This place has great sandwiches and coffee. Though this spot is a little less busy it fills up quicker due to a smaller space. Great place to go to before or after hitting the beach or the zoo.- Love this spot close by Ocean Beach & SF Zoo. Casual, relaxing, easy going setting where you can enjoy a great bite to eat or simply enjoy a hot beverage or a nice glass a wine plus free wifi
Ting SNovember 5, 2015Originally it was the best coffee in sunset(now we do have other great options), but Java still is a lovely spot to enjoy a good coffee in a cloudy day. (Yes, you are in foggy sunset)
Mimi ToyamaNovember 9, 2015The pastries are not homemade and pricey...but they have a really awesome granola/fruit/yogurt bowl, and their sandwiches are great. Good coffee too.
Damian BayonaMarch 19, 2018Better for lunch than breakfast. Sandwiches and subs are very large and enough for 2 💏
Natalie MNovember 3, 2015Great coffee, solid sandwiches and fantastic service. Get lunch here before hitting the beach or the zoo! My fav is the turkey club but get the bread toasted.
Anya ChernyshovaJanuary 10, 2014Amazing coffee! Gingerbread latte is the best I've ever had! Also yummy sandwiches, salads & pastries. Stacy's Mexican salad is one of my all-time favorites.- Michael PettingillJuly 6, 2014Absolutely loved their Caramel Latte. The ham and cheese croissant was excellent!
Mary ChapmanJanuary 11, 2017Get their fruit Irish soda bread unless you don't love yourself. In that case, disregard.
Great staff! Nice, small selection of craft beer.
if you park in front, don't fling your car door open wide when stepping out. a speeding car might hit it. Third time this year, just now. Oh, yeah, great coffee and great people :-)
Cheryl FrankMay 26, 2019Kale Caesar salad is so good! Amazing coffee drinks! Good wi-fi. Nice staff.
Try the house-made bacon and egg pastie. Or the ham and cheese croissant. They even pronounce croissant correctly there.
- J JohnApril 2, 2023Dining room isn't well maintained& can get cramped especially if a family of 5 with small babies decides to set up "latte camp". Pastries are day old sometimes; coffee's good, service very slow.
Patrick McPolinJune 17, 2015Good for a snack before you go to the beach or zoo. Good service, and good drinks
Harry EdwardsAugust 2, 2015Quich, was great as was the egg and bacon pastie...coffe great...burnie blend..
John RichardsAugust 9, 2013Nice little place just outside zoo. Better food and less expensive then in zoo.
Ms. HalaMarch 20, 2010One of my favorite coffee shops to meet clients & get work done over a great cup of raspberry mocha or chai latte along with one of their specialty pastries.
Aldo CaballeroFebruary 3, 2013If your looking for an adult drink the have beer on tap as well as wine.
Golden AshbySeptember 27, 2014Great to see @chrisheuer @kristiewells out and about.. #beachday #sunshine #goodlife
Best place to grab a quick bite or cup of coffee before or after a trip to the Zoo!
AndreaAugust 24, 2010Good coffee. Friendly service. Staff seems a bit overwhelmed when busy, but still friendly.
Ana HRJuly 30, 2010Granola fruit and yogurt bowl is actually worth the 6.50 they charge for it. Hella good.
Their small coffee is SMALL. Nice place to study or chat.
