The young couple realized their dream: they opened a café “Lapė medyje” in Velžis Food

Live this day

When asked why he decided to organize the opening at this time, the founder of the Jūratė Barzdienė café said that the idea was born when the virus was not yet known.

“We started installing a year ago. At that time, there was no knowledge of the virus and quarantine. Well, now we have finished configuring and we think there is nothing to wait because it is not clear when all this confusion will end. That is why that today we are celebrating the inauguration, “Jūratė said on November 17.

“We planned everything completely differently, but at first it was hampered by the first quarantine, then by the second. Now we live in this day and we try to squeeze all the best. For now we offer coffee and delicacies to go, and in the future it will be possible to sit comfortably. There are also plans for a playground for children, “said the cafe manager.

The name was born in his studies

When you visit the cozy café in the Velžis old-age building, you immediately notice the exclusive interior, which fascinates you from the first glance. When asked how such a unique cafe name and interior came to be, the couple said the name was invented while still studying and the interior adapted to the name.

“During our studies, we were a company of four friends and one night, coming back from somewhere, we joked that we needed to open our bar. Each had their own thoughts. Our idea was a coffee shop offering coffee and scones. At that time, we changed names in the business, so we also laughed that our name would be GOOD too! Thus was born “Fox in the Tree”. We didn’t even consider the name, we really knew it would be like that, “Barzdas opened.

Short sense

“We are from Panevėžys, but the man has a farm in Kerava village. That is why we spend a lot of time in these lands, especially in summer. We always felt that something was missing here when we passed by. Well, now we hear from customers who come that there were a real lack of cozy cafes in Velžis, ”said Jūratė.

“For us it is important that people want to come, have coffee, tea and taste sweets. We will also supply snacks in the future. Our coffee is ideal for families and for everyone who loves coffee. Although the quarantine adjusted the plans, the coffee is still just as delicious, ”he laughed.

The bearded family claimed that they themselves were great coffee enthusiasts and that their favorite was latte. “In our coffee, it is especially smooth and delicious. So we definitely recommend that everyone give it a try, ”said Simon.

Opening hours will be adjusted

Currently the cafe is open from 10am to 6pm, but can be adjusted later if the need arises.

“The convenience here is that there is a nearby park where people bring dogs, so they can have coffee and take a leisurely walk while drinking and enjoying themselves,” Simon said.
