LaJava Roasting House

I have been here a few times now for coffee and other beverages. Their service is consistently friendly and efficient. Time spent in the drive through is reasonable, and certainly better than some of their competitors. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is fine, but nothing super remarkable. I typically hit the drive through. The coffee here is good; my experience has been that they have a smoother and more consistent taste than some of their competitors. They have a really good selection of lattes and other coffee drinks. I also recommend one of their chai variations. On the food front, I can't say I have much experience.

The items themselves were good. At least this time they put the right meat on my breakfast sandwich and my latte actually had some color to it 🙄 I understand being short-staffed, but at the bare minimum don't leave someone sitting at the drive-thru window for 5 minutes when they've already been w

The drive through is the slowest I have ever experienced. 15 minutes and counting in line, no way to back out and there were only 2 cars in line in front of me. It feels like going to the DMV. I love supporting mom and pop establishments but if they are this slow all the time, I do t know how they stay in business.

My kind of place great selection great service picked up a bag to take home even. This is not a coffee house for people that enjoy drinking Folgers coffee. Great job Lacava roasting house
