Our Story

A place that doesn't rush you out.

Jumbo Ices opened its doors on VanHouten Avenue with a simple conviction: that a great drink deserves time, and a great neighborhood deserves a place worth staying in.

By morning, we're a coffee bar — careful pours, local milk, pastries from nearby bakeries, and the kind of quiet that makes the newspaper worth reading. By evening, the lighting softens, the music shifts, and we become a cocktail bar — still unhurried, still yours.

We don't do loud. We don't do crowded. We do good coffee, thoughtful drinks, and a table that's waiting for you.

The Space

Designed for
the lingering.

Every seat at Jumbo Ices was chosen with one question in mind: does this make the experience better? Natural light floods the windows in the morning. In the evening, warm amber tones replace the daylight. The music is never an intrusion — just a quiet companion.

Whether you're working from your laptop, reading a book, or leaning into conversation across the table, the space adjusts to you. That's the Jumbo Ices promise.
