I cant even put into words how amazing this locally owned business is! I came in before work, very much in need of a good coffee and they sure provided exactly that. I ordered an iced caramel latte and I was so pleased. Although the coffee is the main selling point, the first step you take inside you’re overcome by good vibes. From the astounding artwork hugging the walls all the way to the mellow music playing this place is all around a must go!!! The owner greeted me kindly upon my entrance and gave me a list of all the delicious iced drinks I should consider while I place my order. He then explained to me all the wonderful events they hosted before COVID. Man, I sure wish I came out here when they had the Plain White Tees playing outside and for the car shows they’d host here as well. This is a fine establishment with delicious coffee and an amazing management. I would recommend this place for anyone in the area or anyone who is willing to make the drive for a delicious cup of coffee.

The vibe was on point as soon as I walked in. Locals chatting it up, free smells, and local artwork everywhere you look. Funky Java not only serves great coffee, but they also constantly support and encourage members of their community. It is a great space to relax, study, or get together with a group of friends. The owner and barista is always giving his customers the best experience, it is impossible to not smile in this establishment. Thank you Funky Java for making the small town of Villa Park a happier place.

Larry is the man, the man with the good coffee. I have enjoyed his craft since a young child (cooked hot chocolate). Thanks for keeping your doors open! Long live the funky Java
