Cafe Java: A Coffee Joint with Top-Notch Eats Near Folio

March 17, 2016 by

Ever been to a coffee shop where the drinks are excellent but the food isn't great? That’s not the case at Cafe Java, a cafe serving delicious, high-quality brunch all day long a half-mile from Folio. The cafe has a charming atmosphere with its quirky art on the walls and other decorations hanging from the ceiling. Guests also rave about the friendly and welcoming service that really goes above and beyond.

But let’s talk about the food: all-American favorites like biscuits with gravy, eggs Benedict, and pancakes are perfectly made here. It has daily specials too like two-for-one burgers on Mondays. A very popular menu item is the Ultimate Migas, which is scrambled eggs with corn chips, chorizo, and other Mexican flavors. And as you’d expect, Cafe Java has great coffee, with drinks ranging from the regular (Iced Latte) to the fancy (Caramel con Panna).

Barley Swine: A Popular Foodie Spot in a New Home Near Folio

March 2, 2016 by

When adventurous food meets with tasty drinks in a welcoming spot, you get Barley Swine, a New American restaurant that recently moved to within about 10 minutes of Folio. Barley Swine was earning rave reviews and creating great memories in its former South Lamar location, but the chefs needed more space to amp up their cocktail program. The new location boasts lovely dim lighting and plentiful seating around the bar, making it perfect for a night out with friends or a date.

The drinks don’t disappoint. There are updates on old favorites like Obligatory Tiki #1—made with Black Seal Rum—and one-of-a-kind tastes like the pisco which includes fernet, egg white, winter citrus, and cilantro. The tapas-style menu offers dishes you can’t find anywhere else, like Cider Vinegar Pie, Grilled Octopus with Pig’s Foot Fried Rice, and Bacon Curd with Pinto Beans and Greens. Come for "Swine Time" happy hour, every Monday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 6:30 pm.

Eat and Drink For a Good Cause at O’Joy

February 16, 2016 by

O’Joy is a new kind of juice and frozen yogurt bar. The owners of O’Joy not only promise local and organic ingredients in their food, they spread their goodwill even further by donating a meal to a child in need for every item they sell. The worthy cause is enough on its own to visit O’Joy, and the highly reviewed juices and frozen yogurts don’t hurt, either.

The menu is full of fresh-squeezed juices and smoothies like the Governor Grapefruit (grapefruit juice, raspberry, and orange juice), the Capitol Carrot (carrot, ginger, habanero pepper, apple juice), the Raspberry Love (raspberry, lime juice, and sparkling water), and a classic green smoothie. Froyo flavors range from banana, date and yogurt to banana, cocoa and yogurt.

In addition to juice and frozen yogurt, O’Joy also sells a variety of salads, yogurt bowls, and acai bowls (both come topped with an assortment of fruit, granola and juice), wraps, coffee, and tea.

O’Joy is open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday for all of your juice needs. Plus, it’s only one and a half miles from Folio, making a stop here an easy one.
