Absolutely fantastic meal at Java River Café & Bakery!
I stopped in and tried the meatloaf burger with the homemade ketchup glaze, along with their homemade tomato basil tortellini soup, and both were incredible. The burger was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor — true comfort food done right. Chose to go with no bun. Homemade broccoli salad was the perfect side dish as well. The soup tasted fresh and homemade, rich with basil and creamy tomato goodness, and the tortellini added a perfect touch. Truly embraced the farm to table taste I look for in cooking and restaurants.
An employee then had me try their best selling cookie. A homemade CHOCOLATE CHIP with BANANA cookie. Instantly, made me feel like my mom’s banana bread, but in cookie form. Highly recommend this to everyone.
The café itself has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and attentive. You can really tell they put care into every dish and every detail. I’ll definitely be coming back — this place is a gem in Keokuk!

Great little place. I had the taco salad, it was delish. All their coffee and lattes and espresso are fresh made. Very good quality, great service

Best breakfast and coffee in town! Lunch is fabulous, and take and bakes for dinner are always a hit. So thankful to have this restaurant in Keokuk.

Broccoli salad was super tasty. Sandwich was good but not anything spectacular, a Mother's Day special. I'm not a fan of sweetness in main entrees. Cutest women's bathroom I've seen in a very long time. Counter service was good. The young man busboy was great and checked on me at my table. The drink was a sugar free Spring seltzer. $17

The cream horn stole the show! Delicious cream, flaky crust, and smooth chocolate. Warmed up, perfection! The maple scone paired perfectly with the hot maple latte.
This spot is clearly a local hot spot. Comfy seating, unlimited drink menu and homemade treats!
Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite and 1 small town at a time. Explore everything!

First time visiting the area and stopped here for lunch friday and had the salmon melt. By far the best food I have had at a coffee place in over a decade and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly! You almost don't want to leave because it's a very welcoming atmosphere where there is no judgment and everyone is just super friendly. I will definitely be coming back here again!

Walk in or drive through, It's quick efficient and easy...I have yet to dine in but, I've felt a good vibe so I'm sure it will be joyous as well...Prices may be a little steep for my blood, However it's quality and a small business so I'll keep going.
Stopped in for brunch while passing through on a mother-daughter girls trip and will absolutely make an effort to come back when I'm in the area again. Incredibly delicious for very reasonable prices. The buscuits and gravy breakfast sandwhich, aka The Harold, was to die for. My mom went back and bought another one to go. Really, everything we tried was at minimum good if not exceptional.

Java River has always been my favorite but she's out done herself with the Best Dam Tenderloins me n my family have ever had. They're huge and the breading is super yummy... Let me tell you about the onion rings and fries too. The are salted to perfection.

we love the mix of modern and old school, family restaurant style flavors. the staff is very friendly. it feels like a place my Grandma would have taken me

As a venue owner, we're always thrilled when a bride books Java River! Their catering quality & service are top notch! As a customer, I'm always thrilled when I can stop into Java River for my favorite coffee, Butter Beer, hot or cold, it's my fave! I often stop in to buy treats to gift my doctor's office staff, friends, and family!

Cozy, classy, yummy! The toast was buttered with something that was not butter... that's the only complaint!
