First off this place is a drive through with some expresso and Jesus name on it. I ordered a latte with hazelnut for which I paid around $6-$7 for a sweet milk which had more hazelnut flavor than coffee in it. I think she forgot to add coffee to it. Tasted horrible. Plain milk tastes better. I would not recommend this place. The only good thing was the Christmas sticker on top. read more

Great coffee house with wonderful choices and decent prices!!! Try this place out you won't be sorry!!! The service is always fast and friendly read more

Now called "Hot Shot Espresso" - very good coffee, lots of different drinks to try. Good customer service, always willing to make any creation you ask for. Coffee is strong which I like, would definitely recommend! Price could be better but I'd still spend my money there. Convenient drive thru with a window on both sides. read more

If you're looking for a caffeine surprise Java Nick's can bring it together in a few short minutes. If you blink you will miss this tiny gem. The staff is friendly and patient. I had a mocha grasshopper that was absolutely terrific. It was a pleasant surprise to the regular coffee. read more

Coffee was good , however fruit smoothies did not appear to be made with real fruit. Still enjoy supporting local coffee shops - this was the only One we could find in Carlsbad that was open in the late afternoon read more

Great locally owned coffee hut with plenty of really good options! They do a great job of supporting the community which makes it even better. It is a business worth rooting for! read more

We were out-of-owners who were looking for any coffee other than convenience store coffee. Thankfully we did not have to settle and found Java Nick's. I had an XL Iced Snickerdelicious Latte, which was excellent. It was a plus that they used just enough ice, where other drink places fill drinks with ice. If we come back through, we will make a point to stop by. read more

While it's true that Java Nick's has great coffee and the people who work there are super sweet, their hours of operation are horrible! And since I have to rate things on their availability to actually get them, I have to give Java Nick's two stars. Let me explain: They close at 1:00 in the afternoon on Saturday!!! Seriously?!? I could buy three drinks on a Saturday if they stayed open until 7. On weekdays they don't open until 6:30 a.m. and on Saturdays it's 7. Closed on Sundays, which I get because it's Sunday and Christians. But, I'm Christian and I drink coffee everyday of the week. I also go out of town frequently and have to leave before 7 a.m. because it takes 3 hours to get anywhere good. So, there are just so many times I need a good cup of coffee and the cute little hut sits all closed and abandoned :( I'd venture to say they could drastically increase profits if they extended their hours of operation. And they could hire high schoolers and college students who are in class until 1:00. Just a thought. Otherwise, keep making great coffee and treat those super sweet employees extra well! read more

This is my favorite coffee place in town. Great service and GREAT coffee. I'm not one who usually drinks coffee and I've gone here almost everyday this week. Highly recommend! They also have some breakfast options and I just want to say the oatmeal is the way to go! read more

Noticeably Great coffee. I saw this place on the side of the road as a mini drive through and so I tried it out. Excellent choice! I merely got a coffee with milk but it was GOOD coffee! What else should one expect from a place specializing in coffee!? They do have pastries and other offerings but I just got coffee. I returned each remaining day that week on my business trip for my start to each day. Very happy I checked this place out. read more

Java Nick's Coffee Hut - a hand giving a thumbs up - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carlsbad, New Mexico

A lovely little coffee shack, hands down some of the best I've had in awhile. They have tons of fruity options for the youngsters, and a whole bunch of interesting options for drinks(I had the almond joy mocha). Very pleased with the price, too. The smalls are about medium sized, so keep that in mind when ordering. Definitely recommend stopping by this place! read more

I love this coffee shop. The owner is amazing, and always does so much for the community. Every time I've gone, the staff gets my order out fast and is incredibly friendly. This is a business that cares about its costumers and it's town, and it makes me love them all the more. The lemon poppy seed muffin top is my kiddos favorite, and if I could get the butter beer frappe every day, I would. I also enjoy reading the Bible verse of the day, every time I wait for my coffee. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to use their money for great causes as well as enjoy delicious coffee. read more

Basically a Starbucks but better!! I haven't had one drink from there I haven't liked! The prices are about the same as Starbucks but I would rather go to Java Nicks because his stuff tastes better. read more

They make the best drinks around town. They range from hot to cold coffee drinks and then some non-coffee options (hot chocolate, smoothies, italian creme sodas, etc). You can sit outside at a picnic table if you want or just get it to go. They have several breakfast choices (oatmeals, bagels) and serve soup for lunch. There are two sides to the drive thru but they still serve one at a time so it can take a while. They will deliver for businesses if you get 4+ items. Overall it is a good little coffee hut. read more

This is stellar coffee! (And I'm very picky).I had an iced coffee with cream, and it was robust and strong! Thank you Jesus!

I absolutely love this coffee-shop I come here all the time and there one of the only ones that will give you 32 ounce coffee and it maybe a little pricey but it's a small price to pay when you need that extra push for the day it's worth it not to mention they stay open til six pm !! I recommend coming here to anybody it's cute everything tastes good and the coffee doesn't make your stomach sick go Java Dave's!!! :) read more

Need a good latte when you are in Carlsbad, this is the place. In fact almost the only place although trinity and blue house also have lattes. This was my best by far on this trip. Friendly efficient services and any flavor combo you want if that is your thing. Make mine skim plain latte. It's a little coffee hut by the side of the street. Look close or you will miss it read more

We stopped here in early June - I was just hoping to find coffee but I found luscious selections of goodness. The lady working was good humored and put up with our rambling, our drinks were great and so happy we found this spot read more
