Coffee lovers in the Turks and Caicos Islands now have a quicker, more convenient way to get their daily fix.
Java Blu, the islands’ first-ever drive-thru coffee shop, officially opened on August 2 at the Venetian Roundabout on Leeward Highway—bringing a blend of speed, flavor, and friendly service to the heart of Providenciales.
Founded by husband-and-wife team Paul Horton and Carmela Giordano, Java Blu is designed for busy locals and visitors alike, offering high-quality coffee, iced beverages, and grab-and-go bites—all from the comfort of your car.
A New Way to Start the Day
With its streamlined drive-thru setup and thoughtfully crafted menu, Java Blu offers a modern twist on the traditional coffee experience. Guests can choose from a variety of drinks—from piping hot lattes to chilled cold brews—along with a selection of fresh snacks perfect for mornings on the move.
“We wanted to create something that simplifies your morning or afternoon routine—something that delivers great taste and great service without slowing you down,” says Carmela Giordano. “Java Blu is all about giving people a quick, uplifting experience—one cup at a time.”
A Vision Realized
The concept for Java Blu was born from the couple’s travels and observations of how effective drive-thru cafés were in other islands and countries. After years of research, planning, and careful design, they’ve tailored the idea specifically for the Turks and Caicos lifestyle.
“This idea has been in the works for a long time, and we’re incredibly proud to see it finally open,” says Paul Horton. “We wanted to build something that felt right for Turks and Caicos—practical, welcoming, and rooted in local needs. With so many people commuting daily along this highway, it just made sense.”
Community-Centered and Customer-Focused
In addition to quality and speed, Java Blu is rolling out a customer loyalty program, rewarding frequent guests with discounts, perks, and exclusive offers. The brand also emphasizes fast, friendly service at every step.
“Drive in, pick up, and sip up—that’s our promise,” Horton adds. “We’re here to serve the community, and we’re committed to doing it with care and consistency.”
