Washington Ave N and 6th Ave N, Minneapolis | 651.317.4717 would work better for his intellectually motivated coffeehouse. Lavvu had previously occupied a space in Blaine’s waning Northtown Mall, but Pesklo felt a home near the U. No word yet on how Sami elders feel about taco waffles.

“We hope to really make it big on that,” Carney said. Lavvu will also sell baked goods, soups and sandwiches as well as waffles – both traditional and savory types invented by kitchen chief Jessica Carney, who is working on stuffed versions like a pizza waffle and a taco waffle. It’s all quite interesting, but after talking to Pesklo all I can think is that if Sami-style coffee is described as “brutal,” then, to quote Liz Lemon, “ I want to go to there.” Oh, and famous folks with Sami heritage include Joni Mitchell and Renee Zellweger. In the 1850s, a minister introduced coffee to the Sami people as a diversion from alcoholism, which was devastating the culture. It has a very different, more crude taste … it’s supposed to be very strong, almost brutal.”Īccording to Pesklo, the Sami ties to coffee predate Scandinavians’ general obsession with the stuff. There, you’re out in the tundra, the cold, you have some coffee, it has to be brewed extremely hot, and with a mixture of spices.

“The whole process is educational about Sami culture. “To go from a traditional latte and then back to Sami coffee, it would be a big shock,” he said. Pesklo said Sami-style coffee is quite strong, includes a variety of spices – he’s consulting with local Sami elders for various recipes – and is like lutefisk in that people who enjoy Sami coffee are partially drawn because of the history behind it. The decor includes its namesake lavvu, a teepee-like traditional Sami tent where you can sit and sip your latte. Owner Chris Pesklo is driven to create a coffee shop that not only serves fine food and coffee but also educates customers on the history and traditions of Sami culture. Case in point: Lavvu Coffee House, which opened last week, is devoted to serving coffee in the traditional style of the Sami people from northern Scandinavia.
