Java Dog Coffee & Tea — Restaurant in Mannington Township

From the exterior of the building, one would never guess the delicious assortment of teas and coffee; baked goods, wraps and sandwiches to be found inside. I attended a closed event today, so I am not sure what is on the menu on a daily basis, but if today's fare was representative, you will be delighted. The owner and her daughter were delightful, helpful, and informative.

After our ladies tea, I left with a large bag of goodies - both teas (some are personally blemded by the proprietor) and a Rwandan coffee that has been difficult for me to find. They also sell local honey (Harveys delicious single source honeys), assorted loose tea brewing methods, locally thrown pottery, and local art. I was very pleased and will...

I was on my way to work to begin an early morning. I walked right it as they opened, generally a no-no for other places, and they greeted me like they were open for hours.

I got a vanilla chai latte--my main purpose for coming--but decided to get a breakfast sandwich. With apologies to my girlfriend, that was the best decision I had made in months. Everything bagel with egg, cheese and pork roll. AMAZING. Ate half and saving the other half for lunch.

Do yourself a favor and go there, plus you can buy art there....

Java Dog is very atmospheric, but I'm not sure what the atmosphere is; aestheticly the interior decor is great, but confusing; like the convergence of a honkey-tonk and a hipster cafe. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be eating alongside preachers or magnificent geeks.

I absolutely love this place; the food, the coffee, the cookies and cakes are great; but the tea is mind-blowingly good. And ever since the Greystone Cafe in Pennsville went belly-up, this is the only place to get quiche...
