Coffee is mid, baristas are RUDE. My friend has an ethnic name and when asked for it for her order was promptly laughed at by baristas. One of them commented to the other about how weird her name was. Not surprising for Carmel unfortunately but damn. Do not patronize this place

I was driving home from a road trip through Indiana and needed to stop for coffee. Whenever possible I support independent coffee shops and found Java House in Clay Terrace, just a couple few miles off my track. I stopped in for a black coffee to go.
I would rate my Java House coffee as below the quality of gas station coffee. At $4.15 I expected at the very least, a decent cup of coffee. But this was undrinkable to the point of being gross. I would have gotten a far better cup had I stopped at Speedway.
What rip off! If they are willing to cheat you on something as basic as black coffee, I assume that the rest of their offerings are made with the absolute cheapest, institutional ingredients on the market. No way will I return.

I love their coffee house at Clay Terrace! It is spacious, the staff is fast and polite and the atmosphere it always fun. I do business and social meetings here. They have plenty of space to host larger meetings too.

Only been to this location twice. First time I ordered a matcha lemonade with raspberry flavoring. Was delicious and service was great. But today I went and ordered a green mama drink and when I was driving home and tasting it I thought it was only milk. Well I got home and poured it out into a clear cup and what do ya know , I paid $6.54 for steamed milk. I am very disappointed I spent my money here

I am a huge fan of Java House, and am at one of their locations weekly if not daily. The coffee is great and I appreciate the local ownership. The managers and some of the employees at the Clay Terrace location, though, are routinely rude. It's often difficult to find a space, and I've been yelled at for sneaking back by the exit to take a quick calls a couple of times because it's so loud. Some of the workers are pretty cold. The West Elm street location is way friendlier and better vibe.

Was disappointed to find my bacon and egg sandwich to be very minimally filled. Small egg round, very little onion and limited bacon. That sandwich and coffee were not worth $12+.

Moldy coffee. Nothing is brewed fresh. The coffee and teas are brewed elsewhere and reheated at the location. This model is ripe for molded and bad coffee. Not fresh.

Legitimately the only coffee that I have paid for, and then thrown straight in the garbage. Disgusting.

This is a fine place to stop for a coffee. I find that it is a busy spot which makes for great business. I also find that the seating and atmosphere doesn’t lead to a place to unwind and relax. There are rooms for meetings if you need them.



Parking: Be prepared to walk however it’s not far.

The barista (Annabelle I believe?) was very kind and attentive. Gave very good recommendations that helped me enjoy my overall experience. :) the food was also very good and the specialty coffee I had was delightful. Atmosphere was also very good, everyone was busy but respectful about their volume. Which helped keep an active but calm environment.

How can you call yourself a coffe shop and don't have a simple espresso, it's like selling a car with no engine....
