Isle of Java is the name of the coffee stand that was just over the bridge from the Oasis, did they rename that upon the opening of this new facility?

"The new kiosk is a permanent home to the former Isle of Java cart that was located near the tip board on Discovery Island."

Thank god it's not another Starbucks!

However, that's a pretty limited coffee menu, I hope the one just listed as 'Coffee' isn't instant.

That menu is pretty much on par with the other Joffrey's locations on property. I think Joffrey's sticks to the coffee basics that most people know and that they can crank out pretty fast. And no, it's not instant. They do their own roasting, sourcing, blending etc. Any coffee on property that isn't from a Starbucks branded location, or Kona cafe (I think, maybe all of Poly?) is now Joffrey's instead of Nescafe. Which means the CS CMs now get to deal with large carafes instead of the push button machines they had in the past.

Actually no, that menu isn't like the Joffrey's locations. Because it isn't a Joffrey's, it's Disney.

Look at the receipt, the cups, the lack of the trademark Joffrey's giant donuts, the absence of the special holiday lattes that all the other Joffrey's have right now, etc, etc.

The coffee itself may be Joffrey's product (not sure), but the stand is not a Joffrey's run location like the many others around property.

Looks pretty good.
Love the frog lattice on the window.

So what's going into the old Creature Comforts?
Is that still going to be a Starbucks?

As someone who has worked in Quick Service Food and Beverage, before Starbucks opened, all coffee at Disney was switched to Joffrey's. No one insinuated they were Joffrey's locations... But all Coffees are fresh brewed into giant coffee cambros. Filter, beans, and all. By Joffrey's.

Glad to hear it's decent fresh(ish) coffee these days.
Memories of instant Nescafe junk are obviously deeply scared into me.

Just seeing the pots, unless the are clearly labelled it's not obvious that someone hasn't mixed up a gallon of instant either.
