Java Jo's — Restaurant in Millcreek

I’m really sad to be making this review but I felt compelled to share this story. I go to Java Jos every single day and most days I end up going twice. Often times when I stop for a coffee, I will ask for a water cup or two to fill up my water bottle because our home faucets are not safe to drink from. This has never been a problem but this particular day, Chelsea wrote a fairly condescending comment on my water cup that I was really sad to find when I got home. I go to Java Jos 7 days a week and always tip. Emily, the manager, who is always so lovely, apologized for Chelsea’s poor behavior the next day and expressed that she asked Chelsea not to do that and she still did. Frankly, Chelsea’s behavior was hurtful and I could’ve simply explained to her why I get water cups if she just asked me. I have been coming to Java Jo’s almost every single day for the last year and a half. The gals there have been nothing but lovely until this experience, including Chelsea. I am saddened that this experience happened and has made it difficult for me to enjoy the Java Jo’s experience. I will be reconsidering coffee shops to visit with my family...

I'm not from slc and my airbnb happened to be close to this location, which I'm now so grateful for!! The coffee is awesome, with plenty of options, the service was dependable and fantastic, (especially considering I walked up and there was already a crazy long line of cars), but the real star of show was watching the baristas greet customers by name or with their coffee orders. Thank you so much MAYA, you were patient, lovely to work with, and honestly you were the reason I wrote a review in the first place! For sure give Java Joe's a try!

The best coffee place you'll find on the East Side of the Salt Lake Valley. I often will drive 10 miles out of my way just to get coffee here. And it's always part of my pre-rock climbing routine up in Millcreek. They don't have any locations on the West Side of the free way, which, you know what, is just fine with me, because I'd spend all my money there if the were. The espresso quality is so much better and if you return frequently, they quickly learn your name and your order. They know I always get the Caramel Machiatto no matter which...
