Reviews summary

Nestled in the vibrant Union Depot, this modern café is a true local gem. Renowned for its friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere, it offers freshly made breakfast items like egg and sausage sandwiches that far exceed typical grab-and-go fare. Specialty drinks, including unique smoothies and refreshing iced coffees, delight visitors, though some iced beverages missed the mark. The café’s commitment to accommodating dietary needs and providing exceptional catering service adds to its appeal. With reasonable prices, a clean environment, and ample outlets, it’s a perfect stop for commuters and visitors seeking quality food and warm hospitality.

Was Deb Leonard Miller at Java Express a mag?

I went to Java express and saw the Hurst Family perform during the Jazz Fest. When you go there you have to get the Mama’s drink. It has pineapple,bananas, and lemon, and other secret ingredients lol. It is awesome! And the people that own it and work there are super friendly! View all feedback.

What Beatrice Weissnat dislikes about Java Express:

I hate being this guy (particularly because the staff is so nice) and usually give 5-star or none at all, but the current 4.6 rating mislead myself and my friend independently of each other. I asked for iced americano and iced soy latte, when we saw they were about to serve them hot to us, we politely reminded them the drinks were iced, so they were poured over ice (which is not how to do it), it resulted in two wate...

The most amazing people run this place! I am addicted to the Mama's juice and the Papa's juice, for that matter!

The women working here are fantastic, with wonderfully friendly personalities. They even went out of their way to make me chocolate chip pancakes, which turned out perfectly!

During my visit to the Twin Cities from New York City, I decided to explore the area by bus and stumbled upon this hidden gem at Union Depot. It's a modern and chic café that offers a variety of healthy options. The owner went out of their way to prepare a special breakfast for me to accommodate my dietary needs, and I couldn't have asked for a friendlier experience. The food was delicious, and the café itself was clean and well-equipped. I would rate it a solid 5 stars!

These ladies are truly fantastic! We requested their catering services for our event at the last minute, and they delivered spectacularly! They were incredibly kind, the food was delicious, and they arrived right on time for pickup. I highly recommend them—make sure to try the biscuits! Thank you, Crystal and Christine!

Met the owner today, and she is a great person! We are working across from the shop, and she has been very kind to us! Ordered up a smoothie and it was verrrrrrry good!! Going to taste test some chicken and waffles this afternoon. Check it out!

Iced coffee and breakfast sandwich were delicious. The egg and sausage was actually made fresh on a griddle upon order rather than microwaved like a Starbucks or caribou would do. The women behind the counter was also one of the friendliest people I have ever met.

I asked for iced americano and iced soy latte, when we saw they were about to serve them hot to us, we politely reminded them the drinks were iced, so they were poured over ice (which is not how to do it), it resulted in two watery drinks that we trashed shortly thereafter but couldn't bring ourselves to go complain because the ladies working there were so nice. Later that day we met up with a friend who was visiting that started telling me the same exact story, so at least we got a good laugh out of it, unfortunately not good coffee.
