Hava Java - Oat milk latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We are from out of state and have been in the Phoenix area for just under a week now. We found this coffee shop first morning we were here and have been back almost every single day since we got here. The espresso is truly phenomenal and the service is as well. We have been getting iced caramel macchiatos and honestly nowhere I've ever been even comes close to comparing. Thank you for being such a great spot and so welcoming!!!! I'm really going to miss this place when we go back home. SUPPORT LOCAL PHOENIX!!!! read more

Just a friendly local coffee shop. Good coffee and staff. Great vibe. I just feel at home there.

Great vibe and great atmosphere. When you order the large nitro cold brew they are not messing around. I think they brought me a 32 ozer! LOL! Great morning on the patio with some new potential clients. I had never been here before. Found this spot by chance online. read more

I stopped in here for some coffee while waiting for an appointment next door. This is a pretty standard looking coffee shop with a good tea and coffee selection and also kombucha and nitro cold brew on tap. I ordered a standard small cappuccino ($3.75), which was a solid cappuccino. The prices here are pretty standard for a coffee shop in the area. I don't know that I would particularly go out of my way to come here for coffee, but it was a nice place to try nonetheless. read more

Coffee is okay, it could be better and it has been better. Actually great but it all depends on what mood the baristas are in. Stay away from the skinny girl with short hair. She'll get upset with you, if you ask her to remake a drink. And she'll throw change at you if you ask her to add an extra shot because you're not happy with your drink. I usually order a Carmel latte, this time I got nothing but milk and asked her to add a shot if she wasn't able to remake it, she rudely said only if you're paying for it? Of course I am. I paid for it and she threw the change at me. It's a great place to hangout and the coffee is usually great. But because of this experience I am never coming back. I love staying local, and supporting small businesses but I am never coming back!!! This experience was it for me. read more

Good coffee, really small but lots of beautiful natural lighting. Baristas were efficient and gave good service. I got a fresh bagel too. Will try again read more

I love a place that has a neighborhood vibe partnered with a friendly, happy staff. To boot, the coffee is much cheaper than some national chains and I would say it is better! The inside is quaint, clean and cozy. Logistically, it may not be set to the best and most efficient, but somehow it makes it feel more homey. They also have a nice patio area out front. Parking is not an issue (used to be on occasion when all the surrounding businesses were open). Support local business! I recommend giving them a try if you have not, as you won't be disappointed. This is what other coffee places want to be when they grow up. :) Enjoy y'all! read more

Come here often and the service is always friendly, timely and consistent. Great place for a meeting or leisurely hang. Skip the line at Starbucks and support local for your morning coffee pickup on the go. read more

Hava Java will be my new forever study spot! I love that it is a no-nonsense spot with excellent coffee and a low-key vibe. The cafe au lait was delicious, and after studying for a while I was thankful that food (bagels, yogurt/ granola, etc) was also available! Don't expect any coffee shop pretense here. The baristas were very friendly and solicitous. Refills on the same visit are half price, or $.25 if you get a coffee, so it feels like they don't mind if you stick around for a while. There aren't a ton of tables, but there are plenty of outlets available and a nice patio in the front. Also, this place is spotless. When I arrived, the chairs were all cleaned off and pushed in, the tables were clean, and the floor was swept. The staff/ ownership obviously cares about making sure customers are comfortable. I will be back! read more

Hava Java - Great spot to study- coffee is great and there are plenty of outlets available! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

What a cute little coffee shop located in the middle of a shopping plaza. I had some time before my manicure appointment, so I trotted over here to get a cup of hot coffee. The coffee shop is really cute and the people working there were really nice and friendly. I had a mocha which was delicious and I decided to have one of the bagels. Both of these items were just as good as expected. By the way, this is one of the top in the area according to the advertisement in the restaurant. I would definitely go back here again, and they gave me a punch reward card. On the 10th order, you get a free cup of coffee. Free is always nice :-) Plenty of parking in the strip plaza and they have a nice outdoor patio, that they share with this gelato store next-door. read more

The red chile breakfast burrito was AMAZING. Seriously a must try! I would post a picture, but i devoured it too fast

Hava Java definitely has to be one of my favorite coffee spots, ranking top on my list! I won't even lie to you, I use to be a TOTAL Starbucks hoe, but after I started coming here I have changed my ways because the quality here is really unbeatable. Some of my favorite options are their Iced Lavender Latte and Iced White Peppermint Mocha- I like to get both of these made with whole milk to have a thicker and creamier consistency. A lot of my coworkers enjoy their Frozen Hava- a frozen mocha beverage, which is basically liquid crack and will have you bouncing off of the walls. Some things I really love about Hava Java: A Plethora of Flavors: Next to the register, the barista keeps a list of all of the flavors they offer for tea, coffee, and Italian sodas. The one and only flavor they are missing (I think) is pistachio, but not a lot of people favor that in their coffee anyway. Outdoor Morning Brew: This is something that I personally thought was really cool and unique- every morning, one of the baristas brings out a mini espresso bar on wheels so they can serve guests outside, where there is also plenty of seating available. Outstanding Service: I have not encountered one barista that has been anything short of friendly and outstanding. When you walk into this business, the staff makes you feel like you are at home. They even take the time to personally get to know you; on my second visit here, the barista instantly recognized me and took the time to ask how work was going and what I had going on for the weekend. Refrigerated Drinks: Turns out that the friend that you brought along does not want tea OR coffee? Hava Java has a small refrigerator where they keep soft drinks (Coke/Sprite), energy drinks (sugar free and regular Red Bull), juices (orange, apple, sometimes others), water and coconut water. They also have a Bakery Display full of snacks- granola, yogurt parfaits, energy bars, bagels/bear claws/muffins and more. ALSO have gum and mints for sale at the register. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed! :) *Incredible service, very quick *Free WiFi *Great place to work, quiet (for the most part) *Indoor & outdoor seating ^Dog friendly outdoor seating, including water bowls for your pups read more

Best breakfast burrito in town with the best coffee!! Great customer service. So happy that we found this place right in our hood! Awesome place! read more

I absolutely love this place. They are local coffee house and you can tell by the vibes the moment you walk in. Their coffee is always tasty however my favorite thing from there is there is the vegan burritos. These burritos are so tasty and they come with the most delicious green salsa. I'll find myself buying these burritos in the morning for breakfast or right before they close for dinner! The staff is always friendly and I get a really small town feel which I always crave ever since moving to the city. They are always busy but are always able to help you. I highly recommend them are good coffee and good vibes! read more

I hadn't had my coffee yet, so I was hardly together in my ordering but the barista was super gentle and patient with me, lol... sampled a few from their daily's and then when with a mocha latte - awesome. Very chill quiet vibes in there. read more

they made the kind of cappuccino that makes you so happy to be alive and even in arizona it feels like seattle but it's so good that that doesn't matter bc arizona has so many things to appreciate too and this cappuccino made me realize that read more

Nice little cafe and good spot to study or hang out. Must say tho there aren't a lot of tables so come early! Free wifi. Friendly baristas, good coffee and selection of pastries and bagels. Plus outlets available to charge your laptop. read more

Hava Java - Iced latte latte and ready to study - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The coffee here is amazing and the service is fantastic. The barista was more than willing to help me figure out the coffee I wanted with it being the first time being there. If you are craving a fall themed drink, you have to try a Latte with maple and pumpkin syrup with oat milk. It was amazing! read more

I coffee tour everywhere I go. No matter the city, state, or country, I will find you. VALET? In a grocery store open parking lot. EPIC FAIL. The service at the bar, phenomenal. The owner, TOTAL D BAG. Lattes soooooooooooo hot, the espresso asked for an ice water. Every table and seat is packed here. Old dudes with pony tails. Super expensive mid life crisis cars. Ladies with binders planning events. Insane. But the drinks are almost perfect. MAKE YOUR OWN CHAI...it is so freaking easy. This is what makes local coffee shops awesome. The pride is the do it yourself. Do not order chai, what the crackers are you starbucks? The owner...this guy is ridiculous. So arrogant and cocky and my poor girlfriend went in here every day for years. I said to him in passing, "Hey this is a cute spot. We were told to pay a visit by a friend." "Oh yeah who is your friend." I say her name. His response, "oh she must be a stripper." Seriously dude? Um no she teaches art to special needs children. We need more people like her in the world. Go F yourself. read more

This coffee shop is not necessarily a letdown; it's just not anything particularly outstanding considering the (many) other options available in the Valley. If you're into gelato, you'll be pleased to learn that it's connected to The Gelato Spot, which is pretty good gelato. I like that you can grab a coffee here, then enjoy a gelato immediately next door. But the coffee itself is nothing to get excited about. And neither is the chai tea latte, unfortunately. I'm sure that I'd visit Hava Java more often if I lived closer, but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to grab a coffee here again. Service was fast, which was nice; but again - nothing to write home about. There's a decent amount of seating, both inside and out, which I appreciate, as well as decent Wi-Fi, making Hava Java a good choice for those remote work days. Prices are about what you'd expect - neither expensive nor cheap. Pastries looked delicious except that they had flies crawling all over them, which turned me off immediately even if it couldn't be helped. :-/ All in all, just a very blah experience, unfortunately. I'd like to see a little more pride taken on the part of the staffing in providing quality drinks. I'd have loved the option to order a pour-over. I don't know whether I'll bother visiting again. Maybe if I'm passing through and craving a mediocre coffee... :( *NOTE: if you Check In here on Yelp, you get a 10% code. Not bad. Appreciate that. read more

Wow! Just wow! I ordered the "flavor" coffee which was macadamia..... I wasn't expecting a WOW factor, but I certainly got it! By far one of the best regular cups of coffee I've had. For those who still enjoy a very well brewed regular ol' cup of coffee minus the fancy stuff... lattes, blended stuff etc. I'll be back often. Side note... the lady behind the counter was so Sweet to explain the menu to us as it was our first time in. A+! read more

Hava Java - Fabulous!!!!!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Well, a disclaimer here..I am a biased reviewer. I worked at Hava from 5/99-12/02. It is everything I want in a coffee house. Quality coffee drinks made so you can taste the coffee. It is not over roasted like the chains. The munchies are passable. This has always been of secondary importance here. I mean...if you are a coffee drinker do you really care that the muffins are the cream of the crop? Probably not. Do not get me wrong there is nothing bad about the munchies it is just that it is always just better than average. That's A-O-K in my book though. The staff is usually top notch. Given the demands of a small staff, a high energy coffee house, demanding (in a good way) clientle, and the need for mad social skills there is a dichotomy of employees there. On one hand there are employees that are like myself..there for many years and on the other many who only last a week or two. Once an employee fits in they can be counted on to give you great personalized service and high quality coffee drinks. Honestly, if you are a seasoned coffee drinker you will prefer to hit this place on the Camelback Corridor rather than the chain places. Sure, you may have to wait a little bit longer, but that will give you more time to witness the denizens of Hava. There is a tight knit, and large, regular crowd who take time out of their days to spend time at hava. You'll see why they do and you'll start to make extra time for the daily visits in your routine. If you read this say hey to Jake on the coffee cart out front and tell them Chris from San Fran sent ya. Cheers! read more

A cozy place for having good coffee while relaxing or even doing some online browsing, as evidenced by patrons taking advantage of the WiFi. Friendly baristas, outdoor seating, opening into The Gelato Spot, and being next to some cool restaurants and shops (including Fresh Vitamins, my new favorite vitamin place) make this coffee house a winner. read more

Not sure if it's pronounced Haaava Jaaaava with a long A or Have a Jav a with short American As. Regardless, it's a cool spot with great coffee, plenty of seating and from what I saw on a Monday afternoon, a large fan base of locals. I ordered a vanilla latte, which is a perfect litmus test for a new coffee joint. It was good. Very good, in fact. Not blow my mind great, but very solid. Plus a bunch of stars for good coffee, a friendly staff and lots of outdoor seating. The only thing it would be nice are more tables with outlets. This place would be in contention as a study spot if it had enough tables with outlets. As it is it's a great place to hang, have a conversation and relax. read more

I'm a little sad that Tiffany left. She was so friendly and full of energy, she'd been there for years and really had a great rapport with tons of customers. The place isn't the same without her energy in the morning. read more

Decent coffeehouse, although the layout is a little awkward if you're sitting indoors - a few tables up front but then a really skinny hallway with a couple more tables and one two seater in the back. Good coffee and free wi-Fi. Haven't indulged in any of the pastries yet. And true, being connected to the Gelato Spot is an added bonus. Being right by Zen 32, not so much. read more

My super favorite place for iced teas in the valley. I say this because the teas are loose-leaf and brewed when ordered. There is no packets of tea lying around. Also I get a large32oz pomegranate-green iced tea for only $2.50 compared to that one well know "coffee" place where I can't even get a Venti for that price. read more

To give you a sense of how good it is-my best friend and I have been going here for nine years now. We've introduced it to people who have moved states and called to say, "I can't find a white chocolate latte as good as that one anywhere!" The staff is absolutely amazing. Every morning I am greeted by the sweetest two people. Meghan is the barista I believe. She's a sweetheart. For the life of me I can't remember the guy's name but he makes a delicious latte and has memorized my drink. Season is the girl with the long dark hair. She's the sweetest person I've ever met and never fails to make me walk out with a huge smile on my face and a delicious drink in hand. She is very personable and always makes her drinks with love. The whole crew is amazing and I can't stress this enough--you will love it! Especially if you appreciate delicious beans. read more

I've always loved Hava Java- if I lived closer, I would prob be there daily and develop an addiction. When I heard they had recently undated their interior I thought I would drive over and check it out. Upon entering, it was caffeinetastic to see the place packed. Each table was filled with someone typing away on their electronic device or chatting away. I loved the sense of coziness- like you could sit there all day if you should choose. Being summer, I decided to order an iced coffee and it was delish! Just the right amount of flavor and just what I needed! I also loved the new bar area. Modernized yet still matching the existing decor. I also like how clean everything felt. That's important for me anywhere I go. I think Hava Java has been around a long time. I can see why- and I see them being around for many years to come. Can't go wrong coming here for a cup of Jo. And if you check in on Yelp, it's 10% off your bill! read more

Yet another "perk" of living in this area is this awesome coffee house. It's always a challenge finding nice beans but not here.. You can tell by the wonderfully rich aroma that wafts outward as soon as you open the door. Ive had them grind for me as well as parked my bike on the patio and enjoyed a frozen concoction. Can it get better? Yes because the place is also a local establishment! Coffee enthusiast? Don't miss! read more

Super friendly service & the drinks were great. We got a London Fog and a Mocha. We will definitely be returning

What a cute coffee shop this place is! Parking is limited, but worth the wait. Girls behind the counter are super sweet, have great recommendations and can carry a conversation. I ordered a Honey Latte, the coffee was delicious. Espresso wasn't bitter, had a smooth complex. My drink was perfectly sweetened. I also got a Bear Claw, which was fresh, moist, and delicious. It was a perfect compliment to my coffee. This place reminds me of a small town coffee shop, with intimate seating and old bar like decor. Wooden counters, big menu boards and a beautiful pastry case. Will be a regular when I'm in that area. read more

This was my second visit to Hava Java. Today, I got the Nitro Cold Brew and it was so good. The caramel latte I got the other day was just the right amount of caramel. I asked for half the amount because I don't like super sweet things. It was at just the right temperature to drink. I could have used it a little warmer, but I like things hot. This place is great stop if you need a caffeine fix. read more

Got a coffee 20minutes before they closed. It was barely luke warm. I let the guy know and he said - Oh, sorry, it's because we're closing and it's the end of the day. PET PEEVE!! You are either open or you're not. Well, that was last year. This morning, I went in and stood in line behind one couple. As they were leaving, a 'regular' strolls in and they completely disregard me and start waiting on him. The woman/girl let him walk in front of me, she rang him up and then proceeded to chat with him about his plans and her plans for the 4th. She might as well have just screamed - Go away lady, can't you see I'm talking with 'Hava Java Royalty'!? Their conversation wasn't ending anytime soon, so I walked out. I will never go there again. (needless to say) I know this review won't make a dent in their business because it's been there for decades! And I know they really couldn't care less what I think, but in the FWIW department, I had to say something! read more

If you want a chai latte that is 95% steamed milk and with a side of surly barista, this is the place to be. Not sure why I tried again Update following owner comment: If the ratio is truly 50% then the chick at HJ just must hate me since I've never gotten anywhere near that. Were this a place that bothered with latte art, it would've been impossible since my drink on Saturday was seriously solid white. I appreciate the response but it's simply wrong in my multiple experiences. I forgot to add also that the WiFi didn't work (connected multiple times and attempted on phone and laptop) but gave up when nothing with would load in favor of The Gelato Spot's WiFi (that worked!). Suggestion to owner: when someone is established as a legitimate yelp reviewer and they have a legitimate complaint, you should apologize and explain how you AIM to be, not subtly call the reviewer a liar. Pass and definitely never again. Starbucks is consistent and has customer service. read more

If you're an espresso drinking person looking for beans... Keep looking. They only carry dark roast. If you are looking for a good espresso shot... Drive past. Quickly. Unless you think Starbucks regular dark shot is good, in which case you don't have to drive by quickly but still probably wouldn't recommend you stop in. Otherwise, nice place in a nice setting with nice staff. read more
