This month’s Business Spotlight is on Bluebird Café 🥞🍳🍔
Bluebird Café opened in 2011 and quickly became a North Liberty staple featuring an all-day-breakfast, lunch and dinner. This family-friendly establishment is known for their spicy Krakatoa omelet, mouth-watering cinnamon rolls, and robust coffee.
Lacey Meyne, Luke Meyne and Dawn Culley are excited to open a second location this Spring in Solon. Ensuring that their new location has fast and reliable fiber internet is critical to Bluebird’s business operations. “We are going to rely heavily on our internet service for running our point-of-sale system, playing music, and providing Wi-Fi for our guests,” said Dawn.
