    Java the Cup opened recently in Wingate, right down the road from a Starbucks. I've been very excited to have a local coffee shop that isn't a chain to support. Well it has been a let-down to say the least. Their technique for espresso is bizarre. I am not sure that anyone employed has ever made espresso before. My normal order is a double cappuccino -- two shots of espresso topped by frothed milk. Easy, right? Most recently, the barista steamed my milk, poured it into the cup, and then pulled two shots and poured it on top of the milk! I've never been so confused by coffee. Their grind settings and tamp skills also need tuning. No one has tamped the espresso enough, resulting in watery, crema-less, bad extractions. Lastly, the milk technique I've seen here is "stick the wand in the milk and just wait until it's hot". No texturing, and everyone I've seen just kind of rocks the cup up and down while steaming. It makes a pretty bad cup of milk. All of this together makes coffee drinks that are just not good, unfortunately. Their brewed coffee is pretty good, the roasts have been quite well-balanced and fresh. I'd recommend this place for a quick brewed coffee or pre-packaged snack, but avoid the espresso.

    Java the Cup just opened in Wingate, and it is a breath of fresh air. I have been a student at Wingate for over two years now and this is a very welcome addition. They are serving up crepes, waffles, coffee, espresso drinks, and an assortment of smoothies and sodas to drink. They even have sandwiches, wraps, and salads too. The service is good and atmosphere is great. While the crepes and espresso still need to be improved, the waffles and house coffee, "java," are awesome! I have been in to the shop 3 times now and haven't had a negative experience. So far I have had the following: *Banana and Nutella crepe, which was good but the crepe was overcooked. 7/10 *Waffles, both with banana, strawberries, Nutella, and whipped cream: 10/10!! *mocha latte: pretty weak on both espresso and mocha flavor compared to many other places I've been. Came back recently with my friend and she got the mocha, and it was a similar experience. 5/10 "Java": strong, even-bodied coffee with good flavor. One time near closing they made a fresh pot for me because the one they had was there for a while, excellent service! 9.5/10! Definitely will continue coming here, I just hope they can maybe make the espresso stronger in their lattes! So far the fresh coffee, customer service, and atmosphere are what makes this place great

    Loved the atmosphere and the crape I ordered! Staff was friendly and cleared my plate when I was done. Perfect little local coffee shop.

It is super cute and clean! The staff were so nice! I ended up ordering both a smoothie and a chicken bacon wrap. They both were amazing! It was a nice suprise seeing sweet potatoe chips with the wrap and I love how packed with spinach the wrap was (be warned if you dont lile spinach but I loved it). The wrap ratio was done really well and the smoothie was sweet and delicious. If I need to stop for a quick healthy lunch in salisbury again I will definitely stop here!!

On a whim, after leaving Planet Fitness, I stopped at Juice Life. I wasn't hopeful, but I was really keeping my fingers crossed for a vegan option. Hello Juice Life! Wow! This avocado smash veggie wrap is the cat's meow! It's fresh and delicious and the lady working behind the cash register told me about several other vegan options they offer too. She ranted about BEET HUMMUS. I will be honest--I was NOT interested. She let me sample it and it's a winner! It's flavorful and smooth and no "tastes like dirt" beet flavor at all (OK, maybe I am the only one that thinks beets taste like dirt!). I plan on returning to Juice Life tomorrow...and the next day after that. You have outdone yourself, JUICE LIFE! Bravo!

There is a long coffee flag so that's when you know that you are in the correct place. The different name on the building through me off. It's very spacious inside with plenty of seating. We were greeted and given menus which we then found a high top table, sat down and looked it over. We decided on the Alyssa crepes and morning glory sandwich. Allysa crepe- I would have ordered another plate if we didn't have another 2 hr drive to go. Between the fluffy eggs and the combination of the ingredients with absolutely mouth watering. I asked for hot sauce and it was complete. I would drive out of my way to come back here again. Morning glory sandwich- I don't know who raised these chickens to give such a different taste to them, but they were raised right. These were definitely happy chickens. Hard to explain but this sandwich and those fluffy eggs will keep you wanting more. Everyone there is so sweet and I'm happy to have had the experience of such an excellent breakfast. This is a rare find and I will be revisiting again.
