My weekly Tuesday lunch for several years now. The great food makes me return but the amazing staff makes me enjoy my experience every time.

Closest Coffee Shop (0.5 miles) from where I work M-F which is savior to me whenever I forget my daily coffee from home. I race to Java Junction grab a cold brew/specialty coffee drink, or house depending on how I feel & either a hard boiled egg, Zucchini bread, Almond crescent. There are plenty of choices.The staff are always smiling, friendly atmosphere seating inside and outside.

No restrooms available and no public restrooms nearby is weird. No plugs available for charging up. Coffee is good, what you expect from Java Junction, but I wouldn't return to this location.

This place always frustrates me as their drinks are literally good but service is so bad, that I have waited 5-10 mins on counter just to make an order (was standing on the counter that long) and a cafe without restrooms inside is just a bummer in all honesty like we humans need to be able to use restrooms in business establishments this is basic

Stopped in for a sweet treat. Brownie was yummy. Spent some time reading my book. Staff was friendly, and there was plenty of seating inside and outside.

Gone pretty far down hill and have no bathrooms for anyone to use. It’s visible but they tell you to leave and go to world market or chipotle, disabled or not. Terrible chai

Great customer service, but the food was mediocre. 3 stars because the food and ingredients used do not match the price point. I got the Turkey Cranberry and the bread was not toasted, very bland mediocre ingredients and the cranberry sauce was straight from a jar and not spreadable by any means. There’s potential, but it’s just not there yet.

Ordered a matcha latte. They charged for every little customization, making it $9. Then, it was disgusting and chalky. Evidently it doesn’t come sweetened. It was unsinkable. I asked if they could add sweetener. They wanted to charge another $1. They also have no bathroom for customers. I won’t be back.

They are always efficient and polite. The coffee is worth stopping for

Really good food and coffee here. I had the turkey cranberry sandwich and it was very good. We also got the strawberry smoothie which hit the spot. The stars of the show might just be the flavored coffees. Snickers mocha and the Milky Way mocha were so good. We are coming back for sure. And the inside is very clean and spacious. There is also an outside patio. Plenty of parking. I highly recommend this spot.
