Bermuda Dunes Coffee Shop Launches World Cup Watch Parties and Themed Menu
BERMUDA DUNES, California — Soccer enthusiasm is taking over the East Valley as the 2026 FIFA World Cup officially gets underway this week, prompting local businesses to roll out the red carpet for regional sports fans. For residents looking for a lively community atmosphere to take in the global tournament, Just Java Coffee in Bermuda Dunes has transformed into a premier desert hub for tournament watch parties.
Located at 42102 Washington Street, the locally owned coffee house is leaning heavily into the international soccer spirit with a specialized, tournament-themed menu. In addition to their traditional espresso lineups and signature specialty drinks, the cafe is serving up authentic, fresh-baked homemade Argentinian empanadas to fuel fans during the high-stakes matches.
The watch party schedule launches in full force today, Thursday, June 11, 2026, as co-host nation Mexico renews its classic international rivalry against South Africa in a highly anticipated Group A opening match, which kicks off at 12:00 p.m. Local fans who cannot sneak away from work for the midday opener are already eyeing tomorrow’s marquee matchup. On Friday, June 12th, the United States Men’s National Team is scheduled to make its tournament debut against Paraguay, with that high-profile match kicking off at 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
Just Java administrators confirmed they will have the games streaming live on screens inside the comfortable dining area throughout the multi-week tournament, welcoming anyone who wants to drop in and wear their team's colors. Meanwhile, NBC Palm Springs will provide comprehensive, on-the-scene coverage of the tournament's opening weekend. Sports anchor Brett Rosen is live in Los Angeles tracking the fan festivals and team updates, with full reports airing tonight during the 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. broadcasts.
