This is such a cozy little gem! we are staying with family and wanted to sneak in a quick little lunch just the two of us. my grilled cheese was delicious- there’s really nothing better than tomatoes in the summer time. you can tell this place values and cares about their customers. 10/10 recommend. I also got an iced chai with espresso- delicious :-)

Went to Julie's Java House for the first time today because I was craving scones. I was not disappointed. The scones are gigantic and delicious! I'll give their coffee a try next time I go there. The place itself has a very warm and cozy atmosphere.

Absolutely delicious pastries and drinks. The service was spectacular, very sweet and kind.

Be warned they take cash only, but they do have an ATM next to the register for convenience.

This is a great little coffee house that makes incredible coffee and muffins. I deduct a star because Unfortunately they dont take card, so you have to have cash or use their atm and pay a $3 fee. In mid-2023, there are many affordable POS system options for small business and many of us don’t carry cash in a post COVID world. Otherwise the drinks and treats are outstanding and the service was friendly.

I had the frittata which was excellent, but the homemade bread was almost even more amazing. I love dark roast coffee, so thank you for having it as so many places don't regularly serve it, and your roast is excellent. Thank you for the cute quiet spot to have a meeting with a co-worker.

Tired of motel coffee we searched for the "usual suspects." Not finding any closer than 15 miles away, we saw the listing for Julies Java and decided to check it out. We found very friendly and helpful staff, delicious coffee, and outstanding cookies (hubby had chocolate chip and I had peanut butter). Definitely would come here again the next we are in the area, which is once or twice a year.

It's a good atmosphere and they have some yummy treats, but they do not serve coffee. Coffee drinkers looking for good coffee… it's not here. They serve flavored coffee drinks, but they do not serve real coffee. If you are looking for that burnt flavor drip coffee, then here is your place. But a real cup of coffee, they do not serve.

It was a nice little set up and seemed to have a great atmosphere but unfortunately the food and drinks were far from impressive. First time ever going there and unfortunately will never go back. My children's food contained mold as well as personally getting sick from my drink. It is a huge concern about the food and drink causing us to get sick.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the shop was quiet the morning I spent here which was perfect for getting work done. There is ample seating, electrical outlets, and they have wifi that works well. My caramel iced americano was amazing and reasonably priced for the quality. I would definitely frequent here if I was from the area.

We arrived right before the 1 PM closing time on a Sunday afternoon. I apologized and asked if it was a problem and the friendly Chicana woman said no. A minute later the young blonde 20-something said it was closing time. So we sat out back in the cold. 20 minutes later as we were leaving, the two workers were also leaving the premises and I said to the girl that we could’ve been inside the whole time they were closing up. Employees 1, paying customers, 0.

I had a 4 hour layover waiting for my train. I stopped in this place to grab a bite to eat and kill some time. It's mostly coffee and sandwiches and that sort of thing. I had the BLT, it's not just a normal BLT, it was very good. The place was not busy at all, probably because of the time of day. I hung out there for almost the time I was waiting for my train. They didn't seem to mind at all. The lady working there was very nice, I think she may have been the manager or owner. I would definitely go there again if I'm ever back in that area.
