I'm familiar with the brand here in Charlotte but not this location so it was interesting to find parking in this neighborhood that has grown from nothing to high end in a short time. I was the only customer this morning sitting inside with my laptop. My cortado was excellent! Prepared with care and the proper amount of coffee with steamed (not foamed) milk. Delicious. I hung out until it was time to head on. Wifi worked well, the coffee was great, the location is fabulous. It should be easier to park as the construction completes.

Available street parking. The drink I got was the "Lauren" which is a barista recommendation. It is an Iced Matcha with blueberry cold foam and syrup. Delicious syrup and tastes just like a blueberry muffin! You can taste more of the blueberry flavor in this drink and is on the sweet side. Wish I could taste more matcha, just a personal preference.. so for those who enjoy matcha keep this in mind. Still enjoyed it though and will adjust sweetness next time. Will be trying other drinks and their coffee!

From the moment you walk in, it feels cozy, welcoming, and peaceful. I chose an herbal chai crafted by a local tea maker, drawn to its traditional wellness benefits. It was absolutely delicious. Margaret, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about tea. She thoughtfully guides guests through a wonderful selection ranging from classic Chinese teas to carefully curated herbal blends. You'll also find loose-leaf teas to take home along with beautiful gifts for any tea lover. Whether you stop in with a friend or simply bring a good book and enjoy a quiet afternoon, this is a special place worth experiencing. I highly recommend a visit--you'll be glad you found it.

As I walked up i instantly noticed the beautiful aroma of roasting coffee beans, and it only gets better the close you get. I stopped by just to pick up a bag of beans, and literally watches them load the beans into the package I was purchasing. It also might be cheaper to get your beans here, as there is no middle man retailer, I'm not sure what a bag might sell for elsewhere, but it was $12 for a 12oz bag of Black Hat whole beans. If you like local coffee, definitely worth stopping by!

The family running the business was very kind and courteous. They have outdoor seating and covered seating, it was quite cozy. Great for a summer family outing or after dinner treat. I asked for a suggestion and one of the owners went through the menu very patiently. I decided on the strawberry-banana smoothie and it was simply amazing. It was not super sweet or syrupy. It was made with quality ingredients and kindness. I can't wait to return. Let's support this amazing family and business.

It was named Java Hit and I desperately needed a cup of Java so I pulled up to the drive up window (yes, I said drive up)! I met the sweet st young lady (Kimberly) who just happened to be one of the owners. Kimberly gave me the run down on the menu and after a carful consideration she made me one of the best cups of dark americano coffee I've ever had. In just a few shout minutes I found out that Java Island Hut has a wonderful backstory; Kimberly has a nephew that has a illness so her family started Java Island Hut to support and help with research for his illness and a portion of every cup goes to support the foundation. If you stop by Java Island Hut not only will you get one of their great coffees, teas, frappes, lattes, smoothies, milkshakes or pasties but you'll be supporting a great cause. Kudos Java Island Hut!

So glad we did! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Valerie, who was so sweet The service was genuinely perfect--warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. I ordered the Superberry Smoothie with oat milk , added avocado , and skipped the blueberries. It was so good--super refreshing and exactly what I needed after our workout. My husband went with the Mango Mellow Smoothie with coconut milk . He downed it so fast I took a sip, and wow--the natural coconut milk added the perfect hint of sweetness. So tropical and delicious! We'll definitely be back, especially for more smoothies--and I can't wait to try the boba one day! While chatting with Valerie, I mentioned how much I loved the atmosphere. The space is incredibly inviting--the seating is comfortable and perfect for relaxing with a smoothie without feeling rushed. There's also an adorable photo op spot with a flower wall --I can totally picture myself getting dolled up in a cute dress just to take photos there! Valerie mentioned this was just a soft opening, and the official grand opening will be on July 4th --with Labubu making an appearance! It's so exciting to see small businesses like this one opening their doors, creating a sense of community, and showing they truly care about their customers. I'm genuinely excited to watch this adorable small business grow and thrive
