Serendipity Caffe and Bakery owner rubs elbows with the stars At the baseball stadium and the Tacoma Dome arena, Koon has served Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Fleetwood Mac, Hall & Oates, Barry Manilow, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Huey Lewis & The News — too many house- hold names to list, really. Year after year, the celeb- rities, meet-and-greets, corpo- rate events and VIP parties go by almost in a blur, with Koon arranging their menus and at- tending to their needs. If Miley Cyrus wants mac and cheese, mac and cheese she shall have. If Lady Gaga By ERICK BENGEL The Daily Astorian When Paul McCartney played a sold-out concert for 47,000 people at Seattle’s Safeco Field in July 2013, Cheryl Koon was backstage making sure Sir Paul had his vegan pasta. Koon, the owner of Ser- endipity Caffe and Bakery in Warrenton, coordinated all of the catering for McCartney and his crew through her job with an international hospital- ity and food service company she has worked for since 2008.

They reopened it as a bak- ery-cafe the next day, New Year’s Day of 2015. Serendipity — housed in a historic building that was once a Mobile gas station and, later, a U.S. Bank (a bullet mark remains in a bul- letproof window from a 1984 robbery) — shuns the assem- bly-line sameness of many eateries. The breakfasts and burger patties, the espressos and desserts are all house- Cheryl Koon — who still works for the Tacoma Dome doing behind-the-scenes ca- tering — got her start in the food-and-beverage industry as a teenager when she was hired as a hostess in her hometown of Issaquah, Washington. “I kind of fell in love with the industry. I fell in love with meeting new people every day and getting to know people who would come in often,” she said. The couple’s recent move marks the second time they have taken up residence the Astoria-Warrenton area. James, in fact, began his Coast Guard career on the Alert in 2001, back when their now 22-year-old son, Jacob, was 8, and Cheryl was pregnant with their daughter, Kaylynn. “I kind of want to make sure that we take care of the town, you know?” Cheryl Koon said. “This restaurant has been es- tablished since 2003; it’s kind of a staple in Warrenton.” Since Serendipity is in Warrenton’s downtown core rather than on U.S. Highway 101, the business relies almost solely on regulars and local customers most of the year. Every day, veterans get a 10 percent discount. So far, Cheryl Koon is lov- ing her ¿ rst plunge into busi- ness ownership. “Like people say: If you’re doing what you love, then you never work another day in your life. And some days I feel like that, and some days I go, ‘What have I done!?’ she said, laughing. “Every day is different; Some days are great, some days are not. But it’s all an adventure.” Warm FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED • • • • • That’s the very same atti- tude she takes at Serendipity. “We just want people to feel comfortable, like you’re in our home, ” she said. Koon and her husband, James , purchased the estab- lishment in December 2014 several months after moving to Astoria, where they live in Uppertown. Alongside catering star-studded shows and family events in Seattle, Cheryl Koon managed the Hit it Here Cafe & Bar, a casual dining restau- rant in Safeco’s right ¿ eld that caters for the Seattle Mariners, their families and fans, and visiting teams. But when James Koon, a boatswain’s mate chief in the U.S. Coast Guard, transferred to Astoria — where he serves as an active duty member on board the cutter Alert — she decided that she couldn’t main- tain her seasonal game-to-game schedule with the Mariners. Erick Bengel/The Daily Astorian Cheryl Koon, the owner of Serendipity Caffe and Bakery, pours a cup of joe in her establishment. She also does catering in Se- attle for rock concerts and family events, like monster truck rallies.

They’re at two different cities in one day. I just want to make sure that they feel welcomed, and that they can settle and stay centered when they’re at my establishment, or in my building, or in my presence,” she said. “I want to make sure that they’re taken care of.” ‘Where I belonged’ Ontario 20/33 Bend 22/36 Medford 38/49 ‘An adventure’ HIGHLIGHTING PEOPLE WHO ARE NEW TO THE COMMUNITY ACCUWEATHER ® FORECAST FOR ASTORIA Astoria 5-Day Forecast made, largely with local in- gredients. “We’re real people making real food,” she said. $ 20 O FF Expires Ja n . 31, 20 16 Located next to Big 5 and Fred Meyer Warrenton 503-861-6085 FREE DELIVERY FREE SET-UP w/minimum purchase, local delivery HOURS : M-F 10-7; SAT 10-5; SUN 11-5 With 3 convenient locations NEWPORT | LINCOLN CITY | WARRENTON www.americasmattress.com Jan. 7, 2016 WILSON, Robert Allen, 54, of Seaside, died in Sea- side.
