Come and celebrate as Jitters Coffee Pub turns their newly renovated space and parking lot into an all-day Summer Bash on Saturday, July 12 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m! This community-wide celebration marks the official launch of Jitters’ extended hours and event calendar – and you won’t want to miss it! The new hours allow customers to enjoy a full entertainment schedule including live music, comedy nights, DJ sets, workshops, Taco Tuesdays, and more at their favorite coffee spot. Bringing together the community further cements Jitters as a third space that bridges the gap between home and work. This revamp comes after a partnership with culinary visionary Felix Alcaide of One Kitchen Collaborative and GRAMMY Award-winning musician and local resident, Jason Mraz. They both sparked a new chapter at Jitters that includes a renovation, a reimagined menu, and a calendar full of exciting events. All together this elevates the coffee pub that has served the community for over 30 years into a space that will continue to house good vibes for years to come.
