Steve Feldmann & Marie Feldmannova
Owners
steve@GuluGuluCafe.com | marie@GuluGuluCafe.com

Steve has been working in restaurants off and on since he was 15 (a wicked long time ago!). He holds an MBA from Northeastern University and a BA from Harvard University’s Extension School. He once wore real funky glasses with lots of bling.

Marie, a native of Prague, Czech Republic, holds a BSN from the University of Massachusetts. She is currently working as a Clinical research nurse at MGH. She has a background in the arts and art history, and has many many many years experience in the food service industry. In her abundant spare time she enjoys reading, the Red Sox, traveling and Rambunctious Rumbles with Jack (see below).


Jack "Fenway"Feldmann
Mascot and all-around cute puppy
www.facebook.com/jack.fenway
pups@GuluGuluCafe.com

Jack is a Boston terrier. He is a HUGE Red Sox fan and was born during the pivotal ALDS Series against the Yankees. He enjoys his ball, other dogs, licking, and cuddling. Occasionally he barks like a duck. It's very strange.


Charles Maxwell Feldmann
Assistant Mascot

Charlie is a pure blooded pug and proud of it! His interests include chewing on grass, furniture, Jack’s toys, and Steve's fingers. He also enjoys chasing Jack around the house and waking Steve & Marie up in the middle of the night. He snores. A lot.

 


Laura
General Manager
laura@GuluGuluCafe.com

Laura began at the Gulu as a waitress in graduate school recovering from her 10 years working in publishing.  She immediately became at home and then the Gulu took over.  Her daughter is very forgiving -- you can spot her around the cafe from time to time.  Make sure to say hi when you see her!  She'd love to hear what you think.


April
Kitchen Manager
april@GuluGuluCafe.com

I have a need for constant laughter & possess a ridiculous sense of humor...seriously, what you hear is often not what you would expect.  Crayola, nature, family & friends are my passions. I have an wide open mind, love thunderstorms, & really, really, really like flip-flops.  Knowing that my gypsy days were numbered, I made Salem my home with my family, and hope to stay here for a long while; or, at least until the I hear back from Santa about becoming a proper Christmas elf. 


Allie
Server

Allie plans to sleep when she's dead.

 


Allison
Bar

When Allison grows up she’d like to have a little house on the prairie but for now spends time trying to catch the wind in trees and on bicycles. Allison also realizes that tickets for time-travel are still rather expensive so she’s spending some time to give her life the same effect. You’ll find her growing vegetables, catching babies, and wearing long skirts and straw hats.  Allison LOVES TO READ and sometimes finds it more enjoyable to ask people what they’re reading to see the look on peoples’ faces.


Amanda
Server

Manda lives in Salem. Currently attending Salem State College, she is a science geek. She loves going to shows and adding new CD's to her collection. Her favorite color is green and she has a passionate hatred for cheese.

She may not smile, but that is usually because she is thinking about what to do next. Mornings are not a favorite, but she takes what is dealt to her. Her dry humor is her favorite personal quality. Sarcasm: Not to be taken personally, is a daily quest to discover the humor in everyone.

The spread of knowledge, random and purposeful, being her life goal. She hoards all facts that are found and treasures them until proven wrong. Challenge her in conversation and you will find a fun debate."


Andrea
Server

Andrea has returned back to her home after traveling! She's here to bring colors back to the Gulu. She's working on various artistic endeavors and she never charges for a smile!

Cook

Brandon
Server

Brandon enjoys swimming, cycling, reading, and climbing. If you do too he'd love to ask you "Well? Why are we just standing here running our mouths? Let's go outside!"


Caitlyn
Cook

Caitlyn is cooler than the other side of a pillow and at times is referred to as "the drunk Sheryl Crow." She is working at the Gulu to save money towards her dream in life: to own a puppy petting zoo, where she will own every type of dog and let them run free on her multi-acred farm.

 


Danny
Barista

Danny grew up in Lynn, MA to great acclaim. He defeated the giants there and took a really long shower. Legend has it, after shedding his skin in Amherst, he endorsed bad art and squishy tofu to fund a secret plan to conquer the espresso machine. 

He plots somewhere in Marblehead.


Guy
Cook

Guy is a Clinch, Harry. They burst into flame when it is time for them to die, and then they are reborn from the ashes. Ah, fascinating creatures, Clinches.

Don't call it a comeback!

Jeff
Ultimate Fighting Barista

"A spineless hipster." --- Marie Feldmannova

 


Jess
Server

A refugee from the desolate landscape of upstate NY, Jess has been kicking butt at Gulu since 2009. In addition to her awesome job she is also an evening student at Salem State, where she majors in history with a minor in political science. Jess is a big nerd who loves Dr. Who and can speak about it at great length.

Yes, that is her pink scooter outside!

She's super friendly, so please say hi!


Jordan
Barista

Jordan grew up in West Texas, but left the land of cacti for art, good beer, and culture. Talk to him about dystopian future novels, straight razors, headphones, and of course beer.


Kevin
Cook

I wake up, I go for a run, I make awesome food, I go home and make art, run a bit more, then do it all over again.


Lilly
Server

Lilly enjoys long walks on the beach, sunsets, and picnic lunches. Wait, no.... Lil just enjoys burlap farms, yoga, and fingerpainting. Lillyanne is not nicknamed 'tiger' for nothin (actually it's simply a witty commentary on her clumsiness). "Lil Y" is a political junkie with a problem and will always be down to discuss current events or the Dark Tower series, which forever ruined fiction for her since it is so freaking awesome. She has many nicknames and has lived many lives, maybe seven just this year. 


Lucas
Sound Guy

Lucas is from Texas.
He likes coffee and sitting in chairs.
He has two cats.
He is afraid of salesmen and Hulk Hogan.


Michelle
Server

Michelle is known amongst her friends as their real life version of Michael Scott. Her favorite aspects of life include the sun,  good conversations, Spongebob, swimming, drinking coffee, acting and singing, and improv. Upside, inside out, she's livin la vida loca.

"We'll recline up high above the breeze
dart about, float on wind with ease.
Pass the days doing only as we please,
that's what living is for.
Some things are meant to be, the clouds moving fast and free
the way it takes hold of me, no matter what I do."
                                -"Some Things are Meant to Be", Little Women

Natalie
Baristia

Favorite authors: Shakespeare and Jane Austen;

Favorite Places: London, UK and Portland, OR;

Life Goal: Never stop doing theatre;  

Miscellaneous Information: I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, AKA the land of coffee and beer, so I have no choice but to be obsessed with both! (Also...I’m secretly British but don’t tell anyone...)


Richie
Dishwasher

I clean dishes for the best Cafe in Salem! OYEAH!

& enjoy it.  


Sam
Cook

Sam’s highest aspiration is to be super woman. If she isn’t keeping busy then she feels as if the day is wasted. She embraces challenges, animals of all shape (with the exception of the hissing, stinging ants of South America but do ants really count anyways?), books, and outdoor adventures in the woods.


SJ
Server

I’m a robot in disguise.



Sophie
Dishwasher

In her efforts to avoid a collision, Sophie may just end up bumping into you anyway. She likes to call that fate, regardless of if she actually believes that that is true. As shy as she can be, Sophie is always up for good conversations, especially if they're about music, and hugs. You might catch her singing to herself, in which case she urges you to sing along. Sophie believes in the Oxford Comma and the printed word. There is no wrong time for a smile, so smile often and eat your vegetables. They're good for you.


Steven
Dishwasher

In 1975, before graduation Steven Gonzalez left Harvard to form Microsoft with his childhood friend Paul Allen. They planned to develop software for the newly emerging personal computer market and the rest was history! But now he enjoys playing with his son, drawing, skateboarding, hanging with friends and family.

Also he doesn't always drink adult beverages but when he does he enjoys a warm glass of milk! Stay thirsty my friends.


Stefania
Cook

With a vivacious personality, I go through my days just playing life's instrument. Slightly off, with some dork thrown in for good measure, is my approach to life.  I enjoy working with my hands, it brings me a satisfied feeling.  Being highly motivated towards my goals is the force that drives me forward.  I'm not all work and no play, though, I believe you need to go at life with all you have and that includes your sense of humor, a good attitude, will power, and a whole lot of laughs.


Tim
Barista

EARLY IN THE 21ST CENTURY, SKYNET, A MILITARY DEFENSE PROGRAM, BECAME SELF-AWARE. VIEWING HUMANITY AS A THREAT TO ITS EXISTENCE, SKYNET DECIDED TO STRIKE FIRST.

THE SURVIVORS OF THE NUCLEAR FIRE CALLED THE EVENT JUDGMENT DAY.

THEY LIVED ONLY TO FACE A NEW NIGHTMARE...

THE WAR AGAINST THE MACHINES. TO HUNT DOWN AND ERADICATE HUMANS, SKYNET BUILT TERMINATORS.
AS THE WAR RAGES ON, LEADERS OF THE HUMAN RESISTANCE GROW DESPERATE.

SOME BELIEVE ONE MAN HOLDS THE KEY TO SALVATION.

OTHERS BELIEVE HE IS A FALSE PROPHET.

HIS NAME IS TIM OLIVER.


Vicki

Zack
Server

Zach is a 21 year old originally from Rutland, Massachusetts. When he's not bopping around the Gulu, Zach can be found in class or onstage at Salem State University, where he is a Theatre Performance major. Once he gets his BFA, he plans on running as fast as he can to NYC, where he'll probably live in a box for a while. One of his favorite books/movies is Jurassic Park.
