  This building is NOT a building!

Well to set things straight from the beginning it is Jungle Java, not Java Jungle as I seem to keep calling it.

Sorry.

I've walked past Jungle Java many times since it opened in '93, I think it was and not until I entered Jungle Java did I discover it's secret. Okay, maybe it's not really a secret, rather something You'd NEVER Guess!!!

Until you enter Jungle Java you'd never guess that it was not actually a building. All this time I thought it was similar to the BBQ House, with a recessed patio section in front. Cleverly, the owners cleaned up an area between two buildings and created a tropical jungle atmosphere to serve their coffee from. So, if you want a break from the grainy sand, or the hot sun, just walk half a block east from the beach and have a cuppa Java in the concrete jungle.

Along with the coffee, they also sell international garden ornaments, local artisans created gift items and of course plants.


Favorite Dish: The menu is pretty simple for a coffee house and depending on my mood, I'd choose any of the following:
Espresso
Cafe Mocha
Quiche, Spinach & Mushroom
StuffedCroissant, Spinach & Cheese
Pain au Chocolat
Biscotti
