This place is cutsie! Waking into the bar it's a light vibe very conversational and home-like feel. The decor is set as a tropical kitchen. Reminds me of the Road-stop Cafes in the Caribbean. The plus is the Spanish Language music playing. There is a full coffee menu and the prices are all reasonable. I ordered my fave whenever I see it on a menu it's exciting - it's the cafe colada or the Cuban Coffee. I have to admit their serving was bitter and really strong. Luckily there was brown sugar on the table for me to lighten the taste. Their pastry options are unique comparing to other coffee spots. The chicken empanadas were good enough to remind me of a Jamaican beef patty. The service is friendly. The barista is smiling and making everything feel like home. read more

Not alot of coffee or food options. I wanted to get the empanada but they were already sold out at 10am. The barista was really nice. They didn't have a lot of options for drinks so she asked me what I usually like to order, and she made me something that was pretty decent. Nice decor too, but not sure if I would return due to limited options. read more

We went to Tiki Java Jax for a quick snack, and it was amazing! We got the new January drinks; crème brûlée honey matcha latte and crème brûlée latte. I enjoyed both drinks, especially the latte (I'm not a coffee drinker and this one tasted very good). The lady that helped us was so sweet and helped us out a lot. The decor of the cafe is very aesthetic appealing, it has some tropical vibes, hence the restaurant's name. We saw people coming in to do work, so it's probably a popular remote work spot. But the place is comfortable to do work or relax. read more

Tiki Coffee -- After Thoughts Continuing my "JAX COFFEE CRAWL 2025" -- Stop 6 of 10! Visited after work around 12 PM and immediately loved the relaxed, island-inspired décor -- tropical vibes all around! The space offers a variety of seating options perfect for meetings, studying, or simply unwinding, from cozy tables to bar-style seating. The shop was clean, inviting, and already bustling with customers. Despite only one barista managing the counter, my drink arrived within an acceptable time, for me. Selection: Tiramisu Latte (Hot, regular size with oat milk -- no size options offered) The latte had a smooth, clean finish with no bitter or burnt aftertaste. However, I couldn't quite pick up the distinct tiramisu flavor -- more of a mild mocha latte with a light mascarpone note. The temperature could have been a touch hotter, but not a dealbreaker. Overall, still a pleasant and enjoyable cup. Glad I returned here as part of my 2025 Coffee Crawl to see the new seasonal offerings and refreshed atmosphere. A solid stop for those chasing laid-back island vibes and good java. of 5 (3 of 5) read more

Such a cute place! They only had 1 girl working behind the counter. Not good. The drinks and food came out soooo late. It was packed at 11am. They need two people at least working behind the counter. Keep that in mind you're gonna have a wait on a Sunday morning. Drink was expensive. Like always. It was ok. Just a cute atmosphere. read more

This was my first visit, and it definitely won't be my last. The decor and furniture create a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for enjoying your coffee and unwinding for a while. Noelle was our barista, and she did an outstanding job. She was very helpful throughout our visit. We started with the Vanilla Cold Brew, which I would rate 4/5. It wasn't too sweet, and you have the option to add flavored foam if you like. We chose the vanilla foam, and there are other milk options available. For my drink, I tried the Strawberry Matcha, and I absolutely loved it--5/5. It was my first time trying this specific drink anywhere, and it had the perfect balance of matcha and strawberry flavor. We also had the Guava Cheese Pastry, which I would rate 4.5/5. It was very flaky and had a good amount of filling without being overly sweet. The Pollo Empanada was also really good, rated at 4/5. It wasn't too spicy and had great flavor. The sauce on the side enhanced it even more. Lastly, we tried the Bombón, which was a standout--5/5. The barista informed us that this coffee is their specialty. It's made with equal parts espresso and condensed milk, and I couldn't resist adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. As someone who isn't typically a coffee drinker, I found it to be absolutely delicious. read more

Such a fun and cool coffee shop! If it weren't for our local coffee crawl then I wouldn't have known about Tiki Jax and they are so close to our home! I really loved this spot from the various flavors and food options they had! I ordered their tiramisu coffee which was awesome! Full of flavor! Their chicken empanada was filling and delicious! Great customer care and an all around fun experience! I will definitely add this to our list of favorite shops! read more

Very cute tiki vibe. Has a great lounge area making you feel at home. There is also additional seating at the bar and a couple of tables with chairs. They have a shelf full of books and games you keep entertained. Employee was quick and friendly while taking my order. I ordered the tiramisu latte hot and a pistachio crossiant. The flavor of the latte was delicious but the temperature was more like room temperature. I saw the employee make the espresso but I believe the milk was still cold when poured which is why temperature of latte was off. The crossiant was nice and crunchy with a pistachio mousse like filling. read more

They know my order by heart and do a great job of making it! They are very friendly and I'm always glad to give them business!

This was such a wonderful tiki coffee house vibe. I loved it. Service was so warm and welcoming. I thought the employee was the owner. I think that says a lot because that's the kind of people you want devoted to your business. I had the toasted coconut latte and it was 10/10 delicious! I hope to be back. read more

Bad service! Sat at bar area and was skipped 4x despite being the first people to sit down took around 30 mins to even be acknowledged. Stayed for around an hour and saw many others be skipped and ignored in line and many complaints and mad costumers because of this. The coffee was good but wouldn't recommend or come back. read more

Overall really liked it-- my Bananas For You latte was amazing! The pistachio pastry was frozen in the middle. There was also only one guy working and it was crowded so very slow. But I did like the vibe and the latte was great. The guy was super friendly. I would go back! read more

Stopped in on the way to a doctors appointment bear by. Super cute inside with a tki theme. Their drinks also have a tiki theme as well. The girl working the counter was very helpful with explai ing the menu and showing me all the syrup options. I ordered a vanilla latte to go. The large was $6 which is a great deal these days. I have paid the same price for a small and not that great of quality. My latte was not too sweet which I love. Sometimes there can be too much syrup added. It was well balanced with syrup, coffee, and milk. I want to come back to try other coffee options AND their pasteries! I would recommend this quaint little coffee shop. Check it out if your near Bowden! read more

Great prices, great selection, amazing coffee. One person working, but she moved quickly and was very nice. Impromptu stop and explored a great little coffee shop with Cuban coffee. Coffee- Iced coconut and an Island Spice hot. Both delicious and not too sweet. Spicy had good flavor and a nice kick without being overpowered. Also enjoyed chicken and beef empanadas, but they also had sweet flavors, pastries and desserts, and some beer and wine. Great sitting area with ivy, couches, and a fireplace along with low tip and high top tables. Also offered a few outside tables. Will be back! read more

I visited this really cute and Instagram-worthy place recently and had an amazing experience. The staff was super friendly and made me feel so welcome.

If you're into kava, you've GOT to try this place! It's refreshing to see more and more kava shops pop up and this one, albeit a limited menu, has some yummy kava recipes. I tried the Coco Chai Dream and my fiance had the Guava Spark. The kava mixed with the chai so well and my fiance loved his drink, it went down quick. The server was cool, they seem to be pretty active on social so there's that. It was cool island tiki vibes and we've both been wanting to go back! read more

Stopped in for a coffee while I was out and about and it was an excellent decision! It is a super cute spot. Plenty of different types of seating - a bar, some couches with a little fireplace, and regular tables. I had an iced Island Spice latte which was delicious. A unique flavor profile. It contains nutmeg and has a little heat with the paprika they add. But not too much (I love spicy things tho, so this might be too much if spicy isn't your thing). My friend had the coconut crème latte. It was good, but we both thought the drink was just a little too thick. Flavor was good. We also tried the pistachio pastry as well as some croquetas (I think I am spelling this right but not sure). The pastry was tasty, but I have been dreaming about the croquetas ever since. The best part of this place might be the service! They were willing to go over any drinks we asked about as well as food. We sat at the bar and they chatted some with us and it was fun to hear them speak on the opening and how excited they were and have been. I would stop in here any time I'm nearby! Maybe even sometimes when I'm not, just for the croquetas alone. read more

Love this local coffee and kava Cafe. I enjoyed two tasty coffee drinks on those trip a cuban coffee and a mushroom coffee caramel latte. Then to pair it with a guava and cheese pastelito was great midmorning pick me up. I would say I'd like a little more cheese in the pastelito. Definitely will be back for more and to dig into their kava drink offerings. read more

Absolutely beautiful aesthetics! Definitely an eye catcher when you walk in the door. This is a Cuban Coffee spot that offers Cuban pastries, coffees as well as Kava and Kava cocktails. There was one person working whenif you have any questions about the menu they are answered without hesitation. We ordered the matcha latte and the coconut latte, both were good! I would've added a little bit more sweetener to the matcha because they definitely use real matcha powder that is not already sweetened and that's exactly what i was looking for! read more

Tiki is so cute when you walk in. You feel like you've just entered a new world. They have a variety of options including kava drinks. Barista was very helpful with some fun suggestions. There are several pastries to choose from, both sweet and savory. Empanadas were a little salty and the croissants are a bit flaky so be mindful of that. Gotta try the cookie croissant, it was the winner of the three we tried. Loved the coconut pastry just wish it had a little more filling. read more

Stopped by the day after their grand opening. The atmosphere was nice and immediately went to look at the desserts and pastries on display. It wasn't busy when I stepped in, maybe because of the time I went, but they were patient with me taking my time and quick to work on my order when I was ready. I got.. Mango tango iced coffee, paris-brest coffee, paris-brest pistachio, mango cheesecake, and a chocolate tart. The coffee and pistachio paris-brest ones were probably my favorite. The mango tango was very different but unique. read more

I was so excited to see a new coffee shop opening; my husband and I came on opening day and tried as much of the menu as we could. It's a very cute coffee shop with beach vibes, but also has a fireplace to feel cozy. The staff was very kind and provided recommendations. This place offers your standard coffee options and has unique lattes. The first latte I tried was the Island Spice, and it had a spicy kick to it. I loved it! This was the first time I mixed heat with my coffee, and it was great! The coconut latte is very coconut forward and I enjoyed the flavor. We also tried the meat pie and pistachio pastry. The meat pie had lots of flavor and the pistachio pastry was a great sharable. I definitely recommend coming and giving this place a try! read more

Tried a new coffee shop in the Southside. Worth stopping in to pick up a quick Cuban coffee or staying for a while to enjoy the ambiance. The place transports you to a tropical island. Today, I gelt like trying something new, Mango Tango, is tropical mango flavored iced coffee. You may think it is a weird combo but it was delicious, fruity notes and the bitterness of the cocoa beans balance well topped with whipped cream and cherry made it a nice treat. The service was very friendly. Explained the menu to help me make the decision on which items to order. The cool think is the use local Social Ground roasters for the freshest beans.
