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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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 .

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.

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!!

Three of my joys ... coffee, cinnamon roll, and cycling

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

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

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. read more

Let me start with - I'm not a huge coffee gal, except postpartum so I'm not one to get something like an americano. My husband and I have been coming here a lot lately for him to work and I'm so so glad we have. I get a caramel frappe and he has gotten a mocha or peach smoothie. Each one has been wonderful and man are they FAST at making everything. My favorite food is the blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese. The cream cheese is whipped and has some bits of strawberry within. Bagels are toasted to perfection and I could eat a million, they're so good. The drive thru is awesome if you're on the run, but if you want a peaceful work spot or meeting place the inside is great for that. Big fan!! 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

When I think of Grecian tips I'm thinking of Greek MARINADED beef or pork strips (wish they specified on the menu). At least put a grain of salt and pepper on it.

I also ordered buffalo wings...tasted like they were cooked with zero love. Heated in an oven or microwave and DRENCHED/SWIMMING in buffalo sauce. Wings should be fried crispy and tossed in the sauce. If anyone think I'm exaggerating go there and order the Grecian tips and buffalo wings and tell me I'm not on point with my review.

We went to Palms Café last Saturday night about 45 minutes before they closed. When we went in,…read morethere was two other couples eating, but the restaurant had plenty of seating for their more busy hours. The menu had lots of options to choose from, but it wasn't overwhelming. Our food was delivered to us quickly. I was very impressed with their Greek salad and salmon. My daughter's got a hamburger and chicken nuggets. The fries were great, and they also had an array of homemade cakes. I really regret not getting one. Our waitress was great looked after us and answered all our questions. When I go back to Salisbury, I won't hesitate to come here again.

Inside, clean and tidy. The crew was busy doing their setup for the day - not much chatter at all. I was here for at least an hour before another customer stepped inside so it was quiet. And then when people did start arriving, the scraping chairs on the floor was annoying enough that it was time to go. There are plenty of seats and the power outlets are nearby. Wifi worked well and my Blonde Roast coffee was just fine. [Review 940 of 2024 - 3605 in North Carolina - 21969 overall]

My bride ordered the Salmon Sandwich ($17) and she commented that it was a great fresh piece of fish and really enjoyed it. I went with the Pesto Turkey Club ($13) and it was tasty. My recommendation is to add more turkey and raise the price. Service from our server (young man....didn't get his name) was prompt and very hospitable.

Food- skimpy and mediocre depending on if they're in a good mood or a bad mood. So anyway, yesterday was just awful and I'll never be back. Obviously I'd never recommend to anyone, unless you like civil abuse and overpriced, underserved, mediocre food and extremely rude employees coming off of their hangovers or head meds.

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!

My friend had a cinnamon crunch bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese, and said it was delicious! We ate every bite! It was also fast service! Four of us were able to place orders, eat, socialize, and get out in less than an hour. Super speedy! Minus one star because it is so smoky inside. They have a grill area where they cook, which is fine, but there is no hood/ventilation and so when they grill anything, the smoke just goes out into the restaurant. The four of us who ate there smelled like bacon smoke the entire afternoon. Will continue to eat from here, just maybe not inside until the ventilation sees an improvement.

Delicious coffee and pastries, great service, very personable owners! Definitely my favorite coffee place in Salisbury. The owners are always the ones serving you, so you get top quality service. They aren't just random employees like at most coffee shops, so they really care about their customers and want to give you a good experience and they will! I have never had a negative experience here. Love the regular coffee, lattes, specialty drinks, bagels, and especially the cupcakes, which are locally made and fresh. I go through the drive through on a regular basis, but the inside is super comfy and great for meetings or for getting some work done. I meet up with my girlfriends here for a chat, and I meet clients for business meetings here, too. read more

Hands down the BEST company / Customer service in the world ! I stop here daily because I work directly across the street . I work Monday through Friday and don't live in Salisbury , but I will drive to Salisbury just to get a coffee on Saturday. The coffee is unbeatable but the hospitality and genuine care that I receive from every single employee is unmatched. I am definitely a customer for life! read more
