The Menu

We change pieces of the menu seasonally and rotate cookies and cheesecakes by what just came in. If you do not see what you are looking for, ask, chances are we can make it work.

The Soup

Made fresh every morning for nearly a decade. Over 179,000 bowls and still counting.

Breakfast

Served all day. Built around eggs, good bread, and proper coffee.

Danish Open-Face Sandwiches

Smørrebrød, the Danish way. Single slice of dense rye, dressed deliberately, eaten with a knife and fork.

Paninis

Pressed hot, served with a pickle. Combo with soup available.

Wraps

Melts & Quesadillas

Salads

Half-portion option available on every salad.

Drinks

Lattes, cappuccinos, coffees, smoothies, loose-leaf teas. Oat and almond milk available. Decaf espresso on request.

Cheesecakes & Desserts

Cheesecakes brought in fresh from The Cheesecake Factory. Other desserts baked in-house.

Baked Goods

Made in-house. The banana muffin is our second-biggest seller after The Soup.

Cookies

From the Pantry

Take a piece of the cafe home. Soup by the jar, baked goods to-go, Danish candy and packaged nuts.

Catering & Gift Baskets

Bring The Java Garden home, or to the office.

Soup by the jar, custom gift baskets, panini platters, dessert trays. Give us a few days' notice and we will build something you can carry out the door.
