BEST SMOOTHIE: Jammin Java

It’s a tiny joint with a short smoothie menu, but the drinks are delish. We’re particularly fond of the Banana Mango, Peach Pear Plus and Pineapple Madness concoctions. We’re equally fond of the drive-thru, at which we get our drinks lickety-split without leaving the comfort of our cars. If smoothies aren’t your thing, try a simple coffee or a more complex espresso drink. And for a bit more sustenance, snag some pecan coffee cake, a double chocolate chunk muffin (um … YUM!) or a cheese Danish. 3601 W. Gandy Blvd., Tampa, 813-837-2737.
