Well, this wasn’t the scheduled stop today, Joe Mama’s was on tap, had a giant white open sign on their building, a flashing open sign in the window, and no one in sight. Wah wah wah…
So I pressed on to the airport and pulled up yelp to fin another coffee shop on my way I knew was on Empire, but I guess I dreamt that shop last night in my sleep.
I knew Java Jungle was the last stand North towards Redmond, so I had my out to check them off the list, and I’m glad I did.
I’ll get to the coffee in a minute, I want to address the shop itself, it’s not easy to get to, they have a second location that coincidentally is the last coffee stand South you can get in Bend, that’s good real estate there. The Barista’s were kind of lack luster, one said it was her last day and it took a bit for them to come to the window.
Coffee: 24oz Ice’s Espresso with Cherries Jubilee and Heavy Whipped Cream ($6.25) is what came out of my mouth. I thought it was smooth. It wasn’t. She was like, what? Cherries Julie’s? 🤦🏻♂️ I said it again, fail, said it a last time and we were on the same page.
HOW DO YOU ORDER COFFEE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON??????
Ok, flavor profile is amazing Cherries Jubilee consists of White Chocolate, Amaretto, and Cherry flavoring. After the first sip I was presently surprised at the combo, a little heavy on the cherry, but still good. And then it hit me. Coffee. I tasted coffee with my flavoring! Yes! Good coffee!
Final word. Give them a try you’ll enjoy it. Totally climbing up the list on the great 8.
Rest of post will be update when on a computer.
