Java Joe's Coffeehouse

"Dutch letters, veined with almond paste, are an excellent coffee companion. We couldn't figure out if this one was a W or an M. Whichever, it quickly became a U, then vanished."
Michael Stern

"This neon sign glows on Java Joe's wall. Down towards the back of the room another one spells out the letters T-E-A. However you prefer your caffeine, you'll find multiple varieties of it here."
Michael Stern



"Inside Java Joe's. Behind the long counter is where the coffee is brewed and poured. It's roasted in a machine up front."
Michael Stern



"From early in the morning, Java Joe's is a place people come to enjoy their choice of privacy or conversation. Most nights, live music is the draw."
Michael Stern



"Utterly delicious espresso"
Michael Stern



"If it's really early in the morning and you haven't yet woken up, this sign above the counter will remind you why you have come to Java Joe's."
