Kathy's Java Express presents a stark contrast in dining experiences, leaving patrons divided. While many rave about the warm, inviting atmosphere and delectable menu offerings like pimento cheese sandwiches, Big Bird Soup, and creative hash brown rollers, others have reported alarming hygiene issues, including live bugs in food containers. Despite exceptional service and quality meals for an unbeatable price, recent complaints about staff response to cleanliness concerns raise serious doubts. With its prime downtown location and loyal customers, Kathy's Java Express remains a popular choice, but prospective diners may want to exercise caution before their visit.

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the veggie wrap was! It comes served warm and with cheese, so make sure to request it without. It's a great option for lunch before browsing the antique mall next door.

Java Express has never disappointed us. Sandwiches and quiche are always on point. This is a nice quiet spot for lunch in downtown Sanford. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Located right in downtown within a short walking distance to a lot of shops. Try the big bird soup!

Super relax atmosphere, nice place to go for a self serve coffee with cream or request an speciality coffee. Good variety of sandwiches options and other specials. Right next to the antique store, so a good place for coffee then look around for some antiques.
