There have been great changes at Elizabeth's Top O' the Mornin' Donut Shop since they first opened their doors.

Scheduled to open in September 2014, Judy's Java Joint will offer gourmet coffee and tea in a cozy, inviting space in the Ruthfred Shopping Center in Bethel Park. Locally owned and operated by Judy Gramm (with lots of help from her family) who has been a resident of Bethel Park for over 17 years.

In addition to offering specialty coffees and teas (hot and cold), Judy's Java Joint hopes to be known for its family-friendly environment. There will be espresso drinks for the ultimate coffee lovers as well as smoothies, hot chocolate and Italian sodas for the younger crowd! Fresh pastries, including biscotti, bagels, cookies, cakes, and pies, will be available daily.

Of course there will be free Wi-Fi for those who wish to just sit and relax for a bit!

So be on the lookout for the "Open Now" flag to wave at Judy's Java Joint in the Ruthfred Shopping Center, 3400 South Park Road in Bethel Park!
