“I just had an amazing experience at Pleasure Point Juice, definitely my new favorite spot! I tried their spinach, cucumber, and pineapple juice, and it was absolutely delicious. The combination was so refreshing and flavorful, and you could tell the ingredients were super fresh. I also had their strawberry agua fresca (which, if you’ve never had one, is a traditional Mexican drink made by blending fruit with water, sugar, and a little lime—light, sweet, and so hydrating!). It was the perfect balance of sweetness and tang.

But it’s not just the drinks that impressed me. I also tried their tacos, and they were so good! The flavors were on point, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. Honestly, the food alone would be enough to keep me coming back, but paired with the refreshing drinks, this place is a total winner.

I highly recommend Please Point Juice, whether you’re looking for a healthy juice, a flavorful agua fresca, or just a delicious meal. This place is a gem!“

“Good place to grab a coffee only steps away from the beach. They offer fun and inventive coffees, such as thin mint and raspberry truffle mochas, alongside everything else you'd expect. In addition to coffee, they offer bagels, pastries, and other snacks. The staff are friendly, and the drinks are good, but I did have an issue when my mocha wasn't stirred, as well as my friend's on one of the visits. Overall, it's a good place to grab a coffee, and the location is unbeatable.“

“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.“
