First time at Le Crave, disgusting food…read more I ordered the mixed berry smoothie and Caprese sandwich to go. The smoothie was average at best. Based on the shriveled slice of tomato, the wilted arugula, and balsamic glaze that had completely SOAKED INTO the mozzarella and THROUGH the ciabatta - all the way to the bottom side - this sandwich was likely made at least a full day before. I would not have eaten this sandwich even if they tried to give it to me for free. My total bill was $19.79 - what an absolute waste of money. * I contacted the restaurant via phone and email, but no response!

I asked for an iced coffee and a muffin with peanut butter on the side. I then simply asked "can I please get my muffin toasted?" And she looked at me like I had ten heads. She looked so confused like I had just asked her to solve a math equation. At first she said huh I've never heard of that before, I don't think I can do that and I explained to her that I just would like it cut in half and toasted in that toaster. She then said she could do that (yeah it's not that hard...) and ten minutes later (yes it took forever to get our order) she came over and brought it to me and announced out loud to everyone "what a weird request" with such a judgemental look on her face. AND she didn't even cut it and toast it! It was still whole and barely luke warm which means she probably just stuck it in the microwave for ten seconds... Is toasting a muffin that outrageous of a request?? Maybe it is in Iowa. I just thought it was very rude and she made me feel dumb for even asking for a warm muffin. Not the end of the world but it really rubbed me the wrong way. Anyway, a word of advice to the lady: be nice to your customers who are paying YOU for great service and food!

My wife and I met up with a couple of our friends at this Java House location for Sunday morning…read morecoffee/breakfast. Here were our thoughts: Food/Drink: We ordered a couple breakfast sandwiches, a bakery item, and two iced coffees. Breakfast sandwich #1 -- Classic Breakfast (This menu item comes with egg and your choice of bread, breakfast protein, and cheese. Our feeling was that it is just a reliable, run-of-the-mill breakfast sandwich that is comparable to most other cafés. Rating = 7.3/10). Breakfast sandwich #2 -- Morning Muscle (This item was definitely a step up in terms of satiety and flavor when compared to the classic breakfast sandwich. I thought the hash brown and chipotle aioli really added a lot of deliciousness for me. Rating = 8.0/10). Bakery item -- Lemon Poppyseed Muffin (This was the best menu item we ordered on this visit to Java House. The flavor was great, and it is what moved the needle from a 3 to 4 star experience on this occasion. Rating = 8.2/10). Coffee #1 -- Iced Vanilla Latte (For me, the iced vanilla latte is my benchmark order for comparing coffee shops since this was my standard order when I first started frequenting cafés. Java House's is typically almost reaching my top tier, but on this occasion and our most recent visit prior, I've been a little disappointed in the flavor (or lack thereof) of their lattes. The latte was still good enough that we drank it all with no issue, but I've come to expect more out of this Java House location. Rating = 6.8/10.) Coffee #2 -- Iced Hazelnut Latte (Over time, my favorite latte flavor has evolved from vanilla to hazelnut. Because of this - I was overjoyed when I moved back to the Iowa City area in September that Java House had one of the best hazelnut lattes my tastebuds had ever experienced (consistently clocking between a high 8 to low 9 rating). However, on this and my prior visit, my latte was lacking flavor not just in the hazelnut sense, but I could hardly taste the espresso itself. I'm hoping these recent experiences are just a fluke! Rating = 4.3/10). Service: The service here is always solid - nothing exceptional but also nothing to complain about. Ambiance: Similar to the point on service - this location has a nice, clean space with plenty of seating but also nothing to truly unique or special to set this coffee shop apart. All in all, I'm a fan of The Java House and am hopeful they are able to deliver solid 4 (if not 5) star experiences in the future every time we return.

This location is really nice with plenty of seating, friendly service and a drive thru if you are on the go. Everyone enjoyed their food, me included. I got the 1/2 a sandwich and salad combo. The portion size on the salad was larger than expected which was a welcomed surprise because the Caesar salad I order had amazing flavor. I got the tiramisu to go which hit the spot for a dessert treat and appreciated that it was not overly sweet. Before leaving I could help but notice a poster advertising the Strawberry Dream Matcha one of their specialty summer drinks so I ordered it to go. Let's just say I'm still dreaming about this drink. It was sweeter than I would normally order but transported me to a nostalgic memory of the most delicious strawberry milk from my childhood. I will definitely be stopping back by this location. Tip: The food menu at this location is not the same as other Java House (Heirloom Tomato) locations.

Still amazing and the only coffee shop in the area open past 7pm! Love the food and drinks.read more

#1 Fireplace #2 Late hours…read more#3 Tons of tables #4 Patio space - I can't wait for spring, summer and fall to get here Have been coming here in mornings for coffee on the way into work and coming back in evenings to get some work done after dinner and the gym. The late hours here makes for a great alternative to the hubbub at Java House and there's usually parking easily found here. Great coffee, Kickapoo from Wisconsin, and americanos! I've been working my way through the loose-tea menu. Earl Grey is a staple for me and the blend here has a strong flavor. The Rooibos Chai is very good and doesn't have the Rooibos after taste that my tastebuds do not like. My only recommendation would be a dish to hold the leaves after an adequate amount of steeping time. I've taken to using the to-go coffee lids to hold the mesh strainer and tea leaves. I haven't had a chance to partake in the beer and wine selection, but hope to soon. There is a quite and extensive list to choose from! Staff has always been friendly and the background music perfect in the evenings. I love that the tables are larger than the usual small cafe tables. I can have a giant textbook and a notebook spread out while working. The loveseat in front of the fireplace is popular. One of these days i'll get to enjoy with a good book and a cup of coffee.

The inside is a smaller version of what you see when you go into the chain breakfast spot that ends with hop. Tables and booths for you to choose to sit at. With that said, we were seated and given a chance to review the menu. I opted for the meat lovers omelette which came with hasbrowns and a choice of toast or a pancake (opted for the pancake). I also requested to add cheese. Food came to the table but we had to flag down the waitress to bring us some silverware. The waitress was friendly and kept our cups filled. Now not being from this area I'm not sure if it's a regional thing or just a here thing but what I got wasn't what I was expecting when I ordered an omelette. Omelettes are usually fluffy and filled with ingredients on the inside. This was more of a whisked egg that cooked on a flat griddle and cooked. Sadly the slice of cheese added hadn't melted so there's that as well. I had asked for my hash browns to be cooked hard (crispy), what I got were taters browned on one side and very soft on the other. I think that there was a mishap in the kitchen as I didn't get my pancake until the end of the meal and it didn't have much flavor to it and overall the whole meal seem to lack any seasoning (once again not sure if that a regional thing as I found this to be common during my stay). The meal was affordable but it was a basic meal. Should I come back I think I'll try the chicken fried steak which someone in my party ordered and raves about.
