3.2 The Dark Roast Java Menu

The Dark Roast Java menu sets us apart from other coffeehouses, giving us a competitive edge.

  • We offer six groups of drinks - coffee, tea, Italian sodas, smoothies, juice and cocoa - with several choices within each group. This enables us to provide more variety than our competitors while keeping the preparation of the drinks easy to execute.

  • We are taking advantage of the immense popularity of flavored drinks and Chai tea by offering a product mix that includes items the other coffeehouses don't carry as well as more familiar drinks.

  • We are the only coffeehouse to have a wide range of gourmet hot cocoa.

  • Dark Roast Java offers several smoothie drinks and Italian sodas.

  • We carry the highest quality fresh juices.

Prices have been determined after a thorough analysis of all food costs for every item in each drink. In some cases, an average price has been calculated and applied to all similar drinks in order to keep the menu from confusing the customer.
