    We checked in today and they're not open yet. Said they'd be open tomorrow morning. Looks great! Lots of ice cream flavors, shave ice (the snowy kind like in Hawaii, not the Sno-Cone kind), but maybe not coffee at first because they're waiting for a part. I hope this one stays open!

    They're open! Yea! Everything we used to enjoy at Hawaiian Scoop plus shave ice with LOTS of flavors! The part for the espresso-drink machine is still on order. They also have wi-fi there, and a few pastries that looked good too. They said they'd be at Broadlands Live with their shave ice machine too. I think it's a winner!

    I hope those guys make it. They've got a terrible location. Not only does Ashburn Road get less traffic ever since its closure at Rt. 7 *AND* the extension of Claiborne all the way to Rt. 7, but also their storefront doesn't even face the street. You can't see them from the road. As Comic Book Guy might say, "worst retail location ever."

    The fact that they serve coffee and food might help some. I know I'll try to get some friends together and go check it out.

    Thanks Java Jones! I had asked about gift certificates - I'm still hoping you might be able to offer them before school gets out!

    Java Jones has declared a heat advisory for this weekend!


    In order to help keep Ashburn cool (especially our friends on the broadlands forum), we are offering 50% off a large shave ice!

    Come this weekend (6/6, 6/7, 6/8) and mention this post to receive 50% of a large shave ice! We have 30+ flavors. One per family.

    What are the store hours? Do they serve the Dole softserve everyday? I presume that's the pineapple flavor.

    We went to Hawaiian Scoop before, but on the wrong day, so we were not able to get the pineapple ice cream I wanted to try.

    The flavors in the softserve change. I 've been when they had orange and raspeberrry and went yesterday and had the pineapple.

    I think they open for 7-9 on weekdays and 7-10 or something like that on Saturday.

    Hey BTTW...I don't think The family gets online much, so perhaps you should call them. Also here is a great link http://www.goashburn.com/ you might find it on here.

    Or you could just go over and get some yummy's today and get your answer and give them some business, too:)

    Hello everyone!

    I will try to post our Dole flavors. There are so many great ones, it's hard to keep everyone happy. lol

    Pineapple is the most popular, so we try to keep that as much as possible. Right now we have Pineapple and Strawberry. Hope to see everyone soon!

    redon1--

    Where is Java Jones? Is in "old" Ashburn or Broadlands/Ashburn areas?
    It sounds good. Kids would love a good treat from a local business.

    Thanks,

    Foodie:)

    I found out this info on a foodie forum that I blog on (besides Broadlands);) about a foodservice company where you can mail order the Dole Whip flavored shaved ice.

    I think it is best to eat at Java Jones. We frequent local businesses too. We will try it next week when we are all back to normal:shakehead:--when hubby is back from England:blahblah:.

    Where is Java Jones? Anyway here is some background from the forums that I frequent about Dole Whip. The Dole Whip apparently comes in 7 flavors. Chocolate, Strawberry, Raspberry, Vanilla, Mango, Orange, and Pineapple. I guess you can also swirl the flavors--right?

    Web sites are below for info--

    www.precisionfoods.com (Precision Foods site/info. Read the info and nutrition facts.)

    www.uec-hawaii.com/products2.html (Unified Enterprises Corporation's site/info.)

    Unified Enterprises offers mail order for the mixes and click on info on how to make at home. Personally, I will stick to Java Jones after all these great reviews!
