Outdoor Pool JCafé
This summer we're proud to again be serving up delicious, fresh, and Kosher food by the pool all season long. Five days a week, from Sunday through Thursday, our full menu will be available, with grab-and-go-options ready for you to enjoy on Fridays and Saturdays.
The JCafé by the Outdoor Pool will be open seven days a week through the end of the season on Labor Day, September 7 with one exception: we'll be closed Thursday, July 23, for Tisha B'Av.
Check out both menus before your next visit!
