We checked this place out for the first time since we went to SFA in 2007. This place has stayed consistent. Great coffee, great people and a cozy 2 story spot to hang. My wife enjoyed her iced mint mocha. We were hoping they had a few more breakfast options (sandwiches or bagels), but our daughter loved the chocolate beignets. There are other big chain coffee stores in town, but this local business is better. Check them out. read more

So cute!!! This is a well loved local spot and for good reason. The coffee is great! I appreciated how many sugar free and dairy options that they have. The food options are also great and high quality. The muffins are baked in house and are so good! Highly recommend! read more

This place is a nice little cafe nestled in the Piney Woods of East Texas, in the home of the SFA Lumberjacks (Axe 'Em!). We were in town for a wedding, and dropped by for a breakfast sandwich and a refill on coffee beans for the AirBNB. I can't resist trying an espresso, so I also got a doppio for dine in. The espresso was well balanced, had a very clean finish, but was a fairly "safe" shot in terms of flavor, nothing too adventurous. It'd be great in milk drinks, which I suspect is the focus of most drinks sold here anyway. The drink and my sandwich to go were served quickly with a smile, and the mug I purchased with the bagged coffee was well wrapped and packed by the efficient staff at the counter. Definitely a nice place for an "above the average" coffee and experience, plenty of seating, and if you need a V60, Clever dripper, filters, or other gear, they've got a good selection of that as well. We'll definitely make a return visit before we leave town! read more

Love this little coffee shop. I had a jackhammer and a blueberry scone. The jackhammer is just the right spot of strength and a scone had delicious crispy edges. Will be back. read more

Starbucks who?!?! Java Jacks has and always will be one of my favorite go to coffee houses when I come to Nac! I just wish I had my own personal one in Houston! Their service is amazing and the ambiance when you're inside is top notch! They have and always will get a 10/10 from me! read more

Top notch coffee and service. Busy is a good sign for a coffee shop in mid morning so the short wait is worth it! We bought a bag of their roasted whole beans too read more

This spot was recommended by a friend and I'm so glad I stopped by! I tried the Blueberry Cold Brew and, while I personally can't say that I'll choose to combine blueberry and coffee, did find the drink very refreshing and perfect for a hot summer's day. You can tell they use fresh ingredients. Regarding the pastries, the scones were good but I wasn't the biggest fan of the chocolate chip muffin I had. It wasn't very flavorful to me, but then again, that might be personal preference. I loved the vibes of this place, the cool merch and friendly staff though! read more

Everything is hot out of the oven! The scones and croissants were amazing! Go for the coffee, stay for the baked goods!

Great local coffee shop. Some of the best regular drip coffee I've had. Only negative would be not having the majority of the baked goods available at opening. Went on two occasions and both times had no muffins available at 6 a.m. read more

I got the cookie butter latte/w oat milk, it is very good. The service was great, the place was quaint a good place to get a latte and a muffin. read more

Excellent! Freshly and perfectly roasted beans. A wide variety of beans from different sources. The baristas are quite knowledgeable and friendly. One of my favorite places to sit and read or play a game of chess in a cozy atmosphere. read more

Great selection and cool vibes. They will accommodate what you request if they can. Coffee, vanilla bean cream, muffins were good. Parking is a little challenging. read more

I believe in buying local. However, "local" also must have a quality product. Java Jacks is both. Initially, this coffee company was started in Nacogdoches, Texas. They now have a location in Lufkin, Texas. They serve really good coffee. Everybody has different tastes and what they appreciate in coffee so I will let you come in and decide for yourselves what is best. However, I can say I've never had anything bad here. Also, the staff is friendly and accommodating for to-go orders that are larger. I often stop here and get the larger travel boxes for my customers. They all seem to like their coffee as well so I will keep doing it. Tip- They have an app if you want to utilize it. Bottom line - A local coffee company with very good coffee and very good customer service. What more can you ask for from a local business? I hope you enjoyed as much as I do. Bon appétit, y'all. read more

Java Jacks Coffee House - Barrista working the beans - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nacogdoches, Texas

I've been visiting my family in Nacogdoches for years and have always driven by here wanting to try it out. I finally did this July and I am nothing but pleased! I'm still a basic Starbucks fan but every time I get a chance to support local I do! I had visited twice, trying out their ice matcha latte and then an iced coffee on my way out of town the morning after. Everyone was very kind and really accommodating to requests I had as well as my family. I'm sad I just only visited them just now. I look forward to visiting again and more often during my trip duration from now on. read more

Very cool spot in E. Texas. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Atmosphere just what the doctor ordered and the coffee was delicious.

Java Jacks Coffee House - The Best place in town for coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nacogdoches, Texas

I looked through several options for a breakfast place this morning. I found this place on Google and saw the rave reviews for breakfast sandwiches. So I arrived with expectations that were dashed. There are three options on the menu. None are really breakfast but I selected the Morning Club when they asked me if I wanted an egg. I enthusiastically said yes and would like it over medium. She explained it comes as a frozen egg patty, so I declined. I sat down and received a brown paper bag with a soggy microwaved turkey, mayo, and onion, on a croissant. I took two bites, but I just can't finish! Who microwaves mayo? It's disgusting. read more

Over the several years, I've really grown to love coffee. I appreciate coffee the way some appreciate wine. Translation: when traveling, we're always on the lookout for a good locally owned coffee shop. My girlfriend attended school at SFA - so she spent a lot of time Java Jack's. Really glad she demanded a coffee stop. The first thing striking you while driving up is the uniqueness of the building itself. What a fantastic building! The upstairs - with the domed ceiling/roof and all the natural light - makes you wish all coffee shops were modeled that way! The second thing striking me: selling merchandise and coffee. Local roasters? Another huge plus; local roasters really appreciate their product and strive to achieve uniqueness in their roasts (as evidenced by my ordering experience). Third thing striking me: the ordering experience. I mean, they have a pour over option - another huge plus. Once I had my first (Chemex) pour over a year or so ago - I've never gone back. The barista was well informed about the coffee roasts/blends and directed me toward a great cup of coffee. This place makes definitely leaves you wishing there were more local coffee joints like Java Jack's. The ONLY reason I'm not giving 5 stars: lack of comfortable seating options. With the vibe of this place, adding some additional sofas and large plush, comfy chairs would shoot reviews into the stratosphere. There are some upstairs - but there is room for MORE! read more

Super cute ambiance and plenty of studying space. I got a matcha drink warm which was perfect for a chilly day.

Best coffee around! Love their espresso and the Red Dirt blend. Roasted locally. Delicious blueberry scones, croissants, & sandwiches. Friendly folks behind the counter! My favorite place to catch up with a friend or work from my laptop. read more

Java Jacks Coffee House - Vanilla coffee milkshake. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nacogdoches, Texas

Only here once while visiting Nacogdoches, but that was one good cup of coffee! They know how to do it here.

College kids, professors, lawyers, bikers, pikers, and hikers... everyone is right at home in this iconic coffee and light lunch-fare destination. They probably have more people on computers here than down the street at the University! Lively discussions over bagels, banana bread and steaming coffee are a daily staple. More choices than Starbucks for less bucks. Ample parking and clean restrooms. We shall return. read more

The best coffee house ever anywhere. We go out of our way to go there and still havent found one in all our travels that has a better black tie frozen extra shot. read more

Coffee and breakfast club sandwich were excellent. Service was friendly and helpful.

Cute atmosphere. Good coffee vibe music playlist, wifi, drinks, and food. We came here for coffees and a quick lunch while working on computers. Friendly staff, decent paninis, and delicious coffees. We had the iced crème brûlée - not sure if I miss starbucks cinnamon Dulce so bad but it was delicious - maybe even better! Made w almond milk. Ordered a iced raspberry mocha -it was ok. Still delicious but not compared to crème brûlée. Then an iced berry tea, yum. It has a cute patio up top on 2nd floor as well to enjoy and not stare at cars as they pull up, like 1st level patios experience. Great place. read more

On a road trip we were driving through town and stopped to grab a cup of coffee before continuing. What a great choice! Came in about 20 minutes before they closed and ordered a cold brew and their French Roast drip coffee. Both great quality and definitely would come back if I ever came back through! The guy behind the counter was very friendly and helpful when it came to their menu. Made us feel very welcomed! Plus the atmosphere was very neat with an upstairs and a balcony! read more

I just visited this place for the very first time. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and ambiance of the place. The menu was easy to understand and the staff were friendly and quick to take my order. I went with a simple white chocolate mocha. The drink was very nice, maybe even a little too sweet but I still enjoyed it. Service was quick and excellent. We sat upstairs to try and get some work done and enjoy our drinks. We both had some wifi troubles but we still got to chat and enjoy our drinks. Very cute hangout spot. read more

It's a coffeehouse. Nice atmosphere, good location. Snacks are good. I recommend them.

This place is a town jewel! They always make my drink how I want it, nice people running the window and inside. Kinda confusing if tips go on debit card receipts so sometimes I do sometimes I dont, never really know if they go back and add it. Regardless I love their coffee! I do wish they had their special drinks on a menu somewhere because their website menu isn't the only stuff they got. And they got some good stuff! Show what you got! Thanks for the good drinks! read more

Pretty good coffee and cheaper than Starbucks...especially if your in Nacogdoches there are not many choices. But they get the order right and it tastes similar to Starbucks. read more

The atmosphere is amazing and coffee is even better. The staff is fantastic and always friendly. Blueberry muffins and French roast coffee can't be beat. I swear I basically lived here in college and now no other coffee/coffee shop will ever compare. When I lived in Dallas, I tried to find a replacement, but nothing could compare to their iced coffee ‍ IYKYK read more

Addendum: after the staff's prompt, respectful, and appropriate response I have edited my initial review. The coffee is great, plenty of parking and upstairs/downstairs seating with tables, couches, and free wifi. Worth driving past Starbucks to try. *Wow. I've visited twice and had two completely different experiences. Don't ask for ice water to go because not only will the barista and manager verbally argue about their strict no-buying-large-cups policy but a random customer with too much time on his hands started pointing out the for here water cups I could use to drink from, standing in the store chugging water because the restrictions on which cups they're allowed to provide are so fair and make sense. I've never had this much of a problem ordering coffee. In Texas when the heat index tops 100 most restaurants are happy to offer large cups of water to go (in addition to the over priced coffee I was buying) but I was offered to purchase a small cup of ice for 25 cents OR buy a$3 bottle of smart water, but there was NO WAY I was getting a large cup of ice from that barista and manager even if I paid for it. I work outside. I dehydrate. I need more than 12 ounces of water at a time, and I don't want to pay for overpriced smart water. To the staff who did nothing to make me feel like a welcome customer, go back to the basics. Treat other people the way you want to be treated, not as an inconvenience to your day. read more
