    Mornings (which start early!) offer bagels and croissant sandwiches, while afternoons offer filling sandwiches, like the O.B. Hot Sub. There are also plenty of outlets, good coffee, and wine and beer. Read more

    Still feels like the SF I moved to 10 years ago. Has food, beer, wifi no fancy decor, stoned surfers, and old hippies. Ocean Beach dunes across the way. There is always some guy playing music!

    Mostly it's about the location next to Ocean Beach. Coffee is OK. Bran muffin gargantuan size with coconut is one of my favs. Also like the bagel with lox n cream cheese etc

    My only tip here is: GO! This is my fave coffee shop in the area to work, enjoy yummy food & drink or just hang and take a break out by the beach right across the street!

    I love this place! They do a good coffee and a meaty chef's salad. The friendly staff are always happy to watch my valuables while I surf. Every ocean beach session starts at Java

    The coffee shop in the big city, that's also totally local. Coffee, food, and staff so good, it makes you want to move here.

    Gets really crowded, even on weekdays. You'll be lucky to find a table if you're trying to work/study.

    Decent sandwiches, a little pricey though because it's almost at the tourist area. Nice seating outside to get the sea breeze and be in the sun

    This place has great food or coffee. However you can no longer work on your laptop from here as there’s no power or WiFi and a 15 min limit. Sooo don’t make the same mistake I did.

    Start at the original Java Beach on Judah, and grab a Depth Charge to fuel your walk down Ocean Beach to Sloat. Finish with a glass of Chianti at the new Java Beach by the zoo.

    Slow drip first and foremost, bean is changed seasonally. Lots of caffeine for you addicts!

    Bernies Blend or the slow drip from Africa is a tip for those who enjoy black coffee unadulterated.
