My aunt and I visited this coffee shop early this morning, and we were clearly the first customers of the day. Upon entering, we both greeted the two older women behind the counter. Despite the shop being very small and quiet – there was no way they didn’t hear us. We were completely ignored. No eye contact, no acknowledgment, just a cold and indifferent atmosphere that crossed the border of rudeness.

Throughout our short visit, I was the only one saying yes and thank you. The lack of basic courtesy made us both feel very uncomfortable.

As for the food, our “toasted” bagels were barely warmed and only slightly browned on one corner. The coffee was mediocre best – not worth making a trip for.

We both left as soon as we finish, offering a polite, thank you and goodbye on our way out. Once again, we were met with silence. The only person who acknowledged us was a gentleman seated at another table (possibly one of the owners?), who returned our goodbye. Unfortunately, that small gesture wasn’t enough to save the experience.

Based on the cold service and lackluster food, we won’t be returning.

Grew up in Havre and I miss Java btb. Coffee shops like this don’t exist anymore. Miss just getting my coffee in peace without all the small talk.

Stumbled upon the cutest coffee shop in Harve de Grace, MD. Wide selection of flavored coffees and pastries. Adorable inside with nostalgic nic nacs to take you back to the good-old-days. The old time, feel-good music playing takes you back in time and puts all your worries to rest. Step back in time and enjoy the treats and sweets.

So cute!

I love the old vintage look and the place seems so laid back also way better than Vintage cafe. You might not serve food like vintage cafe but you sure are better that for sure. Another thing I love is how you serve based on who is in line you guys don't go around being biased. Don't listen to these bad reviewers they're just being a Karen. Your drinks don't taste like nasty water and your pastries are not stale. Keep up the good work.

This coffee shop is very cozy and cute, but my and my husband's coffee tasted like dirty puddle water, well, mine has expired pumpkin spice syrup in it. Also, you guys, use your reason when you add sugary syrup to coffee, mine was impossible to drink... What a shame. Please, learn to make coffee.
I am sure many more people thought the same,but are just too nice to tell the truth.

Didn't have any food, just drinks. They have brownies and cookies and pastry stuff. Very nice people that own it, the drinks were fabulous. Nice, cozy place to sit and talk to a friend, or make new friends there!

Parking: There is street parking. When we went, it wasn't very busy. Went on a Wednesday afternoon.
