Giant Coffee Carafe Bar-Bob's Jave Jive

A quick, nostalgic stop that's pure roadside Americana. If you love quirky architecture, this one's worth the detour. Built in 1927, the Java Jive is one of Washington's most iconic roadside attractions. Shaped like a giant coffee pot, it's one of the few remaining examples of novelty architecture from the early automobile era and has been a beloved Tacoma landmark for generations. It's also appeared in films, including 10 Things I Hate About You.
