Port City Java was just what I needed to get my hump day morning started off right! I wasn't aware…read moreuntil recently that there is a location in Leland which is incredibly convenient for those in the area who don't want to have to cross the bridge! The coffee shop is currently decked out in Fall and Halloween decor which, for my favorite time of year, made me feel right at home. I took my first sip of the gingerbread chai in the car and immediately did a little dance at the stop light. Chai can taste a little different from shop to shop, but this drink had a wonderful flavor balance of the brightness of gingerbread and sweetness of chai. Also, how fun is this Port City Java mirror frame?!

I came into Port City Java last week after a while of not visiting any location. Port City has…read morealways seemed like a nice local alternative for me instead of the bigger chains. I think that still holds true, but I want to touch on the big three factors. I ordered a frozen coffee. These used to be better I think. It was still alright, but it also used to cost less. Inflation is everywhere, but it can be a tad disappointing when quality decreases too. Again, it wasn't bad just not as great. Service was a bit slow. I was the only one in the store and the employee got my order wrong and then removed whipped cream by scraping it off and pouring a bit out, which resulted in less drink. Atmosphere was fine, but it was slow and this location is slow. Not much to compliment or harp on to be honest.

Order, go out back, and wait for your name to be called. Lots of Dino's and seats available, including swinging chairs. Lots of fun merch options from tees to hats and stickers. Marlboro man- half sweet and iced- very good. Brown Sugar- Shaken espressso with brown sugar and cinnamon- made mine with oatmilk. It overly sweet and can still taste the coffee. 2 Minty Matchas (mint chocolate chip ice cream taste) 1 strawberry- strawberry shortcake taste They offered some food options- mostly pastries and a few cookies. No down size, wish there were other options for eating, but main focus here is the coffee and they do it well.

Could not decide what I wanted but ultimately got their Nanner (banana pudding drink). It normally comes quite sweet but they were happy to modify it to less sweet.

Go and try the Cafe for yourself. We bought a sampling of baked pastries, fried doughnuts, and quiche cups. I also sampled their cold brew concoction - a cold brew with club soda and a flavoring of your choice. I chose no flavoring, and was treated to an authentic cold brew - not just hot brew iced - with all the complex floral notes and complexity I'd expect. The effervescence was very subtle, and so added a balanced nuance rather than a carbonated explosion. Just delightful! Our purchases were served with a smile and a quick chat about the offerings and origin of Brooklyn Cafe, another benefit of patronizing local businesses. We not only ate well, but enjoyed a time and place in this art infused neighborhood. I'll have to come back to sample their beignets, and that alone will motivate me to return soon!
