Hot Java Cafe

I was caught between giving it three or four stars; decided on four because as a drive-thru just for coffee it's very nice. After seeing reviews of their meals I decided to give the indoors a try, and have a sit-down meal. Mere snacks for two people added up to $43 including tip, so even if it had been good stuff, probably wouldn't have returned because can get a real meal for that price.We first asked if there were vegetarian or egg-and-cheese but no red meat options. Instead of a yes or no, we got a lecture from the older woman on how ridiculous she considers vegans and anyone looking for gluten free bread and even threw in her disdain for kosher. Well, okay, eccentric weirdo, but maybe she really can cook. We persevered in our heroic effort to just order food without bacon in it.The main thing without bacon or beef was a breakfast burrito. I ordered that. It seemed healthy and not terrible, but I would never want it a second time as it was mostly just brown rice. My companion got tuna fish sandwich. She said it was good but for the price she could've made four of 'em even better at home. So we only loved our coffees. For a meal, I would never recommend this place, and am startled a few people thought it was great food (friends providing reviews as favors?). Several failed businesses ago, this Kitsap Way location was Simply Sublime, and they had a small menu of really great stuff; I had scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese, side of toast, about once a week with my morning coffee, without going into deep debt for a chance to relax. But Hot Java Cafe just won't do. Still a good coffee drive-thru though. I do hope them better success than the series of failed coffee cafes at this address, hence the four stars. We'll still be using the drive-thru.

Cheyenne, Sophia, and Dede made my morning! They're so friendly and chatted with me while they made my coffee. We were cracking up so much I almost forgot to order. The coffee was lovely, too! I got the special and it was ‍ delicious! They were very fast, as well. Thanks guys!

Great coffee, and excellent service. Highly recommend the caprese bagel. It is on a level by itself!!

This place was fantastic! I had the BLT on a croissant and it was so yummy. I did add a very light spread of the local ArdVark hot sauce to it and it was the cherry on top. The ladies who work there are really nice :). Great service. Super cute and cozy spot. Thank you Hot Java

Everything about this cafe is stellar! Got the Westender Croissant sandwich and it was great.

We have always enjoyed the coffee at Hot Java and the people. Today we took advantage of indoor seating and ordered up some breakfast. We had a couple different croissants, one with sausage and one with bacon. The scrambled eggs were plentiful and fluffy. Flavorful cheese and really good flaky croissants. The burrito was packed with flavor and the grilled cheese was cheesy and crunchy but soft and gooey at same time. And yes, the coffee is really good too. Latte's are done well and priced right. The only tough part is parking but food and drink make it so worth it.

Never wished I lived in Bremerton until now! Just so I could be a regular here :)We stopped by here after picking up some plants at a nearby nursery and oh man, I haven't stopped thinking about the breakfast sandwiches here. First, they serve them all day. Like, I'm already in love. Second, they're delicious, made to order and DELICIOUS!We had the Islander (give me all the spam), the PNW and the croissant breakfast sandwich. So freaking good. I didn't even get a good photo of the croissant one b/c my 2 and 4 year olds devoured it so quickly. We also had their coffee and tried the special of that week - butterscotch latte. Super yummy. Plus they made my kids kid temperature hot chocolates, which I always appreciate. The lady working was so nice, they have a drive up window (which I walked up to?? Why did I think it was an outdoor ordering window b/c COVID, haha) Plus indoor and outdoor seating. 100/10 definitely need to come back here again.

Wonderfully friendly and delicious. We've eaten here two days in a row on our vacation and both days were fantastic! Staff couldn't be any more lovely and the food has been to die for. Definitely come here if you get a chance, it seems like after 9am it's a little less busy. :)

Yes! Yes! Yes! From friendly service to perfect drinks and fulfilling breakfast in density and flavor. We opted to go inside the cafe to order our take out breakfast. Seems like they may be working on the interior a bit, but it wasn't distracting. We were immediately greeted by a gal in the back. She kindly offered her recommendations when asked and was helpful in explaining ingredients and flavors. We ordered the $14 BB Burrito; eggs, bacon and cheddar - no skimping on this fatty breakfast burrito! Also got the $3.50 single slice avocado toast and added hard boiled eggs for an extra $1.50, def worth it. Don't be fooled by its appearance, so much flavor and deliciousness! The single slice was perfect for me, I loved the garlic, salt and pepper seasonings and sourdough.Aside from the traditional coffee drinks, they have smoothies and blenders. We got the Mango smoothie, smallest size is 16oz. Vanilla Chai tea latte with almond milk, so much yum! So glad we ventured 7 minutes off our route to check Hot Java Cafe out!

Great tasting food - we got the breakfast burritos and they were hearty and had great flavor. This is a good place for families as there is room for the kids and plenty of choices.
