Java Garden - St Jacobs

This is an adorable cafe, very quaint but very small.

Ahhh I fell in love with this adorable cafe as soon as I stepped in! The décor was very modern and homey, I loved the chalkboard walls and pretty lights.

Food: 4 stars_Came by just before closing so our choices were limited.

I ordered the gluten free tomato mozzarella spinach panini and I LOVE IT! its so yum and I love how they have gluten free options. I’ve gotten their watermelon smoothie and super fruit all star smoothie, both which are very nice. It is a little on the sweet side but a nice kind of sweet. The owner is also super sweet. I love walking to this cafe on my daily walks plus their prices are really affordable too.

We had learned from a Facebook group that Java Garden, among other things, served Danish Smørrebrød (Danish style open sandwiches with lots of toppings). Being Danish, we had to try. We were told next time to book ahead so they would have more options and be sure to have the right ingredients available. Still, they made us two different types of Smørrebrød fresh as we waited with all the toppings expected with Danish Smørrebrød. It was really, really good and very authentic. We had frikadelle sandwich and egg and scrimp sandwich. And rum balls. We spoke with the owner and learned a bit about his history and that of the café. We enjoyed our visit very much. We will definitely come back!
