DRINK IN THE VIEW--The Pink Java
Café is modern coffee bar along state highway 89A, the main artery through the
heart of Sedona Arizona. The “A” stands
for “alternative” route that runs between the towns of Flagstaff (through
Sedona and onto Jerome) and Prescott.
The 84-mile long route follows old trails through the north/central part
of Arizona. State Route 89A is a
metaphor for the changing beauty of this southwestern state. It has been branded the first scenic road
designation in the state as its collective switchbacks traverse forests of
mountain pine, stunning canyons, jutting red sandstone formations and scorching
desert basins. 
It
was the view of the red rock towers outside Sedona from the patio of the Pink
Java Café that captured our attention.
The coffee shop is convenient, small, and can easily be overwhelmed with
tourists like us. HOWEVER, the café’s patio
area is a true oasis for travelers, who need a spot of shade and restroom
facilities nearby. We arrived early in
the morning and landed a table to go with a frothy lattes and chocolate
croissants. It is a storefront to die
for: da view, da view, da view!
In
addition to its popular Panini menu, Pink Java serves Ritual Ground Coffee that
is roasted in Vista, CA. It’s the same
brand that is served at the Circa Espresso Bar in Tucumcari, AZ.
The
café gets its name because it is located in Pink Jeep Plaza, a multi-purpose
building that houses the home of the wildly popular “pink” jeep tours in the
area. From the café’s patio you’ll see
the pink jeeps heading out into the canyons surrounding Sedona. And from a
distance look like pink ladybugs in a row.
