Java Central Cafe and Roaster

We were just strolling the neighborhood after lunch and came across this place and decided to stop by and get a cup of java. This is such a cute place. Friendly staff and there are sitting area inside and out. They also have open mic every Friday, which I want to go back and check it out. I ordered the Chai Latte and it tasted great. There are variety of cold and hot drinks you can chose from. There are some bakery option such has cookies and muffins. Also, you can purchase merchandise like tea kettles.

Found this spot on the way back from New Albany. Great ambiance with friendly staff and a great setup. Imagine lots of students in here studying quite a bit. Started with the bagel sandwich with spinach (solid) and wife had the blueberry muffin (good not great). Pour was good though the wife's small latte was quite small, which took us by surprise. She ordered small we just didn't it would be that small. (See photo for scale). All in all, a great little spot that I'm sure we'll revisit.

Okay...I am a coffee addict whose doctor has told them no more coffee; but I can have tea (due to coffees acidity) so we stopped here as I love their coffee and had high hopes for their tea I have been searching for an amazing chain latte for about two months. I have found it here. Look no further. This is now my go to place for chai lattes. No joke. Seriously the best chai latte I have had in not just two months but in two years, and definitely the best in the Columbus area. Period. Hand to God. What makes it special?The blend of spices is balanced. After I drink chai, I want to taste it in my upper palate. It should linger but not burn. This does that. If the spices are balanced correctly, little sugar is needed. That is also the case. The drink doesn't taste overwhelmingly sweet. Big props to that! The barista did the perfect ratio of milk to tea so it didn't taste too milky. There was a froth. Nice nice nice. If you like it iced I suggest they make it hot for you ask for a glass of ice and pour as this hot chai is perfect. I worry if it doesnt sit a bit warm it might not release the same flavor. Is there such a thing as barrista's kiss? There should be in this case. Bravo. I also ordered a make your own sammie. Was skeptical about that going into it- but was hungry, so I ordered sourdough bread, pesto hard egg, guac smear, light vegan cream cheese smear (its actually better for you than regular cream cheese) bacon (don't judge. Lol. I know its hypocritical to put bacon on it but this is my cheat day) oh and I added spinach. All toasted. Wasn't sure how it would turn out. Unwrapped it in the car. Was sad that it was not "stiffer sour dough" and more like billowy pep farms. But when I bit into it, it all worked. Shared a bite with my husband who said "holy moly" (okay he said holy something else, aim keeping it classy) "thats good". I then continued to eat it all up. Ten out of ten, Java Central! Heck 13 out of ten. Yum yum yum. Was worth standing in the super long lineSomething I hardly ever say. Give them a try. Ps: Husband usually gets dark roast with cream. They were out. Their regular drip coffee he says is just alright. Not worth the 4.5... sorry Java Central- not having the dark cost you a star...But you hit it out of the park for me!

i got brown sugar cinnamon latte and it was more of sweet side. if you like sweet latte this is perfect place for you! it has a huge space where you can sit and study. employees were friendly! (go philly eagles)

A cozy coffee shop good for coffee with friends and studying. I came just for a coffee drink and ordered a Cubano which I've never tried before. Since I've never had a Cubano before I don't have anything to compare it with, but it I thought it was good except it was a little pricey. Their drink prices are a little bit more expensive than similar places. If you're looking for a place to meet with friends and study then this seems like it's a great place for that. They sell craft coffee supplies and paraphernalia. Their food menu looks tempting. If you don't want a coffee drink they have a variety of cold beverages in a cooler.

Wonderful local coffee roaster in the historic Uptown Westerville area. They offer great coffee including a selection of hand crafted coffees by attentive baristas. Plenty of places to sit, relax and enjoy your coffee. It is a great location to bring your laptop and work, or meet up with friends. This location also has an open mic night where you can bring in your instruments and play music. They have an exceptional commitment to the community and a number of causes. It is nice to see a ship so committed.Plenty of street parking and lots surrounding this location. Stop in and enjoy a coffee while taking in all the stores and restaurants in the area.

I've been to Java Central several times now and it never disappoints. Lots of tables, an eclectic but cozy atmosphere, friendly workers and excellent coffee (and baked goods). I got the latte with oatmilk and it was perfectly balanced and warm. My mom loves their chai latte and the vanilla bean scone was incredible (especially warmed up)! Definitely recommend stopping in!

We've stopped here multiple times and always have delicious coffee. They have regular coffee and unique flavors like cardamon rose. You can order them iced, warm or frozen. Definitely worth a stop to grab a drink while you shop down Main Street

We came on a sunday around 1pm. We ordered the pumpkin and turmeric latte with oat milk ($7.50) and coffee toffee white mocha with oat ($8.50). The pumpkin turmeric latte was great. You can taste the pumpkin. Perfect sweetness. I personally don't care for the taste of the turmeric, but like the health benefits so that fact that this drink didn't taste like turmeric was a plus. The coffee toffee white mocha was great as well. The foam was steamed perfectly. The toffee and white mocha was very pleasant with the espresso. I appreciate java central using compostable cups. They also have a really cute poster of the history of Java central. There were a lot of tables, but they were all full. Staff was very kind.

We tried Java Central for the first time today. It is definitely a popular spot. Everyone who worked there was so nice and so helpful! Wonderful service. We got a Chai Latte and a Cardamom Rose Latte - both were great. The cafe is super cozy with seating. We did go on a Saturday so parking and finding a seat inside the cafe was a little tricky, but it all worked out. If we're in the Westerville area, we'll definitely hit this place up again.
