Java Central Café and Roaster

If I lived near Westerville I would visit Java almost daily to get their great coffee and enjoy the quiet atmosphere.

It costs so much. Every single time I go there it is $40+ nearly every item is $10+ it's lovely but boy does it run your pockets dry

The coffee was so delicious I inhaled my latte after 5 minutes in my car after I left. Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere was very welcoming and pleasant. I look forward to visiting again.

Hi, seemed like a fine staff. My only problem was I waited 10 minutes for a heated muffin that they forgot when it wasn't busy. Everyone behind me in line got their orders. I got my muffin which was cold. Asked nicely to have it reheated and another 5 minutes later I got a cold muffin again. No sorry and I just found that they did not care too much about my experience so I left.

$1 per piece of bacon??? Which is the kind you can get premade at Kroger and is basically transparent and see-through…??? How delightful.
Coffee wasn’t super tasty either, big sad on the $$$ price per quality of food.
Staff were nice and atmosphere is cute.

Girls were very friendly. The girl helping train the new girl was very nice to her and to me and was very helpful. Looked like she ran the front really well.

Overpriced for the quality.

I dropped by today for the first time in a search for some locally roasted beans. They have a good selection of different coffees that they roast. I had some questions and their manager was very friendly and helpful as well as knowledgable about their offerings. Ended up buying one of the black label brands, honey processed, very excited to try it tomorrow morning.

The atmosphere is artistic and community focused. They have a small pantry for people in need to take food items and for others to donate. I really appreciate seeing that. The rooms in the back were also comfortable. And I'd say the idea of bad coffee house art does not apply here.

The pumpkin chocolate chip coffee cake was a bit too sweet for my personal preference, but it was not bad by any means. If I had ordered a black coffee instead of a cortado I'm sure it would have suited it a little better.

We love coming here. It is a fun place to hang out and enjoy a hot drink and hear music a few nights a week. Such a comfy atmosphere.
