"I bought 2 bags of fragrant coffee beans (intoxicating!) and ordered a 16 oz. breve dirty chai and an Asiago bacon bagel with cream cheese 🥯 the bagel tasted amazing (bacon AND cheddar baked in!); however, the chai did not have the requested espresso shot, was lukewarm, wayyy too sweet and had hardly any chai flavor at all. In fact, it just tasted like syrupy, weak tea. Disappointing. They were too busy, so I didn’t ask them to remake it. All six of the baristas seemed harried and distracted. Several items came out at once and I had to ask a barista (who looked irritated at the interruption) which food item was mine, because they were not marked and I didn’t want to open someone else’s order. So she had to open each bag and look inside to differentiate them, an inefficient process. (Why not just mark the items with a sharpie when they’re made?) While waiting, I looked up and noticed about 5 year’s worth of dust layering the otherwise trendy steampunk light fixtures. (Time to invest in a retractable Swiffer duster, owners). Lastly, the tight corner parking lot and high traffic volume made parking and walking into the establishment a logistical nightmare. If I return, I will wait until evening when hopefully it’s less busy."

"My wife and I were just passing through the area and decided to stop at Koco Java for coffee, and we’re so glad we did. The drive-thru team members were some of the most polite, respectful, and genuinely kind staff we’ve encountered in a very long time. They made the experience welcoming from start to finish. The coffee was excellent, and the recommendation for the apple danish was spot on. It was delicious and paired perfectly with our coffee. Thank you to the Koco Java team for such a great experience. We will absolutely be back the next time we’re in town."

"I ordered a Nutticino and a blueberry cream cheese Danish. I really enjoyed my visit to Koco Java. Fast service and a delicious warm Danish and great coffee."

"Busiest place in town!!! Conveniently located in the HEART of Historic Salisbury. Best coffee in the state, hands down. You can’t ask for better. This family owned, local business is passionate about serving their customers the highest quality beverages and assorted pastry’s. They’re constantly creating new monthly specials that continue to impress! I recommend this business to any and all! We buy their coffee beans and use them at home as well. Jingle Bell and Salisbury Blend are personal favorites! This place has it all figured out!"

"I stopped by this coffee shop on recent visit to Salisbury, and I’m so glad I did. The drinks were absolutely delicious—rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with plenty of cozy spots to sit and either get some work done or just catch up with a friend. It never felt too loud or too crowded, just the right balance of lively and relaxed. And the service? Fantastic. The staff was friendly, quick, and genuinely seemed to enjoy being there. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to next time I am in town!"
