Shout out to Morgan, Lexie, Jo, Cammie, and Han for being amazing! These people are so kind and helpful, and they make my day every time! And they make the best drinks. Java House is my new favorite café! They make the best tea lattes around. No acidity, just amazingly smooth! I highly recommend the Green Momma. It's made of green tea, milk, vanilla, honey, and signature house whip. A perfect combination of tastes and textures, with the earthiness of the green tea, the richness of the milk, and the delicate flavor balance of vanilla and honey. Antioxidants are so good for your health, and the hot tea is great for your throat and voice, especially for my job where I have to talk so much. And this wonderful tea latte is better and far more refined than those overwhelmingly sweet Starbucks drinks. Starbucks is just diabetes in a cup, but Java House is a lot better for your health. And much better than what the local competition has to offer. And no Java House review is complete without pointing out their signature house whip. The Java whip is so good that I could get a large cup full of only the Java whip if they allowed it! The café atmosphere is wonderful. Comfortable, warm lighting, with a reclaimed wood aesthetic. Perfect for long hours of focus time and soothing hot drinks. And much more comfortable than the local competition. So stop spending money at Starbucks, because the truly good stuff is local! Head to your local Java House, and you'll realize what you've been missing out on! 5/5; highly recommend.

We like Java house but this location is a miss. We have tried it 4 times. The most recent time they threw away my gift card that had a balance. Another time I had a e-gift card and it was a pain to use— they have to enter in the digits each time. The drinks are a miss. Recently my “in a minute” was lukewarm even though I had watched them make it. Other times the drinks have been too hot. I guess my rec is stick with cold drinks and don’t use gift cards.

Stopped by JavaHouse and wasn’t sure what to get, but Joseph recommended the Tedster—easily one of the best coffee drinks I’ve had! The mix of bold espresso, caramel, and creaminess was spot on. The recommendation was perfect, and the service was friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely coming back for another!
