Wanted to like this place with all the good reviews it's gotten on yelp but just wasn't impressed. There was only one guy working so it took 15 minutes to get my food since he had to make 4 other peoples drinks that came after me. And then when I get my food the wrap was completely undone and I had just opened the container. Unfortunately will probably not be back.

I went there for the first time on a saturday morning and really enjoyed it. The service was good, as well as the dine in area. The guy who helped us was really polite, and the turkey panini with pesto sauce was another level. I just wish their cinnamon roll had more icing on top and the coffee tasted a little bit more dark. Everything else is perfect

This place is always empty, but it's always super slooooow. But if that's not enough, the family that runs the shop is super rude. I will never come back. The older gentleman who works the counter is nice, but the man who also cooks, has a terrible attitude. Best of luck w ur business, I'm sure it will soon close w your non existent customer service.

Get your caffeine and sweet tooth fix here! Cheaper than Starbucks, better tasting than Starbucks, more options than Starbucks. At Priscilla's you might both famous and infamous hollywood types! Much more interesting that you will meet at Starbucks. Came here for the food and stayed for the ambiance and people.

WOW!! I am at a loss for words. I want to move here and work here and come here everyday!! Cute little corner coffee and breakfast shop. Fast and friendly service. Masked employees, hand sanitizer was present. We got an ice blended coffee and an iced caramel macchiato. Fast service. I am blown away by the taste! My daughter said " I don't want to stop drinking it!" We were going to try a few different coffee places while we were visiting but I think I found my go-to coffee place while in the area!! See you tomorrow:D

Today was my first time at Java bakery, I'd driven past it dozens of times and finally decided to stop today for a breakfast sandwich. I ordered the California breakfast bagel on a croissant and a chocolate espresso bar. Unfortunately they were fresh out of croissants, so I opted for an everything bagel instead. They had a ton of hot and iced drink options that sounded delicious, but the only sugar free syrup flavor that they had was chocolate. I'm usually not a huge fan of mocha drinks, but the owner convinced me to give it a try so I ordered one iced. I loved it! It was super creamy

This is a nice little cafe with VERY GOOD coffee. Wife and I had the 1) Turkey Club wrap and 2) Southwestern Chicken wrap. Large wrap. You won't go hungry l. Both very flavorful too. Each included a side. Wife had potato salad ( very good - with a little apple cider vinegar!). I had the mixed green salad. Excellent spinach/green mix with some crunchy chips, red pepper and corn and a nice vinegrette dressing. 10.99 each on the luncheon special. Special includes a free iced tea. I had apricot green tea and wife had black. Both were good. Good value and a full meal for 10.99.

5 stars all the way! Ordered lunch for my staff of 20, and it was delivery on time and correctly. My staff appreciated the artisan sandwiches and raved about them all day. The prices are excellent and the quality far exceeded my expectations. I'm so happy I was able to support a local business and get a great sandwich at the same time. I will continue to use them for all my staff functions.

Thai chicken wrap is terrible. It's cold and mainly consists of bean sprouts, cucumbers and carrots. The very little chicken there was in the wrap was cold, white and tasted like it was boiled (not grilled as advertised in the menu). I am not picky with food but this was the worst. Especially considering 12$ price.

Today was a bad day I ordered a pesto panini . Terrible , the inside part was completely dry and salty and only half of the sandwich had anything . I literally took all the inside part out and just ate the bread, very disappointing since I've been here before I also ordered a frap and they said they were out so I'm waiting for my refund of 4.99 which I was told would go on my card. I literally had to eat my coworkers left overs for lunch.

What a cute little hole in the wall cafe! I stumbled across the JAVA Bakery cafe because my daughter takes a coding class across the way. I was in the mood for an iced latte, and they did not disappoint. I ordered a sunrise bagel and an iced caramel machiatto.
The machiatto was perfect, not too sweet which I enjoyed. The espresso to milk ratio was just perfect. The sandwich was delightful. I prefer my sandwich on their everything bagel, for that extra texture. The staff is always helpful and pleasant, and the inside is always clean. It makes for a quiet breakfast date! I will definitely be returning
