The owner is a friendly guy who is easy to chat with. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the hospitality is exceptional. The espresso is smooth and has a nice hint of sweetness. The prices are incredibly affordable—I spent less than $3. Overall, I definitely plan to return.

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.

You can even have a vegan pumpkin spice latte! I was pleasantly surprised to find live music on a Monday evening. I'm really excited about this new addition to the neighborhood!
