Bears, bikes, and killer coffee - oh my!

At Java City, we're constantly searching for great breakfast joints. The confluence of great food and great coffee just isn't that common. Fortunately, a new Black Bear Diner just opened down the road in Davis, CA. In addition to the crazy large servings, this unique little diner also serves our smooth Java City brew.

Although Black Bear has been long famous for the strategic placement of the black bear throughout their diners, they also add elements that are unique to the cities in which they operate. As the bear is to Black Bear so is the bicycle to the town of Davis - where there are no school buses and bikes outnumber cars!

When in Davis, do as the Davis-onians do? Check out Black Bear Diner at 255 2nd St. and be sure to order 'The Grizz'!

Nits & Tats

Everyone's got a Danny.....okay, not really. But we do - and he loves coffee. So much in fact that he takes his Portafilter display with him wherever he goes. Danny is our production manager, superb roaster, and humanitarian extraordinaire. Dude, you rock!

Tamp-tastic...


High cheese factor.


Portafilter (Ahem): A portafilter (or group handle) attaches to the group head of semi-automatic and piston-driven espresso machines, and carries a tamped puck of coffee grounds within its basket. It is usually made of brass, and is attached by a plastic or wooden handle. The portafilter forms a seal with the espresso machine's gasket, and directs high-pressure hot water through the coffee puck.


Beginning May 31, Danny (as part of team LUGGED NUTS) will be biking to Los Angeles from San Francisco - a 545 mile, 7-day trek. Want to help? Check out the following link and help Danny reach his starting goal:
