I really enjoyed my latte. It was lavender flavored. I also really enjoyed the patio since my husband and I were traveling with our dog. However, the breakfast sandwich could have been better. The croissant was extremely cold. It was weird eating hot eggs and sausage in between a cold croissant. We're spending a few more days in Denison, and will be going to other coffee shops now In hopes of finding a hot breakfast! read more

This is my favorite place for coffee and a quick bite! The food is fresh and delicious. They have a great variety of dishes and beverages to choose from. The staff is wonderfully pleasant. I would recommend CJ's for all age groups. The decor is pleasing to the eye. It is a very relaxing environment. They also have a drive thru if you're in a hurry! OUTSTANDING!!! read more

CJ's Coffee Cafe - BLTA and a Greek Pita with a Blended and an iced coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denison, Texas

Awesome menu & friendly staff. They have 3 locations & each has it's own vibe. My particular favorite is the original downtown Denison spot. We've got history & it was all good. read more

We love CJ's! Food and latte's are the bomb!

Ordered a salad, drink and a piece of pie at 10:55. They said they would contact me when ready. At 12:30 I texted them ,I was coming anyway. When I got there, I was told they didn't have my order. I said forget it and began to pull away. The Lady told me to come back. She said she found my order. She brought out a salad. I asked about my other items, she went in and brought me a drink. I asked about the pie, she told me they didn't serve pie. At this point I just said fine and drove away. I checked their menu and sure enough there's pie. So I ended up paying over$20.00 for a salad and drink. Needless to say, that's the last time I'll order from there. read more

CJ's really did a great thing when they opened their new location in Sherman a few years ago. Local and very well run.

So Darn Good !!! Friendly staff also. Love that there's a drive thru . Foods good but I am obsessed with the coffee here .

We bought a truck in Sherman, and while waiting for the salesman to get it ready for us we drove to Denison to CJ's--we found CJ's on Yelp, and I am so happy we did!!! I ordered a peanut butter mocha blast at the recommendation of the barista, and Chris had a vanilla latte~ both were very good. We shared a slice of strawberry cake, and as far as cakes go this one was melt-in-your-mouth sweet, sugary goodness! Will definitely stop in the next time we are in Denison. *The staff here are very friendly and very patient. Ask them for a drink recommendation--you won't be disappointed! read more

I love CJ's. It's more than just a place to grab coffee. I've had SO many WONDERFUL memories of times with my family and friends visiting while chowing down or just sharing coffee. Plus, it doesn't hurt that they have amazing food and 1 billion different amazing drinks! I love this place! It comes highly recommended by me... for sure!! read more

We were not pleased! It is a copy cat of Bean Me Up in downtown Sherman which is by far one of the best places for gourmet coffee and eats! When we compared the menus, CJ's, shameful! Your coffee and food is sub par! read more

I will admit that when I found myself with some extra time in Denison, I wasn't too hopeful about the coffee shop I would find there. So imagine my super pleasant surprise when as I was walking in I saw a sign "we now have coffee on nitro!" The shop itself has a super casual and cute front porch area, and the decor inside is just like your favorite indie coffee shop at home. The employees were friendly and even held my coffee at the bar while I used their restroom (which is around the side of the building outside). My nitro was delicious- I would totally come back if I'm in town again! read more

Dennison's best coffee house!! Great coffee, great atmosphere, great service! We enjoy the homemade dishes from the breakfast Big Bird to the chicken pot pie you must order early or they are gone! read more

CJ's Cafe is a cute little spot with great art. If you're a coffee person, then this is the place for you! They have a variety of coffees and sandwiches. You can sit by the window and catch a glimpse of its beautiful town. read more

CJ's Coffee Cafe - CJ's Coffee Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denison, Texas

Love, love, love this place!! I stop by as often as I can on my way to school. Definitely recommend the drinks and food...it's so fresh and delicious!! read more

Pretentious small minded people. I feel sorry for the locals, they don't know any better. This "coffee" is by far the worst in North Texas. I would personally pay anyone to go to a nearby Starbucks instead and Starbucks is a HUGE sin for me. The employees are nasty and rude and can hardly handle a simple black coffee. What a shame of a "cafe". read more

Very nice atmosphere and interior setup. Coffee was delicious. Staff friendly and it looked like the drive thru service was fast.

I love this place. The food is excellent & they have the best unsweet tea around. The staff is always warm & welcoming. My boyfriend says they have wonderful sweet tea & flavored coffees around too. We just wish they were open later than 6:00 pm. Sad read more

Delicious coffee and pastries and super friendly staff! I may be addicted to their Mexican mocha coffee...but I'm okay with that!

Absolutely delicious cappuccino! We happened upon CJ's Coffee Cafe as we were heading out of Texas to OK on hwy 75. SO much better than Starbucks! read more

I love CJ's. I always get their smoothies. They have so much flavor in them. Always a pleasure going there. Is a bit too "hipster" for me though lol read more

I love sitting on the patio at CJ's and enjoying the sun, coffee and lunch. Their veggie sandwich is one of my favorites. The veggies are always fresh and the bread nice and soft. On Wednesday they have really amazing Chicken and Dumplings. They make the best Breve I have ever had. In a perfect world I would love to see a sugar free or lower sugar option for their baked oatmeal (which is so good but has too much sugar in it), more vegetarian and vegan lunch options and more of a soup variety (the Tuscan Vegetable and Chicken Queso is ALWAYS on the Friday menu and it isn't great). On Fridays they have something prepared on the wok outside. Sometimes it is fish, brisket or pork tacos and sometimes it is Philly cheese-steak sandwiches. These items are always yummy. read more

Outstanding place for coffee & breakfast (all locations for years) and now lunch (Boulevard location with Lettuce Indulge). It's a nice place to go, as the ambiance at each location is good. They also appear to treat their team members well, as they are always friendly and happy to engage. read more

My wife and I really like this place! Their Espresso drinks both hot and cold are amazing. Love their banana and strawberry smoothies. Their food is so good and best is their service and friendliness! I always go for the "buy local" and stay far away from those folks from Seattle who have little in common with middle America and ship their money out of state. CJ's is family owned. We've been to both locations and I particularly like the Denison location with the covered patio and it is part of downtown Denison. YUM! read more

Perfection on the road. We are just driving through but oh my. The friendly service and fresh food are worth stopping for. read more

CJ's Coffee Cafe - The lunch special in Denton. Half cheese board and half soup or salad. $6.99. Homemade bread. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denison, Texas

So glad they've opened up in Sherman. Good cappuccino and they have a bullet proof option now that I want to try. Baked oatmeal is delicious! Would be nice to have a few more comfortable chairs but otherwise great place to meet a friend and nicely done decor. Thankful to have another option from the corporate chains as SB in particular has become anti traditional values, so much so that I'm not giving them my money anymore. read more

I literally do not know why people (myself included) keep coming back to this place. Their service is the slowest I've ever experienced in my life, the orders are typically wrong, and the staff isn't that friendly. I wouldn't be surprised if their food they claim is home made comes from Sam's Club Bakery. They really need to get it together... read more

Love this place. Customer service is excellent! Food was great. Cappuccino and London Fog spot on. A real local Main St hang out. Busy but so well organized at handling drive through and walk in it didnt feel busy. Quick service and follow up to ensure we were pleased and everything was provided as ordered. If you're driving through take the exit for a real treat. CJ'S is worth the stop. read more

A wonderful place to grab a bite during lunch hours. I was surprised at how well the chicken breast was prepared and the bread was unbelievably amazing. What I would give for the recipe. The service was quick and we were in and out. The place is quaint with a nice front patio section as well. read more

CJ's Coffee Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denison, Texas

This is the best place for coffee in Denison. Their specialty coffees are such a fun treat, and don't forget to stop by for lunch. Their food is always so good! read more

My daughter and I went in there and placed an order. She received her coffee and I receive my oatmeal but after four times requesting it the manager came to my table and just gave me a refund for my TV rather than simply giving me my tea that I ordered and paid for. read more

Moved to PLANO, so haven't been in here for 5 years. Still as great as ever. Sandwich fresh and great taste. Enjoyed the atmosphere!! Good to eat there again!! read more

Presently, I have only TWO absolute favorite coffee shops here in north central Texas. One of them is in downtown Wylie and the other one is in downtown Denison. I refuse to step foot in those chain store hack coffee shops that begin with the letter "S". Rather, I search out those wonderful "mom and pop" coffee shops that are much more inviting with much, much better products...and besides, I believe in supporting the locally owned independent stores as much as possible. CJ's, which used to be "Country Java" is in downtown Denison a few doors down from the historical Rialto Theater. When the weather is good, you can sit outside underneath the covered patio and watch life go by on Main Street, or go inside and sit in the fun and comfortable atmosphere. They have a drive-up "to go" window. If you have to use the restroom, it's outside just past the drive-up window. The restroom is kept very clean. They have an excellent choice of coffees, teas, smoothies, and my favorite: Hot chocolate. You can order from their impressive menu of food that's listed on the chalk board on the wall behind the counter. Their salads, soups and sandwiches are fresh made and very tasty. Their desserts are very good, too. The staff is very friendly and sincerely glad to see you. I absolutely love this place and go there every chance I get. Just wished they'd stay open later in the evenings. read more

Visiting from out-of-town and needed a wifi connection, so I went to this place instead of driving to Panera as it is closer to where I'm staying. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely come back. The wifi connection was good, plenty of outlets to plug into and my iced coffee was tasty and not overpriced. While it is not a big place, there is ample seating indoor and out. It seems like the kind of coffee shop you would see in Austin or another major city but situated on Main Street in Downtown Denison. I didn't try the food but I hear they have really good pie. read more

Cute hole in the wall coffee house. Stopped while out of town on work so I just went through the drive through only. Lovely choices on menu. They were incorporating lavender themed items from the local lavender farm which I appreciated. I got coffee, croissant breakfast sandwich with salsa. Food hit the spot. And yes.... I caved for a fresh homemade cinnamon roll. It was freaking delicious! Pure perfection. If you need to truly understand what a warm cinnamon roll is supposed to taste like from Texas, this is your place. I would stop there again anytime I am passing through. read more

Very nice little coffee shop in downtown Denison. They offer good selection of coffee and a good lunch menu. I like places like this and I like to support local businesses. read more

Absolutely love this place. There food is great, the patio is awesome and chia tea is delicious!

First timer. Really liked it. Small home grown coffee shop. Had the baked oatmeal with apple and it was good. Little covered patio off the front. Have sandwiches as well as a lunch menu. Also drive thru. When in the area I'll be here again. read more

great mocha frappe!! Their desserts/ snax are to die for! everything's so fresh! O, you want a sandwich? No problem! Those are great to, and when you are done, you can walk around to the awesome antique stores nearby! read more

We're out of town for leisure and needed a good coffee before starting our day. We checked out this place and it was wonderful. I tried the Lavender Latte which was wonderful, it was like a mild coffee with some floral notes to it, and my fiance got a vanilla cold brew which he loved as well. It's a small, very welcoming shop. I'd recommend it to anyone. read more

Love this place! The employees are always friendly and very helpful. The food is homemade and fresh. I've never tried a dish that wasn't wonderful. If you're not sure about what to order, just ask them. They offer great suggestions about their drinks & food. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Lunch on the patio is always nice. read more
