About Us

Refreshment Revival

The heart of Spinning J is a 1928 soda fountain bar, saved from demolition and reassembled in our shop. Take a seat on a bar stool, and enjoy a handmade celery soda, a Thai tea milkshake, or a great cup of coffee. Our roots are vintage, but our menu isn’t frozen in time.

Please Note

Thanksgiving Pies!

We are no longer accepting pre-orders for Thanksgiving pies.
However, we will be baking as many extra pies as possible for pickup on Tuesday 11/20, Wednesday 11/21, and Thanksgiving Day (open until noon on 11/22).

Pies are first come first serve. You must be present at the shop to claim a pie. We sadly cannot hold pies, even with a credit card.

We'll be offering the following pies all week, and making lots of extras, so swing by if you were unable to order early:

  • Roasted Pumpkin
  • Chocolate Bourbon Pecan
  • Cranberry Yuzu Meringue
  • Key Lime Hibiscus with Blueberry Compote
  • S'mores

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Spinning J!
