I haven't been here for a while. When I finally had some time, I decided to stop by and grab myself an iced coffee. To be exact an Iced Carmel Mountain Latte. My passenger at the time got a Mango Fruit Smoothie. This place is located in the same plaza as Grocery Outlet and PetCo. It's a drive thru, and you can go on both sides, which is very convenient. The barista was friendly and made our drinks pretty quick. The coffee itself was made just right. It wasn't too sweet and wasn't too carmelly (is that a word? Haha). It hit my coffee craving for the day. The Mango smoothie was good too. It tasted a bit sweet, but was a nice healthy alternative. When you pass by this little spot and feel like a drink, drive on by and order something! read more

I've been coming here since I was 15 years old and today is the first time the coffee was just nasty, so I drove back and ask the girl if she could please remake the coffee as it tasted wrong. She said yes of course and asked what was wrong and I told her it was bitter and tasted like Burt coffee. She proceeded to make me a new drink and stated she might have only put half of the white mocha powder and I said maybe that's it. When she handle the coffee to me I told her I never complained ever and that this is the first time and as they have awesome prices I work very hard for my money and she said well I've been on my feet all day making coffee maybe that's why. I just thanked her again and pulled away. I am a CNA and I had just come off an 18 hour shift on my feet walking over 17 miles, climbed 23 flights of stairs, standing for 20 hours of the day! I'm tired but that doesn't mean I'm going to treat my patients like crap. I guess I was just taken back by her a little bit and just the way she talked to me at the end made me feel like I was trash even asking to remake my order. read more

lowkey lil spot in the petco parking lot. it's a lil drive thru coffee thing which is very cool. nah but it was like 40 degrees at 8 in the morning. i was on the brink of hypothermia so im like hey let me look on yelp for some good coffee spots and i see that this is close to me. so im like shi ill give it a try to alleviate my hypothermia bc its cold as a mug. alr but i pull thru and was immediately greeted by the employee and she even asked how i was doing. very nice employee. ok but i ordered the hot white mocha 20oz and it was like $4 and some change which is a really good deal considering coffee prices be atrociously crazy nowadays. they were rly quick to make it as well which is a plus. but the white mocha had pretty good flavor tho. not the best i've had but still delicious man. man ion even order hot drinks like that but i was j cold asf lol. but their drinks are relatively affordable too which is coo. worth a try if ur in the area! read more

"Holy faaaa that's good." -My first words after trying an Iced white mocha at Hot Java Cafe! I was so impressed I've been back a number of times. Unfortunately I have ONLY tried their iced white mochas, but they seem to have a lot of yummy drinks, especially the...specials! See my pic. I also love, and appreciate, that their "large" is actually LARGE!! It's sometimes hard to find coffee spots that have truly large drinks. And the price is definitely right!!! I think the large iced white mocha was about $5, which I find rather cheap. The large is even so big, I've actually been getting mediums. They are pretty fast too. I'm always shocked at how fast they are. The drive-thru is also so convenient. So far, I haven't gone wrong here! Now I just need to pull myself away from the iced white mochas and try something else!! read more

Great Place for Coffee! Cheap with great Quality. Quality as in your white mocha will be made with the white chocolate powder instead of that super sweet syrup the larger franchises use. Baked goods are pretty good too, not the largest selection, but they have some good ones like bear claws, chocolate croissants, & monkey bread. If you are near Greenback stop in all the workers are friendly & it shows that they love their job. Shop small! & Support Locals read more

I'm a virgin. Well, I was. I'm talking peanut butter cold coffee. I had it for the first time in my life! Ever. This is also my first time here at the drive thru hot java cafe. Not disappointed at all. That peanut butter Sri k is so delicious. Coffee is intended and it's not just a hint of peanut butter but I say I can taste 30 percent of it in the drink. Nothing thick floating. Just the right consistency where you can sip they your straw. I came here to get a hot mocha. On a hot day? You may say. I'm out of Italian creamer, I don't want to get out of the car to get one. Hence, the lazy way. And, out of curiously, I thought why not try the peanut butter drink too. The hot mocha is very well made. Young lady, you awesome! Thank you for making the drinks perfect. I'll be back. read more

Based on my first time here, I tried the Hug which was a white chocolate dark chocolate mocha which was very sweet, but also very smooth and flavorful. The coffee in the iced mocha was not too strong, so next time I might get it with less syrups and sauce or add an extra shot of espresso as needed. The young lady was a knowledge barista who was was kind and respectful which I appreciate. She was also patient with my back and forth choices. She was able to suggest a couple popular options as well as her personal favorites. I can't wait to come back and try their other sweet drinks that are priced reasonably. I did go at an odd hour of the day so I was the only one in line, but I hope they do get the business they deserve. I would suggest that you try it out for yourself. read more

Loooooooove this spot! It's a drive-thru style quick coffee stop with great coffee and fantastic service. As many reviews have stated, a sip of the coffee and it's instant "aaaahhhh!! So good!" I typically get a vanilla latte or the Nutty Irishman. These baristas always great you with a smile and if you come here often they remember your drink order. They offer a frequent rewards card where you can get your 11th drink free, but also they are almost a dollar cheaper than Starbucks. I give the dollar I save as a tip to the baristas because they really are awesome. Sometimes they also gave a selection of fresh pastries too!! #supportlocalbusiness read more

My afternoon pick-me-up for the day was at Hot Java Cafe. I'm an afternoon hot Chai drinker as the spices and honey help sooth and calm my vocal chords. The Chai at Hot Java Cafe was just ok. Hot Java Cafe's Chai was somewhat watery and seemed to have sugar in it. I prefer a Chai to be rich, creamy, and sweetened with honey, but this one was none of the above. Going to get Chai at a coffee house can sometimes be a crap shoot as most coffee houses focus on .....well you know...coffee. On the other hand, the service was super quick and the Barista was very nice. She had a big smile on her face and was extremely accommodating. After I paid, the barista focused on finishing up my drink and handed it to me with a smile. Hot Java Cafe is super convenient as it is actually a drive through coffee hut. There are lanes on either side of the small building and the Barista sits in her small little workspace all day long with drive up windows on each side. Another convenient fact about Hot Java Cafe is the prime location. This little drive through coffee hut is located on the North side of Greenback just East of I-80 Its probably not more than 1/2 mile from the freeway. Although I didn't care for the Chai (which is why I gave it 3 stars) I do plan to give Hot Java Cafe another try and I will order a coffee drink next time. read more

Pretty good drinks for the price I got a "specialty" latte, the Carmel Mtn Latte 20oz with an add shot and it was only $4.30 that's a cheaper price than a 12oz Latte from Starbucks. It was pretty tasty, not TOO sweet. If you like it super sweet have it regular without the add shot and it'll be perfect. My husband got a 12oz huge mocha and that was SUPER tasty too! I'll be back to try their blended drinks, infused Red Bull, and Italian sodas read more

I'll be honest, the Ethiopian I started with wasn't really showing how I expected. It felt a little muted and flat to me. But here's where it flipped, he actually checked back in, asked what I thought, and instead of brushing it off, he was like "yeah... you're right." That alone tells you a lot. He pivoted and brewed up a Mexican that absolutely slapped. Clean, expressive, way more dialed. From there we just geeked out for a bit talking single origins, roasting approaches, equipment, all of it.

I was honestly so excited to go to this place. This coffee bar is actually quite hidden, as they are located right behind the Village General Store on Vernon. There's quite a bit of parking when the storefront is closed, so you wouldn't even expect a wait at all. They have such a spacious patio as well (if you want to sit down and have a good time chatting it up with your other friends), and such big space to wait if you don't want the patio. I got one of their oatmeal cookies as well as their Matcha lattes. What I didn't know was that their oatmeal cookies were gluten free, and they were sourced and made locally by artisans here in Roseville. They also used quite premium-grade matcha that made it taste really good with the whole milk they mixed in eventually. The ambiance and the hospitality was one of the best out there, and I can't wait to be back the next time I'm in Sacramento!

As for the food, there was only one plant-based (vegan friendly) option for me: the cilantro lime avocado toast. This came topped with micro greens and pickled onions, and with a side of potatoes. The portions were very generous for the price and the food was delicious. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and the staff were kind. I also ordered an Americano that was good.

I came during a busy hour which wasn't idea but didn't affect anything in regard to the taste of what I got! Typically I like to find a spot that's quietly busy so if you're wanting to do the same I would try to come when it's less busy as I found myself slightly overstimulated by the business and seeing all the seats filled up which otherwise is a good sign! The Banana Dream Match caught my eye so I ordered it immediately along with an Avocado toast + egg ( extra cost). They give you a buzzer for the food and you have to find a corner to wait in that's out of the way and pick your food up by the kitchen. The vibe was very open and I liked the different seating options as well as the abundance of outlets. I ended up eating outside to get away from the busyness and the I was in the middle of talking when the taste of the Banana hit me. The best. Banana matcha I've ever had. Which I didn't expect because I've tried so many but what I loved most is that the banana flavor was sweet but tasted like real banana and the matcha flavor was still present. The banana flavor wasn't just at the top either it was top to bottom so every sip tasted the same making it soooo good!! The Avocado toast was good as well a little on the tangy side but I loved the egg. Great spot when it's less busy which would make parking easier as well but glad I stopped in to find my new favorite matcha spot.

Lots of seating options.

These folks know their stuff! Located in a small shopping center, parking is easy. There are two outdoor tables, and they have limited indoor seating. The place is simple, clean, Free WiFi as well. They have a passionate cadre of regulars, and both they and the staff seem eager to make recommendations. Try their different types of beans, from all across the Southern Hemisphere. You will really notice the difference between them and other places. There are a number of tea and other drink options. They have a limited range of food options that includes amazing pastries, some of which are vegan. Only rarely do they have a gluten-free option.

They didn't load it up with ice like most do. Overall, would go back but probably wouldn't crave it too often. It's more creamier than it is fruity which I don't always lean towards. Also, not as strong caffeine wise. The service itself was fine. I do agree with the other reviews about the staffs attitude. The girl who took my order was kind and made our pup cup from scratch but as a whole, it feels like they took the girls who worked at Brandy Melville and placed them here instead.

I ordered the turkey, mushroom, and cheese omelet and asked for egg whites. It doesn't look as tasty as it was in the photo, but it was absolutely delicious -- perfectly cooked and really flavorful. The fruit on the side was fresh, too. And the real win? My picky son ate an entire pancake -- which basically never happens. The small note was the orange juice. My daughter didn't love it -- it had a little zing to it that she wasn't used to. Overall, great food, friendly service, and cozy, small-town vibes. We really enjoyed our first visit!

The sandwich, for me, hit the spot. The bread was very enjoyable and not soggy at all. As an avid pickle lover, I did not care for the pickle they provided.

I live across the street but I don't hesitate to drive to another coffee house (not Starbucks) if I want a good cup. Sometimes the coffee that I get at 4 Score is pretty good but other times I think they get the water from that mud puddle in the vacant lot next to their building. I know that I should take the coffee back if I'm not happy with it but instead I just avoid them. That's just me.
