Java Cabana

My father and I are visiting from Nashville for a trade show, and we were looking for a cool local place to caffeinate and catch up on some work. And we found it! It was a little hard to find from the street as the sign needs a little TLC, but the ambiance was welcoming. Another reviewer described the interior as "eclectic hippy grandma" and that's incredibly accurate. Lots of cute thrifted furniture and even some nice chess sets set out!The menu was incredibly straightforward and easy to navigate. We didn't end up getting anything to eat, but our drinks were wonderful. The staff was friendly and open to chat, and we had good conversation. We love the fact that the business is active in giving back to the community.

This has always been a nice cafe with a local flair. The coffee and food (which is mostly lunch type items) is good. It's not a big deal but I wish ALL the staff would be courteous to patrons about using the bathroom. Shops next door are more understanding about that.

Sullen if not surly server - who could not accept credit card, check, Apple Pay, or Venmo. 10% of human race still carrying cash - enjoy.

Cute little spot. My latte was Luke warm however and wasn't that impressed. I wanted to be!

I got up early just to come here. It's very cool nicely decorated . Their menu is fantastic such a variety an all good. Unfortunately they were not open a lot of times . The people that run it are amazing an the crowd is also very comfortable. I wish I could be there tomorrow but unfortunately I can't.I miss it

This place is by far the most original and unique coffeeshop I've been to! It's an experience! As soon as you step in you feel like you're in a hippie grandma's house, with all kind of antique furniture, pictures and posters on the walls, artwork, a mannequin, a piano, and much more than what your eyes can take in at once! The barrista is very friendly, and their signature coffees are excellent! We tried the Funky Monkey coffee; a banana-chocolate flavored latte, and a Lisa Marie coffee (not sure if that was the name); an orange-chocolate latte, both excellent. I definitely recommend it!

I really wanted to give Java Cabana a better review, but the coffee (cappuccino) simply wasn't that good. At all. This was the second time that I've tried it, first time maybe a year ago. It it was only the coffee that I was rating, I'd give it a disappointing two stars.The place itself is charming in a very scrappy way....which I wouldn't mind at all (and in fact, like) if the coffee was awesome. But it wasn't.The cappuccino's coffee flavor was diluted and thin tasting and not particularly fresh. And the foam wasn't well made. All in all it just seemed like a minimal, haphazard effort. Not even close to the quality that I make at home.While the blueberry muffin was quite good....turns out that it was store-bought and the employee told me that they get their pastries from wherever they can....including foodservice companies and even the grocery store if need be. Which is all fine. But that isn't what I was expecting.

Cozy little Restaurant in Cooper Young. Milk Shakes are think and yummy. Very unique laid back atmosphere

We arrived during the afternoon for some coffee and live music, and the door was locked with no sign. While we were talking about what we might do instead, 12-15 people came by doing the same. The musicians that traveled from out of town to play there arrived about the same time and had no idea what was going on, either. This is not the first time we have found the place closed for some reason. All that being said, when it's open, the service, vibe, and snacks are good, and the coffee is good but not great. If you go there, have an alternate plan just in case.

Eclectic, uplifting, artsy, cozy, laid back space with interesting reading material, vintage memorabilia, good coffee, delicious cheese & spinach omelette and very reasonable prices.
