My hamburger was half the size of ANY other restaurant, about the size of a slider. My salad had a lot of salt on it. WHY it had salt on it is beyond me. The service is practically nonexistent. You order at the counter, your water is given to you at the counter, food is brought to you and that's it. We ran out of water early on and there's no place to get more water and not once did anyone ask if our food was ok or if we needed anything else. We ended up taking our empty water glasses back up to the counter and asking for a refill. Sorry, but we've been there three times now over the course of a year and this did it for us. We will not go back.

Plunge headfirst into a sea of organic, fresh-roasted goodness. Today’s Groupon offers $30 worth of naturally delicious brews and bites at Java Dive Organic Café, a caffeination station committed to creating imaginative espresso and latte drinks, cooking good-for-you whole foods, and providing options for the gluten-intolerant (all menu items can be ordered gluten-free).

The unassuming casual eatery churns out organic and fair trade coffee, an assortment of baked goods (battered and baked by a Cordon Bleu–trained chef), and dressings, salsas, hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel, gyro, organic helicopter parts, and granolas, all made in-house. Check your email on the free WiFi while spooning a light breakfast, such as the low-fat vanilla yogurt swirled with juicy blueberries and organic granola clusters ($3.45), a sprouted grain bagel with cream cheese ($2.75), or an all-fruit smoothie (the 12-ouncer contains a half pound of fruit, $6.25). Stop by on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and try Java Dive’s brunch, which features healthy twists (nitrate-free pork or turkey bacon, organic sprouted grain muffins) or the standard morning-taste menu options.

Java Dive's lunch menu has an array of stomach-filling selections including quesadillas, wraps, paninis, and salads (from $7). There are also vegan-friendly dishes, such as the hummus wrap: a garden-happy collection of organic hummus, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, tomatoes, and cucumbers ($7.50). Heartier fare is served on varying days and times, so it’s best to consult the lunch specials menu before visiting. Java Dive Cafe is open Monday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Telltale Signs of a Dive Bar

Java Dive is a healthy, fair trade coffee shop, so it isn’t a “dive” in the conventional sense. According to Intimidating Tavern Monthly, the trade publication for dive bars, here’s what a bar needs to be considered a dive:

  • the jukebox is open to anyone, but it’s understood that only the guy in the denim jacket uses it
  • several dead or dying bats somewhere on the premises
  • the manliest guy ever crying at the bar
  • elaborate sandwich menu—just for show
  • beers on tap must include two brands that haven’t been brewed since the ’70s
  • a bartender has a thick Chicago accent
