    Paid $15 for a very small vegan wrap - their only vegan offering - with a teaspoon of hummus and a hint of pesto on it, and a wrap and lettuce and tomato. I had to drown it in tapatio to make it taste like anything. I wish it was better. To not have real vegan food or pastry options in 2026 is just disappointing. The peppermint mocha was tasty! But vegans - i do not recommend coming here to eat.

    Great coffee and a truly energizing experience. I stopped by Java, asked a few questions about the coffee, tried their recommendation — and it genuinely woke me up in the best way. You can tell they care about quality and know what they’re serving. The place has a very cool, relaxed San Francisco vibe — cozy, atmospheric, and authentic. Perfect spot to reset, think, or just enjoy a really good cup of coffee. Definitely coming back.

    Java Beach is walking distance from work. They always have delicious items like the Irish Soda Bread, chicken coconut curry soup and soft serve ice cream. The staff are ALWAYS nice and the owners are generous with their donations : )
