Cuppa Jo

Story

Would you like a Cuppa Jo?

The exact origin of the phrase is not known but there are a few possible theories of where these two words may have got together to mean "a cup of coffee".

1 One possible origin lies in the birth of America's taste for coffee, which developed in the 19th century after tea was no longer available from British merchants. The phrase may have come into the American English language via a misunderstanding of the French word chaud, which means "hot" and is pronounced similarly.

2 "Cup of joe" is an American nickname for coffee. The phrase goes back to the mid-1840s, and is of unclear origin, though it is possibly short for "Old Black Joe," the title of a popular Stephen Foster song.

3 "Joe" is related to either the use of Joe as the common man (coffee is the common man's drink) or as a derivative of Java. -sources: YahooAnswers, Wikipedia, Answerbag

..but most importantly for us, it means a place for you to relax, chill, have a cuppa, enjoy mouth-watering cuisine to love, and cool down with icy drinks in the scorching sun of Sydney. True story!
