Theo's Java Café offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, with exceptional sandwiches, coffee, prices, and staff. The building has a charming, nostalgic ambiance, and the people behind the counter are delightful, passionate, and professional. The food and coffee are highlights, with the 12-ounce Americano and cold brew coffee being particularly recommended. The recent remodel has refreshed the café, and the early morning service is fantastic, making it a favorite spot for locals to enjoy.
Theo's has a variety of beverage options beyond just coffee, including kombucha, tea, and beer. The coffee is well-balanced, not overly roasted, and flavorful. The portions are generous, with customers reporting getting multiple meals out of a single breakfast burrito. The café has ample seating, both inside and in a separate performance venue with a stage, catering to different needs like studying or enjoying live music.
The prices are fair, and the menu offers a wide selection, including a popular 2-2-2 breakfast. However, there have been some concerns about the kitchen closing earlier than the café's operating hours, leading to customers being denied food service. The staff is generally praised, but one customer had an issue with not receiving a promised coffee refill.
