Java Beach At The Zoo

"Nice spot near the zoo. Easy parking in the morning. Inside is kind of cozy so if you're gonna eat or sit, there's only about 6 to 7 tables inside. Good service, can't hear them call names from the sitting area even with not that many people there. A speaker or something would help. Food was good but not exactly the cheapest but that's the norm nowadays I guess. Had a salmon lox bagel. It was good but a little light on the salmon for the price. Friends had breakfast burritos which looked better bang for money. Muddy water (americano) was average. I enjoyed Andytown's americano more. Would go again if in the area but I think there's better cafe/coffee shops around."

"Dining area isn't cleaned often and can get cramped especially if a family of five with small babies decides to set up "latte camp" complete with multiple strollers blocking the one walkway not to mention the rear exit. The condiment area is another disaster; always crowded, trash everywhere,etc. Cinnamon rolls are decent (they get them from Devil's Teeth) but they're day old most of the time; even after they re-heat them they're not as good a day or two later. The coffee's good but the service very slow."

"We were looking for pizza for the kids and went next door. We ordered for them and then this place really caught my eye. We fed 2 adult couples here while kids enjoyed their pizza. Food was surprisingly good as we had warm sandwiches and soup. It was a cool evening and the place was very comfortable. Has the vibe of an old English neighborhood pub with warmth and character. The beer was fresh, the food hot and delicious and absolutely no complaints."

"Great little place with a lot of character and friendly service. Whether it’s for coffee, food or a beer, you won’t be disappointed. Stop by if you’re in the area."

"A small place with lots of character... and very good breakfast food that we enjoyed while we waited fro the zoo to open. The almond croissant was not overly sugared or sweet, as so many of them are... and the bacon breakfast burrito had bacon that was actually crisp and thick, unlike the soft, mushy bacon often found in other breakfast burritos. The orange juice was fresh-made, the espresso was quite satisfying. The staff were friendly and busy at three same time. A steady flow of customers showed that this small place has built up a following."
