The day I stopped their HVAC wasn’t working properly so they weren’t preparing bowls. I was able to get the brisket and egg sandwich which was okay but the brisket was tough. The staff was very friendly and the place was clean. There is plenty of parking. I will try this place again.

Java Bowl was closed for several weeks for staffing but we're so glad it has reopened & is better than ever! Great coffee, tea & smoothies, delicious matcha drinks & the menu is varied. The bagels are from NY & yummy with my favorite sandwich the avocado veggie. There is a freshly made, varied selection of tasty breakfast & lunch options. A reasonably priced, terrific, neighborhood coffee shop!

Awesome place for healthy, delicious food! The staff was super friendly and courteous. Our açaí bowls were amazing, and so were our sandwiches- veggie wrap, egg salad sandwich, and turkey provolone panini. The restaurant and bathrooms were very clean, and I loved the design. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in the area again!

Welcoming spot with warm vibes and atmosphere. There's a fireplace with some comfy chairs, even an acoustic guitar to play a little if you feel inclined. We got a grilled cheese for the kids, as expected on the cheese blend, though the bread was better. Coffee drinks of a cappuccino and vanilla latte were delicious, not overly sweet on the latte. We also got two acai bowls, which were a little small to my preference given the price, at least not much for fresh fruit and granola on top. Despite that, they were tasty, nutritious, and a decision you won't regret. Worth stopping in if driving by and needing an energy boost.

Quick service, friendly workers. I am a salmon lover so I got their Manhattan style “Lox”. It was so amazingly satisfying. Everything bagel was delicious and cream cheese and smoked salmon with sliced onion and capers are perfect combination. It was so creamy and savory. Love this place.
