This is my FAVORITE Coffee Stop! I also LOVE the food, especially the soup!!!
When my kids were YOUNG, as in, 2-3 years old (they are in their 20's now), I'd take them to The Java House A LOT, and my husband and I would go there after Church while our kids were in Sunday School. I have great memories, and continue to go there whenever I am in town!!

Came by here early in the morning right at opening to get some work done before the day started. I decided I would treat myself to a nice coffee and breakfast while I was here.
Parking: This Java House is in a small shopping center, so there was ample parking.
Ambiance: I liked the ambiance of the place. Lots of wood, so it felt natural. There was ample lighting and plenty of seating with outlets for me to get some work done. There are signs that say 1 hour seating, but it was not busy that early and they did not enforce it at the time. I am not sure if they would enforce it if it ever got that busy.
Food and drink: For coffee, I got the Mexican Chocolate Cold Brew with Sweet Cream. For food, I got the Spicy Southwest with chorizo and substituted the English muffin for croissant, which they were more than happy to do. Both came out in a timely manner. The Mexican Chocolate Cold Brew was delicious and refreshing, but it does have a spiced kick to it for those who are not into that. The Spicy Southwest was not too spicy though, so feel free to order it if it piques your interest. It was still warm, had a delicious sauce to it, and I had to consciously tell myself to eat it slowly or I would have scarfed it down otherwise.
Service: Incredibly friendly staff. Made small talk with one of the baristas about the gaggle of geese that were right outside the window.
A hundred percent would come back! I am craving the Spicy Southwest as I write this!
Great coffee, tremendous food. An Iowa City staple that is a must if you are visiting.
Always a hit. Their coffee is great and gets the job done caffeine-wise. The staff here are always friendly, kind, and understanding. This is the type of place where you can leave your laptop out while getting your coffee or going to the restroom and not having to worry about anything. Great pastries too!
Really good lattes and muffins. They time their shots and monitor milk temperatures. Not the average pull and temp you get at Howard's former coffee emporium. Worth the effort.
Still worth the effort and time to divert to this coffee place. It is always the final stop before leaving town. Something I look forward to.
Absolutely Love this place! They serve many coffee products & freshly made rolls, muffins, & much more. Personally, I love their Caramel Frappe' with whipped topping & caramel drizzled over the cream. The atmosphere here is so neat with old brick walls behind the counters & alit of windows bring in the Natural light. The other side of the store serves breakfast sandwiches & they also have healthy choices forunch, dinner, or just a snack. I highly recommend this coffee house!!!
