    I tried their mango matcha I think that's what it was and it tasted ok! I mean personally as a matcha girly it's not a spot I'd go to on a daily for matcha but I do enjoy trying diff flavors and new spots so this was still a good find! Service was somewhat quick I mean we did come during a busy time so we weren't too much in a rush for it and the ambiance was the place was super cute kinda gave beach vibes!

    I visited Java Earth Coffee with my friend on a Sunday afternoon. The street by the building was crowded, so we just parked a couple of blocks away & walked over. The cafe was crowded & had a line when we arrived. I ordered their #12 smoothie while my friend got their banana cream top matcha. I appreciated the lively atmosphere of the cafe, & loved that its location is only a short walk to the beach--my friend & I headed over to the beach with our drinks afterward. I enjoyed my smoothie, but I would most likely reconsider visiting again if there's a line.

    My review is purely for 1 specific item as I don't drink coffee. However, coffee shops always have tasty breakfast items and I honestly think this is one of the best breakfast bites I've had in years. The place was super packed with a line out the door but service was relatively quick and the workers were all smiling. All the outdoor seats were taken, so they must have other awesome items to order and I would happily wait in line for the coconut square every single time. Small interior but kept clean and price is great.

    The coffee was decent. I got a cappuccino that was very foamy on top, so I'll get the latte next time for more blended/integrated taste profile. Tons of seating outside. Tables inside fill up fast which is the main downside.

    Cali Bowl and latte
    Christina A.

    Love this place, such a cute local spot. The place is very bright with lots of windows giving plenty of natural light and they have a decent amount of seating (inside and outside). The service is amazing and the coffee is amazing. I got a Cali bowl and a regular latte. I wish there was some seasoning on the bowl, however, I added my own salt and pepper which definitely elevated the bowl. The latte was amazing and the staff was super sweet.

    The food, ambiance, & staff are so wonderful!! Charolette & the gentleman working w/ her today were so helpful & sweet!! Thank you for the great experience :))

    Lox Bagel

    I ordered the 16oz iced brown sugar cinnamon latte and added maple syrup and an extra shot of espresso . 8/10 for the latte. It was really good and not too sweet however the coffee flavor could've been stronger. I also had the lox bagel which was phenomenal. It came in a big portion, great for splitting if you want a smaller breakfast. The salmon was fresh and the veggies on top even fresher. The pickled onions added a great touch! The service here is great! The staff were friendly and the order came out quick, even though it was pretty busy. This place has a great airy atmosphere which is great for a quick breakfast or a study day.

    vanilla latte and cookie butter latte
    Celine K.

    the vanilla latte was very very sweet but the cookie butter latte was surprisingly less sweet compared to it. they also had a larger size for the drinks and food too. expect a wait on the weekends but it moved fairly quickly

    Smoothie

    Sadly, this smoothie was terrible. Very watery and full of ice chips. No flavor at all

    Outside seating
    Joy Z.

    Dropped by with a friend while on a walk down Cass. The place was busy and we were lucky to grab a table because someone was getting up. It looks like people stay and sit so seats are hard to come by. Once inside it's calm and cute. Ladies behind the counter are sweet. Good choices on the menu. There was no line dispute it being so busy outside. Coffee was ok. Not strong and nothing out of the ordinary. I usually have the lavender coffee and it is good, just a bit sweet. I wasn't wanting anything sweet today so just had plain coffee and that's what it was, plain. Pastries liked great but didn't try any, maybe next time.

    Banana bread and brown sugar latte

    I got the brown sugar iced latte! It was great, I really enjoyed it. My friends got the matcha, which was also good, but we collectively agreed their coffee was better. I also got their banana bread because I saw some reviews raving about it. It was good, definitely more "cakey" than a traditional banana bread. Super cute shop with good seating and quick service. Overall a 7/10 and cute place to stop by for a weekend coffee :)

    Mmmm this matcha!

    Delicious, I got the honey vanilla latte and I enjoyed the strong coffee and coinciding syrups added into it.

    The banana cream top matcha was absolutely perfect. Probably top matcha I've had, light and earthy but not bitter. So good.

    do not be deterred by the line, I came in on a Saturday morning at about 10 AM to a line out the…read moredoor but as soon as I sat down to wait after I ordered my food and drink was basically ready It was a solid operation of people working in tandem to get orders out as quickly as possible. The food was really good, better than I would've thought, had some egg bites and a breakfast burrito, a smoothie and an iced Americano basically everything I needed to survive, well worth it.

    To echo what others have said, parking is probably the biggest downside. The shop is located along…read morethe sidewalk in front of residential complexes, so there's no dedicated parking lot. Street parking is your best bet, though it may take a little patience. That said, once you walk in, the experience gets much better. I was immediately greeted with a smile, and the women working behind the counter were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The space is bright, clean, and has plenty of tables, making it a nice spot to study, work, or catch up with a friend. There was a small mix-up with my order- they made my drink hot instead of iced, but they fixed it right away with no issues. I ordered the lavender tea latte and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The lavender flavor was noticeable without being overpowering, and the drink itself was light and smooth. Overall, aside from the minor order mix-up, I had a pretty positive experience. Great customer service, a cozy atmosphere, and a delicious drink.

    Best turkey sandwich. Get the turkey sandwich…read more Okay other stuff... sandwich comes with a side and you should get the cauliflower salad to go with it. It's a big place with multiple indoor/outdoor seating options. Cute. We ate there every morning for breakfast because it's the best option nearby and opens early. It has baked goods, all do the coffee options, a full bar that opens later in the day, and good prepared meals. Didn't like the waffle as much as I thought I would, maybe 4 or 5 on the star scale. The fruit, whipped cream, and syrup for it were solid. My friends tried chai bowls, fresh fruit, banana bread, breakfast burritos, and other pastries if not enjoying the (delicious!!!) turkey sandwich. I did find myself wishing there were fresh juice options. A fresh OJ or green juice would have hit the spot and I couldn't find plain fresh squeezed I the area. All and all, super delighted by this find and scores a 5.

    I will preface this review with the acknowledgment that this is the epitome of first world…read moreproblems. I actually love this place (I could have sworn I had reviewed positively before). I'm just extremely disappointed with how poor my experience was today because I had only super positive experiences previously and was looking forward to dining there this morning after sometime away, but holy hell ....today's experience has been so profoundly bad. Firstly, my husband ordered two breakfast burritos - one with bacon and the other with bacon on the side. I'll chalk this one up to miscommunication, but they put bacon in one, and bacon in the other too - and then added bacon on the side to the other and charged us $5.50 for the extra bacon. Again, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt here and will be sure to communicate explicitly next time. They kindly made me a new one, but the new one had potatoes that weren't cooked thoroughly (likely to rush the food to me, so I acknowledge the difficulty here), however there was hardly any avocado. I literally had to complain again because I didn't believe there was any avocado at all. I wouldn't be as pissed if this weren't an EIGHTEEN DOLLAR breakfast burrito. Lastly, the coffee lids don't fit on the cups. We tried to put one on and ended up spilling the entire coffee. I chalked this up to an accident on our part, however another patron who observed our incident said "their lids don't fit the cup, right??" And I was like "oh so it wasn't just us??" And she was like "no, I almost spilled mine all over too." This random patron encouraged us to ask for a new cup of coffee as a result (thanks, random patron!). The Molly's team did kindly make us a new (albeit quite bitter) drink, which I appreciate. However, the lid was still an issue - it would spill out of the cup all over the rim between the cup and the lid when I'd try to take a sip, so I took off the lid entirely, but then was stuck with dealing with spills while walking around - I had to move at a snail's pace to prevent spills altogether. This was easier to deal with random leakage around the entire cup every time I'd sip with the lid on. Ultimately It was just a lose-lose with the ill fitting lid situation. All this to say - Molly's Team, yall were fantastic just a month ago. What happened? I understand food and services in the beach area stuff are often expensive and rarely good, but you guys are *too* expensive for this poor of service and quality. Two stars because at least the folks there are generally nice.
