Stopped in Sunday morning had a latte with vanilla flavor and an almond croissant . The latte was perfect not too light and the pastry was delicious

Been going here for about 3 years and recently tried the chai. If you’re a chai lover, you HAVE to try it out! Amazing spices and it doesn’t need to be sweetened at all. Every beverage I’ve tried has been amazing, as well as the pastries. If you’re thinking about going, you will not be disappointed!!

I like the atmosphere and the drinks are fine, but this place really needs to improve the food here. The food options are neither appetizing or tasty. I would also invest in an air filter. Every time I’m there, I end up smelling like burnt coffee beans.

I waltzed in here hungover af after a night out on Sansom St. It was the worst kind of hangover though. One of the sneak hangovers. The type of ones where you wake up and are like "damn I'm not even hung...I might just be like that..." then when you're walking down the stairs to go get a coffee you're like wow that hangover that heard me talkin all that mess. One of those hangovers where it so cunningly waits until you are planning your whole day out in your head of all the things you are going to get done, only to wait until both feet touch the earth to say "you sure about that buddy?" It's like the Sly Cooper of hangovers. Only real ones, my fellow PS2 players, will get that reference.All this to say, that hangover SNUCK me on the way to Java Company. I was just going to get a coffee, but knew I needed some sort of bread to help me fend off the sneak.We arrived and saw ample outdoor seating with beautiful, rustic chairs and tables. The quality of chairs and tables really can make or break a coffee shop.This place is what you think of when you think "cute coffee shop," I loved it. Upon approaching the order stand, I was debating what to get to fill up my tummy. My Lil Cuzzo suggested I get the Labneh as "it's really good.""The Lab-wha?" the Croatian Orangutan responded. She began to explain that it was some kind of yogurt spread on bread with cucumbers on top, and then saw my look of dire confusion and just pointed to it behind the little glass."That looks and sounds horrendous right now," I said. I meant that from my soul too it really did.I ended up getting an americano with oat milk and a plain multigrain bagel, Little Cuzzo ended up getting a dirty chai latte and the Labneh ahahahahahahaha.We sat in the corner and after some time, the waitress came with our items and shook my americano, as it looked black as TON 618, the most massive blackhole in the universe, and said "There is oat milk in there it just doesn't look like it." What am I supposed to say to that ahaha.There is still some debate to this day among Philadelphians on whether or not there was any oat milk in that americano. It is a chicken or egg scenario at this point.I tried Lil Cuzzo's Labneh, because I'll try anything once, and it was GAS. I had to eat every last word. I should have got the Labneh smh. I also tried her dirty chai latte and that was hittin too! I was sitting there with my arms crossed, staring at my plain bagel and americano with alleged oat milk and was like damn, I should have just got her order. Could never tell her that though you feel me? Lil Cuzzo's ego be crazy already!!I loved this place. GET THE LABNEH!IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov__

Ditto what the poster before me said (I love this place). A real cafe, with patrons actually carrying out conversations or reading. Plus great coffee and service!

Best coffee shop in the city. Best iced coffee in the city. Food is home made and made fresh every day. Attention to details is off the charts!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I go grab coffee to Java every Monday afternoon and spend the most relaxing 45 minutes of my week. I love reading my book while I have coffee with a slice of pumpkin bread which is delicious. The atmosphere is very cozy and the girl that works there is very nice and sweet. It is the perfect coffee place for working/studying cause there’s plenty of tables inside and outside. I highly recommend this place!Vegetarian options: Most of their pastries are vegetarian and they also have a couple options for lunch like sandwiches and bagels.

There aren't that many iced Chai lattes that I like, but a friend recommended this place and it was tasty!
