OPENS The Silverdale Waterfront Kayak & SUP Rental Kiosk on Friday May 30th!

 

 

It's the perfect pairing! A nice paddle to be on the water and enjoy the views and wildlife, then up to the cafe to sit on the deck and enjoy a nice meal, maybe a glass of wine... whatever keeps you afloat!

 

 

 

 

Girls' Night Out at Kitsap Mall

Thursday June 5th, 4-8 pm

 

Authors * Vendors * Cupcake Wars * and More! 

Anyone can enter the Cupcake Wars contest

 

PLUS Monica is doing a cooking demonstration!

It's all free so come check it out and have some fun!

 

 

 

 

And a couple of other local tidbits:

 

Bainbridge Island's "Sound Food" has created a guide to find purveyors of local food. 

 

It is called the "Island Food Circle Guide" and you can click that link to check it out! 

 

 

Our neighbor Jason Parker, from Parker Financial, has published his latest book "Sound Retirement Planning" and it is available now. You can get a signed copy at the Cafe or order a regular copy from Amazon. We will entice him to have a book signing here and you can talk with him about it in person! We'll let you know as we formulate the details...

 

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."

You may be thinking "How can I help?"   
Here is one small way:  
 
 
 
Central Kitsap Food Bank's 7th Annual Bread Basket Bash
 
"A Night of Aloha" Saturday May 10, at the Silverdale Beach Hotel.
 
 
 
 
After all everybody needs a little help now and then.
