Reviews for Java Joe Coffee Tea & Spice Merchant in Brooklyn, NY
Java Joe is a treasure. Their Black Magic beans make an excellent espresso and their Earl Grey loose tea is super flavorful. ... I've enjoyed various types of iced teas to go. The staff here are friendly and have great suggestions for new things to try.Highly recommended! Read more
Walking into this shop you immediately smell the most heavenly coffee beans. It?s a bit of a caffeine oasis. The shelves are... stocked with interesting coffee and tea flavors, and every tool you?d need to make the perfect cup. My favorite thing about JavaJoe?s though is the attention given to the quality of their drinks. When I order an iced latte, they actually froth the coldmilk. You can very much taste the difference here compared to other places! Read more
I went into this shop while meandering in the area and stumble upon this cute little shop. I loved the products, but didn?t love... the service. The man working the counter didn?t greet anyone who entered (even when addressed first), had his back turned doingnothing the entire time and and when I tried to ask for help was given attitude and brushed off. I am offended that this is thekind of person who works here. Re the products, the teas I purchased were fair and pleasant, the prices were average for looseleaf tea. However I will not return or recommend this place until they can respect the customers who ultimately make this shoppossible. The only reason this review isn?t a 1 star is because I believe this shop can be better if customer service improves. Read more
Excellent coffee to me critical. It is the first thing that starts my day, every day, since I was 7 so it is important it is the... best experience possible. Java Joe?s coffee is absolutely the best. All of there coffee beans are immensely flavorful, with noafter taste, no bitterness, no oil. Once you enjoy Java Joe?s coffee the bar will be set extremely high to enjoy a cup , beans,from anywhere else. Independently owned, staff could not be more helpful. Moved out of the area and have it shipped to me as Ijust couldn?t find anything that came close Read more
This is the dumbest (for lack of a better word) coffee shop I have ever been to. I should have known something was up when the... two separate parties ahead of me left without buying anything. I walked in at 5:05pm. The rude little man behind the counterdidn't bother to greet me so I took it upon myself to get his attention by saying hello. With no manners he abruptly responds"if you are looking for coffee, I'm cleaning the machines and I am not making any more." So my response "Wait, the shop is openuntil 6pm but closes the coffee machines for cleaning before 5pm?" He replied "yes." Duh, you are a coffee shop - I thought thepoint was to sell brewed coffee...? It was a one man show inside so my guess is that the guy was probably lazy and didn't feellike working until closing so he cleans up early so he can jet. I guess it was ok that they lost 5 potential sales in the 5minutes while I was there. Maybe they don't need the business. Good for them. I love to visit small business in the area,especially trying the many coffee spots. I certainly won't bother wasting my time or money here though. Not when there are somany better options. Read more
This place is an exceptional place to stop for your custom coffee and tea needs and desires. Fresh brewed coffee and teas, whole... beans, loose teas, sweets, and accessories all available for sale. I looked all over Manhattan and for a loose leaf tea strainerfor tea cups and finally ended up finding it here! Service was friendly and helpful when I asked about tea strainers. I ordereda chocolate cherry latte and tried a couple of macaroons and both were delicious. #LetsGuide Read more
Kind and friendly staff. They are knowledgable on their coffees and seem to get fresh batches often. It smelled like freshly... roasted beans as soon as you walk in. They also offer a 'tab' system where you pay upfront so you can come in on your busymornings en route to work and just grab your joe and go. Great concept! Read more
Small, aromatic store with wide selection of beans, coffee accessories, and imported candies. I love popping in for winegum... treats from Europe. I can see how the staff has put off some of the other more negative reviewers. The gentleman I've beenserved by multiple times has an extremely chilled-out (bordering on disinterested) manner.
