The girl forgot to enter the strawberry shortbread cookies I got so she had to start another order for me to tap with my card and then she gave herself a tip! Wow, definitely didn't authorize that. $6.16 Waited 20min for my drink and come to find out, they were calling Hannah for my drink. Yikes.

We ended up moving to a booth in the back, which was more comfortable and a little warmer. It does get loud as the day goes on, so I recommend bringing headphones.

The inside was also very nice with a great atmosphere if you need a place to study or work. It had a comfortable, productive vibe without being too loud.

Today i sat in my car ready for someone to take my order, sat there for 5 mins, no one came on, even when i tried to saying hello??? another 5-6 mins to get to the window again bc service is so slow and per usual it's some kid sitting on the window (which i think is gross) who had no clue she never took my order. I gave my order there and waited. Got my food but drove off without my coffee. Had to park and go in. The place completely empty except for the 2 girls working there. Again one girl sitting on the window - love it when they have shorts on and are big girls...great professional look for the company. Coffee was already cold. i can't do it anymore. The high prices, unsanitary conditions and wait time are too much. I don't need to be this stressed out on my way to work. It's too bad bc i live close by and met hoping it would get better but it hasn't. I will not be back. Based on lack of management i don't even expect a return email back.

The cappuccino was stronger than what I usually go for, but smooth, not bitter at all. The ambiance is really nice, mostly tables and chairs with one cozy area that has softer seating.

Having opened in 2019, Baba Java entered the area's coffee shop scene at a time when coffee for…read moremost local residents was still associated with one single chain. This was the first location of Baba Java and has since expanded through the city. Ran my Omani entrepreneurs, this little coffee shop became quite popular over the years. The staff working here are mostly teenagers or college students, who are very attentive and professional despite their young age. The owner clearly picked out incredible folks to be here who make Baba Java feel both welcoming and well kept. The interior of the space is fairly basic coffee shop design, but admittedly, a little bit dated in 2026 and lacks the unique vibe of some other independent coffee shops. Window views facing the strip mall parking lot don't create much of an ambiance either. With that said, design is not the main thing to come here for. The coffee is excellent and priced very reasonably, offering a great value for an establishment of this sort. There is easy to access WiFi and an overall feeling of being welcomed. A solid little coffee shop that allows customers to support some local business owners instead of a big chain.

So I walked over today and ordered the same caramel frappe at least that's what it looks like. It tastes the same as all the other ones that I ordered in January and February. Then I didn't get good Customer Service, with kid at the window. Mind you Starbucks is right across the street. If I didn't have to cross over Highway 280 to get to Starbucks that's exactly where I would have went. Shaking my head. There's a reason that I haven't been to Scooters since March 17 and guess what I will not be going back after June 15 today. You have lost a customer for life. It tastes just like 7 brew which means they buy their ingredients and everything else from the same vendor. Nothing is different between scooters and seven brew. But here are my top three places to order if you're looking for any kind of coffee drinks. Each one tastes differently, which is the point! 1. The Bullet 2 Starbucks 3. McDonald's Frappes I am sick and tired of these places, charging all this money and Customer Service is not good and the food or drinks is not good. I will write a review every time. I had a terrible experience today at Scooters and I am not happy. I just think everyone should know considering I spent $8.55 for a coffee drink with terrible Customer Service.

With that being said, I'm almost positive the serving size you get for each order is normal/average, BUT i always have a large appetite, especially after a workout. This cafe is located within the gym. You can get a variety of foods such as sandwiches salads, noodle bowls, etc. You can also get a variety of smoothies, protein shakes, supplements, etc. They also have pre made meals that you can grab and go if you don't have the seven minutes it takes to prepare you meal. I ordered the soba noodle bowl with cilantro avocado slaw. It's a bit spicy but i'd say that spice is more for the flavor and not unbearable, i don't like spicy at all but i'll tolerate this. The noodle bole includes low mean noodles, peanuts, red pepper flakes and can add chicken for an additional charge. It's right around $9.00 and again, for the amount of food, i'd probably want to just go to a restaurant and pick up take out so i wouldn't be hungry after the meal.
