Disappointing Experience with In-House Barista

I visited this café two days in a row, hoping for a quality coffee experience, but unfortunately, both visits were disappointing.

On the first day, a staff member prepared a pour-over using 21g of coffee and 300g of water, yet it took over 5 minutes to brew — far longer than expected. On the second attempt, it took more than 6 minutes. The coffee was served lukewarm, and the flavor was extremely weak, almost like water. I ordered two cups back-to-back, hoping the second would be better, but it wasn’t.

I returned the next day to speak with a manager or supervisor. However, it seemed they sent someone who was neither — just a staff member filling in. After I pointed out the brewing issues, they offered to remake the drinks.

For the espresso, they used a light roast but didn’t adjust the grind size accordingly. The result was a thin, flavorless espresso with no crema. I then requested a medium roast shot, which finally met a basic espresso standard.

As for the pour-over, it again arrived too cool, and as it cooled further, it became bitter and unpleasant. Overall, the lack of attention to technique and basic coffee standards was disappointing — especially from a place that seems to pride itself on specialty coffee.

Good coffee and dining

Great service

Excellent quality through the entire experience. My wife had a decaf latte that was so good we ended up buying a 5lb bag of the beans. I had a regular latte, a pour over, and a siphon. All were amazing. The blackberry scone, fantastic as well. Don was a wonderful host and really knew his stuff. I saved this shop to my Google maps so I could come again.

Yum!
First time there.
Felt like the 90s, people were on their laptops taking care of business!
We love Kuppa Joy!
Mmmmmm blended Hallelujah!

Fantastic local chain serving great coffee and small food choices.

Friendly employees and a great atmosphere.

All the workers are so so friendly and kind and the atmosphere is great whether you’re doing bible study, hanging out with friends, or doing homework! Food and coffee is so fantastic.

Any time we come to Fresno, Kuppa Joy is a MUST! It is really good coffee! Everyone is so friendly, and despite it being busy, I have not had to wait a long time for my order. I also love the merch and just the overall atmosphere when I walk in; it's warm and welcoming.
