The food is always amazing. The service is so kind a polite and fast. And the ambiance is always so nice.

Cute little place that has a decent menu. We had the seasonal special latte flight and the downtowner sandwich. Really enjoyed the flight the sandwich was not my favorite, there was cream cheese and it did not pair well. The staff has always been very attentive and polite when we go. We normally recommend as a half way meet up for friends who live in the Reading area. read more

While visiting the area, we decided to check out Javateas. I am sure this place is pretty awesome in the summer time, but it was a pretty good hang out spot on a very cold Sunday morning. The place was clean, trendy, and staff was friendly. We ordered a flight of coffee. I wish they were bigger, especially since we get twice as much in the flights in our city. Other than that, we were both fans of the flavor choices in each of the coffee/tea drinks in our flight. Both our breakfast items were good too. I was a huge fan of my BLTA in croissant. We also loved to just hang out and enjoy everything before our long drive back to NY. we'd highly recommend visiting here if in the area, especially with the limited number of cafes open on a Sunday. read more

Cute place with indoor or outdoor seating options. It looks like they can enclose and heat the porch seating in the winter, which is nice. There's plenty of parking. Service was friendly and drinks were good. However, we were given the wrong food at first and the southwest quinoa bowl did not live up to its description and was the size of a side dish despite its $11 price tag. read more

I really enjoy Javateas indoor/outdoor seating. We were there on a sunny October day so the garage doors were open and we could sit outside, but still be warm. I enjoyed my caramel cider and our food was good too. Service was speedy and friendly. read more

It's been a few years since I was last here. I hate to say the salad quality definitely went down and also extremely expensive for what you get. The young staff didn't pay much attention to us and did not get the order correct. The baked goods and sandwiches look great. If I go back I would get a sandwich or something else. Hope it was just a one off and I was unlucky. It's a cute location. read more

Don't go here if you want food. The price and portion sizes are absurdly bad. I got the south west quinoa bowl, which cost $11 and amounted to 3 forkfuls of rice/beans and about a teaspoons worth of avocado. This was the first time, in 40+ years of going to restaurants, where I received a meal that was able to be eaten in under 30 seconds. Unreal. The rice had no seasoning on it at all and tasted like it was made several days earlier. read more

Tried the drink flight. A pop rock drink and a couple muffins. The drink had to be returned as they forgot the pop rocks. I had to go back to the counter and inquire about the flight, they forgot to make it. The flight was good but the service terrible. Too many other places around that provide better. read more

Beautiful establishment. Great food/coffee. Must see on a cool, fall day with the outdoor porch seating. One half is coffee/food. Other side is whiskey/cocktail bar. PS - I stopped for lunch and had a great wrap with tortilla chips. The side salsa was not good though. I gave it a little taste as it was a solid nope. It didn't matter because I enjoyed the chips and wrap. I got a latte and sat at a high top table on a beautiful afternoon and got some work done on my laptop. Every table on the porch has an outlet plus you can order from your phone by scanning the barcode and they'll bring the food to your table. read more

Love this place! We found it because our truck broke down nearby and we needed a place to wait for our tow truck. What a cool surprise in the midst of a hassle. Great food (tacos and chicken quesadillas), amazing service, and loved the dirty sodas (our first try - delicious). We'll definitely be back! read more

We were passing through and were excited to stop in after our visit last year, but this time we had a much different experience when it came to quality. I don't remember the specific drinks we had this time, but one was barely sweet and you couldn't taste any of the flavors it was supposed to have, and the other was like drinking sugar. If it wasn't for our visit last year I'd give them 1 star, and if this had been our first visit we definitely would not have come back. read more

My sister suggested coming here after hearing such great reviews. I'm SO glad we met here for lunch the other day! It was a bit tricky to find as I'm not overly familiar with this place (attached to a distillery). There's quite a bit of parking. It was super clean inside and very inviting. Different types of tables (high tops and standards) as well as a lounge area with leather chairs/sofa and tables. It was just a good amount of space to accommodate the customers that had come in during our duration (about two hours). The staff was incredibly friendly and very quick to get drinks and food out. I started with the mango refresher as well as the mushroom & goat cheese flatbread. WOW! Best mango refresher I've had in so long. Way better than any Starbucks one I've had. I also grabbed a pumpkin chai latte later on which was piping hot and delicious! My sister got the grilled ham and Brie sandwich. The raspberry jam spread on it was so good! I absolutely loved the ambience and cannot wait to go back to try more menu items. I thought prices were fair considering how big portions were as well as how fresh the food was. I highly recommend! read more

Sat night was great at the old republic distillery... javateas food and service was horrible! We waited 50 minutes before I complained about not getting me order. After I complained, they brought out my nachos but No wings yet ... after complaining again the nice girl who had just come in apologized and got me my wings 72 minutes after ordering... that were discusting... Ave your money, save your time,, eat elsewhere!!!!!! Seriously I don't know about their breakfast but night time appetizers are NOT their thing!!!!!! read more

Can someone PLEASE explain why the owner is always so miserable? Everyone has an RBF but she takes it to a new level. Your customers are the reason the place is in business. I have NEVER received a pleasant greeting, smile or anything on the positive side. It's nothing but misery going here. And PLEASE stop using powders in your Fraps and calling them coffee. For those prices I can buy an entire container of powder. I don't understand how you can be so ignorant with such a successful business. Your employees are always so friendly. Take some pointers from them please read more

The owner needs to hire help that knows what they are doing. They careen around behind the counter like they are clueless.

It's not every day you will find someone who is willing to drive an hour just for coffee, but I saw they had coffee flights and I had to go try them. Everything was delicious from the food to the coffee. The specialty drink caramel apple Chai was so good, I'd make the 2 hour round trip drive again tomorrow just for that. read more

Good food cute area. I love their coffee flights that change every month, not all of them are my favorites but it's fun to try new things and have a treat. They are $12. Egg muffins are good too which are $4 $6 with meat. Lots of places to sit inside and outside with roof. Service is good read more

First order of business...the name. It is pronounced ja-VAH-tees, not JAVA-teas. It took me a while to figure that one out...ok, enough linguistics... I've been stopping by Javateas since their opening, and I've never had a bad cup of coffee there. Granted, I don't do anything that involves frothing, whipping, blending or sprinkling; it's all about the cup of joe, with a tad of sugar. Generally, there are several blends ready to go...grab a cup, fill 'er up, and pay out. Coffee is great; "Snickerdoodle" is the ol' reliable. For those who need some calories with their caffeine, breakfast egg/bacon/cheese sandwiches, wraps, bagels, pastries from Auchenbach, muffins and scones are available. The food is quite tasty, and it tastes even better when time affords the chance to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. It's casual, tasteful, though not cavernous...I'd guess about 10 tables and a small sofa seating area are available. My only food gripe would be that it seems that the Ephrata Hospital Javateas eatery commandeers some of the food, including the unparalleled white chocolate and raspberry scones. Drats. Mamma said I should have been a doctor! Baristas? Awesome. Friendly, polite, efficient, and able to whip some good food together. The other admirable aspect of this cafe is their penchant for community service. There are always flyers to let you know what good things are being done in the community, and you genuinely feel that the owners have attempted to make an impact in the community...not just through caffeine and baked goods. Kudos to them for not just being in business for themselves,but for a much greater and worthier cause! Best coffee shop in Ephrata. Yes. read more

I started to really like this place but unfortunately my parties last experience was not a good one at all. The staff needs serious customer service training. The cashier Hopelynn, was blatantly rude to my partner and I. I tried to customize my drink and she was not having it, She exhaled and said "now I have to make it" and when I said nevermind due to feeling like a burden, she said "well, easier for me I won't complain"..... I was speechless. When my partner ordered she said "Large I'm assuming?" And not in a friendly way, all in all ordering was very awkward and the drinks were not worth the price or being talked down to like a child. read more

Cold brew was the worst I've had. I tried it because my usual stop wasn't open and I really wanted a cold brew coffee. It was horrible - I couldn't bring myself to drink it. I've had things in the past off the food menu and it's been good. Their bubble tea pretty good. The entire staff needs to step up their game in the customer service area. Every time I have been in it seems as though they are being inconvenienced to take my order. I think it starts at the top with the owner as she is always unfriendly and comes off slightly rude. The place is cute but the staff ruins the atmosphere. There are better places around to patronize with friendly staff who are hospitable and seem to want my business. So I will be removing this place from places I will patronize and spend my money. read more

Not my favorite place to go to. Breakfast burritos are really yummy but the service and staff make you feel like an inconvenience, I don't chose to go here only if I really need to read more

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! I've never heard of a coffee flight before and it was amazing!!! Staff was friendly. Food was great. I loved the atmosphere of this cute cafe and can't wait to return. read more

went in around 10:45 on Saturday (08/12/2023) and the girls working were absolutely rude to my family and all they did was joking around with each other. DISRESPECTFUL. My mother ask what all was in a certain bar and the girl responded back in the rudest way. read more

Subpar espresso: watered down, too hot and reminds me more of a strong drip coffee than real espresso. Decent aesthetic but the ceiling tiles and napkin containers really took me out of it. Menu selection was a bit too large for a small shop. Great service and the outdoor seating is really nice. Interesting choice of location, not walkable and doesn't particularly make me want to go again. read more

Owner is extremely rude and condescending. If I wanted a microwave nuked egg I'd do it at home. Prices are ridiculous for what they claim to be food. Overall I'm surprised they're still in business. Also- coffee and latte's aren't made using powder...which is what they use. Overall absolutely thumbs down read more

I'm from out of town and wanted something other than Starbucks. The ambiance is cute with lots of seating. I ordered a simple egg, sausage bagel and cold brew coffee. Everything was good. Our server was so nice and patient. We arrived at 830 am on a Sunday but it got busy pretty quickly. I would definitely come here again. read more

Waited 40 minutes for 2 wraps and both were not as ordered. Hardly any lettuce, no carrots, no hummus, just all wrap. Won't be returning.

Not the friendliest staff--they seemed a little annoyed at my presence?? but good coffee and food.

I ordered a dirty chai latte (which was delicious). I also ordered the breakfast burrito with turkey, which they threw cold turkey in with cooked eggs. Gross little mix of cold and hot. The lady that took our order on 3/23/18 around 12:30pm seemed annoyed and not very friendly. My dad had a lot of questions about what he was ordering; I understand that can be annoying, but this is YOUR JOB! Cheer up, buttercup. I don't plan on returning. read more

Found this place randomly and had to try it out! I have gone there twice since. It is honestly the cutest little place with great outdoor seating as well as indoor. Their coffees are amazing and their food doesn't disappoint. However, the food portions are a bit small for the price. read more

I am from out of town and my parents brought me here for lunch. I had the iced tea with my lunch and the iced tea was so flavorful it didn't even need any sugar. My sandwich was the turkey, avocado, cranberry on cibatta. So. freaking. good. I am not in town for happy, joyous things-Javateas brought us a time of joy during intense sadness. Thank you Javateas. I am grateful. read more

They have a wide selection of menus items as well as specialty drinks. The staff was very friendly. They know their regular customers and immediately begin their order once seen. This store is small and does not offer much privacy nor leg room. They have other locations which I have not visited. I have been here a few times and ordered specialty coffees and lattes. Personally, for me, I thought the ingredients they used were thick and gritty. My friends who have gone with me usually order regular coffee and they enjoyed their cup of joe. read more

3 stars for the food and 5 stars for service. This place is within a few minutes of my house and I had higher expectations for the breakfast sandwiches. While the bacon egg and cheese bagel was ok, it was nothing special whatsoever. The coffee was pretty tasty and they had many flavor options which was nice. What exceeded my expectations was the service. The two sweet girls that served us were so happy and friendly and provided us with such a positive experience. We will certainly be back! read more

The SoCal Flatbread was so disappointing. Avocado hard and unripe. Way too much salty sauce. Cashier looked at me blankly when I asked for a cup of water. Dirty table and unfriendly service. read more

Recently went for breakfast and 2 of the three of us were sick hours later with food poisoning for days. We did not eat the same food which leads me to believe it's a cleaning issue or some sort of cross contamination. I called to let them know and the employee said I wasn't the first person to call with a complaint. Filed a formal complaint with the Health Department. I would stay clear of this place. read more
