Java Junction Coffee is the perfect place to start the day on a good note. The atmosphere is very pleasant, with soft music that sets the mood without being distracting—ideal for relaxing or getting some work done. Their coffee is delicious, carefully prepared, and the pastries… an absolute treat! 🥐😋
What impressed me the most was the kindness and respect of the staff—always willing to help, even considering that my English is not the best. I felt welcome and comfortable here, which I truly appreciate.
If you're looking for a café with a great atmosphere, friendly service, and excellent coffee, this is the place. As long as I’m in the neighborhood, this will be MY café. ☕😊

How establishments expect a tip when the are lazy and act as if helping a physically challenged customer put a lid on their beverage is not in their job description is totally unacceptable. If u are physically challenged. Beware if you intend to be treated as a person

My preference for coffee in Seabright :) Coffee is good, staff is lovely, what else can you ask for early in the morning?
Kid-friendliness: Kid steamer is a thing in the system :) It's reassuring that you'll get it in the right temperature for a kid when it's an option they can put in the computer.

First time to the spot, although it's nearby. The people I was with said it was the busiest they'd ever seen it.The layout is quite nice. The metal chairs are super uncomfortable, which I suppose is good if a business doesn't want customers lounging around for very long; but as a customer, not pleasant seating.They've got a pretty extensive menu of connosiur coffees to foofoo coffeeesque sugar shakes, which are popular with Americans, and some nice food items, including the yummy avocado toast I had.Although it didn't seem crazy busy, as I initially mentioned, the people I was with said it was the busiest they'd seen it, which they figured explained 1) it taking quite a while between ordering and receiving coffees and 2) getting one of our coffee orders wrong.We're all only human, so I won't hold anything the delays or mistake against them. I would try this spot again, and could see it being a decent go to cafe for meet ups. An investment in more comfortable seating would be nice to see though.
Wheelchair accessibility: There's a wheelchair ramp.
Super friendly staff and a great choice of coffee and pastry

Came here to get some work done on a weekend afternoon and it was an okay experience. The staff here were nice and friendly.I ordered their Tropical Mango Smoothie ($10) and it was 16 oz of goodness. You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck from this cafe.Work wise - it's not as conducive as I had hoped. There is wifi available but no outlets to charge any devices. They also had the doors propped open which made it a bit breezy inside, and during winter, a bit cooler than I was comfortable with personally.Beware - there's also no restroom available and they sent me to Seabright Social next door, where I snuck in to use it and promptly left.Small parking lot available in the back with tight parking spots.

Everything they do at this location they do well. As someone who lives nearby I wish they stayed open later. I think it could be a great spot in the community for people to study/work in the afternoon, and maybe host some artists.

Java Junction has excellent chai lattes - they make their own chai and it’s unsweetened, so I can add just a little sugar to make it perfect.

Be prepared to wait 30 minutes for a mediocre bagel sandwich that won't match what your ordered. I live down the street and only go in times of extreme desperation and laziness and always regret it. It's a good place to go it you want to be annoyed. You can drive to the bagelry, get a bagel, go to Safeway and make your own sandwich in the time it takes these people to make a coffee, which by the way is very watered down.

A café with soul and excellent flavor ☕✨
