Their breakfast options are convenient and satisfying whether you grab one of the ready to go breakfast sandwiches or a warm breakfast bowl. Both are always delicious and perfect for a quick start to the morning. If you're lucky enough to catch their homemade brownies, don't pass them up they're honestly some of the best I've ever had, perfectly fudgy and rich. The Java Shop also serves lunch and has a roomy, comfortable dining area that's great for sitting down if you have time to relax. I highly recommend stopping by The Java Shop for a quick coffee run, a bite before work, or even lunch with friends. It's local, friendly, and always hits the spot.

The exterior is misleading & easy to pass by if you're not in the know - don't let it fool you! Breakfast is only served on weekends between 8 AM & 1 PM & we just happened to be there. Service was extra warm & welcoming - we had our pup with us & it was a not so great weekend weather wise & while we offered to order & sit outside at a table as to not disrupt other diners, they managed to put us in their back room so no one had to eat out in the cold (Pepper can't write her own review, but she says thank you, two paws up!) While the menu is small, one item is better than the next & you can't go wrong no matter what you choose! Prices are reasonable for everything you get & in today's economy, it's a rare find! The apple pancakes were to die for & honestly, the biggest pancakes I've ever seen! Fresh biscuits with maple butter (YUM!) Don't pass up on the extra creamy & delicious chocolate milk! Seriously - can I get an IV drip of that? This place is the embodiment of farm to table (obviously). Zero frills, but full authenticity of a working farm. Wonderful place & wonderful people. They have lots of their goods for sale too, so you can take Buck Hill Farm home with you! We bought their delicious bourbon maple syrup, fresh herbal tea, hot sauce, & took some ribs back to the house to grill for Father's Day! Plenty of full & happy bellies even after leaving the farm. After breakfast, swing by the chicken coop & thank the ladies for the delicious eggs! LOL We hope to visit again next time we are in the area!

When my family entered the restaurant, we immediately like the rustic country decor. We were immediately greeted by a woman who confirmed our reservations and showed us to our table. The restaurant was quickly filling up and it took a few moments for a server to come to our table. After about 15-20 minutes it seemed like the staff got it going and food was coming out to tables and customers that ordered the Mother's Day brunch were getting their food quickly. My kids ordered the chocolate chip pancakes. One with game and one with sausage. My daughter is very picky with her pancakes and ate them all. I had the brunch. I had eggs Benedict, spinach omelette, ham and cheese omelette, bacon, fresh fruit, and two croissants. The food was delicious and fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to stopping by again.

Can't wait to visit again and try other menu items, including sandwiches off their lunch menu. Definitely recommend this spot! I bet it does get really busy during the summer months when people are visiting Sylvan Beach and Verona Beach.

They sell Housemade products like baked goods, syrup, sauces, etc. very friendly staff. We went on my bday and they gave me a complimentary ice cream bday treat which was very nice. The "tbc" fries are excellent. Great menu selection and there's nothing you could go wrong with getting. Definitely recommend taking home their house made fresh baked pastries or bread. Super yummy and a great way to support this small business. No parking so you have to park on the street or a separate parking lot. But it's not too big as issue. No reservations needed. Give it a try!

Came here with a group of seven people and we bought almost everything on the menu. And everything was delicious. But the pancakes is what this place should really be known for. I had the cinnabon pancakes and my buddy had the banana pancakes and wow. Fire. I also had the "meat lovers" omelette also fire. The place is a little small and only thing is they do take a while to make the food. But its worth it. I did go with 7 people so i figured itl take longer. But either. Come here!!! NYC approved

The server is very attentive, he brought some baked bread over, we didn't know if they comes with the meals, but they are just very yummy and fresh. I can't help but give it a 4 stars.

We are quite familiar with the area and had friends up the road we visited for years but had never been to the diner. Right on Route 12 at the flashing light is Woodgate center and the diner is on the corner. Was very busy when we arrived about 11am. Warm and welcoming with an old woodsy cabin feel and a fireplace roaring that we were able to sit close to. Greeted right away and despite the number of cars a table for two and a few seats were open at the counter. We sat at the table. When we received our menus I was surprised at the reasonably priced breakfast items especially since eggs were high due to a not long past bird Flu. We ordered and in a reasonable time as the crowd seems to be leaving we got our food. I went with a breakfast sandwich with Canadian bacon, cheddar Cheese, and egg which came on a light fluffy homemade soft roll. The home fries were perfectly cooked as I had added onions and they were carmelized with some crispy to the potatoes. Note many places toss raw onion in which is a big no for me so I was very happy. My dining partner had an omelette with toast and corned beef hash. Corned beef hash was nice and crispy in the outside and omelette was very filling. With a soda and a chocolate milk we were stuffed. Staff was very efficient and friendly. We noticed on the menu they serve dinners and apparently are well known for their prime rib so we will have to return.

Looking forward to going back during the warmer months to eat in their outdoor area!
