    Doppio espresso
    Brad N.

    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!

    Delicious scones and a jackhammer coffee.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Java Jack's in Lufkin is conveniently located and we often stop by when running errands or going to appointments. The shop is clean and has a pleasant decor. The staff where masks. We usually takeout our drinks unless the inside seating area is not busy. Drinks are competitively priced. Restrooms are clean. Parking is ample.

    Ice matcha latte with oat milk! My barista helped me with controlling the sugar level, since the oat milk already came sweetened.

    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.

    Very cool spot in E. Texas. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Atmosphere just what the doctor ordered and the coffee was delicious. You know I am new to the coffee craze but visiting locations like this was worth the wait. I had the lumberjack this morning but will try the red dirt later so stay tuned.

    The Best place in town for coffee!

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

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

    Although we have never formally dined inside the 1st City Cafe, every time we stay at the Fredonia,…read morewe have wonderful cocktails at the Nine Flags Bar and we order food from the 1st City menu and everything we have ever had was delicious. We really enjoy their pimento cheese, housemade crackers and whipped candied jalepeno dip, the chicharonnes and queso and the great big salads. But oh, the Rebellion Nachos.....I see you sexy nachos over there with all of the hotness.....You simply must sub the Akaushi Tenderloin on the nachos. Thank me later. We normally have cocktails and snacks at the bar and then we order our entrees to take up to the room to enjoy. The service is always top notch here.

    I am a guest at the hotel, and unfortunately, the service I experienced in the café and poolside…read morearea on August 21 was extremely disappointing. After helping our daughter move for school, we returned to the hotel exhausted. We had already had an early dinner, so we decided to have a drink and order a light appetizer and dessert poolside. The bar was crowded, and although three different servers came through the pool area, not one stopped at our table to ask whether we needed menus or anything else. We eventually had to flag someone down ourselves. Unfortunately, that interaction seemed to set the tone for the remainder of the evening. The staff we encountered were consistently unwelcoming and inattentive. It gave the impression that they were simply there to complete their shift rather than provide the level of hospitality guests should reasonably expect. The atmosphere was also frustrating. A toddler was repeatedly screaming at the top of her lungs while a musician was performing, and the child's father made no apparent effort to address the situation. While that is not necessarily the hotel's responsibility, the combination of the disruptive environment and poor service made for a particularly unpleasant experience. The situation became even more frustrating when we accidentally left my arm brace on the table as we hurried to finish our nightcap and leave. Within approximately five minutes of realizing it was missing, my husband returned to retrieve it. Since it had been left on the table moments earlier, we expected that the server or another staff member would be able to locate it easily. Instead, he was sent from the bar to the kitchen and then to the front desk. After approximately 15 minutes, he returned without the item. That experience reinforced the impression I had already formed earlier in the day: there appears to be very little communication or coordination among the staff. No one seemed to take ownership of a simple guest-service issue or make an effort to resolve it efficiently. When guests are paying nearly $600 for two nights in a small town such as Nacogdoches, particularly at a property marketed as one of the best accommodations in the area, there is an expectation of professional, attentive hospitality. Guests should feel welcomed, recognized, and valued. Unfortunately, I did not experience that during my stay. The attitude of the waitress who ultimately served us was particularly disappointing and significantly affected the overall experience. Her demeanor was not appropriate for someone working in a customer-service position, much less one at a property presenting itself as a higher-end accommodation. I strongly recommend that management take a closer look at staff training, communication, accountability, and expectations surrounding guest service. Tipping is part of the hospitality industry, and guests should not have to repeatedly seek out employees for basic service. Based on this experience, I will not be staying here again. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and uses it as an opportunity to improve the guest experience for future visitors.
