Bait and switch

by charlesjanay at Citysearch

Usually when you offer a 'deal of the day' it's to bring in new customers, Not here. They made an offer through a deal of the day site where you paid $5 upfront for $10 towards a purchase. When I went to redeem it a couple of months later (it was valid for 6 months) I placed my order, and presented the certificate when it was time to pay, and it was refused acceptance. Fraud.

Charming

by SarahBeth01 at Citysearch

This place is so cute and has a lot of character. The first time I went in there I was just admiring the decor and the selection of gifts and coffee beans! The "motto" for Java girl is so cute that I had to start Christmas shopping early! I was just visiting the city for a couple of days but my friend showed me "one of her favorite" coffee shops and I would have to agree. Did I mention that the coffee was really good too?? We ended up going there the next morning too.

  • Pros: Great coffee as well as charm!

A real coffeehouse

by PhilLaw at Citysearch

Java Girl is a true coffeehouse--a meeting place for blue collars, white collars and others. Great coffee, no pretense, fresh homemade sandwiches, soups, salads and more. A friendly staff of real people. And its 8 year run attests to its quality. One of a kind place that helped make a bunch of strangers into a neighborhood.

  • Pros: Great coffee; chill atmosphere; real food
  • Cons: Closes at 7:00 pm
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Cozy neighborhood coffeehouse

by kayreichert at Citysearch

Java Girl has the best coffee in the city, and they have a great selection too. The atmosphere is very cozy and inviting making it a great place to read or journal. Also, the staff is very knowledgeable about the different varieties of coffee. And if you can't find a seat inside, they have comfy chairs outside as well.

  • Pros: Ambience, Great coffee and selection
  • Cons: not enough seats

Love this little hole

by frappuccinousa at Citysearch

It's not easy to nab a sit here as the lucky souls who lives around fills it up to 6PM. One would walk right by if he didn't look for this place but what a gem it is if you find it! Even my most snutty girlfriend fell in love with this cozy place! Bad news is it closes really early-7PM (too early for a coffee/tea shop in a residential area.

  • Pros: cozy hide away, friendly bunch, good mocha
  • Cons: small-lack seats, closes to early
