This is a great little coffee house located in the heart of Wilton Manors. They offer just about any concoction of coffee you want along with plenty of tasty sides. Their selections of quiches, cakes, cookies and pastries are very good. I particularly like their very thick slices of Quiche Lorraine. Aside from coffee and edibles, they also offer a pretty good selection of fruit juices and other soft drinks. Their creamy hot chocolate is another favorite. I order it instead of coffee sometimes.
The atmosphere is relatively quiet with club music playing in the background, although their cappuccino machines can break the silence periodically. This used to be Java Boys. The new owners remodeled and added more seating. It's very tasteful and understated. You will tend to see a lot of their clientele using the space as an office. Tablets and laptops are everywhere, at least during the day. They have an area of outdoor seating, but in Florida heat, it's not used as much. For now, the weather has been comfortable, so it was full on the day I visited. In another month or so, the heat will probably be unbearable in the afternoon.
The staff is attentive and seems to get along well. They work as a team and are very congenial. The guys are very efficient and keep up with keeping the space tidy. You do see a few small groups scattered about and a few couples, but for the most part, it's as I described previously, single men focused on their laptops quite intensely. There's an ebb and flow as some stay for a while working intensely and others come for a while and go. There's steady foot traffic too. The rest of us, like this reviewer are on their phones doing whatever....
It's a nice alternative to Stork's, another area coffee house. Java Joe's does not offer as many food selections. It's all lighter fare, but quite honestly, what they offer is more satisfying. I find the food offered by their rival to be more diverse, but seasoning is usually on the bland side. I think Stork's intentionally tries to stay more neutral with their seasonings. For my palette, that works against the hem, but they're a mainstay in the community and have been around for many years. It's a matter of personal preference.
As for Java Joe's, if you're not tied to an office for your work, this looks like the perfect hangout for a quick break and to also get a few tasks done. I'm not sure what it's like at night, so I can't really say what to expect, but I know from experience that parking at night can be a challenge, although there are other parking options in easy walking distance. The coffee house is also located in a complex that has three bars along with several other popular nightspots that are nearby, so this is probably a nice place to take a break from dancing, or maybe to explore before going wild on a dance floor. Overall, it's a nice place with good service and...
Read moreToday Oct 12 around 4.30’pm i visited Java Boys and had coffee and a blueberry muffin Something happened, but the Attendant was Hostile and unfriendly toward me I am 85 years old Hispanic and wear a hat and I am a gay man From the moment I entered I sensed something strange from this man. To make A long story short I after a few minutes after been served decided to ask why he The Attendant was being rude to me. The Coffee he served me had lots of cream and it was iced cold I asked for a little of hot coffee to be added He said if I emptied it out and Isaid no I drank a little and it is very cold so he said you want more coffee!! Wrong answer After a few words He said to me “ I am working now so I have to stay But you can leave” Imagine that answer. If Possible I would like to have a manager contact me Because his behaviour is unacceptable I am a retired Flight Attendant for AAL with 37 working with the public. This man should not be working at Javas Boy such a nice place. A place I always liked . I Drove from Pompano Beach to have a coffee and was actually offended by this Attendant I did not ask for his name But time of my visit was 4.30 pm on Oct 12/23 Thank you Rene J Ortiz Addition to yesterday comments today It is now next day Oct 13 and I realized I didn’t add something else that happened with this Attendant yesterday on my visit to JavaBoys His negative attitude toward me could of been a result of not leaving a Tip. I paid the machine didn’t have a Tip I could deduct also from my card. Very unusual as usually they have a percentage and I didn’t have any cash loose. I saw he ( guy attendant) had a Jar for Tips. I remembered I had 3 $5 bills so went To my bag and took one out and as I came back he wasn’t there. He Was in the back of the Store. Waited he didn’t come back I repeated this 3 times finally he came out but too fast went back Inside Finally I went toward the back and called him And ask for some hot coffee to be added in my cup All started wrong then I try in making conversation told him about having tried my 5$ dollars to get change for a Tip to give him and he said if I touched his money that will be stealing and law punishable . Now what is this man crazy And from there he went to tell me I could leave the Store but he couldn’t Totally unacceptable
And is the reason I would like to REPORT THIS WORKER because this man affected my afternoon and it wasn’t fair Thanks for reading I repeat since I don’t have his name HE WAS WORKING AT 4 pm on OCt 12 at WM location Thanks. A manager please contact me I will try to go visit today and see if I can in person see one Thanks RenejOrriz...
Read moreBEWARE! If you project confidence and complain they call the police. Over $2.39. I ordered a large coffee with Splenda and creme. Received it lukewarm. I went back to the counter to inform them and he tells me “I can put it in the microwave.” I was perplexed but just walked away. I went for a little stroll around the area while the coffee kept getting colder and colder. I opened the lid, which I should’ve before I walked out, and it was white as hell! I just threw it out because I was already far away from this pathetic establishment. Well, on the way back my frustration grew. So I went back in and told them either a refund or a Diet Coke. But oh no, he wasn’t going to let me talk to him like that. CALLED THE POLICE!!! I’ve been going there for years and god knows how much money I spent in there. To not accommodate me tells me how they really are. I’ll never go back, EVER! HUNTERS NIGHT CLUB, the owner ,will probably agree with them because the employment pool is slim to none. It’s like a revolving door. They preach love and equality, but it only applies to some people. Disappointing. Save your money and get better products and better service. GARBAGE! Update: Hunters has purchased this business and now they’ve monopolized that whole corner. Now you’re probably going to get worse services. Stay extremely far away. Voted #1? Number one for what? Inequality? Mr. Owner, the people who read this aren’t stupid. I’ll take my Diet...
