Java Beach Coffee House - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Our hotel was nearby, I stopped here daily for chai tea latte or a nice cup of fresh juice. The place has sandwiches, bagels, small thing of ice cream, dessert like cheesecake and other things, muffins and so on... The staff were friendly. The place was clean. It's conveniently located within the Grand hotel. It's located in an awesome spot since there's not much around that area. Also, it's nice that they're open early for those of us that are early risers and like our coffee/tea and take a walk on the beach before everyone awakens. read more

Very poor service! Rude lady works there! Overpriced drinks that are extremely watered down.

Good organic smoothies. Mango is the best of them all. Staff is also really nice. Would go again

Extremely slow service. A sad amount of cream cheese provided for a bagel. And I am someone who puts a little bit of cream cheese on my bagels, not a half gallon like normal bagel stores. But it wasn't even enough for me. Convenient location in the Grand Hotel. read more

This place was a convenience place for breakfast however, you would have to be very very patient because there was only one person to take the order, cook the breakfast sandwiches and make espresso. So even a short line could take forever. In addition, the breakfast sandwiches were not good because the scrambled eggs and bacon were premade and reheated. read more

Located in the Grand Hotel is a small café that has many items and open really late. Great smoothies, coffee, pastries, ice cream and sandwiches. Pleasant staff and you can eat inside the Hotel where there are chairs and tables or inside the café. read more

The food is okay (but pricey) when you're looking for grab and go ONLY. Ordering from the menu is extremely problematic. Yesterday they were out of everything we tried to order. Today they took 25 minutes to make two paninis. In the meantime, a couple waited over 20 minutes for a drink and then requested a refund, they were met with push back but ultimately got their money back from the manager. The service is bad. The girl double charged me and the manager had to correct it, twice. The boy making our paninis changed the garbage and cleaned the microwave out right before he went to grab our food off the grill. I had to stop him and ask him to change his gloves. He rolled his eyes more times than I could count. A third girl was pushing food around the flood with a dirty mop, including right under the chairs of other guests without asking them to move. Unless you're desperate, find somewhere else. read more

Smidges of this and that for rip-off prices. The food was edible, but that isn't saying much. For ordinary, unexceptional picnic fare, absurd prices. Be prepared to drop $50 for a little bit of nothing. The service isn't speedy, but they shuffled as fast as they were capable. The ambiance is that of a refrigerator interior. Why can't we go on vacations and pay fair and reasonable prices? They tell us that inflation is under control and the economy is bouncing back. They lie. read more

Food is premade/shipped in, service was rude, dark and dingy. All I wanted was a coffee, they were out of a few things listed on their board. Avoid! read more

Only one worker in the morning, who is painfully slow; average coffee and the pastries looked terrible. Find another spot if you're able to. I'm only giving two stars for the convenience of being open 24 hours. read more

The workers were very disrespectful. The prices were insanely high. I was charged $9.33 for a large coffee. CRIMINAL! Strange man approached my friend and invited her to a beach party. Overall horrible experience! read more

I ordered a "Dirty Banana" almond milk latte and a egg & cheese panini with as many vegetables as they could put in it. Latte: I work at Starbucks so I'm used to a much stronger espresso taste in my coffee. However the unique banana chocolate flavor in my coffee was actually a big win! The espresso is thinner than one might be used to as a Starbucks drinker, but for a morning strolling down the boardwalk- it was fine. The panini: The panini was sub par but I appreciate the extra effort that was made to customize my order since they didn't have any vegetarian paninis (except tomato mozzarella). The bread was more toasty, textured and flavorful than anything in the actual sandwich was but still filled me up nonetheless! The customer service: The foreign student who took my order was so sweet, her name was Anastasia. We even chit-chatted about Starbucks since she was interested in applying there and she was so nice about customizing my order. The others actually making the orders didn't seem like they cared for my business. Overall I'd love to give it another try when I come back to Ocean City. Props on the unique flavors & the cute tiki shack in the front is very cute. read more

Floor dirty, some flies fly in here. Drink tastes bad (too bitter) and sour. Hope yall could make it better!!

A good business focuses on the 3 "P"s. This business is only good at half of one of them. Product: Great made from scratch drinks with fresh ingredients. Average premade sandwiches, ok paninis, and fair baked goods. Free wifi and open 24x7 beach front on the boardwalk. Process: One employee rang up a 15 deep person line but never began making any drinks. A second employee made paninis but never msde drinks. A third employee cut cantelope but never made drinks. 15 minutes after we ordered our 3 drinks, the woman at the register began making all of the line's drinks. Almost a half hour after ordering, we got our drinks. This process is broken. People: The staff listened but didn't smile or say hello. They never stopped working but didnt act like a team to complete orders. As a result the store was packed with people waiting for drinks or to order When staying at the Grand Hotel I may get a drink here but service is way too disorganized and slow if you want a quick drink passing by on the boardwalk.. read more

Really good smoothies and food, but the wait can sometimes be a while. If you're looking for a relaxed bite on the boardwalk, this is the place to be. It's also connected to bathrooms and an assortment of other shops. Love!! read more

EXTREMELY slow service. Took 30 minutes just to get my coffee. Ordered two different iced lattes, which didn't even contain ANY espresso and NO milk. There was 1 1/2 in. Of syrup sitting in the bottom of the cup. It was insanely sweet that I couldn't take more than 2 sips before throwing it out. Just keep walking down the boardwalk and you'll spot a Starbucks.... read more

I so badly wanted to love this place. It's conveniently located in the lobby of the Grand Spa & Hotel where we were staying. We came around 10:30 on a saturday to get some coffee and breakfast. The line was short but the preparation took much longer than expected. I had ordered a specialty drink, however when the barista announced it 5 minutes later, she called it a different name. About 8 minutes later I ask her if it's my drink and both baristas kind of shrugs and says yes (it ended up being the wrong drink- a plain black coffee with some flavor syrup, and they never made the drink I ordered- and paid for) The food took much longer. I think at this point we were so hungry that the food tasted amazing. The next day we gave them another shot. The wait was the same, except I ordered the same exact drink and got a completely different beverage than the one I received the day before. I tried to order a light breakfast but the cashier could not understand me for her life. After many times of repeating myself, I went ahead and ordered something easier to understand. Although, I feel like you should really know your menu, and key words like yogurt. The second time around, the drink was good, but the food just wasn't as tasty- without the hunger, we could compare the food to jimmy deans frozen breakfast. I would not come back here, I'd prefer to drive up to the McDonald's on the main road for my coffee and breakfast. read more

This place reminds me of coffee shops in the early 90's when espresso was still a novelty in America and baristas didn't know what they were doing. Except this place charged me $6.15 for a small cappuccino, probably would have been 2 bucks in the 90's! read more

Even though this is the only coffee house in that specific region of the beach, do yourself a huge favor and walk a little down to the boardwalk for actual coffee and food. This place was a disaster! The sign outside said they had wraps, we walked in and didn't see any wraps on the sign so we asked one of the girls who worked there if they had wraps... she didn't speak English so she called another girl out. Who said "no chicken".. whatever that means. The language barrier was a huge huge issue... So we ended up getting: 1) pressed juices which tasted like soap 2) a buffalo chicken panini (yes they had chicken) which was freezing cold and had no buffalo sauce on it... maybe your sandwiches are premade but at least put the dang sauce on! My cousin ended up having to ask for buffalo sauce and put it on herself 3) an espresso that had steam coming out but was like warm?? Magic! 4) a smoothie which thank goodness was not messed up because it was made out of carton juices Needless to say, we will never be back read more

Java Beach Coffee House has great coffee. We especially enjoy the iced flavored coffees. They also have breakfast sandwiches, smoothies, pastries and more! If you want a local coffee shop this is a good place to enjoy! read more

Incredibly slow, expensive, and flies everywhere. We stopped in to get a quick coffee and it took over a half hour to get our simple order. They had only 1 person making drinks on a Sunday morning. As we were waiting we looked up at the ceiling and saw that this place is crawling with flies. Skip this place. read more

A must stop for me every morning I am at the beach! Located inside the "Grand" hotel (don't need to go inside the hotel if you are on the broad walk) Highly recommend the "almond joy" frozen coffee. I add coconut into mine and it's delicious! They have all different types of flavors so you're bound to find something you like. They will make your coffee anyway you want (iced, hot, extra shot, whatever). In recent years they have expanded their food menu and can make different types of breakfast sandwiches. They also sell muffins and Krispy Kreme donuts. Java Bar isn't cheap (my drink cost around $6). They also aren't the fastest at getting your order which is why I rated four stars, but for the few days you're on vacation, you shouldn't be in a rush anyway! read more

If you want a real breakfast sandwich don't go here! Your better off going to Mcdonalds. It was a processed egg patty and kraft cheese. To top it off it was cold as if they just slapped it all on from the fridge. It was also expensive 6.99 for a cold ham, egg, and cheese. Will never go here again and will never recommend to anyone. read more

Everything written in other reviews is probably true but not my experience. However, I am not looking for good coffee or service here. I am looking for a place to park with my laptop to use the free wifi on the boardwalk. The fact it is open LATE (doesnt close) makes this a dream location. If you are looking for a chill place to read or write at night while at the beach, this is it. Service and food / drink quality may be questionable. read more

Open 24 Hours?......HELL YEAH! The organic chai tea latte was the bomb And my daughter had a iced sticky bun which was great.they had a few cases of assorted pastries and other delectables.... different kinds of coffee.cappuccino,lattes,teas.....and being open on the boardwalk & 21st 24 hours a day is a huge convenient a must for coffee and tea lovers read more

I've been here several times with my in-laws when we visit Ocean City. The location is in the middle of everything, but the food/drinks are just so-so...you pay for the convenience factor of a quick bite. The staff, however, leaves much to be desired. There is a particularly snarky brunette behind the counter who was very rude to my wife and I when we simply asked to change our order from a latte to espresso. And then the very next day, we were in line to order again and she pulled in someone else to take our order instead, only to take the order of the people behind us. The service is overall fine in terms of timeliness, but they seem to often be short staffed...better off exploring other options along the boardwalk. read more

The service is so slow here! I got a tomato mozzarella panini and waited forever. They don't move efficiently at all and don't seem to be able to multi-task. My friend liked her smoothie but I'm not particularly impressed with the food. read more

Too pricey for snacks, I didn't bother ordering any coffee. Looked nice in there though.

Open 24 hours and has a nice selection. Cashiers are friendly and helpful and delicious coffee. I did find it very unprofessional for the supervisor to interrupt the cashier waiting on me to go over the shift schedule with him. So rude! She couldn't wait a few minutes to talk to him about something so unrelated to what he was doing with me?!! Then I had to wait for her to finish going over the schedule and then she chirps at him to finish with his customer. Wow, unbelievable! No fault of the cashiers at all! He was very friendly and doing what he should be doing. Supervisor needs to be trained on customer supervisor! read more

This place is the most comfortable in the area. Everything is fresh. Tried different sandwiches and sweets for last 3 days, and everything is surprisingly great ! Thank you ! read more

We came to this location this morning as they advertised being open 24 hours. He charge me $6 for a hot chocolate that I assumed was going to be steamed milk but turned out to be a powder packet and hot water. When I questioned the cashier about why it's not made with steamed milk he said he could make it with steamed milk. This after telling my friend that the espresso machine was broken and he couldn't make her a macchiato. So is it broken or not??? Lesson learned.. none of us will ever return!!! Waste of money, take the walk down to Starbucks! read more

Limited selection of (sub-par) bagels, not super fresh Krispy-Kreme donuts, medeocre service. Maybe an ok place to grab coffee if you are staying right there in the Grand Hotel, but was not worth the drive down from mid-town OC. Don't go out of your way to visit. read more

They make Great coffee, especially lattes!! Yummy!! It's 24 hours open, makes it really convenient if you are staying in Grand spa hotel, a few variety of sweets but they did not get a higher rating due to the dirty fans for years of observing this and mosquitos inside the shop. Food should be more protected of such exposure. I was happy to see a new tiki like awning and it has been remodeled this past year!! read more

Needed something quick and easy so this was one of our only options. The service in this place is SO SLOW! I've never see a line get so long and the employees continue to work slower... I got a very bland panini (turkey/cheese) took them 20 minutes TO MAKE it. Absolutely insane. I ended up throwing out my food (10 dollars wasted) It also didn't help there was tons of flies flying around the place either. Don't bother coming if you need something quick because they'll be sure to take your time up AND more read more

The Russians here will blatantly talk to their friends while customers are waiting in line.. They try to charge you 25 cents for butter. The coffee here was burnt. If you really need coffee in the morning I would hold off. Not a place you want to take your girlfriend. Also no wifi. read more

The prices are about what you would expect in Ocean city. Food is average, however the employees are far from friendly. Don't ask for anything extra for your food or beverage. They act like take it out of their personal stash of whatever your asking for. read more

The flavored coffee selection is amazing ranging from a normal mocha coffee to a sweet "Pink Lady" (cherry and vanilla). You can choose from served hot, iced, or frozen. They also have a nice smoothie selection (very tasty). They do run a bit more expensive than Starbuck's and the foreign summer staff don't seem to be very friendly if you come later in the day. There is no AC, so be prepared if you're looking for an escape from the summer heat. It is nice that it's open 24 hours and (probably one of the only stores) open during the winter months on the boardwalk. read more

I never ever leave comments on restaurants but this place is straight up AWFUL!!! Straight up AWFUL!!! Please do yourself a favor and go to Starbucks on 17th st. Rude cashier who wouldn't make wrongs right, terrible bagels that taste like they are a week old, water thin smoothies even though they advertise thick smoothies and a latte that taste like God knows what and pretty cold for a hot drink. It was just a terrible experience if I could give it 0 stars I would. read more
