Global Cafe open in downtown Lawrence

Owners of one downtown business now own another one next door.

Kate and Rafael Gonzalez, owners of Kimbari at 822 Mass., have joined Ali Benremouga in opening Global Cafe, a new restaurant at 820 Mass.

Global Cafe serves breakfast, soups, Cuban-style pressed sandwiches and arepas. The cafe also features a salad bar, a full espresso and coffee menu and a variety of teas, chai and juices, most of them organic and fair trade.

The cafe – inspired by the owners’ American, Venezuelan, Spanish and Algerian backgrounds – is open 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays.
