Jumpin Java Cafe - Noe near Henry

At 139 Noe, in the quiet Duboce Triangle neighborhood north of the Castro, a quiet and unassuming cafe awaited my visitation for sometime. The macchiato was excellent. The furniture and bulletin board reminded me of the cafes I grew up with, perhaps now a classic coffee house look, that always feels warm and comforting to me. The low lights allow for every single patron to work on their laptops. The music was barely audible, but calming, and the one couple that was in constant conversation did not carry from the window seat at the front of the restaurant. I was able to really focus here, writing two lengthy blog entries, before deciding it was time to go. I fact, the space is so ambient, that I completely lost track of time, not realizing until about twenty minutes ago that had spent over two hours here. I would highly recommend Jumping Java Cafe for a computer induced coffee experience, a good read, or a journal entry. If the ambience is the same as it is in the later morning, I imagine that this would be a great cafe to enjoy an early morning cup of coffee as consciousness slowly returns with the sun rise.
