Hosted by AT&T
Our good friends at AT&T are back at the Roo, and they have helped us to create Café Where? Situated at the back of the main venue, it offers seating, drinks, shade, and down home Tennessee BBQ. You'll have a prime view of the 'What Stage' and great live music in the café itself! Don’t forget to check out their exclusive live Bonnaroo content that will be featured at music.att.net after the Festival.
Judging by this blurb it seems that this cafe won't have it's own acts but just be a place to relax and eat and watch the What stage. Maybe they will put some small bands here but I don't know.

but i can't complain about drinks, bbq and a 'prime view' of what stage all in a shaded area.

Do you think it's that little shaded bar area in front of the What Stage all the way back by the fence where little bands play? I forget what it was called last year, but it saved my life when I was about to evaporate during a blistering Ratdog one year...

I think that was a budweiser (or other beer) sponsored tent. I sat there for some of Metallica in the rain last year. The news they posted makes it seem like it will be a different location
djjd kept referring to how good the cafe is this year, and that he'd be spending alot of time there. People were also kinda shocked that phoenix and russian circles were going to be in a cafe for how "big" they are.
I for one would be interested to learn more about said cafe...
Hasn't this always been there? There is definitely always a Cafe stage that is located with a view of the What Stage, though didn't it use to be the Budweiser Troo Music Lounge?
I think this is same thing, different name.
Yes, I remember going in to it last year. They had tables and chairs but they were ALWAYS taken. We stood under the shade a bit last year and saw some guy play... and I remember wanting some of that BBQ.
If I remember the layout of centeroo correctly there has been the blue room tent hosted by att&t where you could get on the internet and charge your cell phone, it was located among all the vendors in centeroo. There was also the budweiser lounge (don't know the exact name) that was between the bobble heads and the vendors in centeroo.
The sides of the main lawn infront of what stage are all lined with food vendors, the back wall is lined with porta-jons, and obviously the front is the stage. I think I remember the something else new orleans tent being toward the back of the what stage last year but I could be mistaken...

Was this in the VIP area or in centeroo? I can't remember anything like this but thats not saying much...

that's what I thought......but considering they already announced the budweiser music lounge a while a go I'm thinking this is something a little different. maybe they are going to be near each other? or one on the left and one on the right? dunno
edit: on second thought.........maybe the troo music lounge is going to be a newer, bigger section like that image.....and the cafe where will take the spot where the budweiser music lounge used to be

Cafe Where is just a new name for the AT&T Blueroom Cafe. It sounds like it will be in the same location, with the same setup, just a different name. The Troo Music Lounge will have the same format as last year as well, and presumably be in the same location. When djjd refers to "cafes" I think he is including both of these. The "Cafe" acts are playing these two venues.
The cafe in the back of the main stage grounds was the AT&T Blue Room Cafe for the past couple of years. I saw a show there before Tool in '07 and it was the same thing last year. I think Bonnaroo is just throwing a different name on it.
Also, it's not exactly prime viewing for What Stage. Pretty far away

Somewhere in Centeroo but I couldn't tell you where exactly. I got lost everytime I walked around Centeroo. Seems I never saw the same thing twice.... Fun times!

yeah i spent all of the YMSB set there last year, with many others, taking refuge from the heat and there was a band getting ready to play inside the actual tent.

it seems like some of the bigger named artists generally play this cafe...although, the troo music lounge generally has the bigger ones play latenights...if i had to say, i'd say i could see justin townes earle during the day (fri) in cafe where, phoenix possibly a latenight in troo lounge (fri), william elliott whitmore probably day (sat) in cafe where, russian circles maybe a latenight (sat) in troo lounge, and jessica lea mayfield probably cafe where (sun)

Just to keep you from embarassing yourself, South Carolina = the world capital of BBQ, being the ONLY state with 4 indigenous varieties -- Mustard-base, Vinegar/Pepper, Light Tomato, and Heavy Tomato.

For the record. I take pride as a native.
I too, sir, take pride as a native, and mad respect for repping on the BBQ, even though you're sooo wrong. Memphis easily navigates the ether between wet- and dry-rub with class and poise. Neely's and the Rendezvous are world-class institutions of pork preparation. We can agree to disagree. Meet me in the cafe, I'll buy you a beer and we can continue our discussion.
