After several years of just having a roasting shop with no seating and to comply with the many customer's requests, IJS has opened their first cafe at 519 Fleming Street in old town Key West, Florida.The idea of creating their very on coffee shop hit the drawing board last summer, after several mergers where explored with a few other coffee companies, but the fit was not there, so idea and commitment was born. Location - Location - Location was the first priority, then the square footage was discussed, as IJS wanted to be able to roast in one section of the shop, then offer seating, pastries and internet to their customers in another area, but at the same time keep their roasting area open for customers, as regulars, both from Key West and from around the world have always stopped by to smell what was in the roaster. "We got the best of both worlds." said Brandon, co-founder and coffee roaster at IJS.

space choosen is just off Duval Street, because IJS wanted to keep their shop quaint, as being on Duval Street offers more walk by traffic, but a lot of this traffic is from people partying, "which is fine." Brandon said, "but we really wanted to create an Oasis for our customers. Classy and relaxing"

So far the customers have all praised IJS for their location and ecclictic decor, mixing old world charm with modern coffee and espresso equipment. "Our customers are starting to find us again and that makes everyone happy again," Brandon said and adding, "Plus our location is great, as we have customer parking in the rear of the of the cafe and lots of street parking out front."
IJS is located just off the corner of Duval and Fleming Street, which puts their cafe just around the corner from Margaritaville, Fast Bucks Freddy, plus the Crowne Plaza (La Concha) and Starbucks. Also the IJS Cafe is across the street from a Key West landmark - Fausto's Food Place making IJS easy to find, noting if you get lost, you can ask most locals for directions.
Brandon was ask - What is on the menu at the new location?

"Well, we are first and foremost coffee roasters, which is where our passion remains, but we are very excited to be offering a nice varity of menu items to our customers. For example we have fresh baked pastries, Chai drinks, Iced Coffee Drinks and many other breakfast options, plus interent (wireless) access for our customers. We do not offer eggs and ham, but one never knows, then again, based upon feedback from our customers, we are doing great. Then last, but not least and on behalf our entire family, we would really like to thank our customers who have stuck by our side during our move and the opening of IJS Cafe."
