Java Joe Specialty Coffee, Tea Gifts

Nice neighborhood place, not at all fancy but good to hang with the locals!

Loved the Black Forest Mocha coffee with lovely cherry and chocolate flavors! Such inventive coffees that I really had a hard time choosing! They have alternative milks, a huge variety of teas, and a cute gift shop section. We'll done, Java Joe! I'll be back soon!

If your going to run a coffee shop do your customers a favor and make sure your employees are trained to be baristas. I just got a single shot 12 oz cappuccino that was handed to me lukewarm and the girl stood and instead of pouring the foam in the cup she took a spoon and spooned it in which tells me that she hasn't been properly trained yet she still got the $4.50 regardless for the cappuccino.

I've always enjoyed this coffee shop. It gives a great local tourist vibe. There is a little gift shop inside as well so you can do a little shopping while you wait for your drinks. I enjoy the mochas or the white chocolate drinks. Yummy!

As I work nearby I have been to this coffee shop many times and every time I walk away disappointed. Not only do the people who work here know absolutely nothing about espresso or espresso-based drinks (yes, there is a difference between a cappuccino and a latte, and no if the milk doesn't say organic on the packaging it's not organic) they also know nothing about service. Unfriendly, rude and just awful all round. Good coffee is worth a journey and from now on I shall make the trek to Beacon down the road.
