Java Cabana

Visited the coffee shop in the Cooper Young area and it was great. The coffee and pastries were excellent and the service was nice. The cafe interior is an eclectic mix of old and new and there was plenty of space. I got a lavender mocha and a scone and both were great. I look forward to visiting again when I am back in the area.

The place itself is cozy and ADORABLE. It reminded me of a local coffee house I frequented in high school which I absolutely loved. I wanted to love it at least as much. It was very quiet... most of the tables/ seats were taken... it felt a bit awkward. But we're optimists so we got in line for coffee. We placed our orders and then were left standing there. So we decided to find a place to sit. Accomplished that in a low couch where we remained until a large group got up and some chairs at a table were open. We relocated. A smaller table opened so we moved again. Our coffee came out! Hallelu! Mine was in a fairly thin paper cup but it was cute with cute sayings on it. My friend's was in a generic insulated cup. I couldn't hold my cup it was so hot. My friend requested a sleeve, they had none. So she asked for a second cup and was told they didn't think that would help but thankfully they gave us the cup. At that point, it just felt off. The vibes were not ideal. So we took our coffee to go. I will say, the coffee was DELICIOUS. I got the Lisa Marie and I recommend you try it too. So good! Hot cocoa with dark roast and raspberry just yum. It may have just been an off day there and normally it may be very warm and welcoming. I would say to still go and at least get the coffee to go if you don't feel the urge to stay.

I stopped by this cute, hip, tiny coffeehouse this evening for a coffee. It’s pretty laid back, and the service is also a bit slow. The barista and the staff lady both are friendly and welcoming. There were a few people chilling at the spot. Nobody was in rush. I ordered a mocha. There were some baked goodies available, however I was not hungry. The coffee was nice, but somehow little too sweet for me. I will definitely give this place another visit again.
