Great spot for coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Staff was great with suggestions and service was fast. Good music playing and good vibe. Definitely a stop for your morning joe and eggs.
Not only is Java House the home of best cup of coffee in Iowa City, but the managers and staff are incredible. We had a medical emergency while eating lunch there and the staff went above and beyond to help us. Thank you!!!
I've since graduated from the UofIA, but used to come here all the time to study and have a great coffee or chai tea. We came back when we were in town and needed a great warm drink and time to warm our hands and Java House is just as great as I remember! I'd recommend this for anyone who isn't afraid to spend a little bit for a great drink and great atmosphere.
Very bad customer service.Waitress refused to serve us food as a group of 13 people (because we were big group of people), even though there was no one in the restaurant. She basically lost 13 clients and started yelling at us,very disrespectful to us, customers who literally wanted to spend their money there. If I was her boss I would fire her immediately. Never coming back to this place and I recommend you not to come here as well.
Staff is always lovely and honestly the coffee isn't bad, but management loves to make the employees work in unsafe conditions (sewage leaks, power going out in the middle of winter). Plenty of places to get coffee where they don't make their employees clean up sewage while still serving customers.
Best Pastil and Java rice in the whole wide world! hindi tinipid sa ingredients at uulit ulitin sa sarap!!!
The Java House is a long-standing corner stone of the Iowa City and University of Iowa academic culture. This is the preferred study and socializing local for both graduate students and undergraduate students because of the open and friendly atmosphere which supports conversation and work. There’s a plethora of coffees, teas, bakery items, and sandwiches to choose from for a quick bite or treat. There’s also live music on Friday nights featuring local performer with no cover charged. They also have their own App to make ordering easier.
Great atmosphere! One of few coffee shop in downtown open early (before 7am). Love the coffee and pastry but the staff could have shown better passionate.
Service was excellent, and my gahd the cinnamon rolls!! ?❤️
I got a wonderful quadruple espresso shot latte, and I always have great service from the friendly staff. I have been going here since high-school, and I plan to continue the tradition.
