    a car parked on the side of the road
    Bob A.

    We were looking for a new coffee place to try in our area and found Kava about 30 minutes away. Decided to take a chance on a rainy day with, as it turns out, mixed results. The place has a drive-thru section, but we opted for large seating area inside which has a charming and warm interior. The menu is extensive, and even Kosher. I ordered a salmon sandwich which was served on sourdough bread that was warm and absolutely delicious. My cappuccino, cookie and cheesecake were, unfortunately, under par. The drink lacked foam, the large cookie was dry, and the cheesecake was served in a cafeteria style plastic box rather than on a plate which made it less appealing. The biggest issue though was the silverware, which was, unfortunately, dirty. We opted for plastic forks, but even there we didn't feel the warm and fuzzies because they were unwrapped and touched by, I am sure, lots of hands as they were picking their own. Kava should at least serve those the way they do in other take out places, prepackaged and wrapped in some clear plastic. What I appreciated the most was the host who was extremely warm and helpful in getting us the order and making us feel welcome. Clearly this is a popular place given it was booked with wall to wall people, but Kava should make minor improvements which would certainly elevate their rating. Looking forward to coming back to a slightly better experience.

    Bathroom dirty in the morning, had to open toilet paper, soap dish had dust on it at 10am. cashier unenthused, not familiar with menu items. Food not flavorful. Guest has pancakes, waffles, salads, eggs, wraps and we had the company of unwelcomed flies. 49.00 for three coffees n breakfast meal.

    The place was clean and neat in the people are very friendly. The food seem pretty decent. We did have to wait a long time though for our food and then they lost our food. And on top of that they never called us to pick up our food while we were sitting right in front of the counter.

    Finally got the chance to try this place. Very cute and rustic vibe inside with plenty of space to sit and stay a while. We got a breakfast burrito, apple crepe, and a toasted almond latte. The burrito is highly overpriced for what you get. Basically just a tortilla with some egg, a few pieces of potato, and what tasted like very little salsa. The crepe was pretty good and looked delicious. The latte was great, not too sweet. The guy who took our order was less than friendly. He never even smiled and barely made eye contact. When my coffee was made as a hot latte instead of the iced that I ordered, the guy corrected me and said no you ordered that and turned away. We did not feel welcome here at all. All that being said, I would return but I would pass on the food and just grab a coffee. Make sure you emphasize if you want it hot or iced.

They had a special matcha for a limited time called the Applejacks matcha, so I ordered that. I had them take off the white chocolate and do oat milk because I'm vegan. I absolutely loved it. It was so delicious and flavorful, and it was the best flavored matcha I had had in a long time. I do love regular, traditional matcha with no flavoring, so I'm not talking about that. I'm just talking about a flavored matcha that was so good. After a couple of weeks, I went to the Manalapan location and had the same matcha. While it was not as good as the Brick one, I didn't really hold that against them. Then a couple of weeks later, I went back to the Brick location and they told me they didn't have matcha because they ran out. They said their customers who really love matcha were not happy about it either, and that they didn't know when they were going to get it back in. That's why I took away one star. They are a business and should make an effort to always have matcha available. Matcha not being available one day is one thing, but not having it and not knowing when it's coming back is another thing. I just don't think that's acceptable. Besides that, this place is really good. Their drinks seem really creative. I've mostly only had the matcha because I love matcha. It also seems like a really nice place to sit and study, and it always seems clean. The day they didn't have the matcha, I got a chai tea instead and it wasn't that great, so I know not to get the chai again. Overall, I do like California Cold Co. a lot and I hope the whole matcha thing doesn't happen again. It seems like a really good, solid place.

I ordered the Mom Burger, which is a Swiss burger topped with mushrooms on a brioche bun. It also came with a good portion of fries and a side of pickles. The burger itself was pretty solid -- good flavor and a satisfying size. At $16, the portion felt fair considering the amount of fries you get with it. One thing I noticed was an additional charge for sauces. I asked about it, and they explained that all their sauces are made in-house, which is why they charge $1 per sauce. Honestly, that makes sense when they're homemade. Now the star of the show for me was actually the drink. After looking over the menu a bit more, I decided to try the LA Metro coffee drink with almond milk. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but for $5.99, I have to say it was really good. Definitely something I'd order again. I also want to mention the customer service. The girl working at the counter was extremely nice -- probably some of the best customer service I've had in a while. She didn't rush anything, answered my questions, and was very professional and friendly. I asked about the specials, the cakes they offer, and even whether they were doing a St. Patrick's Day platter, which they are. Overall, it was a really good experience. Good food, great drink, and excellent customer service. I'd definitely recommend stopping by Taylor Sam's if you're in the area.
