    A friend introduced me to Java Jax a couple of years ago. He loved the bagel and lox and brought me here to try them out and also bought me one on a separate occasion. I remember the owner being a grouchy older man when I went. Aside from that, the bagel and lox being consistently delicious made me come back. It's been over a year since I had one! Wanting to satisfy my craving for that bagel and lox, I stopped by Java Jox for breakfast. The owner was not behind the counter today. A very pleasant woman was there to take my order. Once I ordered my bagel and lox on jalapeno bagel and paid, I took a seat at one of the empty tables. I sat for a little bit and looked out the large windows at the area. Not very long after, the cashier brought over my bagel and lox to me on a plate (Forgot to mention it was a "for here" order). Man, that bagel and lox was as good as I remembered! Every bite had the perfect amount of cream cheese, bagel, salmon, and tomato. The jalapeno bagel was nice and warm, and was split in half. I ate it all in one sitting. Thank you Java Jax!! I will be back!

    The fresh bagel and lox was great! Everything was prepared fresh and hot! Super fast and friendly service. Java Jax has a sorta retro/old school diner vibe complete with red bartop stools. The parking situation is either street parking and their little designated lot. The lot reminds me of an apartment garage lot. So it may honestly be easier to park on the street. They also offer pastries and sandwiches. I see this more as a casual grab and go place although they do have plentiful seating. I'd come back to grab another bagel!

    At Java Jax, expect to come in, order your stuff, and get it done right. The main guy, tho seemingly grumpy actually is quite friendly under his curmudgeon demeanor. To the left, you'll see a small frame of the famous internet cat- Grumpy Cat, which was gifted to him for obvious reasons, sitting on the counter. He seemed to be amused to share that. I know I was amused he did. The two vegans ordered lattes with the non-dairy options of almond, oat and soy milks. I went with soy, the friend went with oat. We were both happy with our coffees and the ratio of espresso that was used. They welcomed personal cups, which was nice. One less piece of trash for landfill. The price was SUPER REASONABLE unlike in other parts of The Bay. It didn't appear there were any vegan pastries but to be honest, we weren't sure we would even find dairy-free options so no complaints there. We just stopped in for a quick pick-me-up before heading over to Better Chew's Kitchen's grand opening. We'll definitely stop in again the next time we're in the area.

    This is a small coffee stop underneath a motel and easy to do a quick drive by. We went on a random morning and there was the only old guy, poor dude. Apparently whoever works for him didn't show up. So he was running around and there was quite a line. The menu is extensive from bagels, breakfast sandwiches, hot dogs, etc. A good spot for a quick stop if he had a full staff working maybe the service would have been faster. But not a place I'd regularly go to for my breakfast.

    Skip the chains, this place is phenomenal! I have been looking for a coffee spot that retains flavor but offers vegan friendly coffee alternatives and this spot hit me right where I needed it! Everywhere else my coffee tastes diluted or bland. Not here though! I got an iced mocha with soy milk and the flavor is addictive! The man working behind the counter was kind enough to let me know the blending mix they use isn't vegan friendly, but was happy to make me an iced one! The place was clean, and the atmosphere was relaxing, lovely staff. Excited to make this my new spot!

    Not anywhere as good as reviews claim. Food is very bland, and in a bad neighborhood.

    Wish I lived closer, the pastries are great and the coffee is top notch! Also one of the best hotdogs I've ever had.

    this is one of my favorite bakeries in the area. every one of their sweet and savory pastries,…read morecakes, etc. area delicious. years ago i had a guava cream cheese tart from here and i never got it out of my mind. i was instantly a repeat customer. their drinks are great too. they make a killer caramel latte. so flavorful and rich. the veggie pot pie is so good too if you want some hot savory food! this bakery is totally a gem for its beautiful location (treehouse bakery?!? ), clean ingredients, friendly employees, great service, incredible pastries, and it's even family owned. it's just amazing and i don't understand how the line is never crazy long all the times i've been! it should have a line wrapped around the building.

    On the way up during a trip, we stumbled upon this bakery. Never been to this area before. It had…read morequite the line It was a weekday and still busy in the morning. We got a coffee drink,chicken pot pie, almond croissant, sticky toffee pudding and cookie. The coffee was smooth. The Pie crust was good. The Croissant had lots of filling. The sticky toffee had a decent amount of sweetness and chew. Cookie was also pretty yummy. Ordering was fairly easy, just point to what you want. Will be back if we have to drive north. Service was ok. Inside was interesting to look around. Street parking in front.
