Latte was not good, espresso is really bitter and not fresh tasting at all. The people who work there have no idea where the beans are from. They said most people use a lot of flavor syrup to cover the taste of espresso, which is not what you would expect from a place that has Java in the name !Bagel sandwich obviously made on a Costco bagel not even toasted charged extra .50 for a slice of tomato and $1.50 for that disgusting premade guacamole from Costco. Shouldn’t be hard to have an actual avocado if you are selling sandwiches all day. Service also quite rude/stand off ish. Would not return.ETA it looks like the older reviews that brought me in here are from before the pandemic and it was totally different. They don’t have cute little pastries anymore. Everything is clearly from Costco or the like.

The boba and milk teas could use some improvement, as they taste a bit artificial and overly sweet. Overall, it's a nice place to relax and study. The baked goods have a Costco-like quality, so I'm unsure about their freshness. However, the egg and cheese croissant was quite good.

I'm quite particular about my coffee order, and since moving to Virginia, the ladies here are the only ones who can prepare it just the way I like. The staff is always friendly, and I particularly enjoy their breakfast sandwiches and bubble tea!
