Cafe Java - New Haven

Friendly staff making AWESOME comfort food. Specialty coffee drinks as well! Great little spot to unwind.

Kathy, Bruce, and Curt, they take care of you and learn your name. It's like Cheers was back in the day, but the food and coffee are probably much better. I love coming here every day for my coffee and a sandwich or salad. And I like all of the people that frequent it, too.

During lunch break from having to serve jury duty I found this coffee shop down the street and decided to pop in. The two behind the counter were very friendly and inviting, and the special grilled cheese with tomato or bacon with soup was PERFECT . The chicken corn chowder came out piping hot and didn't even need any salt or pepper. I'm usually skeptical when someone has to make my coffee instead of me doing it, but unlike dunkin donuts the gentleman made it just right! they seem to have a familiar and friendly customer fan base, and I would definitely go back

Pleasant service and great coffee as well as many other food options.. stop in and say hello to Kathy!

This is an excellent gem in the New Haven breakfast scene. 100% hands down best breakfast sandwich in the city IMO. Sausage, egg, and cheese in a Portuguese roll with spicy aioli (Mayo? Whatever. The roll is absolutely key and they nailed it. The Mayo added a ton to the combo for me but if you’re not into that, omit it. The coffee was fantastic, I got a medium roast that tasted fresh and had no off flavors consumed black w/o sugar. These guys care about their coffee. Best of all, if you can beat the best breakfast sandwich, we’re the people. Cathy, Bruce, and Myra were all awesome and talkative and made me feel super welcome. Make this your new spot. You’ll be seeing me around.
