Stayed in a VRBO close by and there was a menu on the fridge for this place. We finally went our final day, wish we had gone earlier! Super friendly service, great food too! The omelette was stuffed with ham and cheese. My husband loved his French toast too. The staff was so nice and helpful. Loved the decor and prayer box too!

Overloaded Grits
Callie T.

Was meeting a friend for a quick lunch at a local place. It's been quite some time since I've been here, probably a few years. Masks are not required since you'll be eating. Everything is sanitized including the silverware that are packaged individually. Since I haven't had the opportunity to travel this past year for my go-to breakfast sandwich, I was excited to have the egg, ham, and cheese and selected the croissant (though there's options for other bread, including gluten free). Yeah, I probably can attribute my Covid weight to eating several croissants per week (gotta make it easy for new years resolutions). My friend who apparently comes here a lot had been texting me about being hungry and looking forward to the grits, ordered this overloaded grits. Gotta admit, it looked like a hearty meal. You simply need to order at the counter and take a seat, several tables including two outdoors. Someone brings your order. He was really nice and came back with several napkins either recognizing that I must be a messy eater or will need it . It was a pretty constant flow of people. They've been known for their coffee, and such (one of last time here was picking up an order for my visiting MIL) though options for breakfast all day of operating hours and lunch. It's been so long since I've eaten out locally, so it was great to see and catch up with neighbors who were working there and those eating there too. It's understandable why a nice flow of people as the prices are very reasonable, and you get some delish dish!

This Bistro has been here for 13 years! We live 2 miles away and didn't know they were here, but what a well kept secret. Their food is very good and the service is outstanding. They serve breakfast and lunch every day and are closed on Sundays. We liked the flexibility of their menu, and the food was cooked exactly as ordered. They even will toast your muffin if you would like - Pretty cool!! I also liked the Christian music played in the background as we ate. If you are looking for a quiet place to have a tasty breakfast or lunch and like friendly people who care about their customers, I'd highly recommend the Java Bistro at 5 Forks!

Cool little breakfast place in Five Forks. Fantastic breakfast menu with friendly service minded staff. Everybody smiles here. Bagels were close to New York. Sausage patties more like what grandma made, than the flavorless slabs you get in places like IHOP. Can't go wrong with the Lattes. Looking forward to returning for lunch.

BLT sandwich with fries was AMAZING

We loved our visit to Java Bistro! The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is super friendly. Not to mention they have the best BLT, French fries, and vanilla latte I've ever had! This is definitely a must visit when in Greenville!

Come on back to the back to place your order.

I was back in SC for a family illness/death visit, and had lots of errands to run in order to help the family prepare for the funeral. I made a quick visit to Java Bistro to pick up an espresso drink. I always have a somewhat negative reaction when I see that I have to walk to the back of an establishment to be served. It just feels funky. Once at the back, I ordered a cappuccino, asking if they had coconut milk? No. Almond milk? No. Just soy milk. So, okay, I went with soy milk, because I am lactose intolerant. The cappuccino was fine. I probably should have been specific and requested a bold espresso, but, to me, espresso by definition means you want something strong. Yes? I would definitely return to order again, as I enjoy supporting small businesses.

Great coffee and muffins for breakfast. Love that they include verses on the coffee cups. Drive thru can sometimes be slow.

Though my husband frequents here often, this may have been my first time visiting to post about it. Wonderful, relaxing atmosphere. There are sofas, chairs, even tables with chairs. Some of the couches are quite low and, well used but are what I would expect at a coffee shop. The kind where you can curl up with a book though perhaps others may not like you hogging the couch I was meeting with a few other women and enjoyed a delicious chai latte with almond milk but instead posted the picture of what my friend ordered because of the adorable gingerbread man image on top of her latte. Mine was delicious and though I personally drink plain tea (sometimes with lemon) at home and not a coffee drinker, the latte was perfect on this foggy wet winter day. To be honest, it would have been perfect on any day. I was asked if I preferred a mug or the disposable cup, an option if it was small (I think though maybe large?) or medium size order. I had ordered a medium and there's something about having a handle, right? Plus less landfill item. Because I'm trying to reduce the amount of sugar intake from the holiday season (and had breakfast 90 minutes prior), I did not choose any of the baked goods, though tempting. I should have captured a photo to recall but there were muffins, cookies, etc CRAVE has WiFi available for its patrons and quite inviting to remain, not rushing anyone out. I saw people alone enjoying a drink and reading, others alone on their laptop, many with others enjoying each other's company and conversation. If you crave a place that will allow you to relax and/or have a pick-me-up drink, CRAVE certainly is a place to go. Because this is the anchor shop of a strip, there is ample parking along the parking lot on the side. And if you want full blown meals, there are options along the strip, one of which I have frequented often. I enjoyed my experience and thus give CRAVE a 5 star.

Cute coffee shop with plenty of parking. There are many two-person tables and a few booths, but due…read moreto popularity it may take a minute to find seating. I couldn't decide between two coffee drinks, so I tried both the Breve and the Cafe con leche. If you are looking for something creamy and delicious for the coffee taste do the breve. If you are looking for the same thing, but with some sweetness do the Cafe con leche. You can't go wrong with either choice. For food I ordered "Daryl's Chorizo Bowl" I don't know who Daryl is, but I am loving that chorizo. It has a base of eggs, covered with chorizo and a hint of cheese, onions and tomatoes. The drizzle of zesty green dressing and microgreens brings a freshness to a usually hearty dish. Staff was friendly, but it is laissez-faire vibe. You take your dirty dish (clean by the time you are done licking up all the deliciousness) to a rack at the back of the shop. To go boxes are placed by the utensil cart. Easy in and out. Did I mention they sell candles and other goodies (and I am not talking about the mouth-watering pastries or crepes) Overall a great place to visit in such a cute town.

Then I watch new people come in place their order and have it ready for pick up within a few minutes. Meanwhile, I'm still curiously waiting for my biscuit sandwich to be ready for pick up. So I continue to wait....and wait....and wait. Finally, I approach one of the staff behind the register, show him my receipt and inquire about when my biscuit will be ready. He looked perplexed. Suddenly a female staff member walks up and asks if there's a problem. I say, "Well, I'm still waiting for my biscuit order and I'm just wondering if it will be ready soon. She immediately goes to grab a biscuit to give to to me. Again, I showed her my receipt and said, "Don't you even want to see what I ordered before you start handing me a biscuit?" Both staff members look at my receipt then each other perplexed. Then the female said, "Apparently it didn't fire back here for us so we never saw the order in the kitchen." Since I don't speak kitchen slang, I asked her to please clarify what that meant. She appeared confused. I responded with, "In plain English like I'm five and don't work here, will you please tell me what happened to my order and when I might expect to receive the biscuit sandwich I ordered." The gal said they didn't receive the order in the kitchen but they would have my biscuit sandwich up right away. Within a couple minutes, another guy from the kitchen comes to my table carrying a plate with the biscuit sandwich I ordered on it. He rudely flung the plate down on the table as if he was trying to send it flying to the other end of the table. RUDE and completely unnecessary! So, because the Maple Street register/order system failed and after patiently waiting an unusual amount a time, I curiously inquired into it's whereabouts I get such rude treatment? $11 for a mediocre biscuit sandwich delivered with a level rude and indifferent customer service attitude is simply not worth it!! Congratulations Maple Street. You've forever lost me as a customer!! Going to give Biscuit Head and Maverick a try.....
