Always great drinks and the service is always with a smile. My coworkers and I usually order a couple times a week

Daughter wanted to grab a drink for her and her sister, I pull in she's looking at the menu and as I go ask a question about a drink the lady is communicating with the car behind us getting their order; so I asked for the menu and we parked, tried to look up drinks on their social media... outside of group pictures and drink for the week, it's nowhere to be found. She decides on drinks out of the simpler names (s'mores and Twix). We get back in the opposing lane, car in front of us orders, the same lady leaves the window, exits the back door with a pen and notepad to take the order of the vehicle behind us. Ordering at the window, same lady, just very unpleasant and not welcoming at all. Just very stoic like if she didn't want to be there and we were bugging by saying the 2 drinks of the same size. The blonde lady who handed us our order was more upbeat and pleasant for even just the brief moment. TLDR; don't and won't recommend, prices match up with Starbucks if not a little more but is far behind in customer service and quality. read more

As a coffee enthusiast I like trying out different coffee roasters any place. The reasons I drove Thur today was because they had a voted best coffee banner out front. I ordered a regular house coffee with a tiny bit of sugar. It was so bad I dumped it out by the planter. I could tell they haven't descaled their coffee machines in years, maybe never. It was a yucky bitter taste like a ash tray flavor. I would not recommend this place to anyone Really disappointed read more

I love this place , I love the coffee , I love the Tea, I love all the sweet ladies, and the love that surrounds us when we go there.. I love The ambiance and the girls are so friendly and always smiling!! They serve sugar free drinks and I have to have those with my diabetes. So if you haven't tried Java Express yet you definitely need too. They make our drinks perfect and They are yummy!! read more

Do not go if you expect real expresso drink. Sweet drinks are good but my latte tastes watery.

Really cute drive through. Great customer service. And delicious chai latte. What else can you ask for? You should try it out.

As much as I enjoy this place, the workers can't make a vanilla bean the same, and that's the only drink I order when I go. Most of the time it's too watery, big chunks of ice still, and no flavor. Very rare do the girls make it thick and creamy which is how I like it. read more

Today I purchased a blended Chai latte. It was absolutely delicious! Java Express is such a great local business. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a delicious drink! The employees are super nice and helpful! read more

This drive thru coffee shop is super cute. It had friendly staff and fair pricing and was open later in the evening for a Saturday. We ordered an iced mocha and a hot chai. The chai was good. The iced mocha was just okay. It was more of an iced chocolate milk. So that was a bit of disappointment. We will go back and give it another chance when we visit Porterville. They offer biscotti, bagels and muffins. They offer multiple milk options for an additional charge. They also have smoothies and energy drink options. read more

Like the drinks, me and my kids loved the place. We had a lot of choices to choose from so it was nice to

Servers are very nice. I go there for cold blended chai tea. Usually only that. It's my favorite drink.

I recently tried the Java Express located in the SVMC and was very pleased with my experience. The employee was friendly and very helpful with assisting me in my selection. I will definitely be back. read more

drinks here are bomb and one of the few places that actually sell what they named it after . Great and fast service + love their signs revolving what they represent . place is a bit small so don't miss it + patio outside . read more

Aw man; I really wanted to love this place -- especially with their support of firefighters. I went to check up on a property in Porterville today, and saw this place next to Starbucks. With these weird times, I figure I might as well support local businesses, so on my way back home, I stopped by Java Express. The drive thru kiosk was really cool, and they have a lot of great flavors. I ordered a hot vanilla lemon latte. It was a little pricy for a medium ($5.25), but I was willing to pay. Driving through Exeter, I took my first sip, and it had a cottage cheese texture. I opened the lid, and it was all curdled. Not sure if the lemon syrup has chunks in it, or if the milk was bad, but it was not appetizing. I dumped it down the drain the second I got home. Darn! Carson C. Visalia, CA read more

I am addicted to the Red Bull drink Twisted Sister...enough said. Come get your coffee drinks here, better than that place...you know the star place...oh well they are not important. read more

Java Express - The Twisted Sister...so good!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Porterville, California

I will give them 3 stars now that the old lady is gone. She was super rude!! Coffee is still not as strong as I prefer though. But better.

This place makes some of the best Frappuccino's in town. I'm glad they have stuck around despite of all the other coffee shops in town.

Better than Starbucks from ingredients to staff and variety of flavors also cool red bull mixed drinks! Only thing I can ask is if they can please put descriptions of the Red Bull drink because they have so many to choose! And some flavors are not self explanatory but the staff always helps regardless just think it would make it easier so I can try them all ! read more

The best coffee in town! The early morning shift is always friendly and quick! If they see me in line they will start my drink.

Best place to get your coffee, cold or hot!! Super fast don't have to wait forever to get your drink and the people that work there are super friendly read more

I seriously cannot say how much I love this place into words. We don't live in town but my best friend lives in Porterville and every time we are in town we never skip a chance for Java. When we leave town we even stop to get drinks with no ice so I can enjoy for a few days after leaving town. They have sooo many options and fun creations. All the employees are all so amazing and the owner is one in a million! My husband doesn't drink coffee but he loves their Red Bull drink selections. Thank you guys for being so great now let's open some more locations read more

Love me some JAVA EXPRESS! Java has so many options from teas , coffees, and red bull drinks! They are GREAT!

Great Service. Terrible coffee. The girls are always friendly, fast to get my order out but the coffee I get is usually over sweet, under filled, weak, and consistently made with beans that taste like dirt. read more

Whoa! This place is outrageously yummy! This is my first time coming here. Sis and I ordered the peach smoothie and a mint chip Frappuccino made with coconut milk. My frapp has a very creamy consistency and amazing flavor....tastes like a girl scout Thin Mint. Peach smoothie has the flavor you hope for. We will be back. read more

Java is home! My favorite place about my small hometown. A family operated business that is all about culture, speed, quality and service! Love this place, the crew and the love they give us customers through the window is like no other! Genuine connections, even better coffee! Love love love, best baristas around read more

I was born and raised in Porterville and it wasn't until I recently moved back that I decided to finally try this place. Let me just say I have been missing out. I've worked for Starbucks before and I can honestly say the blended beverages here are way better than Starbucks Frappuccinos. The main reason is they use that crushed nugget ice to blend their beverages. Starbucks uses normal ice. Also for the price, it's almost as much as Starbucks so might as well support a local family owned coffee shop. I've been here about 5 times now and every time I've had nothing but great service and amazing drinks. The drinks are blended so well and they're so smooth. Not a single chunk of ice. I haven't tried anything other than their blended beverages so I can't speak on behalf of the rest of the menu but I'm confident that they taste just as good. If you've ever had the coffee bean...this is similar in texture and even taste. I highly recommend this little cafe. They have so many great flavors to chose from and also they have a good amount of sugar free drinks as well. I will admit I wish they had some kind of rewards or like a buy a certain amount get one free type of deal. read more

Love this place ,love the people that own it,service is always hreat coffees always good .i only have nice things to say ,if your in town besure to go by there . read more

Friendly staff, and delicious blended drinks. The reason for 4 stars is because of two reasons. My first time coming, I asked if it was possible to make a sugar free blended drink. I was told yes, that they offer sugar free flavors. However, when I talked to a different employee. She said the blended drinks aren't sugar free because of the base. The second reason is because the iced coffee is listed as $2.95 (cream and sugar). I ask to sub for sugar free vanilla and heavy cream. Which to my surprise made it $4. Starbucks trenta 31oz ice coffee is $3.95 no additional cost for cream and sf vanilla. read more

I've lived in porterville area all my life and it's only been this year 2020 that I discovered java and I live it I'm never going back to anything else they are fast and so yummy there are so many options definitely a must read more

I have been here several times and get great service EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. My kids love it, and I love it too. They have more syrup flavors than Starbucks and much better coffee. I have been coming here more as I'd rather support a local shop as opposed to a big franchise business. A local family owns this place, and that's how you feel when you are there, like family. It is a small Express coffee shop with drive thru and walk up only, but the options are great and like I said before, the service is amazing. They have coffees of the day, which I only get sometimes, I dont like sweet coffee. I love the americano with English toffee.... oh my lanta... yummy delish! If you haven't been, you must go!! read more

I absolutely love Java! They have the nicest owner and such amazing staff! The wait time is always quick, and such incredible quality drinks too. I can't even have a drink last longer than 5 minutes before I drink it all. My favorite blended drinks from there are: ferro roche, strawberry lemonade, banana split, Java chip, and carmel delight. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in town. They're fast, nice, and have soooo many options and flavors. Definitely recommend.

Super good coffee! I got the Milky Way blended for a nice little treat! Great taste, portioning and friendly people! Huge assortment of drinks, currently the drink of the week is the Mint Oreo. The also use vitamix blenders which means the blend is awesome! read more

So, so GOOD! Every single drink I have had here is delicious. I will say, if you are in a hurry it may not be a good idea to stop by here. The drinks are handcrafted and even though they try their best to get everyone out of there fast, sometimes you do get stuck in line but none the less, the drinks are amazing! I love the Red Bull drinks read more

Great coffee and great people! At times the lines can be a little long, but it's worth the wait. Friends don't let friends drink corporate coffee!! read more

Local coffee drive-thru with great drinks! They always have the kindest people working the windows. My go-to orders are the iced creme brûlée and the iced German chocolate. Love that it's Christian based. read more

Best coffee drinks and customer service in town. Great and diverse selection of drinks. Had the Blended Almond Joy recently and it was the best blended drink I've had so far. Recommend stopping by and getting drinks for the whole family! read more

The local Starbucks in town have failed me. I decided to spend my money somewhere else where they can make drinks properly. Java Express DID NOT fail me. I love energy drinks ;therefore, I didn't hesitate to order a twisted sister. Today, the friendly staff made me my own customized energy drink. I will always choose Java Express over Starbucks. read more
