"Great coffee and a truly energizing experience. I stopped by Java, asked a few questions about the coffee, tried their recommendation — and it genuinely woke me up in the best way. You can tell they care about quality and know what they’re serving. The place has a very cool, relaxed San Francisco vibe — cozy, atmospheric, and authentic. Perfect spot to reset, think, or just enjoy a really good cup of coffee. Definitely coming back."

"Small portions for the charged price. $7 cold brew with half the glass being ice. Like another review said, the bacon burrito is extremely small and for only being egg, cheese, and bacon the price of $15.50 is ridiculous. The cafe is an old make-shift kitchen. Weird place, definitely not coming back."

"Java Beach Café by the zoo is a hidden gem for families! It’s the perfect spot to grab a quick bite, enjoy a good coffee, or treat yourself to a pastry. The best part? It’s incredibly kid- and baby-friendly. They have plenty of high chairs, booster seats, and even a bathroom with a changing table—which makes all the difference when you’re out with little ones. A lifesaver after a morning at the zoo!"

"Paid $15 for a very small vegan wrap - their only vegan offering - with a teaspoon of hummus and a hint of pesto on it, and a wrap and lettuce and tomato. I had to drown it in tapatio to make it taste like anything. I wish it was better. To not have real vegan food or pastry options in 2026 is just disappointing. The peppermint mocha was tasty! But vegans - i do not recommend coming here to eat."

"Got an affogato - vanilla ice cream with a shot of espresso - for a cool refresher on a warm spring day, it was delicious! They have parkings on the side of the road, restroom and seating inside and some outside. Pretty nice cozy looking place. 2nd visit I got myself an americano with honey and a plain bagel with salmon + tip - $25 - it was delicious and coffee was pretty good. Cozy environment quiet and peaceful."
