If you live in Nashville and have not yet had a cup of Bongo Java, then you are definitely missing out on “the good life” here in Nashville, TN. As I am sitting here this morning, reading the latest GIS blogs and drinking my coffee of course, I thought to myself “what a great freaking cup of coffee this is.” Of course, it could be the week of below freezing temps making me have these stale and not so interesting thoughts. At this point, anything warm would be enjoyable to me. Now, back to the coffee dude. Bongo Java is unique to the city of Nashville and has an interesting story behind it. Bongo is the oldest, most celebrated, locally owned coffeehouse in town and has created quite a following among its customers. Some of you may have heard of Bongo Java in 1996 when the coffeehouse made national headlines after discovering one of their cinnamon buns looked very similar to Mother Teresa. Yes its true… The bun became instantly famous, world-wide, taking on the name “The Nun Bun”. Bongo Java also roasts their own coffee beans and sells/ships their beans to restaurants and other coffeehouses nation-wide. I would be interested to know just how far-off they send this coffee geographically. Next time you are enjoying coffee at your favorite place, other than Starbucks, check out who is roasting the coffee. You never know, you may have been drinking Bongo Java all along.
