Java John's - Nevada City
Java John's
Description
Tucked on Broad Street, this quaint coffee shop charms with cozy seating, early morning hours and friendly service. House-made breakfasts, vegan chorizo burritos, bagels, pastries and praised coffee make it a neighborhood favorite; pet-friendly policies, pay-it-forward vouchers and a sunny people-watching spot add warmth. Drawbacks include intermittent slow service, occasional forgetfulness or rudeness, and inconsistent cold-case freshness (wilted greens and old salads). Great for casual breakfasts, study sessions and community hangs, but be cautious with prepped cold items during busy times.

This place is charming. It has a cozy atmosphere and unique, creative vibes that give it a special touch.
Coffee and tea were great, had the green eggs and ham bagel, salsa in house is delicious. Fun art to look at.
Really nice people. Smiles in the morning. Opens at 7, 7 days a week. They work hard and make great coffee and snacks. Pet friendly. Comfy and cozy and you feel welcome!
This place is super cute honestly, and the coffee is decent if it’s made by the right person. However every single time I’ve ordered a bagel they either forget and I end up waiting 20 minutes (even if no one else is in there) I watched the woman make my bagel this last time and she never once washed her hands, was rude at the front with me as if I was an inconvenience and even though there was only a couple people in there. I always over tip, I’m quiet and try to stay out of the way so it does hurt sometimes when employees are rude. Most of Nevada city employees are like this though so I try to not take it personally they must not be paid well. I only came because my usual coffee spot had a line out the door. Just feeling discouraged when I try and support this place, I am let down every time.
The atmosphere and staff here are always wonderful and the made to order sandwiches and coffee drinks are good. That being said the last 3 burritos I've gotten here over the course of months all had old wilted Spinach that has expired. A buddha bowl I recently got also had wilted greens. The kale coleslaw we got as a side dish recently was old and rotten also. I think the cold case dishes are being left too long in the case. Love the atmosphere but I caution people against the cold case dishes.
