    two girls hugging in front of a coffee cup
    Russell L.

    I've enjoyed coming here for 14 years. The friendly conversation, cozy environment and the warm greeting I receive from the owners keep me coming back. They always have my favorite roast and the coffee is consistently flavorful as well as the selection of baked goods.

    My friend and I decided to visit Java House for our study session this week, and when we were deciding what to order, the owner Cora was absolutely so sweet and patient with us! I got an extra sweet vanilla latte and she kept making sure it was sweet enough. The coffee was delicious and not burnt or bitter. It's a laidback, cozy place to study, and worth stopping inside if you're passing by!

    For nearly 20-years, Java House has firmly stood its ground on the corner of Evergreen and Columbia. Between successfully competing with other local cafés and surviving the tragic Starbucks pandemic, I was intrigued to stop by and experience first hand what keeps this place thriving. The very moment I set foot into the shop, I felt like I slipped into a sitcom. Between the general vibe and the regulars jump starting their morning with "the usual," I couldn't help but wonder if Java House was Vancouver's equivalent of Cheers or perhaps a more appropriate comparison of Café Nervosa on Fraiser. Whatever the sitcom, I must have stuck out like a sore thumb, because after I ordered my latte, the cheerful barista working commented "Oh! This is your first time in!" Now, I will admit that I have a freaky memory when it comes to remembering names and faces, but even I was baffled how she knew this given how long the shop has been around. Quickly wiping the surprised look of my face, I said "Yes it is!" and the lady proceeded to thank me for stopping by and gave me a warm welcome. After this random but much appreciated welcoming, my drink was ready and I was off to conquer my day with my caffeinated sidekick. With just my first sip, I began to understand why this place has been rockin' the couve for so long. The combination of strong yet smooth coffee and a super faint (and not overly sugary) vanilla definitely fit the bill for my ideal yummy latte. For kicks I went back on a Saturday morning to see if I would have a similar positive experience. Needing a java jumpstart to my day, I cut to the chase and ordered a cup of the daily house blend (Panache's anniversary blend). As with my first experience the baristas working were super pleasant and I ended up with a mean cuppa jo. This time however, I stuck around to correct some papers while I enjoyed my bevy. To my surprise, this was a wonderful spot to get some work done, and as an added bonus it was a sunny day so the natural light/caffeine combination put everyone in a wonderful mood. Between the awesome drinks and friendly staff I now understand why this place has kept busy for so long. Java House defiantly earned a spot in my favorite Couve coffee shops, and I have a feeling it won't take long before I become a usual like the rest of them!

    The best cup of coffee in the world except for the cuppa coffee I had the night before

    This place can be really small sometimes it just depends on how you look at it, but the last time I went it really was smaller and it reminded me of willy wonka and the chocolate factory and how you would go down the hallway and everything would get really small and you get really big. Then I realized this was not Willy Wonka's chocolate factory this was just a coffee shop and I was left with just me and a cuppa coffee. Each person inside this coffee shop was most likely on Adderall because they did not move from their devices or books for literally hours. I thought that maybe it would be a good idea to buy them something to eat or drink so I went around and I gave my business card out and ask everybody if they would support me and my trip to Uganda. For some reason I never got any response.

    Stepped into Java House totally unplanned. I desperately needed some caffeine after stuffing my face full of tacos from next door. They may not serve some fancy-ass coffee, like most of the Portland coffee joints, but whatever they are serving here is good. My cappuccino was strong and expertly made. Not to mention the people behind the counter were very friendly and helpful. I would happily return.

    Just had to take this picture, the place was pretty quaint and cute!

    If there is anything better than two thumbs up or five stars, this is it. The Cheers bar of coffee shops.

I popped in on a weekday morning and it was bustling with people. The line wasn't long and I got helped quickly. The person taking my order was friendly and offered solid information comparing their chai to the London fog. He proceeded to ask me about my day and seem like he actually cared. I wasn't sticking around, but there were open tables. Things were clean. They also have plenty of room to sit outside if you'd like. There are pastries and some cold drinks in a case. There aren't a lot of gluten free options, but they did have one muffin I could have had. The drink preparation takes a bit of time. There were people already waiting and many of their drinks have special preparations (pour overs, steeping the tea). Have a minute to wait. I had the London Fog and the baristas advice held true. The flavor was worth the wait and I will surely go back. They roast their own coffee and make you feel welcome. Plus, there's a bookstore across the street. Love all around.

The café offers plenty of seating and feels bright and welcoming, thanks to its corner location with large windows that let in lots of natural light. The owner is from Tanzania, and the mission of the business is to serve the local community with high-quality African coffee beans. Part of the profits go back to Africa to support coffee workers and help improve living conditions in their communities. Their signature drink is the Zanzibar spiced coffee, which I featured in my photo. It's infused with a blend of warm spices that makes it truly unique. The coffee I ordered was a lighter roast, with a pleasant hint of acidity as you sip it. They also have three different food options with African bread. The staff are incredibly friendly and happy to share the story behind the coffee shop, which makes the experience even more meaningful.
