Jacobs Java Chicago Food & Drive Thru

Love the cappuccino and iced coffee. The Chicago dog is awesome. Mr. Mark is always a joy to talk to. Would definitely enjoy brewed tea options as a tea fan but the coffee options are great. The peach smoothie is tasty as well.

My first time here and I enjoyed this cozy outdoor spot—it’s drive-through/order-at-the-window only. I parked across the street and savored my pineapple + peach smoothie outside on a beautiful day. The regulars, who clearly know it’s a one-man show, were so friendly and showed me the ropes: “Have a seat and someone will come take your order.” Marq, the owner, is super cool with the a great sense of humor. Not the place for you if you’re in a rush, but if you’ve got patience and a smile, you’ll enjoy it. So give him your time and a respectful tip! Will be back to try the rest of the menu items!

Phenomenal! I randomly was in the area and decided to try something new. When talked to Mark (Jacob is his last name), I told him I didn’t live in the area so I wasn’t going to be a frequent customer. He responded “that’s too bad because you’re going to love your food…and you’re going to want to come back!” HE WAS RIGHT!!! I inhaled my Chicago dog. The bun was soft, the toppings were fresh, and it had a kick to it! I also got an iced coffee and it was DELICIOUS. I may not be in the area often, but I WILL be back!!

Great local hole in the wall style coffee shop. Really is a hidden gem, literally and figuratively (since it's a little tough to find it on Google Maps due to it being by a one way road - however it is definitely worth the trip to it!). Once you walk up (or drive up to the mini drive thru window) the owner is super friendly and welcoming. The coffee is great and has a very nice patio area that's nicely landscaped under the shade of a beautiful tree. Ordered the spicy polish sausage and it was fantastic - perfect amount of spice to it, just enough for a little kick. However, if you're getting food too highly recommend just parking and ordering since the food is made fresh after ordering and takes time. The sign on the store recommends ordering ahead to save time though, so you can pick up a

I absolutely love 👏🏾coming👏🏾 to 👏🏾Jacob’s 👏🏾Java! 😊I work in the area and one day randomly googled coffee shops near me…I mean there iiiiss a Starbucks buttt I’ve grown to appreciate local shops these days without all the extra additives that large chains have. So here pops up Jacob’s Java and I’ve been hooked ever since! Not to mention he had more than coffee. I hadn’t tried a Chicago dog prior to Jacob’s and now I see why it’s a hit! 😋And the cherry on top is the owner is ABSOLUTELY fantastic! He delivers top notch, professional and personable service🙌🏾. If you haven’t already…check him out. You won’t be disappointed!🥳
