The old Tatnuck Bookseller plaza on Chandler St. has been revamped and I am loving the result!
As a native Worcester resident, my heartbreaking sentiments were shared with the community when they closed in 2006; it was the perfect place to go for a quick (but so delicious!) sandwich and always had your summer reading in stock. It's been a few years, but now in its place is Jumpin' Juice & Java (tag line: the hippest drinks on earthTM ).
(And, really, it couldn't have come at a better time after my heart-wrenching announcement of the Shrewsbury Street Starbucks closing!)
Jumpin' Juice & Java serves a full line of specialty coffees, espresso drinks, both java and juice smoothies (non-fat/dairy), and a variety of menu items, including breakfast (served all day!), salads, sandwiches and wraps, paninis, and bakery items.
I sampled a 12oz cappuccino with sugar-free almond syrup and my mom had a 16oz latte with sugar-free vanilla syrup -- both could stand up to my Starbucks standard of delicious. (And, for all you DD-lovers: there are no pretentious names or sizes, rather just 12, 16, 20, or 24oz!) And, none of the menu items are over $7.00!
They kept most of the Tatnuck Bookseller's rustic appeal- with the original floors, ceiling, and beams throughout, and added in a fireplace, cush leather seating, a row of comfy booths and plenty of tables to accommodate yourself and a good book (or homework! They have free wifi!!) or a group of your closest friends.
And, they offer perks! They have the frequent-buyer cards for Lattes, Smoothies, and Coffee. Purchase 9 and get one free!
Should you find yourself outside of the city, locations are also in:
Gardner, MA
486 Chestnut Street
Leominster, MA
843 Central Street
...we also brought home a Caribbean Sunrise smoothie (with pineapple, mango, coconut, peach)...with the intention of adding some Malibu Rum to it later on!
Nutritional information for their smoothies can be found on their website.
