The Java House
Description
Beloved by locals and students, this sunlit coffeehouse serves consistently excellent coffee, carefully brewed lattes and inventive cold brews alongside fresh pastries, standout tiramisu and a full breakfast/lunch menu. Housed in a warm brick-and-wood interior with ample seating and outlets, it’s a cozy, laptop-friendly spot for studying, family visits or quick stops. Prices are competitive and the shop feels clean and safe; service is typically friendly though one visitor noted occasional brusqueness.

Always a hit. Their coffee is great and gets the job done caffeine-wise. The staff here are always friendly, kind, and understanding. This is the type of place where you can leave your laptop out while getting your coffee or going to the restroom and not having to worry about anything. Great pastries too!
Really good lattes and muffins. They time their shots and monitor milk temperatures. Not the average pull and temp you get at Howard's former coffee emporium. Worth the effort. Still worth the effort and time to divert to this coffee place. It is always the final stop before leaving town. Something I look forward to.
The Tiramisu at The Java House is absolutely amazing. My fiancé, who has traveled extensively, claims it’s her favorite dessert worldwide, and nothing else even compares. The coffee here is excellent as well. This popular spot is a favorite among University of Illinois students for meeting up and studying. The menu offers a great selection that complements the cozy atmosphere perfectly.
