About Us
Cafe Selmarie began with the chance meeting of two neighbors in a local grocery store in 1983. It already seemed as though they were destined to meet. Jeanne Uzdawinis and Birgit Kobayashi lived one block away from each other on Giddings and had heard about each other from their neighbors. "A mutual friend had sung the praises of Birgit's hazelnut cheesecake and her nut tarts with apricot—she just loved her stuff," recalls co-owner Jeanne Uzdawinis. "One day we ran into each other at the old Pleasing Supermarket on Lawrence. We chatted on the spot for about 30 minutes, then got together for coffee afterwards," says co-owner Birgit Kobayashi. Their friendship and collaboration led to Lincoln Square's longtime destination restaurant and bakery.
