"The original Java location was created as the ultimate hangout for its founder, a man whose look—thick square glasses, long hair, indie band t-shirts, and a thin hipster scarf—was so iconic that locals dressed as him for Halloween. He passed away in 2020, but his passion for motorcycles, skateboards, and music are injected throughout the coffee shop and café in touches like laminated band photos as table markers for your food orders. The drink menu has all the coffee classics, but you should order their famous Bowl of Soul, a specialty mocha that uses Mexican hot chocolate and comes topped with homemade whipped cream. Add on a high-protein turkey scramble or a heavy breakfast burrito, and check out the long display case of scones, muffins, and cookies." - Hayden Seder
