The look and feel of a Café with local and fresh flavor. Java Nation rocks. Their breakfast items are always deliciously made. You can feel the love and care put into each plate. I usually have their Huevos Rancheros (which are amazing), so I decided to try an omelet. I have to say, it was a great choice. The Ham and Cheese Omelet with Tomato is delicate and thin, and comes paired with a side of arugula and breakfast potatoes. If you don’t like your eggs cooked soft, ask them to cook them a little more. The coffee is always smooth. Highly recommend their lattes and cappuccinos. Stop by and be delighted!

The food was good. I got pancakes, cheese eggs, bacon, and an iced Apple cider. The presentation of the food was beautiful. The atmosphere was chill. Nothing there WOW’d me, but overall a good experience.

There is one lady here who is rude to me every single time I come to this location. She smiles and greets others warmly but gives me scowls at best. Today I ordered a coffee and patiently waited while she conversed with her coworkers for the next 7-8 minutes. She finally looked in my direction and then pointed at me as if to say, “maybe i should take 10 seconds to pour this guy’s coffee now.” She places the cup on the counter and dryly says, “here is your coffee”. This poor service is not necessary nor warranted. I’d hate to think this is about race.

Stopped for a quick breakfast before a long trip. Found the environment inside extremely noisy and hard to concentrate on a conversation. Music was loud enough that we had trouble communicating our food order and could not understand the staff, and everything felt chaotic.

My new favorite cafe, been having breakfast and coffee with my wife there now and we love the fresh food and great coffee. I try something new every-time we go. The customer service is amazing and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. They definitely have a weekly customer from me and my wife

Has a chill urban feel. Not the type of cozy coffee shop that has couches, but still comfortable seating. All the food is good! And I love the Latin infusion in the menu items and documentary shown on the screen in the cafe. Plan to visit again!

I was a little disappointed in my experience. I ordered about 30 minutes before and my order still wasn’t ready. I arrived at the original doordash time and it said it was ready. The lady said that it wasn’t ready yet. I saw several people come in order and get their food and beverages. I had a hard time understanding why an order I placed online 30 minutes ago wasn’t ready. Finally I asked her about our order and at first she said we don’t handle the kitchen stuff only the drinks. After waiting 10 minutes I finally was thinking this is ridiculous…and the drinks had been sitting there already made for however long. Then the food was already made in the container with the other pastries. She literally had to just take it out and then she tried to give it to me cold…I said to her don’t you usually heat these up and it was only then that she did it! It took her 5 minutes total if not less to take the premade croissant out and put it in the oven. This customer service was embarrassing and unacceptable. I will not be returning and will take my business elsewhere.

I come here all the time and decided that it’s silly that I haven’t left a review yet. The coffee is good enough that it makes me sad when I have to settle for something from other chain coffee shops who shall remain nameless. The food is quite good too, and I think their empanadas rival those from other latino bakeries I’ve been to. Location is convenient for me. You’ll spend a couple extra bucks here but I’ve never found it overpriced for what you get. I’ve gone often enough that occasionally the order gets mixed up or is slow, but they do get busy sometimes, so consider this if you order during usual peak times. The workers have been across-the-board nice to me when I’ve asked them to fix a problem. You all better keep coming so that I continue to have a place to come get my breakfast on the weekend.

Great! Extremely strong coffee. Lots of options and homemade syrups/foam toppers/etc. The bathrooms had cypher locks which was a little bizarre.
