Amazing coffee & tea selections.. they are all Fair trade, kosher, & small batch.
The young ladies at the counter are sweet enough to brighten anyone's mood and get your day started off right!
Also, they have new vegan &/or gluten-free pastry options that are mouth-watering 🤤 ☕

The staff is fantastic, and the food is even better! The breakfast burrito was one of the best I’ve ever had—fresh, flavorful, and filling. This will definitely be a regular stop for me. Be prepared for a bit of a line on Friday mornings, but it moves quickly and is absolutely worth the wait.

Be so for real right now. $11 for a tossed together breakfast croissant I couldn’t even pick up and eat, half burned? $6 for crunchy mocha powder not stirred up floating in my ice mocha? In this economy? With subpar service that got worse when I only tipped $2 on my to-go order? Atmosphere is 10/10 but won’t go back. Too many coffee places in this town to settle for this.

Every single time I go here I end up waiting so long just for a simple drink and pastry. They never have enough people working. I don't even attempt to order food anymore. Plus, the food and pastries are literally terrible and overpriced.
The atmosphere is really, really nice, but that's all it has going for it.

The place is so cute and the vibes are everything but I’m a bit disappointed at the service. I probably stood for a solid 5 minutes before someone came to the counter to take my order and then waited 15 minutes for a chicken salad sandwich to go. I have loved their coffees and pastries but not impressed with waiting times and the croissant was super soggy.

Stopped in with my family today, wanting to get breakfast and a coffee. When we entered there was one girl up front and another just went in the back rolling her eyes. The girl working at the counter had her hands full, juggling taking orders, cleaning tables and making drinks, I felt so bad for her. The food we ordered was over priced and not very good or flavorful and our coffees were unfortunately not good either. We got two café au laits and it tasted like watered down milk, I'm not sure if they forgot to put coffee in or what but it was really bad. At the end of the day we spent 45 dollars and it wasn't worth it. It's a beautiful location but the food and drinks need work. And the employees working there- aside from the sweet girl working the counter all need better attitudes.

My husband and I stopped into Java for the first time. We each had a breakfast croissant and it was so good! The croissant was so buttery and the thick cut bacon was delicious. It was quite busy but the staff were very nice and attentive. I can’t wait to eat there again. Highly recommend!

This place is so cute — the decor is seriously next level. Hanging flowers, cozy booths, and a bar setup that looks like it came out of a design magazine. Definitely Instagram worthy.
Drinks were good, but a bit on the expensive side, and service was kinda slow. Not a huge deal if you’re just chilling or catching up with friends, but maybe not the best if you’re in a hurry.
Overall, a great vibe-y spot if you’re in the mood to treat yourself and take it slow.
