    Snowy owl (seasonal specialty coffee)
    Ophelia M.

    I was utterly charmed by this darling coffee shop nestled in downtown Port Washington. My husband and I were headed on a day trip to Green Bay when we were in need of a bite and some caffeine for the road. Enter Java Dock Cafe. I ordered a bagel and one of their specialty lattes, assuming I'd have to take it to go as their space is so small and there weren't any tables that I could see. I was wrong! They have an adorable dining space on the second floor. If you're able to navigate a flight of stairs, you can definitely enjoy your coffee and bites in house. The asiago bagel and cream cheese was toasted and delicious. The latte was lovely and the service was wonderful. Zero complaints. I would definitely stop in here the next time I'm in the area. Get to it!

    Spacious, cute upstairs!

    I like to bike to coffee shops near Cedarburg and this year I discovered the Java Dock Cafe in Port Washington. When you walk in you will see a smaller area where you order...it's cute but be sure you go upstairs....You will find a large, bright, tasteful room with lots of tables and lots of windows. The Oatmilk Latte I got was good and the Raspberry scone delish. They also have a few outdoor tables and a walk up order window. Most importantly, all of the employees seemed to care (you can tell). The Java Dock Cafe is not on the main downtown street (it's around the corner) so be sure you don't miss it.

    You can almost miss this nice place in Port Washington. We came on a Monday morning, and landed here since there were limited options. We enjoyed the breakfast burritos and scones, as well as some crafty coffee drinks. The upstairs is indeed a nice quiet place.

    A friendly small coffee house with a variety of roasters (Valentine, Anodyne, Collectivo, Stone Creek). The Scones are are not overly sweet and taste fresh out of the oven. I would visit more often if they started offering a tasty egg and bacon breakfast sandwich. There is a walk up window, seating outside and indoor upstairs.

    My kind of place.. some treats and other beverages.. a window to serve the folks outside (not a drive up!)

    Good coffee, scones and pleasant staff. Walk up window for when we're walking the pups. It's exactly what I'm looking for in the morning.

Everyone appears to love it at Hollander Chocolate, including one of my older friends. But I can't say I feel the same. When I finally got a chance to eat there, I ordered a chocolate croissant and an iced white-chocolate matcha latte. While I waited upstairs, I was impressed by the fancy and professional decor of the cafe. There was even a secret entrance I watched someone walk through. The wait wasn't too long, and when I received my croissant, the pastry was good to average: just what someone would expect from an innocent chocolate croissant. However, my drink was certainly a different story. It took me the entire afternoon to fully complete my experience of the latte. I admit that I am somewhat of a slow drinker, but this wasn't a speed preference. While I appreciated the modern and curved shape of the plastic, the liquid inside was almost sickeningly sweet. I tasted virtually no coffee, and the fluid was entirely green. I'm not exactly complaining about the color, but I am pointing out how thick it was with flavoring. Despite my latte's green color, I tasted heavily more white chocolate than matcha. The drink's taste resembled liquified sugar. By the time I at last finished it, my body felt numb and tired from the overwhelming amount of sweetness. I also lost my appetite for dinner. As you may presume, I am not coming back here unless the other cafes nearby close.

I had a Mint-Vanilla Au Lait (seasonal) and it was nice and drinkable. The mint was more of a scent than a flavor, so the iced beverage hit the spot on this hot summer morning!

My mom ordered a latte and the coffee itself has a sour taste which I've heard from others too! It was a $7 latte and she ended up tossing it. All of their flavored syrups are the Monin brand so nothing homemade and very artificial tasting. I ordered a bagel and it was $5, and it came with a Jif PB packet and Smuckers jelly. I wish they would at least have homemade jam or a peanut butter that doesn't have terrible fillers and oil in its product. I then asked for cream cheese and it also came in a packet. The bagel ended up being hard after 20 minutes and I had to toss. The prices are so overpriced for the quality.

    I had to check out the Java House ad my sister just bought a home nearby. Such a cute little spot!…read moreI can imagine how cozy and perfect it will be in the winter months - it feels very Gilmore Girls-esque. The baristas were cheerful and knowledgeable. My dad got a breakfast sandwich and I stole a bite - it was tasty! I ordered a cortado and it came in the cutest little cup. It was solid, not the best cortado I've had in my life, but it did the trick. Will definitely be going back!

Food: I checked online before coming, and they have an impressive list of drinks, both hot and cold. We ordered a couple of lattes. Mine was a London Fog Tea Latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla) in a mug, and hers was a Coffee Vanilla Latte with almond milk. They did a great job with both of them. My London Fog had great flavor, well-textured foam, and was a good temperature. They did leave the tea bag in, which might be their standard practice, but I prefer the tea to be fully steeped and then have the bag removed. Otherwise, removing the bag later messes with all the wonderful foam (next time I would ask). Each of us got a scone. Mine was blueberry, and hers was white chocolate raspberry, warmed up and plated. Both were very good. If I had to be completely honest, these scones are more like muffins than traditional scones. However, they were both delicious. Service: As soon as we walked up to the counter, it was nothing but friendly vibes and helpful service. They stepped us through the details of the order ("whole milk okay, how much flavor, etc."). They didn't rush the orders and took their time getting them right. When the bakery items were heated up, they brought them to our table. I always got the feeling that they truly appreciated us being there. Atmosphere: The building is a quaint, wonderfully maintained historic brick building. There are café tables outside that would be great on a warmer day. When you enter, you are taken back in time. The vibe is authentic and relaxed. Much of the interior looks like it may be from long ago. It's a bit cluttered, which could be distracting, but I think it fits. There are enough windows to bring in a good amount of natural light. The counter has a large array of pastries, muffins, cookies, etc. The main area doesn't have a lot of seating, and I did find it a bit loud. There is a separate seating area toward the back with several more tables and much less noise, which is where we sat. A very good first visit. Would definitely come back again.
