Paid $15 for a very small vegan wrap - their only vegan offering - with a teaspoon of hummus and a hint of pesto on it, and a wrap and lettuce and tomato. I had to drown it in tapatio to make it taste like anything. I wish it was better. To not have real vegan food or pastry options in 2026 is just disappointing. The peppermint mocha was tasty! But vegans - i do not recommend coming here to eat.

Great coffee and a truly energizing experience. I stopped by Java, asked a few questions about the coffee, tried their recommendation — and it genuinely woke me up in the best way. You can tell they care about quality and know what they’re serving.

The place has a very cool, relaxed San Francisco vibe — cozy, atmospheric, and authentic. Perfect spot to reset, think, or just enjoy a really good cup of coffee. Definitely coming back.

Java Beach is walking distance from work. They always have delicious items like the Irish Soda Bread, chicken coconut curry soup and soft serve ice cream. The staff are ALWAYS nice and the owners are generous with their donations : )

The Irish soda bread with fresh strawberries and blueberries and cold brew were all fantastic. Got a nice table outside. Staff is really sweet, will return!

Chill coffee spot near the Zoo. Their menu included bagels, bran muffins, breakfast burritos, sandwiches and salads.

The food is good, but nearly $60 for 3 sandwiches is extortionate.

Small portions for the charged price. $7 cold brew with half the glass being ice. Like another review said, the bacon burrito is extremely small and for only being egg, cheese, and bacon the price of $15.50 is ridiculous. The cafe is an old make-shift kitchen. Weird place, definitely not coming back.

I thought about giving this 2 stars, but chose 3 only because this seems to be the norm anymore. But I won't be returning. Big changes for this coffee shop. Menu seriously slimmed down by 1/3 rd. Now order from a kiosk but the platform does not allow you to make "any edits". What's on the menu board is what you get, no add's or deletes to the item. Prices went up another $1.50 for a sandwich. I get a price increase but with the increase the quantity dropped. Sandwich's had 2 slices of meat, 1 slice of cheese, huge roll and lot's of lettuce and 2 slices of tomatoes. Sorry Java Beach, for me between the new menu, kiosk, price increase and now less quantity / quality, I won't be returning. And the cleanliness needs to also be revisited.

PLAN OPEN @@ NITE==9PM??CONSIDER NEW SUNSET 🌇 DUNES PARK CROWD.ZERO OTHER NEARBY COMPETITION.

Yum! Solid veggie burrito, was hot when I picked it up. Love the vibe, families, bikers, and folks playing chess inside and all one block away from the beach!
