Just Because

Add comment January 27th, 2008

Just Because is a pretty new coffee shop located on the corner of Riverside and Owen Center roads. It’s right across from the new Super-Walmart, which is great because there really aren’t any coffee shops on that end of town.

Just Because is a fairly large location. There weren’t too many tables inside so it feels fairly spacious.  It would be an ideal place to work on group projects.

The food menu had a good selection. They offered a sort-of “build your own panini.” You could choose the meat: turkey, roast beef, ham, or salami; cheese: cheddar, provolone, mozzarella, or Swiss; and pesto: parsley basil, garlic artichoke, or roasted red pepper. We definitely recommend the garlic artichoke over the parsley basil.  The parsley basil was rather overpowering. The garlic artichoke was subtle but extremely flavorful.  All panini creations are $4.75.  You can also get their soup selection for $2.

To accompany our paninis, we ordered chai tea - our favorite! They have many different flavors that we thought were fun, because you can create a more unique flavor. We decided later that next time we will try something outrageous next time like chocolate cherry or raspberry coconut instead of our traditional vanilla. They also offered traditional coffee drinks, fruit smoothies, and a variety of cold blended coffee drinks.

Our experience at Just Because was great. We had an excellent panini and chai tea. The also have a drive thru for quick coffee runs! Go out and try this exceptional new café!
