Koco-Java is a quaint little coffee shop in the heart of downtown Salisbury. Whether you're looking for a quick coffee and pastry, or a spot to catch up with friends and watch life cruise by, this spot is a great place to sit and sip. Their drive-thru has a constant loop of cars and their parking is limited to about 15 or so spots. If you're looking to plug in and work, try to snag one of the high top tables along the wall, otherwise, outlets are limited. They have a a variety of different roasts but I was very concerned with the lack of a roasting date posted on each bag. There's no way of telling whether those coffee beans lined across the shelves are stale or fresh. The coffee bags are very affordable at about $15 per but again, you could be buying stale coffee beans. I ordered a latte with no flavors hoping to taste the coffee but it was overpowered by the excessive amount of milk. I basically drank milk with a slight hint of coffee. Seemingly, this place focuses more on trendy/viral flavors than the coffee itself which is great for their clientele! Not only are their specialty flavors and blended drinks on their regular menu but there was also a monthly drink special board at the front that included drinks like Tiramisu Latte and Gingerbread Oat. They're so busy in here that they don't collect your name, they just call out the drinks. I ordered a cheese danish that was just left at the counter without my knowledge. To my pleasant surprise, it was warmed up and was still warm when I finally got it. Another woman was also just waiting for her blueberry muffin but with 2 bags just sitting on the counter, we had to flag someone down to check the bags for us. Overall, I would still recommend this place unless any of the things mentioned are your pet peeves.
Loved it! To start, the parking lot is a decent size. You can also park along the street if it gets full. They offer a warm, cozy, and inviting atmosphere. The music was light (which I like so it's not overwhelming), and the variety was good. The dining area was clean and comfortable. The shop offers several seating options including a small patio, comfy armchairs, semi-booths, and high top tables. The service was great. You can tell the baristas are locals who care about and build relationships with their patrons. During my very brief wait, I observed them greeting everyone like an old friend. One staff member greeted a customer by name and correctly prepped his drink before the he ordered. It gives all the "close community" vibes. I tried the basic Chai Tea Latte and a bagel with cream cheese. Both were delicious. The bagel was especially surprising. It was the perfect blend of crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. And the blueberry flavor! I wish I lived closer. This would absolutely be my spot!
We stopped by koco Java during a food crawl day in Salisbury over the summer and it didn't even feel like we were in Salisbury. The interior was a sleek, bohemian style with lots of space for patrons. They had a huge menu full of items plus seasonal specials prepared hot, iced, or frozen so there's options for every kind of coffee drinker. They also have a gigantic casing full of pastries to go with their coffees. As if that wasn't enough, they have a whole section full of merch ranging from coffee mugs to tumblers with their logo. Next time I'm in the Salisbury area I'm definitely making Koco Java my stop for coffee!
The blackberry latte was a special and it was one of the best coffees I've ever had, hands down. It was sweet without being too sweet and man oh man, that cold foam really put it over the top. We started our Salisbury food tour at koco Java and this was the perfect spot. It's so cute inside and their drinks are delicious. They have some good looking frappes as well!

This was INCREDIBLE coffee. Absolutely a ton of flavor. I got their pumpkin fall flavor which was packed with different spices. They had a lot of different fall flavors and made sure they actually tasted like what you were ordering. The staff was very friendly and we got our coffee very fast. They have ample inside seating and it was very clean.
Best latte ever. I had a latte(hot) with oat Mike. Really nice place to have a cup of coffee and rest. The service was so great. The sisters at the front desk were very friendly and inviting. Koco Java also provides a nice and cozy atmosphere and the music is light and nice.
I really enjoyed this cozy spot in Salisbury! It's a nice open space and I enjoyed the latte I got. They have a lot of different flavors available and I ordered a cookie butter latte. The service was really great, staff very kind. Highly recommend!
During a meeting in downtown Salisbury, a colleague recommended we walk to Koko Java during a break for some coffee. This unassuming coffee shop is warm, inviting, and lovely inside. The staff was friendly. With a few food options, multiple hot and cold choices of coffee and tea, and ample seating, the establishment was really a gem. The coffee was fantastic and inexpensive. I wish I had purchased a bag to go. I'll definitely be back.
We quickly looked up a coffee place near by and we found this place and I have no regrets... best coffee ever honestly. Great service and a delicious taste to every thing .
I really like Koco Java and they have fast service which I was impressed with! Fastest place in town-or even compared to Charlotte. They have a huge variety of drinks to choose from. My only complaint, which is minor, is that everything is so sweet! All the lattes, that is. Even when I ask for less sweet, it's sometimes too much. Not a huge deal if you look at the friendly and fast service. Everyone that works here is VERY nice and helpful. I appreciate all of their hard work. They have small breakfast items and also smoothies. The smoothies have a great price point and I'd love to try them sometime. I will most certainly be back!!
First timer here. Visiting from California Not being a local, I asked Eric, the owner of the Skinny Wheels Bike Shop, where I could find coffee and he told me this place was "my jam" so I walked the 3-4 blocks from his shop to Koco Java to check it out Glad I did. Great coffee. Great prices. Great people. My only regret? I'd just eaten breakfast and even though the pastries looked amazing, I had to pass. I'm hoping to get another shot at them before I head home, UPDATE: Today is Monday-two days later. Enjoying a bike ride of several hours exploring around this beautiful town. Decided to stop back by cuz I had to try that cinnamon bun I'd seen... Wow! Is this a great find. They purchase them at a nearby Amish market and they are amazing. Coffee is way hot; just like I like it and this cinnamon roll to a great complement. Only bad news? Leave for home in California tomorrow

This coffee shop gives you small town vibes from a Hallmark movie. Lots of outlets. Delicious tea options. I had the Iced African tea and it was amazing. They put the right amount of sugar and honey. My cheese danish was warmed to the perfect temperature. My mother in law had a hot hibiscus tea and cream cheese bagel. Limited parking but reasonable prices. read more
Great coffee shop in the smallish town of Salisbury. I was in town for work and discovered this place on day one. I literally went there every day I was there. I had the teddy best graham cracker iced latte. Cinnamon, honey and graham crackers. The staff were really friendly, service was fast and prices were reasonable. I on,y rich I had more time to actually sit in the coffee shop and relax. read more

After reading all the positive reviews, we stopped here for coffee on our way to Charlotte. It's definitely popular, however, the morning line moves quickly. We ordered seasonal coffee and matcha tea. We enjoyed them, especially the fall specials like the pumpkin spice latte. Along with drinks, they sell bagels and pastries. Overall a positive experience and we would return! read more

Best cafe in Salisbury, and service and quality is better the Starbucks. It is a spacious cafe with lots of comfy seating! It's quite enough to study, or a nice little cafe to catch up with friends while having your kiddos with you! It also has a drive threw window and they are always very quick! The quality of the coffee/expresso is the best. I gave up being a loyal Starbucks goer when I found this place! The employees are always sweet and greet you with a smile. I absolutely love it! They only offer muffins, scones and baked goods not a wide food selection but still a great place to get your coffee! read more
