Great place with wonderful customer service and the owners are the staff. They want you to return and are very accommodating. The food is great and they have veggie/vegan options. It is a great location to hang for any old reason. I try to get stop by as often as I can. read more

More than Java Cafe is a hidden gem. At least they were to me. I visited for a friend's birthday gathering, and didn't quite know what to expect outside of the glowing reviews that my friend gave about the brunch items. I had the Jerk Chicken & Egg, potatoes, and drip coffee. Everything was delicious, and I had plenty of food leftover for later. The owners were hilarious when they joked with me about my tolerance for spicy food. The Jerk Chicken Sandwich (wrapped in coco bread) is advertised as spicy, but it wasn't overwhelming to me. The service was timely, and everyone was kind. There's plenty of seating to choose from, and you can explore the other small businesses while you wait for your food. If you're looking for a small Black owned business to support, I highly recommend More than Java Cafe. The food is delicious and the service is on point. I will definitely return when I'm in the area. read more

Second time returning to More Than Java Cafe and they did not disappoint! The first time I visited they were at another another location and I enjoyed the curry chicken salad on a croissant. For three years I've been eager to visit again! I love their new location inside this wooden boutique mall! They have tons more seating to enjoy your meal with loads of natural lighting. Me and partner used the kiosk to order our Sunday brunch after church. I order Nana's Hot Cider (10/10) and the jerk chicken and Egg on a croissant (9/10) and he ordered the hot chocolate (9/10) and Belgian waffle and jerk chicken (10/10) that Belgian waffle was so so good! Tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in a waffle! The chicken is tender and seasoned well! They note its spicy but bearable in my opinion. Ronnie at the check helpful and he radiates positivity. The kind lady who made our hot beverages was so kind and attentive and ensured we enjoyed our meal and experience. Will be back for more! read more

This is some delicious grub!! What nice folx, too. We didn't want to carry leftovers around, so DD and I shared a BLT with egg, over medium. It was good we did because it was huge! SIL had jerk chicken & waffle, which he said was excellent. I tasted some chicken and it was truly the best jerk I've had in years. Perfect spice & flavor, yum. Both he & DD thought the waffle was great, too. I had good ol' decaf & it was rich & hearty. The restaurant is in a mini mall, with some really nice reserved indoor seating. It's not far from DGD's gymnastics location, so I will be returning! read more

This place is black owned, laid back cafe vibes and I really am excited to come back soon! Especially love supporting black owned! read more

More Than Java Cafe is a true gem! It's a must try. Everything about this establishment is two thumbs up. This was my first time visiting and will certainly not be my last. It's the perfect spot for delicious food, great service, and a relaxing environment. There are so many great options on the menu. I went with the jerk chicken breakfast sandwich on a croissant (no egg). Wow!!! This was one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches. I will say it does have a kick as jerk should. Loved it! The staff were super friendly and helpful. This place is a winner. read more

I've been hearing about this place, and since it's Black-owned, I decided to give it a try after a long day of grocery and household shopping, without eating. I ordered the jerk chicken with French toast. You order from a tablet they have up front; however, a man did greet me and answered any questions I had while ordering, which was a huge plus. The ambiance and space are beautiful, inviting, and serene. If I didn't have groceries in my car, I most definitely would've chosen to eat inside, which is why I'm going back. Now, about the food: at first glance, the jerk chicken looked questionable, it was a bit watery. However, it was good and not too spicy. The French toast was delicious as well. I didn't care too much for the smoothie I ordered; I felt like it needed more sweetness. Overall, this is a great place, and I'll most definitely be back. read more

Hey friends! I've been a regular here since their location on Main Street! Genuinely one of my favorite businesses in the area! More Than Java is a Caribbean based cafe offering classic and unique food and drinks as well as plenty vegan options. I went for my usual this time. A egg and cheese breakfast on coco bread. It was delicious as always. Such a nice Island touch to an American staple breakfast item. I ordered a side a breakfast potatoes as well. They were seasoned well, but I would have preferred more of a crisp. To drink, I had a dragonfruit lemonade. Omg, so delicious and refreshing. Their coco bread and house-made beverages are the star of the show! They're consistently amazing. Customer service is consistently beyond amazing. The owners are very warm and welcoming. The restaurant has the perfect lounge atmosphere. Plenty of couches and tables to dine, work, chat with friends! Prices are average. Friendly tip to park in the "Little Lot" and walk towards Charity's First Picks to access this restaurant easily. Hope you enjoy! With love, The Picky Pescatarian read more

This place is over 40 minutes from me and I will take that drive every time!! The staff is super friendly and provides suggestions. The jerk chicken and egg on COCO BREAD?! Babyyyy it was so good! And they don't skimp on the jerk chicken. I also had a Hibiscus Lemonade which was fantastic. It is located in the middle of a shopping center so things can get a little loud. But I sat in the cafe area and waited which was so nice. Lots of sunlight. read more

Come on over and visit Ms. Tabitha and the gang. Friendly faces, flavored coffees, delicious treats both sweet and vegan options. A little bit of everything. Make sure you try a sample of Nana's Apple Cider, so perfect for the winter. I enjoyed mixing coffee flavors, vanilla with caramel. What a delicious treat. Coffee served hot and just how you like it.

Nom, nom, nom! I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I first tasted their food several years ago, at the time they were still located on Main Street in Laurel. I'm pretty sure my first meal there was French toast and jerk chicken. The owners are extremely personable and consistently produce amazing goodies, which keeps me coming back. My absolute favorites are the oatmeal raisin cookies and the apple cranberry muffins, blame my sweet tooth Beyond their homemade sweets, the jerk chicken breakfast sandwich is amazing, whether on coco bread or inside a wrap, as I've had both. If you're on the fence about trying them, trust me, you won't be disappointed. And its a black owned business read more

I stopped by Savage Mill and found this small breakfast area and it was great. I really loved my jerk chicken and cheese sandwich. It was delightful with the right kick of spice near the end of the bite. When you order the jerk chicken I would recommend paying extra for the coco bread and pepper jack cheese. Having not been in Savage Mill for a while, I wonder how much I missed out by not coming here earlier. Its really a solid breakfast place with a few menu items, ranging from omelettes, waffles and more. The portions are great, really feel full after ordering one item. Not to mention the staff. They are the nicest folks ever, they came by asked if everything was alright, provided extra sauces and ketchup when asked for and even were extremely patient with us as we decided what we wanted to order. The seating is great, its on the side and when I visited, no one else was sitting, so there was plenty for us. Its right next to this pottery studio, so we were watching in on this pottery class while enjoying our meal. I think there is outdoor seating but I am not sure about that, but overall the vibes are great. Sometimes finding parking at the mill can be a bit hard so keep that in mind. There are also plenty of desserts at this place and don't sleep on them. We tried the key lime pie and it was great. Definitely plan on coming back here for that sandwich. Was a great place, highly recommend. read more

I was randomly in the area and stepped into Savage Mills. I thought this was just a simple cafe, but was surprised with the Caribbean options they had. 1) Seating and ambience was pretty good. I was not expecting it. They had 2 seats near the wall with outlets for patrons to use. 2) Service was also pretty good. I got a Jerk Chicken and Egg Sandwich with Cocoa Bread and a Hibiscus lemonade. read more

I absolutely love this place. This is a black owned business that serves fresh food and juice. I usually get the curry chicken wrap but decided to get the jerk chicken wrap. I really enjoyed it. The staff is so wonderful and welcoming. The original location was in Laurel. I think this location is great. It's located in the savage mill mall. You can shop and grab a bite to eat. My favorite thing about this place is the fresh pressed juices. I've had several and all of them are great. read more

We had no idea this gem was tucked away in the little neighborhood shopping mall! The place is a mix of deli and event venue. This family business has great service, delicious food and a wonderful location for small or large parties and celebrations!

We not only plan to come back, but we will surely tell our friends to visit and consider having them host an event for them! We wish them so much success! read more

You need to get the jerk chicken with egg and pepper jack cheese on coco bread with seasoning and an avocado. Trust me. I have also done their $22 Sunday brunch and it's so much food that I took some of it To Go and finished it for lunch and then dinner. Their potatoes are perfectly seasoned too. I also really like their bagels w/ bacon, egg and cheese. I seriously wait until Saturday or Sunday every week for the past month and go here for my one "eating out" day every week. The coffee is amazing here too. I haven't tried the sweets, yet, but I'm tempted every time. read more

Located in historic Laurel, I popped in here after completing another errand. The parking appears to be predominantly street parking, however I did see what appears to be a public lot nearby. This is pretty much a carry out spot, I vaguely remember some tables. This was my first time here and the gentleman behind the counter was very kind and helpful. I asked what was pretty popular and he suggested the jerk chicken, egg and cheese. There was another customer in there at the time who indicated the jerk chicken, egg and cheese was good but very spicy. So I got the jerk chicken, egg and cheese along with a cold pressed juice. The jerk chicken in my opinion was not as spicy as the other customer hyped it up to be. However, I enjoy spicy foods so I acknowledge my spice tolerance is probably a little higher all things considered. While not that spicy to me, it was indeed delicious. The coco bread it comes on was so soft and the chicken tasted well seasoned. The cold pressed juice was so good I forgot to take a picture of it! I think it had ginger and hibiscus. I'm only sad I missed out on the banana pudding. That seems to be a hit there as well. I'll certainly be back to try the other juices, another sandwich and hopefully snatch up some banana pudding. Enjoy!! read more

More than Java is located on Main Street in a pretty busy area. There's street parking available and I'm happy I was able to find a spot immediately on a Friday during lunchtime. I have been wanting to try this restaurant since I heard about the jerk chicken, egg and cheese sandwich on coco bread. Like, what? Everything about that sounds amazing and it truly was. I think my eyes rolled back on that first bite. I also ordered a croissant for my daughter, a lemon muffin, and two lemonades: pineapple mango and hibiscus. The price was pretty good too. Everything I tried was amazing. The sandwich had a nice kick to it and wasn't too spicy. The bread was hot and soft. The lemonade was delicious and not too sweet but full of flavor. The muffin was still moist hours later. I'm so glad I finally got a chance to try them out because everything was great. The customer service was exceptional and the gentleman behind the counter was really friendly. I also loved the music playing. I can't wait to go back to try more items. Plus, they have a section for health items like sea moss, burdock root and much more for sale. read more

Nice little cafe in Savage Mill. I had the jerk chicken salad wrap, which was a big portion and tasty. Service was fine - you order at the counter and wait for them to text you when your food is ready. The wait wasn't too long. There's an area nearby with tables where customers can eat. Overall I nice place for brunch/lunch in Savage Mill. I would stop by again to try one of the breakfast options next time. read more

I ordered the vegan breakfast sandwich & grits (I asked them to make them vegan by adding vegan butter and vegan cheese) they were more than willing to accommodate me. I love my experience, the customer service was great, food was great and vibes were great. I have not felt this good about a place in a while. Mr.Ronny the order I believe along with his wife made sure you felt comfortable and welcomed, he remembered everyone orders, served everyone with a smile. I am definitely will be coming, as a vegan it's hard sometimes to find places that will accommodate me and are tasty! They have great food andddd a whole vegan menu. Can't wait to come back! read more

I found this place as I was new to the immediate area and wanted to find some juice bars/plant based-ish options. And, this popped up and I had to try. My first visit there, the staff were very friendly and personable. It's a cute little spot with some seating outdoors, weather permitting. It smelled really good from whatever was being baked/cooked. I've tried their smoothies, pressed juices and a couple of their vegan food items. The vegan sausage egg & cheese biscuit is pretty good. Parking can be tricky but you can also call ahead so there is a quick pick up. I'm looking forward to trying more items and more visits here in the future. Do give a try! read more

One of my closest friends got married in Savage Mill... I know I had a one-tracked mind and was focusing on doing my part in the wedding, but did I seriously miss this place back then?! My friend brought me here for lunch and we had a fantastic time. Super patient and friendly staff told us we could order with him or on the big kiosk in front of us. My buddy did all the ordering... I hadn't eaten, and I insisted on the jerk chicken & waffles. I INSISTED. And wow was it worth it. That was the best waffle I have had in a long time. I don't know what goes into that batter... but wow. Chicken was falling off the bone too! And the jerk flavor was great! My Jamaican side of the family would totally approve. I also got a Green Machine smoothie, which was really sweet... and I had to spoon some out of the cup towards the end... but otherwise fine. Next time I would ask to be less sweetened, if possible. But seriously, check out this place. It's fantastic. read more

Glad to finally visit after passing by it for so many months! Their hours are very limited, but I was able to stop by on Saturday morning. I ordered the island paradise smoothie and added kale for no additional cost. It was really good! I only added kale to add some green and extra nutrients to my smoothie, and it was still a tasty smoothie. The cashier was very friendly, and I didn't have to wait for a long time for my smoothie. Definitely a good experience and will visit more often. read more

Visited this place while it was on Main St., the initial impression was that they were under a renovation or a move because the storefront was messy and cluttered, but food was decent. Then when they moved to the Savage Mill I was excited since they were closer to me. Sad to say the service and the food will keep me from coming back. They do a lot of events in the rental space behind them and it seems to keep them busy enough to not be able to attend other customers, which is a shame. Coffee was scrambled together in a rush and the croissant felt like it was from Costco. Which was made worse by the fact that we had to wait over 15 minutes from such a simple order and there was 1 person running back and forth between the event and the store. Disappointing experience but the other two coffee places in the Mill, Roggenart and Brewing Good Coffee are more worth your time if you're there! read more

First I must apologize for not taking pictures of our wrap and BLT. They were too good and we were too hungry. Finding a small Mom & Pop shop on Main St is always a good thing. The customer service is outstanding. I would come here just to say hi and get a smile back from everyone behind the counter. We ordered a BLT on wheat and a Curry Chicken Salad Wrap. My Wife's Curry Chicken Salad Wrap was on point. She did the flavor was good and the chicken was cooked well. She would definitely get it again. The Wrap was fresh as well. My BLT was hitting. I could have used more mayo but that is just because I love mayo more than the average person. The bacon was flavorful but not too salty and cooked just right. The lettuce and tomato were fresh and the bread was really good and hearty. I found out about the Coco bread after my order was prepared, I would have loved to try it on that because I love, love, love Coco bread and can eat it anyway. Their Coco bread was so good. I ate it plain. On a breakfast sandwich it would be amazing! We both got a freshly made tea. My Wife got the Nana's Ginger Peach and I got the Nana's Ginger Mint. Both had amazing flavor and tasted fresh. A little sweet for our tastes straight so we needed to water it down, but if you like real down home "sweet tea" then you will enjoy them straight with no chaser :-) Overall 5 star experience from start to finish. They will even send you a text when your order is ready. I love this spot and look forward to many more taste adventures for our pallete's. read more

I learned just today that I work near More Than Java. I have heard great things about the cafe, so I decided to stop by and give them a try. I was greeted by the friendliest lady who welcomed me and took my order gleefully. I ordered the jerk chicken and waffles. I was surprised when I got back to my office and opened my bag. I've never had chicken and waffles with drumsticks before and I'm not really a fan of dark meat. I was also surprised at how wet the chicken was. I guess I was expecting wings or some tenderloins. The flavor of the chicken wasn't horrible, but I opted not to eat it with my waffle. The waffle on the other hand was quite tasty. It had a slight cinnamon taste that was overwhelming. It was a decent size as well, so it filled me up. I plan on visiting the cafe again to try something else. I definitely plan on getting a smoothies or a cup of Joe during my next visit. Stay tuned for the follow-up review! read more

I was first exposed to this local black owned business several years ago when my former hair stylist was hosting an event here (a tea party). Shame on me for not returning since then. I had sampled some of their teas and wine ice-cream (yes, that's a thing). I wasn't as familiar with this part of Laurel - it's located in the historic section of Laurel. Parking on Main Street could be a bit tricky, but side street parking is available as well. During this time, their hours are limited, and only for take out and delivery. I stopped by earlier this morning and chatted with the guy I believe is the co-owner. Very friendly and I love seeing family owned businesses! I ordered a chai latte to go - it was delicious. I'll be back sooner than later to try some other drinks and food (jerk chicken and waffles sounds yummy). Their name speaks for itself - it's much more than just coffee. They have salads, desserts, vegan options!! There's another location in Bethesda, but it's currently closed so this is the only one that's in operation! Definitely add this place to your list and check them out. Feel free to call in your order and it'll be ready for pickup. Delivery is also an option. read more

It really feels amazing to be able to support a black owned business! With everything going on with Starbucks, I decided it was time for a change. I am so glad that I was able to find More Than Java Café online. This is a family owned business on Main Street in Laurel, Maryland. It was very easy to find and the team here is super friendly with amazing, top notch customer service! Now to my review of my coffee and food order. I ordered a Caramel Macchiato with almond milk. Even though this beverage isn't on the menu, they were very accommodating and made it anyway! Not only did they make it, but it tasted better than Starbucks and Dunkin in my opinion! That's not an exaggeration! It really honestly tasted better! I also ordered a Turkey bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on wheat. The sandwich was hearty and tasted good too. Overall I enjoyed the experience! More Than Java Café has 2 locations in the Maryland area. They have a Laurel location and a Bethesda location as well. I'm in both areas pretty regularly so I'll be stopping by more often for sure. Thank you to the team at More Than Java Café for the amazing food, coffee and customer service! I'll be back! read more

Love the jerk chicken on coco bread and the lemonade so good! Customer service is always on point. This is one of my favorite spots.

Customer service is 5 stars but the food ugh. That jerk chicken breakfast sandwich tastes like boiled chicken with some walkerswood jerk paste throw on top. The coco bread was super soft though. The egg is not scrambled. It's a fried egg with the boiled chicken in the middle. read more

I'll keep it short and sweet...fresh and tasty food (black bean avocado wrap), excellent coffee that's made with care (Amanda, you're amazing), various sweets (they have vegan options too!), and a pleasant environment that's perfect for a casual breakfast or lunch (with or without other people). I love coming here with a book to relax, and they also host special events to introduce different artists. Their work adorns the walls, which is something I find truly admirable. It's easy to find a local Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts for your coffee fix, but it's another to frequent an establishment that cares about community. It literally feels like stepping into another world when you're inside, which says a lot seeing as how the space itself isn't even large. I've been coming since it opened, and will continue to show support because aside from being an excellent cafe, it's also family-owned! read more
