One of the best breakfast spots in downtown and the friendliest staff in New Haven. Only wish they were open on weekends.

Chill little spot with good coffee, good breakfast sandwiches and friendly staff. Quick and easy in and out on your way to the office, and calm and lowkey for when you want to grab a coffee and relax.

I stumbled upon Java coffee about a month ago when I decided to try a cortado for the first time. They have basically become a part of my morning routine, 1 cortado, 2 sugars & cinnamon(incase you want to try lol) anyways the cashier is very Nice and so is the barista! I haven't tried any food yet, but I plan to stop for lunch soon. Thank you all for serving in excellence! 5/5 for me!!!

The staff was so great, the small seating area was great and the food was really good! Breakfast only on Friday and it was worth it.

This was an absolute find. I’ve lived in downtown New Haven for 3 years and I’m so sad it too me that long to find this great little cafe that blends right into a corporate building. I highly recommend this place for the food, price and service. The staff is extremely welcoming and willing to be flexible with their menu if they have the ingredients to make you something you like. They do breakfast and lunch Mondays thru Fridays.Here’s my food reviews for today on a 1-10 scale:- Sausage, Egg and Cheese on Portuguese roll: 7.9- Chicken Cutlet Panini: 8.3 (looks simple but really tasty)- Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup: 9.3- My wife enjoyed her coffee: 9.0Thanks to Cathy, Josh, Curt and Bruce for being neighborly. Kudos to Bruce with the homemade soups. Apparently they have like a 30 soup rotation and do New England clam chowder every Thursday.I’ll be back again and again.

** Family-owned**, this Cafe is truly a cut above the rest. Friendly, personalized service - and excellent food. Today, I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich with goat cheese. It's got a great kick to it. Delicious! And my everyday ordered "latte w/ almond milk" actually makes starting my day easier. This place is a real gem. Great people, great food.. and excellent, excellent service.

Had the Lentil and Sausage soup with Reuben on Rye. Food was great. $12 sandwich and $5.50 for soup. The soup was excellent. Full of flavor. Reuben was great also. Overall, well worth the 1/2 mile walk from Yale to visit this spot. It was full of locals also. Staff very personable! Stop here if you want a great lunch.
