While best known for its fresh-brewed coffee and espresso drinks, Jammin Java offers a broad selection of fruit smoothies, frozen coffee drinks, chai, hot chocolate, mimosas, wine and beer, including craft and local beer. The 100 percent all-natural smoothies include classics such as pina colada and lemonade, as well as raspberry, peach and mango.
In addition to muffins, bagels, cookies, brownies and dessert bars, the coffee shop cooks hot breakfast items to order. The morning menu includes a breakfast burrito, biscuits and gravy, breakfast panini and granola and fruit. Gluten-free items are also available on the breakfast menu.
For lunch, deli sandwiches, house-made soups and fresh salads are served. A local favorite is the Albuquerque Turkey with hickory-smoked turkey, Swiss cheese, tomato, avocado, organic greens and mayonnaise. Grilled sandwiches include The Cisco Kid with roast beef, cheddar, onion, horseradish and mustard; or The "Full" Monte Cristo with maple ham, Swiss and provolone cheeses, jam and powder sugar.
House-made soups are a hot item. The rotating soup schedule is: chicken gumbo on Monday, potato bacon on Tuesday, broccoli-cheese on Wednesday, Baja chicken on Thursday, and Southern-style chili on Friday.
The ½ & ½ combo offers the best of both worlds with a cup of soup and half sandwich for $7.75.
A free Jammin Java app provides store locations, the menu and a loyalty rewards program that offers a free coffee after the purchase of 10. Customers who bring their own mug can get a drip-brew coffee refill for $1.
On Tuesdays, customers get a double punch for their coffee purchases. Additional daily specials include Baked Man-N-Cheese on Mondays with a choice of one meat and two toppings; Beer Bratwurst on Wednesday with a beer-boiled brat and a choice of up to nine free toppings; Thirsty Thursdays offer a $3 discount on local draft beer, and on Fridays the special is Frito Chili Pie.
