Java Garden - St Jacobs

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!

I decided to visit this restaurant for the first time today and I was absolutely impressed. I ordered a chicken and bacon panini as well as a strawberry rhubarb crumble bar, both of which were delicious. The owner mentioned their famous soup and even gave me some to take home after hearing I hadn't tried it before. The soup was fantastic, with a natural sweetness from the peppers that complemented my sandwich perfectly. The friendly atmosphere and excellent customer service really stood out to me. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Great food! Very delicious tomato soup (is has red peppery taste but not spicy, more sweet : i had a combo with turkey apple butter brie panini and it was a great value! Their lavender latte is good too.

Discovered this shop because they were the only place using Bell during the Rogers outage yesterday. I ordered their popular soup and sandwich and absolutely loved it. Probably the best I’ve tasted so far in KW region. The owner is extremely nice and hospitable. Will definitely come back again.
