I ordered an iced coffee, nothing special just an iced coffee. The girl working at the counter was busy chatting with her friend who was standing in front of the pick-up counter and blocking it. They never called my drink so I waited because I was confused about the girl standing in front of the counter. I then walked over and the coffee had just been sitting there but they never said anything. The coffee was just plain drip coffee yet the bottom of the cup was filled with coffee grounds? Will not be coming here for coffee again. read more

Probably the best coffee place I have visited in a long time. We ordered Irish cream latte, caramel frapp, peach shake and all of them were refreshing and better than most chain coffee houses have to offer.They justified the tag of best coffee you'll ever have. Ambience was great with some unique boards and write ups. Staff was friendly. read more

Java Ranch Espresso Bar & Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

Self serve coffee was pretty good. Pastries were cold and taste like they bought them at Walmart... wish they would have offered to heat our pastries up read more

Cozy and relaxing venue I love the wall mural, the merchandise in the store was definitely over priced the coffee and teas were delicious. The sweet treats could use some sweetness added over all for a tourist town it was expected. Only 3 stars fir the over priced items which I wanted to purchase but could not find myself paying triple the price for something I can get anywhere... read more

The minute you walk through the doors, coffee beans and old Texas wooden floors greet you. I almost wish there was swinging doors like in the Wild West. But the cold brew was excellent and the baristas were kind and helpful! read more

Great espresso, great tasting latte. They were very nice and got orders out quickly. Full house! Check out the mural too. read more

Coffee latte was very watered down, and their excuse for Migas was absolutely the worst I have ever had. Powdered eggs with a little bit of pico cheese on top. Never again! read more

We came here specifically to get iced lattes and grabbed breakfast as well. The place is really cozy and smells like a cinnamon roll! Their kolaches are good but their breakfast tacos are just ok. First of all, they are huge! So think twice before ordering 2. And the tortillas are thick, too large and taste like flour. Not overly impressed. Grab a coffee here and go elsewhere to eat. read more

Java Ranch Espresso Bar & Cafe - Latte and breakfast tacos - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

The staff was nice and the americano was okay! I'm sure when we come back to Fredericksburg we will stop by again.

This is a great place to stop for a pick me up in fredericksburg. The coffee is fantastic. I had their medium roast coffee and I couldn't have been happier. I will absolutely be coming back every time I'm in town. read more

Cute little place, very polite staff. My husband & I had iced mochas for an afternoon pick-me-up, and they were perfect.

Love the cozy rustic decor & the cranberry muffins are sooo moist and flavorful! Pleasant modern background music too... we'll be back next for sure read more

Java Ranch Espresso Bar & Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

Coffee was delicious! Also had the croissant sandwich, which was good, but my favorite was the cinnamon roll. Very fluffy and soft. Yum!

This place was okay, but not outstanding. There were quite a few customers there so my order took awhile, but what irritated me was that they got my very easy order wrong so I sat there longer than I needed to since I didn't realize my order had been completed. A nice young man who made the coffee (didn't catch his name, but he's tall, slim, with short, light brown shaggy hair) helped me out and fixed the order, and remade the drink for me very quickly, apologizing for the mix-up. I would recommend this place if you don't mind waiting a little bit, but honestly if Ranch Road Roasters is open I'd suggest going to him first instead of here. MUCH better coffee. read more

As self-declared "coffeeheads", we were not expecting much in the way of good brew on vacation, but we were pleasantly surprised with the taste and strength of the iced Americanos at Java Ranch. The kolaches with the biscuit-feel were a different spin on the Texas staple and were quite tasty. Score! read more

Family and I came to this place while on a vacation for Labor Day weekend. We were so used to our morning coffee at a local Starbucks, but stumbled upon this place off Main Street. The coffee was pretty tasty and the actual shop had a warm feel. There is not that large a selection of snacks, so don't plan on eating breakfast or lunch here. I had a blueberry muffin that was good, but family and I will be going down the road for brunch after this. The only real downside to the place is the service. There were plenty of staff, but they seemed a bit more interested in catching up on gossip from the night before than attending to customers. The wait was about 15min to get our food and it probably could have been about five minutes if he staff was all working together to turn out food and drinks. With that being said, when I got to the front of the line, the people were very nice. Overall, check this place out for a good cup of coffee, but don't be in a hurry. read more

Excellent coffee! We had an iced Americano and an iced coffee (it was hot, go figure!). Super smooth and great black, flavorful coffee; not burnt or too acidic. The vibe in the place was great too. I'll definitely be coming back here for my coffee fix read more

Terrible coffee!! Unfortunately it was the only place open on a very cold Sunday. Mochas tasted more like hot chocolates. No coffee taste whatsoever. The only thing tgey make well is money since they're the only coffee place in the heart of Main Street. read more

Cute coffee shop. I ordered the avocado toast and peach smoothie. Toast was amazing and the smoothie was the best I've ever had. Not 5 stars because it doesn't fit my aesthetic and served the food with a lot of disposable plates. Not great for the environment. However, 10/10 would eat here again! read more

Very good americano and bran muffin. Relaxing and comfortable. I would make this place a regular if I lived here.

Rude rude rude! Went there over the 4th July weekend and the customer service was ridiculous. We tried to place an order and the guy arythe register didn't even say hello and to put salt on injury he looked at us and took the order of the Individual behind us. My husband and I walked out immediately. read more

Unfortunately, the coffee was terrible, which is why they get one star. If you put the word Java in the name of your establishment, your coffee had better be damn good. To be fair, we didn't try any of the food or alcohol, so perhaps the rest of what they sell is wonderful. But, They really should get their act in gear with the coffee. read more

This was a cozy little cafe, it kept true to the Western theme of Fredericksburg with it's wood heavy interior and beautiful murals. The coffee was good, and they had almond milk. So, that was great for me. Their breakfast tacos are build your own. So, you pick what goes in. They are actually really big tacos! They also have pastries and merchandise, but we stuck to coffee and tacos. I saw other complaints on wait or the tacos. Wait wasn't bad, as they were busy, and the tacos were better than I expected! read more

What a great place for coffee and relaxation. After shopping Main Street, you can come in here and order your caffeine made to order. If you're in a hurry, they have better than national brand coffee in urns to pour for yourself. I've only had breakfast here, but I can recommend the breakfast burritos. And the pastries are a great pick-me-up. Very helpful young employees, who give great answers to questions as only locals can. Add in free wi-fi and terrific people watching, and this becomes one of the gems of Fredericksburg. read more

Java Ranch is my favorite coffee place in Fredericksburg! Sarah Dishongh is the sweetest worker! She always has a smile on her face and does an amazing job making the drinks. Their caramel vanilla iced americano is my favorite along with their blueberry muffin! Definitely recommend this place read more

My friends & I were staying in Fredericksburg looking for a quick & hearty meal before we headed out to Enchanted Rock to do some hiking & take photographs when we wandered into the Java Ranch Espresso Bar & Cafe. We were immediately taken in by the signs in the window stating you could get "coffee, grub, hooch, & stuff". Hooch? Really? Well OK! The inside is all Texas. There are big leather couches, lots of wooden table & chairs, a plethora of TX memorabilia on the walls, counters & even in the bathroom, funny hand-painted signs (apparently "country cookin' makes you good lookin'!" Who knew?), shotgun shell Christmas lights hanging over the counter (you can buy a pack or 12 for yourself to spruce up your homestead), & the friendliest people behind the counter you could ever meet. Heck, one of the ladies behind the counter even tried to set us up with a cute cowboy in line! Now that's what I call service! I bellied up to the counter & placed my order of a potato, egg, & cheese breakfast taco, paid my $2, got my ticket & waited at the small wooden kitchen island around the corner from the order counter. As my friends & I waited for our orders (which were all made hot & SUPER fresh), we perused the little gift shop area & enjoyed going through cook books on gourmet meals made from Twinkies & 101 things to with yogurt. When the kind gentleman delivered our breakfast tacos to us, (which were quite large) we poured on a dash of the homemade salsa they come with, took one bite & immediately our eyes open extremely wide, we let out the biggest sigh, & made almost obscene yummy noises. Oh my good God in heaven, these were the BEST darned breakfast tacos we have ever eaten in our lives! These things should be called breakfast tacorgasms! The eggs were scrambled perfectly, the potatoes were wonderfully seasoned, & the salsa was the freshest & most flavorful I've had in a LONG time. We hadn't even finished chewing our first bites before my friend was up at the counter telling the staff how incredibly fantastic the food was. They were tickled pink & giggled at our food ecstasy. While I didn't sample the croissants, my 2 friends that did say they were equally as orgasmic as the tacos, & the price of everything couldn't be beat. We left Java Ranch with very full bellies & big smiles on our faces. We wished we were staying a few extra days so we could try out the rest of their goodies & of course, maybe sample a little hooch. If breakfast is an example of their quality & hospitality, I can't imagine being disappointed in anything else. So if you're ever in Fredericksburg, be sure to stop in at Java Ranch. You won't be disappointed. And who knows? You may end up with a date with a cute cowboy! read more

This is why I am giving the Java Ranch only 3 Stars. We heard that it was a place that had great coffee. When we got there at 8 am for breakfast and a cup off coffee They were out of Crescents for a breakfast sandwich, they were out of cinnamon rolls and we just had to settle for a breakfast taco. We could have gotten that anywhere. the coffee was good but they charged me for a late and not a coffee. Wow this was on a Tuesday morning. Not what I expected. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in Texas. I have never tried any of the food, so I can't speak to that. But their Caramel Frappe with whip tops even Starbuck's Caramel Frappe. read more

Coffee was nice and smooth. Service was great. Even though there was a line it moved rather quickly. Hit the spot for sure

Agree with the previous poster--coffee tastes watered down. Sorry, but I gave up drinking Sanka in college...

Teenagers behind the counter were aloof an unfriendly. My chai tasted like a small girl had made it at a tea party where all her stuffed animals held seats of honor. My girlfriend ordered a cappuccino which was 80 percent foam in a medium cup. They were completely out of pastries except for cookies at 12:30 pm. We were underwhelmed to say the least. The one positive was that the decor was cute. read more

Fantastic breakfast spot. Great coffee menu and station. Loved their muffins & iced lattes. Best breakfast croissant wiches! Super friendly service. Definitely, a must try while you're in Fburg, especially, for breakfast and/or coffee! read more

My hubby and I loved this place on our trip to Fredicksburg so much that we ended up visiting 3 times! The chai tea latte and vanilla latte were delicious. It was a nice way to relax and get a break from all the walking on Main Street. Very friendly employees and cute atmosphere. read more

When I got here, their coffee maker had caught on fire and their espresso machine was out. They recovered decently with a drip machine but didn't have a French Press, which is suspect in my eyes. Without a basic tool like a FP, I couldn't possibly give it four or five stars. read more

Friendly service, nice atmosphere, free WiFi, and great coffee. Worth a visit.

I just want to reiterate a previous reviewer. They offer croissant sandwich, but apparently don't order enough, because they were out today as well. Also, got attitude from a wait person, because I chose to sit at a table she wanted to put t-shirts on rather than sitting in front of a row of coolers. She then went behind the counter and complained to other staff, which I could see. BTW, she went to another table and spread out the shirts and there they remained. Coffee was not that great either! read more

Very friendly staff and yummy coffee! They had a huge selection of cool drinks and my mom even bought one of those cute signs that they sell. read more

The cafe has a great western open space and the staff is friendly . I got the iced latte with caramel and it was delicious !!

Cute place. Great stop for coffee but don't go here for sausage and eggs. You will be paying $7-$9 for a literal scoop of eggs with microwaved Kraft cheese and a piece of grocery deli ham. Probably same quality as McDonald's $3 breakfast biscuit which is just down the street. No offense java ranch but keep it to pastries and coffee or bring down your sausage and egg prices to the level of quality you're serving. We felt a little ripped off. read more

Cappuccino was over steamed. 15 minute wait for a breakfast taco. Taco was excellent. I like to support local businesses but this makes me long for the predictability of a chain. read more
