Where Coffee Time Meets Play Time

Finally, a coffeehouse for adults and children! Tired of dirty looks when your little one starts making noise at the local coffeehouse? Have you been yearning for a place where you can relax and drink a cup of coffee that is also kid-friendly?

Java Mama is a cafe created especially with parents and caregivers in mind. Relax with a cup of gourmet coffee or tea while your little one plays nearby in our specially designed play area. Play with your child in the play area or during designated hours let our experienced staff watch your child while you read the newspaper, get some work done using our free WiFi or attend one of our many classes such as pre- and post- natal yoga. We also have classes for the little ones, such as children's yoga, drama, dance, music and art classes.

Whether it's time for a snack or a full meal, Java Mama Cafe is the place to be. Check out our extensive children's menu featuring real fruit juice CoolSicles, smoothies and tried and true favorites such as hot dogs, chicken nuggets and pb&j sandwiches. For the big people check out our full line of gourmet espresso and tea drinks, along with your favorite baked goods, and delicious made-to-order salads and panini sandwiches. We've also expanded our breakfast menu with specialty bagels and breakfast sandwiches. Java Mama is the only child-friendly cafe around that prepares its own food on-site - meaning your order is made fresh just for you.
