Although at first it may appear as a coffee shop, after a second look its easy to see that Jumpin J’s Java is much more than your average coffee chop. Open for coffee for the early risers of Church Hill since 2004, they offer a wide variety of great coffee with a great menu to match. A long bakery case and a big blackboard detailing all the offerings take up most of one side of the restaurant.
Jumpin’ J’s Java has endeavored to preserve the coffee-shop offerings while ratcheting up the quality of cuisine offered in the evening with aweekly menu of fine-dining options. Although the menu is limited, it is nothing short of elegant. In particular, the wonderful service and nicely varied wine list shows a real ambition to move beyond its previous incarnation.
