My husband and I enjoy going to this place when we're in the area. The owner is kind and so is the rest of the staff. I love their lavender latte! They have so many other drink options and offer food too. I've only gone for drinks but they offer some breakfast sandwiches and lunch options as well. Definitely recommend! read more

Java Dave's has been a staple in downtown! Small, cozy coffee shop that serves breakfast, pastries and smoothies! Service is friendly and prompt. My go-to is usually a breakfast wrap (egg, cheese and tomato). Only downside is they don't have avocado! Pricing is also very reasonable read more

I was charged $7.75 for a medium caramel macchiato this morning. They charge $5.50 at Starbuck. Their prices are way to high or I was ripped off. Either way, not cool. The coffee was ok, a little weak. I try to shop small, local businesses when I can, but I'll skip Java Dave's next time. read more

Java Dave’s Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Amboy, New Jersey

A gem of a place to visit when stopping by South Amboy! I love to get their breakfast rolls (The Java Dave being a huge, delicious breakfast sandwich for just $7!) It is a very cozy small business with a super expansive menu. Whenever stopping by, I like their iced chai latte with a shot of espresso and some of their other specialty drinks like their banana oat milk espresso iced coffee. They also have desserts, wraps, and smoothies, which I haven't tried yet. The service is very friendly. read more

Great coffees and milkshakes! The owner is the sweetest, kindest, and generally happy person I've ever met. He always remembers everything about our family when we stop in and always has the most genuine conversations. It is clean and bright and I always start my workday in a great mood after stopping for coffee at Java Dave's. One of my favorite places in South Amboy. read more

Service was very personable. My son was very indecisive and the worker took his time to explain any questions my 12 year old had. Very small relaxing setting. Food was great! read more

Java Dave’s Coffee - Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte Plain Bagel with Cream Cheese Tiramisu Caramel Macchiato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Amboy, New Jersey

After trying a few local coffee shops, I want to say that this one us the best. Me & my boyfriend really liked Prep in old bridge, but after we moved farther away we were looking for a spot closer to us. This place is a small spot that we might have overlooked if we had not found this place on yelp. When we went to check the place out, there was no one there, but us. They have a whole bunch of coffee options, and have come breakfast/lunch sandwiches, and some random food items like quesadillas. I felt like the prices were pretty fair, and would recommend trying this place out. read more

I stopped in here for a breakfast sandwich and coffee. The staff was great, the cafe was clean, and the food/coffee was delicious. Definitely coming back in the future! read more

This place is excellent! I've been coming here since they opened almost daily for my morning coffee. It is always clean, owner operated (Efram is the best!), and great quality all around. They also offer food, smoothies and a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Wow, I don't know why it took me so long to review this place. I have been coming here quite a while. Always clean, always fresh, great sandwiches, owner operated, just a great local place. Salads are home made and done daily. It is just a great local place to grab a sandwich quick. It is homemade healthier food and not a grease trap. read more

Great coffee, delicious sandwiches and yummy treats. The owner is friendly and helpful. Must stop for coffee lovers. I bring my own ceramic go cup for first rate latte. read more

I've been here twice and i haven't been disappointed. I've gotten the blt and added turkey to it and I also got a tuna salad on a croissant the other day and that was also very tasty. The sandwiches come with a little side of macaroni or potato salad and I've had both of them, I liked the potato salad a lot more since I'm a big potato addict lol. The coffee is amazing though I've had an ice coffee with caramel and some hazelnut and it taste very smooth, I usually get soy milk in my coffee so it's not as light but I love how the coffee is very distinct in its taste. Definitely come get your coffee here!! read more

Java Dave’s Coffee - I got a turkey blt and it was really good! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Amboy, New Jersey

This is a quaint little cafe! Went for coffee after a busy day at work to wind down. The barista was really friendly and helpful. Seating is limited, but when I went the traffic was low, so I was able to get a table. I would definitely go back and try the other items on their menu, I got a simple espresso this time. read more

Great spot right in the middle of town! Milkshakes are DELICIOUS!! You have to try it out for a quick coffee or an after dinner milkshake. They're open a bit later than most coffee shops which is convenient. Check it out and support local! read more

Java Dave's is a great addition to South Amboy's downtown. So far I have had the terrific coffee, wonderful desserts and tasty sandwiches. There are other items listed on the wall charts that I can't wait to try. It is worth a visit. read more

Yummy cakes and sandwiches are nice I would go here with friends every day after school if I could.

Day off for daughter...stopped for coffee. Got the basic hot coffee and she got a strawberry smoothie and nachos. Everything was great and we are looking forward to going back sob! read more

Bagel dry and not fresh. Coffee ok. Can't rate anything else although the pastries looked really pretty.

Java Dave's is the most perfect coffee shop. They have all different coffees, smoothies and lattes. For someone with allergies like myself, they have oat, almond and many dairy free milks as well. Support your small businesses. read more

Stopped here unexpectedly while away from home and absolutely loved it ! The guy making the drinks made them all extra special and added the perfect touch. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area again. read more

Dave and his team make simply great coffees and lattes - far better than what you get at any of the chain coffee shops. Be warned, however, that Dave's lattes may be habit-forming! read more

Really great experience, will be returning frequently when I want a specialty coffee. I had the iced Manda Mocha and it was perfect, my boyfriend had the cafe latte and he thought it was great. I took an apple turnover and the rainbow cake to go and both were delicious. Definitely worth trying especially if you're local, support your town! read more
