A cute cafe with lots of seating, an incredible looking menu, delicious oat milk lattes and a very convenient location. A perfect place for a coffee and breakfast sandwich run. I stopped in with a friend after a pedicure and a grocery store run (all in the same shopping center) and got myself a delicious oat milk latte and a blueberry muffin. My friend got a sandwich and although I didn't try it, she said she wished we could come back here every single day of our trip so she could try more of the menu. So that is a pretty solid testament! We loved the are and if we were around for a longer trip, this would be a frequent stop for any and all coffee/quick bite needs. The team behind the counter was friendly and fast and the space was so open, bright and welcoming. Loved it! read more

Biked to the coffee shop from Kiawah for an afternoon pick me up. We both ordered lattes which were tasty! They didnt have much to offer for seating, but a great spot to grab something to go. Was fairly busy for a mid week morning but they were quick. They also had a small pastry section as well as made to order food. Would get a drink here again! read more

Fun coffee shops in Freshfields Village. Parking is a little tough right in front but you can find parking in the area within a 2-min walk. The prices are expensive but it's Kiawah so it's to be expected. I got an iced matcha and added some simple syrup. Refreshing and nice to drink and stroll in the area. Staff was friendly and the place was clean. read more

Local and frequent visitor. However will not return. The kitchen messed up our order and left out a breakfast sandwich. When I went in to let them know, instead of being apologetic, the kitchen manager, Madison, told me that I must be mistaken. She asked to see my bag. We walked out to our table to show her the bag and prove that we were not fabricating the missing food item. At no time did she nor the owner acknowledge the mistake or apologize for calling me out in front of all of the cafe's customers. Coffee shops on every corner, I would suggest selecting any other options available instead of this one. read more

The location is convenient if you are coming or going from Seabrook or Kiawah Island! We got breakfast to go on our way out of town. I had a breakfast sandwich with pimento cheese on a bagel. It was really cheesy and the bagel was soft and there were a ton of caramelized onions on it; I like caramelized onions, but it definitely dominated the flavor. The blueberry muffin had a crispy top with turbinado style sugar and great flavor. The chocolate chip scone had good flavor but the texture was very dry and almost too crumbly to eat. read more

I would say this shop is nice and is always busy. It is centrally located in Kiawah Island Freshfield Village. The coffee is good. Indoor and outdoor seating. The service is a hit or miss. It seems to be employed by young college students. Some are very nice, but some are a little stand-off-ish, rushed, and rude. I've had varied experiences. I think it's great that there are more options for coffee on Kiawah Island for coffee now. You get a better comparison of services and offerings. I recommend trying all. read more

Nice little coffee shop on Kiawah, at Fresh Fields. Kind of cool to sit there surrounded by tourists, knowing that we get to live in paradise. Service was friendly, food and drinks were decent, it was crowded the day we went, as it was raining and probably the tourists had nothing to do but wander the shops. But we still found a table and never felt rushed to leave. If you're in the area definitely stop by for a refreshment. read more

Closed kitchen meanwhile about 5 employees standing behind the counter chatting along... apparently they are "short staffed" very annoying when you are just trying to get a toasted bagel at 1PM when they arent supposed to close until 3PM. I would recommend Eugenia! read more

This is the typical coffee shop at Kiawah Island: untrained or careless baristas that don't know the proper technique to produce micro-foam at all. I had the fluffiest, frothy, burnt tasting cappuccino that I think even Starbucks could make better this morning. I was asked what size cappuccino I wanted and immediately knew I was in for a bad experience since any decent coffee shop should only offer 6oz cappuccinos. My suggestion: just order a cold brew here because it requires no technique and the beans are good. read more

I'm not quite sure what more you want out of a little island cafe. Friendly service? Yes. Cute locale? Yes. Great coffee and cold brew? Yep. And even better, fresh breakfast sandwiches. Really enjoyed the classic: BEC. All in all, the perfect morning pick me up. And judging by the crowd there in the morning, others agree too. A good find and exactly what I would want out of a vacation cafe. read more

I have only had coffees (not food) at Java Java, and I've only ordered in person--although they have an online ordering option on their website. However, their online ordering often is not available during their limited store hours (7 AM - 3 PM). I like their cold brew with lavender syrup. I have stopped ordering any iced lattes/coffees, as even an order of "light ice" yields a ton of ice. A large is a competitor's medium (for even greater cost). You'll get way more ice than coffee. They offer soy, almond, and oat as dairy alternatives. read more

Unfortunately my husband ordered the lox breakfast sandwich and found paper left from the salmon wrappings in his food. The staff was oblivious when informed of the problem and did nothing. Poor business. read more

Coffee and breakfast this morning because no one wanted to cook and the coffee machine made some "interesting" brown liquid. We headed to Java Java as the best coffee shop in the area. I think it's also the only in the area, but never mind that. A short queue to place our orders. Printed menus and one up on the wall as well. The restaurant was busy but a table opened up at the right time and we were able to enjoy air conditioning rather than outside. Coffee was good. A single origin Honduran was rich and full of caffeine. I chose the lox bagel which was okay. A plain bagel with some red onion, scallion cream cheese and a few slices of salmon that was all put into a panini press. Tasty and good enough for breakfast in the South. A proper Yankee would never do it this way but we have a higher bar for such things. Busy coffee shop, good coffee, reasonable bagel. I'm a fan. [Review 11598 overall, 1378 of 2019.] read more

Java Java is solid but not outstanding. This evaluation covers the coffee, the food, and the customer service. The staff tend to be young and harried (though also competent). The coffee is good.

Not sure why the low ratings but we enjoyed it. We happened to stop in for some coffee which was fresh. My husband decided to get a breakfast English muffin and he thought it was great.

I have been on a hunt for great coffee shops in every city I visit. I tried and iced vanilla latte when I arrived and immediately was ready to return for another coffee. The line was long which is a great indicator that the coffee is good. read more

staff is rude and unfriendly makes going there feel like an inconvenience to the staff. You could tip them 30% and they would still not say thank you. Coffee is mid at best for $8. If there were other places to get coffee they wouldn't be in service. Sad because it's a nice spot but the staff and coffee is so unenjoyable. read more

Java Java at Freshfields Village on Johns Island is a great place to go for well made coffee, breakfast, and desserts. I really like the location and relaxed atmosphere here.

Coffee was very good. Service, although slow, was really good. The avocado bagel was really good. All the morning sandwiches had plenty of fillings, so you'll be fill. Although, as everything in this area, 2 coffees and 2 breakfast sandwiches will be $35 read more

I came to Java Java for the first time on March 1. I was staying in the resort and only had about a half a day before I was leaving. I thought I would come here and get the family some bagels for breakfast. I put an order in for four plain bagels and one everything bagel and two blueberry muffins and a pop tart. I was told that the bill was $37.96. I thought it was strange that the person waiting on me use the calculator to figure out the $2.04 change from the $40 I gave her phone. I thought the price for what I bought was very high but when I got home I thought it was even higher. I open the bag and found out that instead of foreplane Nj1 everything she gave me for everything and no blueberry muffins not a one the pop tart was there, but nobody ever ate it, they tried it but didn't like it. How can you make a mistake and put four of the wrong bagels and a bag when they're supposed to be five and no blueberries. So you see the 3796 was very very high for what I got, I didn't have time to go back and correct this something told me that person I dealt with wouldn't even remember what I got. I think they get a lot of people that are one timers come in buy something to leave. I didn't find the staff to be very friendly at all. I think their smile muscles must've been broken so we ended up getting 4/2 bagel and four2 plain bagel since everything was only on the top. I have to say this though about the area I don't know how people afford the food and the restaurants in the Kiawah area read more

WOW. This place is simply perfect, by far my favorite cafe over the course of the past few years- calm ambiance with tasteful mood music, comfortable sink-into arm chairs that make for great reading nooks, fantastic chocolate chip cookies, and creative, flavorful sandwiches. The cookie tasted like it dropped out of heaven with a caramel aftertaste, crispy and buttery texture - and the best part: not too sweet. I tried the autumn sandwich with crunchy tart apple grilled with cheese; the prosciutto and fig panini was also superb in balancing flavors. My toddler devoured a donut - and based on the one bite she permitted me to take, I can see why she wasn't keen on sharing. Will make a point of eating here any time I'm visiting Kiawah! read more

My wife loves the frozen Java Java Mocha and I loved trying some of their breakfast offerings this week. Love that they get their coffee beans from Charleston, SC.

Great coffee shop! Good service and good prices. I loved my iced coffee and the pumpkin slice!

I've gone 4 times this week during our trip and have had something different to drink and eat each time. Everything has been very good.

Excellent breakfast, chai latte! Great service and coffee. Our favorite coffee place in the area.

Absolutely love this place! I have been local for a few years and am sad to see how much hate they get. I understand that the prices can be high but the same goes for everyone around Freshfields/Kiawah-- unsure why it's so surprising for some people. The staff have always been so amazing and helpful with everything, great environment and especially tasty food. Would definitely recommend it for anyone in the area. read more

Great coffee shop in the middle of fresh fields village! Don't bother with Starbucks over in the Grocery store because you'll get better coffee and customer service here.

At Java Java the coffee tastes like water & the customer is always wrong. Visiting from out of town with a group of friends. We spent $55 on 8 coffees (lattes & a cold brew). The cashier told me that they used their cold brew instead of espresso in the lattes, because the cold brew was so strong. I ordered one with a splash of almond milk. Let me tell you, I was so looking forward to having it! I love a good strong coffee and when you drop $$$, you think it's going to be amazing. It came out about 3/4 full, and I commented that I didn't need that much room- and the barista offered to give me more ice, but not coffee. I accepted the ice. When I tried it, it was so watered down, my friends noticed their the lattes were 98% milk, in taste & color (they were stark white.) The barista was extremely rude when we asked if they could be stronger. She showed said if we wanted extra shots, we would have to pay for them. We decide to leave and as we were walking out she yelled after us, "front back or side,ladies." Good thing there were 3 ways to exit because we could get out of their fast enough. read more

Java Java is very expensive. We got 2 coffees, a waffle, and a bagel with avocado and sausage on it for $30. All of the food and drinks were fantastic. The food tasted fresh, quality, and hot and was very filling. The drinks were definitely good coffee, and I recommend the lates. Great cute little atmosphere for a small place in the middle of a shopping center. Would recommend if you don't mind spending the extra money. Friendly service also. read more

What a great way to start the day! Food: Their breakfast sandwiches are fresh, homemade, local and original. They have lunch, but I picked up for breakfast. We had the walnut croissant with bacon which was absolutely phenomenal. The classic sandwich (with ham) was decent if you want something more standard but I probably wouldn't get it again since they have so many other delicious-sounding options! Drinks: I didn't get a coffee or tea but they have lots of options! And smoothies! Environment/Staff: it's a quaint coffee shop with customers reading books, working on laptops, and simply enjoying one another's company. The staff that day was two young women who were friendly! It took about 5-10 minutes for the sandwiches to be made. Price: It was $20.90 for our 2 sandwiches but 100% worth it! The lattes were around $4-$5. Smoothies were $6 or $7. read more

I really want to like Java Java, as I like supporting small businesses. I do like their coffee. However, the staff is so unhelpful and unfriendly. Even when there is no one else in the store and they are not busy. It's like they want to be anywhere else but there. If you ask a question they most likely are unable to answer. Will try the new cafe in the area that uses the same coffee beans. read more
