    Pancakes that will be remembered for all the right reasons! Even if you are on a diet...order the short stack and ask for the real maple syrup. You will not be disappointed. Yum!

    The entrance to the parking lot is to left of the front of the building off Ponce and is one-way. The exit to the parking lot is to the far back of the lot.

    The pancakes are SO GOOD. the kind of pancakes you always wish you could make at your house but can never get right. The cinnamon butter adds great flavor too

    A retro breakfast restaurant with biscuits that rival The Flying Biscuit's. Tip: bring cash!

    Looking for brunch at J. Christopher that is now closed? Come next door to Java Jive. They have an ATM inside to meet the "cash only" requirement.

    Homemade biscuits, delicious egg scrambles, gingerbread waffles, and challah french toast? Someone pinch me, I'm in heaven. One of the best brunch places ever. Now if they only served booze....

    Biscuits are the jam. Make sure you get one with your order.

    Come early for weekend brunch. The parking lot in the back fills up quickly.

    Love the food. Hate that they are cash only because I always forget and have to pay the ATM fee.

    If you are going to Flying Biscuit....you are waiting too long for mediocre breakfast. COME TO JAVA JIVE!
