For Irving, TX locals who enjoy a good book and a cup of coffee, Java Me Up must seem like paradise. Located next to the Valley Ranch Library, the coffee shop invites customers to bring their books and laptops, order a beverage, and relax in the café or patio. Java Me Up offers a variety of coffee and specialty drinks, teas, and smoothies. If you get hungry, the shop also offers sandwiches and pastries made fresh daily from only the best ingredients.
Once you have your beverage and a snack, head out to the patio area to enjoy the fresh air and scenery. Pets are welcome on the patio, so you don’t have to leave your furry friends at home. On the weekends, there is often entertainment out on the patio, making Java Me Up a great option for Irving locals to visit for a relaxing afternoon. If the patio gets too hot, head inside where you can relax in the “comfort zone,” surrounded by artwork from local artists.
Patricia Ward, who owns and operates Java Me Up, started her career a pastry chef, but her goal was to own her own café. She decided to follow her dream, and on October 6, 2007 she opened Java Me Up. The café has become popular with Irving locals, and in 2015 it was voted “Best Coffee Shop” on the Dallas A-List.
