I pass through quite often. I tried the drive through three times & each time the service was terrible. The drinks took a while to get to us, at least 15 minutes. Today, the young man that took my order was rude and full of attitude because it was close to closing time. First, He slammed open the window which caused it to bounce back at him then He refused to take my food order. Maybe he should have turned off the open sign if they were ready to leave. I'm done trying with this place. I'll spend my hard earned money somewhere else. read more

I absolutely love this place! Every time I'm back in sterling I always make sure to come visit! I can't remember his name, but the male barista always goes above and beyond and ensures everything is perfect! I have never had any issues with this place and will continue to visit every time I'm back!! The food is to die for and I always look forward to getting a breakfast sandwich! Thank you Hot Java read more

I didn't get any food due to the service of the drive thru. I drove off. Whoever was positioned in drive thru wasnt very professional. Management needs to take ownership on the employees they have hired and review what excellent customer service is. Hot Java Express do better. Ill be sharing with friends and family about my experience and the location of this Cafe so people are aware. read more

Stopped here for lunch during our cross-country road trip. The drive-thru line was long, but walking in to order was fast as no one was inside; face mask required of course. Ordered the El Bubba sandwich, which is roast beef on an everything beef with jalapeño cheddar cream cheese, mustard, and some veggies. The service was simply efficient, the bagel came out quickly and was delicious. The cream cheese was unique and tasty. Would come back and recommend. read more

The service was amazing!! There's a girl working there that had lobster earrings and my kiddo loved them. She and the other girls working looked like they really enjoy what they're doing. Thank you and keep up the great work! read more

Great spot to stop at for coffee and breakfast sandwiches! We're driving through and it was worth the slight detour. read more

Fabulous always willing to customize with a smile on their face and sincere customer appreciation

Best coffee in town but it's mainly drive-through. Still awaiting a place where I can sit town with great coffee and ambiance

The two girls working were so helpful & kind everything she recommended was superb the walnut brownie to the praline frapp the chicken salad was so good I got another for the road truly a hidden gem better than Starbucks! read more

This little drive through coffee joint got me hooked up with a hot cup of joe. Actually I ordered two latte's and a cup of black. $11 + tip, not too shabby, the latte's where a little on the milky side but not over extracted, yay. The joe was tasty too. The girls running the place were super friendly and quick. This place is probably the best coffee house in town from what I could gather. read more

Great Latte!! The service was great and very friendly. Ordered the breakfast bagels and sandwiches. They were very yummy. Great place for a good quick breakfast. read more

I love the Boss Sandwich soooo yummy!! I'm not a coffee drinker so can't tell you about that. But sandwiches and sweets are delicious!

If there isn't a line, I love this place! If there is a line & I have time to park I'll just go to the Hot Java Cafe :) (I totally get why they have the order limit!) If there is a line & I don't have time to park then I'm gonna be one sad tealess girl :( You can only get drinks here, no food. The employees are VERY nice :) They open at 6 am, where the Hot Java Cafe doesn't open till 7 am. read more

Been through twice now and they never get the size of my drinks right. Pretty ridiculous

Although the cafe was delicious, it took 18 minutes to get one vanilla latte. That's ridiculous!

I decided that the Drive through warranted an upgrade because I have been trying their bagels etc and they are fresh and good. After years of eating in Sterling one should be grateful for the attention to this. Add to this that the staff are uniformly cheerful and patient, and when I am running late on a miserable morning....Yay! I'm a fan. P.S. See my earlier review for more details! read more

I liked the selection of the food but the inside was super disappointing. I brought study stuff and turns out, there's like one bench no tables or anything... so just know what you're getting into! read more

So happy we picked this place!!! Bagel breakfast sandwiches were the bomb! Delish!! Coffee was excellent! Great service!

I'm from Denver and stayed in sterling for about 2 months while my husband did a job up there and this place is amazing and easily rivals any city coffee shop. They have the best gourmet bagels and amazing cream cheese (which they will make a simple sandwich out of if you please). They carry probably 30 different kinds of syrup and will make any coffee or Italian soda you please. And they are open until 7pm which I think is great considering the town isn't very big. read more

I was looking for a good cup of black tea. Unfortunately they only had Earl Grey which I am not fond of. I got a green tea instead. After several minutes I tried to open the lid to remove the teabag so it wouldn't turn bitter. The cup was so full I spilled it on my leg and boy was it hot!!! First degree burn in a second. The teabag was taped to the cup so very difficult to remove. Totally disappointed and still stinging from the burn. read more

Best coffee place in Sterling hands down. The customer service is phenomenal, I could not show up for 1 month and they still know what I drink and how many shots. Love those girls. read more

The sandwiches are really good! I love that they have the veggie options! Would be better if offered vegan but beggars can't be choosers !! I ordered a blended chia with almond milk but it was very strangely watered down and not that good. I ended up waistline it. I'm guessing they don't do powdered or need better training on blending non milk items or just not get the chia again. The sandwich was good. read more

I got lunch here twice when I was in Sterling...soooo yummy! I had "The Bomb" (chicken salad on a jalapeno bagel and with jalapeno cream cheese) and the "Skipper" (tuna salad). They have roast beef, ham, turkey...they make their own cream cheese! Have to get it to go because this is a drive through. read more

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!! White rabbit and fuzzy camel are amazing!!! Friendly baristas and fast service, try it and you'll be back!!!

Best coffee ever!!! I haven't had their food, but oh my gosh their coffee is out of this world, and they are fast and friendly.

This place is awesome!! The staff is always friendly. Love the sandwich: little bit of heaven. The cookies are so yummy!

My latte was way to sweet. The drive thru felt dangerous to get into. I felt like my whole coffee was loaded with syrup.
