    Coconut refresher
    Victoria K.

    This place is amazing. The owners and their kids are wonderful, the ambiance is so cool, the decor is modern-meets-cultural. Every drink or food item I've ever gotten here has been top notch. My favorites are the coconut refresher and the curry chicken croissant. Holy moly, delicious. Pictured is my half drunken refresher because I forgot to take a picture before I started guzzling it down. It's a really beautiful lavender/violet color with a pink flavor layer on the bottom. Beats Starbucks everytime. The croissants here are huge and the curry chicken is perfect - not spicy or overwhelming, just packed with flavor. Love this place! Highly recommend.

    Plenty of room to meet

    When drinking coffee becomes an aesthetic experience. Jebena Cafe in Waxhaw is the whole experience from fine Ethiopian coffee to ample room to sit and talk!

    I think this is one of the best bakeries you will find in NC. It is very unassuming and tucked away…read morebut they are making some of the best baked goods I have ever had. It is not a question. We got a few things: bagel bomb, cinnamon roll, brown sugar cookie, and donut. My only regret was not getting more things, like the amazing looking croissants. Bagel bomb was actually unreal. An everything bagel stuffed with an incredible shallot cream cheese. It was one of the best bfast items I have ever had. The cinnamon roll was insanely good. So soft, so moist, so delicious. The cookie was perfect. Texture was perfect, flavor was delicious. And the donut(how they did this I don't know) was also incredible. Better donut than most donut shops I've been to. One of the fluffiest, most perfectly textured donuts I've had. This place, simply put, is one of the best bakeries I've been to. The people were also incredibly nice. Please run.. don't walk.. to try this place! You will not be disappointed. Thanks!

    Finally got a chance to stop by here and I regret not visiting sooner…read more Pros: - charming and cozy space with seating both indoors and outdoors - nice assortment of baked goods and it sounds like they switch up their offerings regularly. The cruffin was delicious and well worth the calories - local family-owned business Cons: - it would be helpful to have signs and prices for the items. I imagine it would speed things up if the staff didn't have to answer those sorts of questions repeatedly. - the staff were helpful but not very warm. - the matcha latte was the worst I've had in recent memory. Watered down and bitter. Not sure if the person making it messed it up or their matcha quality is poor, but it was a waste of $6. Overall, I feel lucky we live close by and look forward to visiting again.

    Saturday afternoon south of everywhere and I can get a regular drip coffee? came across an outburst…read moreof modern life as I was running out of coffee and figured I should while I could so I did and got a cannoli along with... really would have been satisfied with open and today's coffee so even in the middle of pre-closing side work this was way way better. coffee was recent and good but needed a little reheat which meant blasting my traveler with the frother-steamy thing from the cappuccino-ator... and that was the absolute crazy thing for the month. SO. COOL!!! ...other than that it's a nice enough spot for a cup of goodness and a bite in what will soon be a sea of humanity but for now is still a stone's throw off :-) pleasant, helpful help, comfortable surroundings, and open on Saturday afternoon.

    Believe me when I say... this place has THE BEST Muffins. They are baked fresh, and chances are…read morewhen you walk in, they'll be putting some fresh pastries into the case. I've been visiting for the last 2 years, and recently, there seems to have been an ownership change. I assure you, they still serve up the same delicious high-qaulity baked goods. It's always an amazing customer experience and we end up picking up way too many pastries! The spinach pastry, as well as the strawberry and cheese are highly recommended. Flaky, crusty, perfection. If you appreciate baked goods made on site, throughout the day, definitely check out Java. I think going fresh makes all the difference and keeps me coming back for more.
