You can't use your Starbucks app/stars at this location, but you can pay with your Caesar's Reward points. We always stop here to pick up a coffee before we hit the road back home.

You're better off with protein from Noodle Bar or something, but the bagels are surprisingly good. And if you're not playing poker, then bagel away. Secret Tip: Only get fruit cup if you're there before noon. Otherwise, they're sitting there too long. This place is downstairs on the hotel side (opposed to casino side). You can sit by the river, which is nice and relaxing.

I've been coming to Qualla Java Cafe since probably 2016. I can honestly say after 10 years, I've never had a bad drink here. They have a bunch of drinks - all with pretty fun names. Again, I've never had a bad drink here so it's fun to just randomly pick one. The service is always really fast and I'm never really in their long. Sorry if my review isn't better - coffee shops are kind of hard for me to review because coffee doesn't really look good in picture form. Just drink it!

I've had their chai tea before and they were really good but I opted for an orange hibiscus lemonade. It wasn't too sweet and was very refreshing. They offer a variety of non-dairy milk alternatives too. There are some bakery items but I didn't see anything labeled gluten-free. They have restrooms available for customers in the back and many different seating areas. There is also a patio outside that overlooks a creek where you can sit as well.

I don't drink coffee, but JD does and has gotten numerous cups from here. I finally had a breakfast sandwich here during our last visit. You can customize it by selecting your bread, meats, eggs, cheese. I got egg and cheese on a croissant. It was good. Depending on the time you're eating in the food court, finding a table might be easy or hard. But even when it's busy, people eat fast as I'm sure like us, they can't wait to get back down to the casino!

Very generous with all the goodies (pecans and raisins) and lightly dressed. Michael was great and kept us well taken care of. We will definitely be back the next time we come through!!

It was beyond lunch time and I hadn't eaten at all, so I looked around as we drove and saw the sign for this place. I love a good deli sandwich so I asked my husband to pull in and let me run in. It was a Wednesday afternoon and after lunch, so there were only a few people inside. Upon entering, I went in a door that was at a dessert counter. There were few cupcakes and treats in the case, so I quickly went on past to find the counter to order a sandwich. The ladies at the counter were super friendly and took my order quickly. I chose a hot ham and cheese sandwich with bbq potato chips and a fountain drink. The order took about 7 or 8 minutes to be prepared and brought to me in a box to the table where I sat and waited. There was seating outside by the river/creek(?) I believe and then there was seating inside. It looks like it was once another restaurant or some other establishment taht they have transformed into this deli. Don't let the looks of the inside deter you, though! The food was phenomenal! My sandwich was so delicious! I have made note that if ever in the area again, I will be back!
