Java Joe's.

Will they ever fix that door on the right? I'm pretty sure it's been out of use since the mid 90's.

Try the other door. The one on the LEFT.

Oh, you mean the one that the sign on the broken door instructs the reader to use?

real conversation inside the Mews, this has happened more than once:

Person walking into the Mews: "hey, is this how you get into Java Joe's?"

Me: "No this is the Vaudeville Mews, Joe's is next door"

Person: "well how do you get in?"

Me: "the front door...?"

Person: "well the sign says Please Use the Other Door"

blows my mind every time.

I stopped going there years ago. I heard someone bought it and took all the vegan food off the menu. I don't mean to be one of those whiney "look at me" vegans. I'm asking because I never bothered to confirm it.

Does anyone have the lowdown on this?

They always take down my fliers because of the pot leaves on them. Java Joe's used to be a great place to score acid and kind bud the first few years it was open. Now it just plain sucks.

The menu is the same and no goes there anymore unless there's a show next door.

it has essentially the same menu, with vegan options, it always has. people complain about the new owners, but i haven't noticed anything different about the place. joe coppola owned it before and that guy is a fucking douchebag. not allowing metal posters with nuns having fetuses ripped out of them by lucifers epic cock or offensive words shouldn't come as a surprise. they're a business. some family doesn't want to come in and have their kids see a poster with tits on it or the word "cunt". no big deal.

that said, i've always hated the place.

Their coffee sucks, I think.

There used to be a book shop in the room next door. Years ago. I think it was the only place in Des Moines where you could read Maximum Rocknroll. But yeah their coffee tastes like burnt cookies.

i used to prefer caribous sumatra but i think it had more to do with being in the MOA than taste.

i hate java joes mostly due to all the painfully unhip people who believe java joes is the hippest spot in des moines. if i give directions to almost anything to a great number of young people who are not cool, i have to use java joes as a reference point. and it's not even a cool place!

Anyone know if they still have House of the Dead? I used to play it all the time. I think $2.25 was the least amount of money I used to beat it once through.
