    My go to spot when I'm in the area and in need of a caffeine fix or even just a place to meet up with a friend and chat. The inside is quiet enough to converse, to do work or even just enjoy a nice cup of coffee solo. They have a coffee menu and they also have a bubble tea menu, so seriously there was nothing else I could ask for. Give it a try, I honestly think there's something on the menu that will satisfy anyone's taste.

    Very impressed by this quaint little shop.

    Needed lunch one day and didn't know what to expect from this place. Ordered a Reuben sandwich and it was irresistibly good. Right amount of meat, spread, and pickled goodness! It made me excited to try their other food options. As for my bubble tea, very basic tasting, and wouldn't recommend it. It's tough offering bubble tea when there's so many places now that specialize in it. Be as it may, I would definitely come by again for the food.

    I'm muy loco for Java Loco!

    Lovely cafe that offers a wide variety of beverages. They also have gelato, brownies, lemon bars, and breakfast offerings. I went here for a coffee date and have every intention of returning. I had a basic Italian coffee an definitely want to try some sweets next time. Thank you, Java Loco! You made a lazy Sunday much better.

    The gelato is very very good! My only real issue is the price is a bit steep $5+ for once small scoop. I'm used to maybe $4. Honestly it's a nice treat though. Very cute store.

    Good coffee, great selection, but the staff appears to be a group of sullen, overwhelmed teenagers that (I'm sorry to say this, but it's true) barely understand English and constantly screw up orders. Also, if your COFFEE shop opens at 7:30, you should probably have COFFEE ready by 7:30 ‍ took 20 minutes to get a large black coffee with one customer ahead of me.
