★★★★★ 5.0 Timothy Sanders · Oct 2025

Absolutely fantastic meal at Java River Café & Bakery! I stopped in and tried the meatloaf burger with the homemade ketchup glaze, along with their homemade tomato basil tortellini soup, and both were incredible. The burger was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor — true comfort food done right. Chose to go with no bun. Homemade broccoli salad was the perfect side dish as well. The soup tasted fresh and homemade, rich with basil and creamy tomato goodness, and the tortellini added a perfect touch. Truly embraced the farm to table taste I look for in cooking and restaurants. An employee then had me try their best selling cookie. A homemade CHOCOLATE CHIP with BANANA cookie. Instantly, made me feel like my mom’s banana bread, but in cookie form. Highly recommend this to ev

The cream horn stole the show! Delicious cream, flaky crust, and smooth chocolate. Warmed up, perfection! The maple scone paired perfectly with the hot maple latte. This spot is clearly a local hot spot. Comfy seating, unlimited drink menu and homemade treats! Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite and 1 small town at a time. Explore everything!

Today lunch was far from there best, my sandwich was half the meat, the ff was hard greasy, the salad was off I really like it here, but not today. The salad was making sick. So I did not finish it. They gave me a less then a half cup of honey mustard I ask for more and little bit more than the first. 2 oz cup. I felt like they didn't want to part with it. This is a honest review. I will be back

Broccoli salad was super tasty. Sandwich was good but not anything spectacular, a Mother's Day special. I'm not a fan of sweetness in main entrees. Cutest women's bathroom I've seen in a very long time. Counter service was good. The young man busboy was great and checked on me at my table. The drink was a sugar free Spring seltzer. $17

Great place! Good food, service, and atmosphere. We were recommended this place by friends and we can see why ourselves now. Decent prices, nice mix of food as a breakaway from normal fast-food restaurants.
