I went to the Java Shop a few times when it was on Main Street in Herkimer, NY and liked it but had not yet visited their new digs on Mohawk Street. I finally corrected the omission yesterday.
Not the best picture, but you get the idea.
I confess one reason I had not visited yet is that there is only street parking, and I am not good at finding a parking space. Of course this was the case on Main Street too, but I find parking easier on Main Street than Mohawk. I guess that’s just me. Also, the Main Street location was easier walking distance from my house. I can still walk to Mohawk Street, but it is farther and I have to cross Route 5. I know, the trials and tribulations of being me. Some of you are probably playing miniature violins or whistling, “It’s a Hard Knock Life” (you know who you are).
No gumballs in the gumball machine, but I like it.
I ordered an egg sandwich on an English muffin and after some debate decided on regular coffee. I was going to get fancy and try a latte but decided against it at the last minute.
Plenty of seating.
I sat at a table and started a letter to a friend while I waited for my sandwich. There is a section with couches, which would be nice to sit at if I was only having coffee. I wanted to take a picture, but with the sun shining in through the windows, I was afraid it would not come out.
I enjoyed my breakfast very much. The coffee was delicious, but I must return one day to try one of them there lattes.
The Java Shop by Cucina Berto is located at 402 Mohawk St., Herkimer, NY, phone number 315-717-7724. You can find them on Facebook.
