Warmer weather, colder drinks!

Let's talk about drinks that may give you a brain freeze if you drink them too fast! COLD DRINKS! Our cold drinks are our best-kept secrets, and we are no longer keeping them to ourselves! From iced coffee drinks to our beloved smoothies, we have just what you need to keep you cool on a warm day in South Mississippi!

We offer a variety of smoothie options including (but not limited to), green tea, protein, and fruit. What better way to jump-start the warmer weather than to indulge in a Java Werks smoothie! According to Cleaneatingkitchen.com, smoothies have an abundance of significant benefits like aiding in digestion, promoting a healthy lifestyle and being great for individuals on the go. Much like all of our other goodies, we make the smoothies however you want them! You can incorporate any of our natural flavorings into the smoothie of your choice to give it the exact taste you desire.

In addition to our smoothies, we have other cold drink options. Natural tea over ice and Italian soda are delightful ways to quench your thirst! Our natural teas range from refreshing to vibrant and have health benefits that include cold relief, digestion assistance and an increase in your ability to focus. Last but not least, our Italian soda flavors are almost limitless (keyword ALMOST). You have to stop in to see just how many flavors we offer. Did you think we were going to give away ALL of our secrets? ;)

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Balancing Business and Family

Owning a business is both challenging and rewarding. Today, we want to focus on the art of balancing business and family.

Often times we look to local businesses to give the community what they want and when they want it. Besides, that's what they signed up for right? Well, it's important to remember that business owners have families as well, and their personal lives have to be considered. For us at Java Werks, we understand the commitment that we've made to our beloved Hattiesburg community and we want nothing more than to satisfy our guests, loyal customers, and friends. That said, we sacrifice a lot of family time to make sure Java Werks is running smoothly.

Recently, we closed down on Sunday so that we could spend time with our children. It was something we went back and forth with but ultimately decided it was best for our family, and it was. That break forced us to remember what is important in life. Family time is something you can't get back, so we want to encourage everyone to take advantage of the time you spend with your family. We also want to thank the Hattiesburg community for supporting us and being open-minded. We support the community, and the community supports us. That's how it should be. That's how it is. We are so thankful for every single one of you. Cheers to learning how to balance business and family!

Venezuelan Breakfast

The Venezuelan breakfast tradition is something that we will continue doing for the rest of our days. Nothing compares to the joy we feel when we spend quality time with family. The breakfast usually consists of arepas, eggs, shredded meat, black beans, and cheese all spread out on the table for everyone to enjoy. We try to prioritize family time because time passes by so quickly and before you know it, the children are adults and heading off to live their own lives.

Due to the importance of breakfast time in Venezuela and what it means to us, we have decided to have our own Venezuelan breakfast for our friends (YOU)! The breakfast is on April 6th at 10 in the morning. Be sure to email us at Javawerksevents@gmail.com to reserve AND pay for your breakfast plate. The menu can be found on our Facebook page.

We hope to see you there!

International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day!

Today we celebrate our very own, Marbelis and Magde! They are mothers, sisters, chefs, wives, daughters, and friends. Thank you Magde and Marbelis for contributing to the success of Java Werks and being an inspiration to women everywhere!

We also want to celebrate every woman regardless of your background or where you come from! We appreciate you. Please enjoy these excerpts from a poem written by Reese Leyva…

“Remember, Woman, you were born

life-giver, miracle creator, magic maker.

You were born with the heart of a thousand mothers,

open and fearless and sweet…”

“…Remember, Woman, remember

you are more than you can see.

Remember, Woman, remember

you are loved endlessly.

Remember, Woman, your power, and grace,

the depth of your deep sea heart.

Never forget you are Woman, divine,

as you have been from the start.”
