What People Are Saying
from Google"This has been my favorite coffee shop since it opened over 30 years ago. I still have the promotional coffee cup, sold for five dollars, with $.75 refills as long as I own the cup. Only two (new) employees have challenged the $.75 charge for a cup of coffee in 30 years. Thank you, Joe, the owner, for informing them that it is a legitimate coffee refill cup (at 1994 prices)! Java and Joe’s sells the most fantastic specialty coffee in Ventura County."
"Consistently soooo good! That’s my biggest issue with a lot of places is it’ll be great one time and not good the next. They have a lot of unique and sweet coffee flavors. I recommend the vanilla lavender latte. Also they put a good amount of ice, unlike Starbucks that fills up the whole cup with ice."
"Omg this was the best latte I’ve ever gotten, it was the rose vanilla latte with oat milk. My boyfriend got the German chocolate mocha, and he loved it ! he said it was the best coffee he’s ever had. 10/10"
