I love finding small business coffee shops and this one is such a gem! Delicious cups of Joe and so many options to choose from. Definitely a must to check out if ever in Ojai! read more

I'm glad we checked this place out it's not on the main street of Ojai so we might have missed it if it weren't for a local lady recommending it. The sugar cookie and eggnog latte were just sweet enough without overdoing it. Pleasant service. Cute little shop and the pastries looked delicious although we didn't try them, I really wanted to. Maybe next time read more

Java & Joe Specialty Coffee, Tea & Gifts - Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ojai, California

Very yummy. We came back to this spot for a second time while we were in Ojai. My favorite part is that there is a large selection of flavors when it comes to the drinks. My favorite is the hot cinnamon dolce latte. It's in a cute store with little cards and coffee beans to buy. Coffee was delish, a little more money but way better than starbucks. :) read more

Quiet, friendly café a little out of the way. This cafe had a menu that was easy to find and read, unlike some places on Ojai Ave. Got an iced Maple Chai, honeybee coffee, and a mango green tea. Outdoor seating behind the café. A lovely oak tree above the plaza dropped a few catkins and some pollen onto our table! read more

They could improve on there service they told me they could serve me cuz I was holding my pup And we asked for a paper menu and they told us with an attitude "NO"! Workers just suck the happiness out of the place! Dull Ambiance! read more

Quick stop for cold blended drinks. Almond Mocha & German Chocolate smoothies are awesome. Coffee shop with eclectic gifts too! Thank you for drinks and hospitality. read more

Was in Ojai for the day! Needed caffeine and I found Java & Joe while walking around Ojai. I passed a lot of coffee shops but this one caught my attention as it was also a gift shop. I ordered a 20oz White Chocolate Mocha for 5.25 which wasn't a bad price! That's what I pay around or more at my local shops. I think Starbucks is more! Happy to support this local spot! My drink was perfect! They have a patio outside in the back and a few tables out front! When in Ojai, I'd def stop here again! Young woman at register was friendly but not everyone was. She was also helping to make drinks but was chill. They were super busy and seem overwhelmed compared to the lady that assisted me. They busy with a big group of bicyclists that had just ordered. read more

My Favorite Coffee Spot in Ojai! This is hands down one of the best coffee shops I've ever been to. The ambiance is incredibly cozy and welcoming--perfect for relaxing, reading, or catching up with a friend. The staff are extremely kind and helpful, always making you feel right at home. Whether you're a local or just passing through Ojai, I highly recommend stopping by. It's easily the best coffee shop in the area and has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. I love this place so much I recommend it to everyone! read more

Carmel mach was really good. Got it iced. Service was nice. Ambiance isn't great and no place to sit inside. So getting to go is the way to go. read more

I go in there probably once a week. I leave a tip every time but I have never heard a "thank you", so I'll still get my coffee but no more tipping. read more

Cool coffee shop! I really like their mocha with 2 espresso shot and soy milk. Taste perfect for the hot day. Love the variety of merch they have here from cups to teas. Their cold brew coffee was also light and smooth. We went to a few coffee shop and this was my fav location for the area. read more

Omg this was the best latte I've ever gotten, it was the rose vanilla latte with oat milk. My boyfriend got the German chocolate mocha, and he loved it ! he said it was the best coffee he's ever had. 10/10 read more

Lovely coffee tea and card shop in Ojai. They have delicious cold brew and specialty drinks. The staff is super nice. The store has a few tables outside and parking is easy in the lot nearby. read more

Friendly service. So so many coffee flavors and combinations. You can get your coffee anyway you like it. Little gift store inside. There is outdoor seating in the front and back. Some bakery items as well, but I come for the coffee. read more

I enjoy the company of the baristas and the smiles. Super grateful they remember how I like my order. It's appreciated. I do usually go for a latte (good flavor combinations & recommendations), though a regular coffee is lovely as well. Thankful for the patio seating in the summer. read more

2 stars will do and more than enough for this place. Drinks weren't that special just okay, store is super outdated and old. Old man behind the counter could get a reward for awful and unfriendly customer service. We decided to come her after going to the dutchess which they don't serve coffee past 2 PM, Ojai coffee roasters didn't seem appealing so decided to come Here but I guess will take my business where customer Service is better and friendlier: I asked the old man if he has any specialty drinks or anything that is everyone's favorite. Without a word he just points at the board. I thought I was the only one who felt he was rude but w everyone felt the same way/ their drinks aren't cheap either so at least $6 each. Im not a fan of this place nor will I be returning here read more

Quick morning coffee stop fast friendly workers in the place. Taste was nice price was on par with other coffee shops in the area.

On a cold cloudy Saturday in Ojai, this coffee shop was a welcoming relief! I visit Ojai quite a bit and this is the first time I've stopped into this coffee shop! The coffee shop is located in a shopping complex across from the farmers market on weekends! The coffee shop offers cute items to buy, homemade pastries, coffee and tea drinks! My friend and I had some tea drinks! The tea is super good as they use real loose tea! We also appreciated the great customer service! We will be back! thanks for the great experience! read more

Always friendly and the coffee is always good. I have tried most of the specialty drinks and they never disappoint. Service is always fast and even when busy never do I have a problem with quality. If you're local or visit often grab a little punch card for a free cup after you get a few. Kinda similar to most coffee places apps for rewards just the old school way. read more

This is my favorite coffee spot to go every time I am in Ojai. Coffee is good and they have a lot of good options for pastries, they even have gluten free pastries. I love the outdoor seating area is so peaceful. They have also a frequent client card so your coffee #12 will be free. read more

Amazing honey lavender iced coffee! Love that they also have blended options!! I originally ordered a strawberry smoothie and the barista suggested a strawberry lemonade smoothie. Truly delicious! So unique and fun and next time in the area, definitely something I'll return for!! read more

We love individually-owned coffee places. The service is usually great, and the coffee is almost always better than the big chains. Java & Joe is no exception. Friendly staff and owner. And the coffee is excellent. One aspect that really helped them stand out is their abundance of sugar free options. As Starbucks, Coffee Bean, and others remove more and more sugar free options, Java & Joe has several to choose from. We loved our coffees and will be back next time we're in town. We've found our go-to in Ojai! read more

Another great coffee shop gem in Ojai! I really enjoy the fresh muffins and smoothies.

Nice little coffeehouse off the beaten path, really good coffee, we had our triple espresso with the coffee of the day and ended up buying the beans to go. Find it and try it totally worth it. Also, stays open later which is a plus. read more

Very satisfied with this place. I have been here a few times but recently started getting my espresso grounds from here as they have a large variety. Joe, the owner, was of extreme help & knowledge. I ended up with a Kona blend and Costa Rica blend. I am a huge fan of the Costa Rica blend. They also offer punches so after so many pounds of coffee bought you get one on them. Very happy to support a local business like them! read more

I Came at 9am and they didn't open the doors till 9:06 while me and a line of people waited outside. Coffee wasn't very good. Wouldn't go back read more

Been here three times in the last week, since we found Java & Joe. Wonderful, delicious drinks. Quick ordering with a friendly staff & ready in a minute or two. Our favorite is a 24 oz! hot nonfat milk latte with 4 shots. Best latte we've had here in Ojai! Nice people, plenty of outdoor seating in front or through the side door of this cute place. Looks like a great selection of loose tea & and so many options to make your drink exactly what you love. Our new local favorite! read more

We've been to this coffee shop many times in the last 9 years. While our dog is getting groomed down the street we enjoy a cup of coffee and then browse through the great greeting card selection. The last time we went however, things seemed to have changed. The staff is new and not nearly as friendly. I ordered a vanilla latte that came without vanilla. When I mentioned this to the gal at the counter she took it back and added vanilla. No apology. Both of our coffee drinks came warm, not hot. Has the ownership of this coffee shop changed recently? I'm not inclined to go back. The vibe was different and I felt like we were an intrusion in their day. read more

Since we live in Ojai, we've been to J&J several times. Great place for drinks. Very pleasant staff. Not located on the main drag, so usually a much quieter place to relax. My only issue is about the sweets they sell. You think I might have learned, after 3 attempts. To our tastes, something is not quite right with what we have ordered, whether muffin, slice of cake, or packaged cookies. Too sweet, or almost tasteless, or just off. Oh well, lesson learned--we will continue to enjoy the drinks there, but avoid the sweets. read more

Love this cafe! A little out of the way. You have to know about it. Bounty of espresso, smoothie, coffee, and treat choices. All good. Wonderful selection of local art cards and enticing gifts. One of the best places to find that perfect gift as you wait for your latte. Has always been more of a grab and go place, though there are always some local regulars ( good sign) sitting outside. Sweet spot and you're sure to get your java jolt. read more

Best coffee in all of Ojai. Would recommend buying their beans/grounds; they're perfect for the house or to gift as well. The shop itself has adorable pottery, gifts, cards, etc. read more

I come here after a walk or hike for a yummy ice blended coffee drink and a pastry. Service is fast and workers are pleasant. There is some seating out front which is convenient to rest, sip and enjoy. read more

Great place to grab an afternoon iced coffee or a mixed drink/smoothie. Cute little curiosities on their shelves, nice souvenir mugs and coffee to buy in bulk. A fun place to visit as you walk along the downtown streets, definitely a nice place to shop. read more

Really poor attitude from the staff - can't recommend based on that. Random collection of things for sale, mostly mediocre coffee and overpriced Hallmark greeting cards. No food available. read more

They have an amazing coffee beans selection. And without shadow of doubt, they pour the best espresso in Ojai.

Pretty nice coffee, kind of outdated place as compared with other more trendy coffee shops around. It is very convenient, though, to be able to buy gifts just right there while waiting for your drinks, they have a nice variety of greeting cards and useless yet cute gifts. A must try when in downtown Ojai. Coffee is what matters more for me, so it delivered. read more

Nice bright coffee and tea spot with plenty of room. They had four types of iced tea to choose from and had my favorite mango black tea. Service was friendly and they gave me a discount for having my own ceramic cup. Every kind of loose leaf tea and coffee jars line one wall and they have fun birthday cards for sale in another section. I like their outdoor tables facing the quieter side street rather than the main drag. Ojai provides clean restrooms at the other end of the little park a few steps from the coffee shop, so lack of a bathroom isn't such a big deal. read more

Java & Joe Specialty Coffee, Tea & Gifts - Mango green tea smoothie 24oz. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ojai, California

This is a cute little coffee shop behind the main arcade in Ojai. It is neat and clean and has a lot of coffee related things for sale. When I got a hot chocolate this morning, the young woman behind the counter was very friendly and greeted me with a smile. I was given a choice of milk for my hot chocolate and asked if I wanted whipped cream. The selection of pastries included cookies made at the shop, fresh looking muffins, coffee cake, strudel, and carrot zucchini bread. The hot chocolate was delicious, as was the carrot zucchini bread. The store was very quiet when I stopped in at 7am. I would highly recommend it for your morning pick-me-up! read more
