LaJava Roasting House — Restaurant in Green Bay

I've only been inside once. I always go through the drive thru. The line isnt more than 2 cars ahead of me when I go, but the wait is ridiculous! It takes 10 min if theres only me and the other day it took 20 min with 2 cars ahead of me! Then, whether theres a line or not my drink is never how it should be. Ever. Very weak expresso and in flavor it is never enough. I always order a Large White Chocolate Mocha Hot Skim Whip Cream. It is ALWAYS half full and tastes like milk with watered down coffee. Goiing forward I guess I will only be ordering the small at the Cardinal location because that's what the large is equivalent to. LaJava on Velp and W. Mason know how to make the drinks right, IMO. I'll make one of those my go to from now on. Also, I have always been able to buy a 1/2# bag of Expresso from the drive-thru, but the girl at the window told me I can't do that. What's up with that??? In all, I think LaJava has the best tasting coffee hands down, just VERY INCONSISTENT on how the baristas all make drinks. I would hope maybe you could do more quality control of that and let people pick up some dang expresso thru...

Update: 8/25 -- I continued to go despite my reservations and they stepped up their game. Great tasting coffee. Friendliest of staff. Close, convenient and excellent price. Keep up the great work! Changed my rating from 3 star to 5.

I don't know what happened but the taste of the coffee has gotten worse in the past year. It seems when the teenagers are working the quality of the drink is bad, almost tastes burnt. If you go during the week when the normal ladies are working it's savory, tasty and delicious. I went today 6-26-21 around noon, and ordered two large hot sugar free lattes one with whole the other with almond milk. We got the coffee and we couldn't tell which is which as they didn't label them and they tasted the same. It tastes burnt, stale and just not enjoyable. I had to dump mine out and just make coffee at home it was that bad. I hope this review reaches the right people and maybe correct the issue. I still highly recommend La Java as normally it's great coffee but this long time customer of the Velp Ave store might have to make the drive to the one on...

I love the coffee. Unfortunately they lack in a lot of other areas. The staff seem to not understand the business. I tried to get caramel drizzle and paid 21 dollars for 3 drinks couldn't seem to get it done right. Not sure why it was such a difficult request considering I went through twice and they refused to correct it.They also ran out of whole milk for days!!!! With a second option being skim. We live in WISCONSIN!!!!! I was lost at this point. They sell whole milk everywhere. Send someone to the gas station!!!!! I spent 20 dollars a day there and I cant deal with the inconsistencies any longer. Thinking other coffee lovers will end up coming to same conclusion they should only sell bulk or train staff better or do inventory more accurately or allow for an employee to make a supply run. Or build a Starbucks or McDonald's on velp Ave so locals dont have to compromise what they're consuming because...
