Jumpin' Java

the java chip frappe is the kind of thing you'll probably come back for, especially if you show up on a warm michigan afternoon when grand haven is doing what it does best and pulling people toward the lake. jumpin' java sits on washington ave, which puts it right in the middle of town, close enough to the waterfront that it makes sense as a stop before or after you head down to the beach. locally, the place has built a real following, and that kind of reputation in a town this size doesn't come from people being polite about it. the smoothies round out the menu nicely if coffee isn't your thing that day. either way, the java chip frappe on a hot july afternoon on washington ave is a pretty convincing argument for the detour.
