Surprisingly good lunch spot driving through Burns. Had a warm chicken wrap and Cobb salad with a slice of delicious hummingbird cake. Food was great. Thank you! read more

Nice place. I haven't had the coffee. Got a chef salad and it was pretty good. My friend got the potatoes soup and asked for a piece of grilled Chicken and they were happy to accommodate. Good service. read more

Pass on this one. Yes I know this place looks cute. Yes I know there aren't many choices in Burns but go to somewhere else. The staff however were the rudest I've experienced in a looooong time. The young lady who took our order actually rolled her eyes when I asked if there were any gf options. She clearly hates her job and every customer that walks in. She made my coffee and it was good but when I asked for a napkin she scooted one toward me, like it was a huge inconvenience for her. Btw we were the only ones in the restaurant. I wonder why that is. Cross this restaurant off the list. read more

Love the food service is great fast and it's just a great place hope that the next time you have the chance to go there GO you will hopefully love it as much as me read more

The service is great. The food is great. It is about the only eatery here in burns that is good and the cost is low.

GREAT little cafe and coffee / tea shop. Super friendly folks at the counter. Good food, I had a fresh sandwich with a mocha. Cozy vibe inside with seating that's comfortable enough to catch up on work for a bit. read more

This place seems really great with all the reviews that I saw. Drove up excited to taste some great coffee. Didn't even know they actually sell food but I didn't get any. Started to order just two large mochas on ice because of a long drive. Got my drink expecting a mocha taste but it just straight up tasted like chocolate milk! Started thinking, "is there even espresso in this drink?". Got up to ask the ladies at the counter to find out, they don't even put espresso in their mocha. It's made with chocolate milk and just 3 ounces of cold brew -_- . Then I had to pay for actual espresso shots SEPARATELY. In total I spent $16 just for two not even made right mochas. It's was so high because i tipped. The worst part is that when I paid the extra for the 4 shots of espresso, they didn't even make them until 10 minutes went by after I had to ask them about it. read more

Bella Java & Bistro - Thus is a chocolate milk with no espresso that is labeled as a mocha. Don't get the mocha. Go somewhere else - American Near Me - Burns, Oregon

Thanks to my Yelp friend Jim B's review, my husband and I had Bella Java on our radar on a drive between Boise and Bend. We're glad we stopped . We recommend it for a quick bite on the road. These are folks working very hard to run a mom and pop restaurant in a small town. They are open six days a week which must be exhausting since I imagine the owner(s) are there all the time. VIBE: Pride of ownership shows throughout in doing their best to maintain and make cozy the old space. Sparkling clean. The sound system was playing country western selections that were of the '60's era on the day of our visit. FOOD: We thought this might allow us to do a grab and go deli sandiwch or take out but they really aren't set up for that as much as eat in. Or at least that was so on the day of our visit. For my vegetarian friends I'll poiint out many of the items here are meat centric. We're not vegetarian but lean that way particularly on road trips and the options were limited. If you eat meat, in particular beef and poultry you'll be good to go. The cheese and veggie sandwich we shared was good enough and big enough for two light eaters. There were no fresh bakery products the day we popped in but a couple of day old options. I can't say whether the java is bella because although I ordered an Americano when we placed our lunch order, I am still waitiing on it to arrive as I write this review. And it wasn't for the lack of my asking - twice - when it might be ready. SERVICE; The young woman who waited on us was cordial but seemed a confused as we asked quesionts about items on the menu. Also while only a handful of people were inside, service was very slow. That's not a criticism but a comment to help you plan your stop here. It took longer than we expected. VALUE: So inexpensive it is difficult to believe they can make money. We kept that in mind to provide extra in the tip. THIS N THAT: 1) PARKING: On street. 2) ACCESSIBILITY: Technically level in but there is a gap, maybe 3" or more, of "chewed up" floor inside the front door which could be tough for wheelchair users to traverse. Once in it is all on one floor. Loo is accessible for space but no grab bars for function for folks who use wheelchairs. read more

Do not know why everyone's hating on this. I eat this stuff every Saturday and it is rather good. I have my study group here. We study all kinds of stuff. We study our future jobs. It's really good and the service is always amazing and it's only like 10 minutes for a few to get there which is amazing! I love it amazing place. Totally recommend it read more

Worked from here for the day and enjoyed it! The staff is kind and attentive, the coffee is good and the wifi is strong.

I usually stop by on the weekend and get a couple breakfast sandwiches and lattes. This week I had an extra day and went early Monday morning. I got my usual order. The older lady at the counter had a horrible attitude and didn't make me feel welcomed and the food was overall average. Not worth the $30 I spent. read more

Great service! Delicious espresso drinks, quiche, & breakfast sandwiches! Also some cute local artist merch for home or for great gifts!

I stayed in Burns for three days on a road trip, and was so happy to find this gem. The drip coffee was delicious, bottomless, and served in a hefty ceramic mug--as a barista myself, I know that if the drip is awesome; everything else is bound to be too. Also had a delicious breakfast sandwich which was made to order and served nice and toasty. Prices were great, employees were all lovely, and the wifi worked great. I enjoyed a pleasant few hours there doing some work and reading a book. Tables were spaced out nicely and the shop itself is nice and roomy. I'm from Seattle so this place isn't in my neck of the woods, but when I'm around again, Bella Java will be worth the detour! read more

We stopped here during our stay in at crystal crane hot springs. My husband had the Espresso breakfast sandwich and I had the breakfast burrito which were both tasty. Their coffee and herbal tea was also amazing. The customer service was great, our server was very friendly and sweet. We would definitely recommend this place. read more

Friendly staff (wearing mask). Good coffee. Breakfast sandwich w bacon and breakfast bagel just right. Good selection of beer, cider, kombucha, tea. Would go back later but they close at 3 and we won't be back by then. read more

Nice little spot in Burns, lots of seating of different styles, breakfast sandwich was good.

We stopped in on our way through Burns. I always love when I can find a local coffee shop to caffeinated my day rather than a run of the mill chain. This little shop didn't disappoint. I ordered a simple almond milk latte. It wass hot and tasty and done quickly. Perfect for continuing a road trip. We didn't order any food but the sweets they had out looked tasty and the menu Includes quiche (can rarely pass that up) and many salads. I'm not sure when or if I'll be through Burns again, but I certainly wouldn't hesitate to revisit and sit for a a few minutes. read more

BEWARE! My husband and I stopped in for some lunch and left quite disappointed The potato soup I ordered was not at all fresh.Soured actually! I understand that groceries are highly priced but this was ridiculous The sandwiches are 13 dollars with no side Another 3 dollars for fries to come with it As I look down there are ants on the floor and it looked as thought the floor had not been mopped for some time There were plenty of girls working but all just talking to each other Nobody asked if we needed anything or checked on us at all Very poor customer service When I let one of the girls know about the ants, she basically couldn't have cared less YUCK! Won't be going back and won't recommend to anyone else read more

Great stop right on the way out of Burns headed to Boise. Coffee was great and their breakfast sandwich was fresh and just made. The cafe was cute and clean and the service was friendly. Will definitely make it a regular stop on our travels. read more

Good coffee, good food and the cook was singing. The breakfast burrito was really good.

I have frequented Bella Java for years, and almost every time I walk away disappointed. Today was no exception. I went to lunch with my friend, the employees know us by name. We both ordered a chicken chipotle salad. Now, it was delicious, however, when I pay $12.00 for a salad I really do expect more then 7 little one inch chunks of chicken. The salad was tiny...would have fit in a small to go container. I love supporting our local businesses, but, when you spend your hard earned money on lunch it would be nice if the amount of food you got was equivalent to the money you paid. read more

On the recommendation of an out of town guest from back East I visited the local coffee shop this morning for the first time since I've been in Burns. It is a quaint place that feels like home. My breakfast sandwich was hot and tasty. I can't comment on the coffee as I don't drink it but it must be good as my friend showed up on my door step with a large to go cup. For a little shop on a corner the menu for breakfast and lunch is just fine it's not Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts and that's what makes it just fine for me. read more

Passing through and stopped for lunch. It's non offensive tolerable food considering the area. We would stop here again. The price is inexpensive and appropriate for the food. read more

Finding good coffee in the hinterlands can be a challenge. We were lucky enough to stumble across Bella Java on trip to Pocatello. Located at the corner of Broadway and Adams, the Bella is a comfortable, laid back mom and pop operation. Service is friendly if a bit slow (not a criticism, just a point to consider). The espresso was very good and prices are reasonable. Didn't order any food so we can't comment on that. All in all, the Bella is a great find, and definitely on our list to return next time we're in the Burns area. read more

Eat here for breakfast or lunch. Best coffee and latte with muffin. Ham & spinach quiche very good. Breakfast burrito fresh and flavorful. Staff friendly and efficient. read more

Glad to find decent coffee in eastern Oregon. Had I been here before noon I would have tried the beer too, but I do have my standards and drinking before noon is one of them. read more

Great little spot. Stopped here on a eclipse trip. Enjoyed chai with almond milk, Americano, salad, and scone. I would definitely come here again! read more

Bella Java was like an oasis in the wastelands of eastern Oregon. Discovering a lovely little independent coffee/tea-house in this small town was an absolute bonus for a weary traveller. I could list this place's individual positive aspects but for brevity will state that it is well worth stopping there on your travels. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a recent trip through Burns on our way to Boise. We had an excellent lunch. We had a half of a turkey sandwich and a bowl of very tasty German potato soup. We also ordered a very well made shrimp Louie Salad. Many great looking bakery items and the full array of coffee options. Definitely worth a stop if you're looking for a local cafe with good food. read more

Great atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious coffee and food. One of the more happening places in town. My only gripe is that if you order something like a breakfast burrito or a wrap, they take forever. So long, in fact, you'll wonder if they've forgotten about your order. read more

Best coffee within a 130 mile radius. Nice fella was willing to make our kid a special egg breakfast. The ceiling is very high like 20' with gorgeous tiles. Tasteful decoration. Reminds me of eugene or portland. The coffee is very good! read more

Stopped in on the way home from the Rogue River raft trip. Good coffee and prices. They do not have cook to order breakfast. Not an issue the Quiche was good. read more

Last piece of old barely bearable quiche evidently heated in a microwave, a Cobb Salad that felt unfresh with dressing that was mostly just blue cheese, and service from a young gentleman who wasn't quite sure about any of the items on the menu. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place when it comes to food. Two stars because at least they didn't rip us off on pricing. read more

Long wait, told she would be right with us. Sign said please be seated so we Sat down and waited. More people came in as waiting. Server took their orders instead of ours. Left and went to Buzz N instead. Will never come back to this Bistro read more

What a great little restaurant. Salad dressings are homemade wraps were great salads were amazing. Everything seemed very fresh and mostly homemade read more

Loved the setting...a very tastefully remodeled older building with original tin ceilings. Good deli lunch. Homemade soup, crisp lettuce in the salad and generous sized sandwich. Efficient, friendly staff. Would definitely eat there again! read more

We stopped in during a business trip and were delighted to be treated to great coffee and delicious quiche. Will come again next time we are in town! read more

Used to love the burritos, 'til they started microwaving them in wax paper. When you microwave food in wax paper it becomes waxy, disgusting. I now sit here eating a bologna sandwich for breakfast and out $5. read more

Amazing little bistro in a quaint western town. Excellent food and excellent service. The owner, Samantha, is extremely personable and professional. Such a joy to eat lunch here as we traveled through. read more

Worse experience ever. Coffee was cold. Took it back and they wanted to heat it up! Not a true barrister. Owner made a new cup and burnt it anyway! $5.25 wasted. Never going back!!! read more
