Jumpin' Jack's Java Oceanview Cafe

New Hampshire


Although this friendly place got its start as a drive-thru coffeehouse, today it's also known for its tasty pastries and sandwiches, with cheese-and-egg specialties for breakfast and everything from seafood salad to turkey-and-cheese to a meatball sandwich for lunch. As for coffee, the jackocino is a pleasing coffee-and-hot-chocolate combo. It's right across from the beach.
