"Very chill laid back coffee spot in La Jolla. The coffee is more focused on lattes and mixed coffees. I got a daily brew and it wasn’t half bad. She got the brown sugar cinnamon coffee and it was very nice. Overall not my typical kind of coffee spot but the staff was very friendly and it was very clean which bumps it up for me. La Jolla is a good coffee desert so this place was a nice change."

"SIZE MATTERS when it comes to breakfast sandwiches!! These breakfast sandwiches, burritos and bowls are great portion sizes and I appreciate that very much. I’m a yoga teacher and fitness instructor in La Jolla and have a nice appetite, especially after classes or working out. I’m not vegan or vegetarian. On some days I teach 2 classes in the morning (other days I may teach 3 classes back to back) and I need a healthy and big breakfast to keep me fulled. I’ve had several breakfast sandwiches around the area and very few places compare to Java’s portions AND taste! My body is also sensitive to additives, preservatives or junk ingredients and I break out if I have something that isn’t “clean”. I’ll know right away and I’ve never had a problem here. My body appreciates it! Their smoothies are also one of my favorites!! The “Get your sculpt on smoothie” is not on the menu ( I think it was seasonal) but that was my staple for a long time. I still ask for it and they make it for me! It’s made with chaga mushrooms and I love the health benefits of that as well. They also have a warm chaga latte that I love when it gets chilly. My new favorite smoothie is the “Chunky Monkey” I add protein to it and it’s my new favorite! I do go to other spots in the area but always come back to Java because, again, I haven’t found portion sizes, taste, healthy and friendly service, quite like them. Their staff are always friendly, they have a lot of regulars and on slower times, they ask about you and remember when they see you next! I appreciate that as well. Connections and customer service is always important to me as it add that type of energy to the food and over all experience. Thank you Java!"

"I found out their match is from Paru on insta and double checked with the barista. Very good quality Matcha and their banana cream on top really impressed me. Definitely need to go back for its Matcha!"

"My sister came along with me to San Diego for work from Irvine, and I give her the credit for finding this place. WOW! This place blew me away. Our order: 🍵 two 20 oz matcha lattes - 10/10 thank you so much for putting the right amount of ice - not too much!! Our matcha lattes did not feel diluted at all. The additional $0.50 we paid for the extra 4 oz was well worth it. 🥣 Mediterranean bowl - 10/10, what a delicious combination of ingredients! I want to make this at home as a pick me up. It reminded me of the best parts of pesto pasta but without any pasta! 🌯 Soy Chorizo burrito - 10/10 we were told that the so Cal burrito is also a popular menu item. The personal preference of our cashier was the soy chorizo burrito and it did not fail!! The two are essentially the same except the type of meat (for the most part, so we’re told hahaha) What drew us to this place has been the featuring of Parutea’s matcha. The matcha quality truly is amazing. It’s delicious. The plating was crisp and clean - everything about the restaurant was seamlessly put together. It was a haven for good food and a way to start the morning peacefully! There’s a good number of people trickling in as soon as the restaurant opened. The people here are kind, present, and respectful. I’m so grateful for you all. They offer milk alternatives including pistachio milk! The food is cooked to just the right temperature where the flavors stand out because of the temperature at which the food is presented. Next time - I can’t wait to try the pastries 😋 God bless you all!"

"Saw they use Paru matcha so decided to give this place a try. Barista was super nice so giving two stars instead of one. Unfortunately, this was such weak matcha it tasted like pure milk and I was so disappointed. Please save your money and go to Starbucks—I guarantee that one is stronger."
