    During my visit in Petaluma, I found Java Jacks. It's not your typical coffee shop but it's a MUST try. Judging by the photos & it being located in a parking lot, I wasn't sure but decided to try. The owners are super nice & awesome, I order a Dirty Chai (one of the best I have ever had). The raspberry scone delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was quick, they have a seating table or you can drive through.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If I lived in Petaluma, I would be here every week, I highly recommend Java Jacks.

    My husband works in Petaluma & frequently visits local coffee shops, including this one. I was in town so I decided to try it out. They offer a variety of coffee options to choose from all sounding more & more delicious! I went with the nutty Irishman from their spring specials & it was so good! The hazelnut flavor was absolutely delicious. The service was amazing, I love local businesses because you can tell they really know their customers & value them. Love that it's also a drive through perfect for when you're in a rush or when you don't want to get out of your car!

    My go-to coffee spot, and honestly, a hidden gem! I swing by 1-2 times a week on my way to the office, and every single time, I'm reminded why I keep coming back. The staff here are absolute sweethearts--seriously, some of the kindest people you'll meet. What makes this place extra special? It's owned and run by the owner herself! You can feel that extra bit of love and care in everything--from the drinks to the service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's got that cozy, small-business vibe that just makes you feel at home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's never a crazy long line, and you can either walk up or cruise through the drive-thru, depending on your vibe. And can we talk about the fact that they've memorized my order?! That kind of personal touch is SO rare and so appreciated. I've never had a bad drink or bad service here. Every visit is smooth, fast, and friendly. One small wish: I wish they had more locations--because this place is truly one of the best coffee shops I've ever been to. Do yourself a favor and stop by. You'll be hooked too!

    Java Jack's has great service! It's a little odd set up wise for a drive thru; no one came out to my car for an order, but they took it when I got to the window. I had a mocha, nothing excited, but it was good, and hot!! They were gracious enough to give my dog a pup cup of whip too, so bonus star for that!!!

    This is my favorite coffee place! I am absolutely hooked on the dirty chai. The ladies are so nice and work quickly and are great at helping people through the drive up window and the walk up window. Brigitte is the absolute sweetest but honestly all the employees are friendly. They also have the sweetest pup mascot (see photo)! Whenever I bring my pup they give her a little treat :)

I appreciated that this coffee shop had so much personality! The ambiance is welcoming. Service was good. I ordered the salted maple matcha with oat milk (less sweet + extra matcha) and cornbread (last one of the day). I was told another small business supplies this place with its baked goods! I found the cornbread to be a bit dry, but it's possible it had been sitting out for a while. The matcha itself had an overly bitter aftertaste. As someone who considers herself a matcha connoisseur, I found the bitterness went beyond what I personally enjoy. It overpowered the drink rather than enhancing the matcha flavor! If I order it again, I'd probably keep the sweetness level the same while still adding extra matcha powder. I don't have any notes for the cold foam. My boyfriend and I sat outside for about an hour enjoying our time and talking about the new Spiderman movie. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the morning. Overall - 3/5.

Later, after both brunch and the bridal appointment, we happened to run into her again. She remembered us and even asked my friend if she had found any dresses she liked. The décor is beautiful, warm, and inviting. They also have a bakery if you're just looking to grab something quick to go. The only downside is that it's a bit on the pricey side, but for a special occasion or a nice brunch outing, I think it's worth it. I'd definitely come back!

Strawberry maritozzi: Of all of the pastries this was actually my last favorite. I felt like the bread was a bit dry and flavorless. The cream was good however and not too sweet like your typical American dessert. I think if they could some how use a different type of bun that isn't as dry, this would be amazing. 2. Caprese Sandwich (wrap): This was incredible. I really liked this sandwich. It was so flavorful and the balance of the pesto and chicken was amazing. Highly recommend. Very large and filling too. 3. Mushroom focaccia: Loved this! Focaccia was fluffy and a very generous amount of mushrooms on top. 4. Passion Fruit pasty: I LOVED this! It reminds me of being in hawaii again and reminded me of the malasalas there however in a pastry dough form. 5. Chocolate pistachio croissant: High quality pasty very fluffy and light with huge amount of chocolate. Overall, I felt like the savory items were incredible and overshadowed the sweet items. The sweet were still good though. Everything was high quality and fairly priced. Only item that I wouldn't get again is the Maritozzi.

A real nice vibe, nicely decorated with some incredible pastries to include the orange cranberry scone as I recall, sold out today. My breakfast today was quite good with the walnut toast, and a huge portion of very large potatoes that could've been cut into smaller pieces and maybe I only needed one third of the portion. Dem tatters were 'nuff for four people. Great atmosphere, nice friendly staff, and a very pleasant ambience. There's mirrored signage that says TEA mounted high on the wall across from one another so as to appear as if it were a reflection. I personally can also see the word EAT in there every time I glance at it. I was told years ago that it came from an old Texaco gas station sign. It makes sense, check it out. On Western Avenue. I used to tell folks it's across from the pink Catholic Church rectory. That's been painted to a rather unattractive conservation brown. A lot of nice outdoor seating and cool shops nearby, check out next-door thrift shop and the ever remarkable Petaluma market around the corner, with superb produce display!
