Two of us came here for a nighttime chat between 7 and 8:00 closing time. There were still several customers at tables who looked mostly like they were students working on laptops. The woman at the register was friendly and welcoming and patient as we made our selections (chai and an Oreo frap-type drink). After paying we sat at one of the plentiful tables in the spacious dining area, which could benefit from a couch or other form of cozier seating than the current tables and chairs. Other than that it’s a nice setup. I wasn’t crazy about the chai-it tasted a bit harsh and wasn’t hot-more very warm. I should’ve asked for a reheat and I’m sure it would’ve made it yummier or maybe I’m just a picky person-lol. My friend greatly enjoyed her Oreo drink however and it disappeared before I could even ask for a taste. At 8:00 we were so deep in conversation that we didn’t realize almost everyone else had cleared out for closing. And yet, the staffperson did not hustle us out as she was busy clearing up in back. She did, however, warmly bid us a good evening. Really good service here, and next time I’ll have tea or coffee or one of those tall Frappuccino type drinks. Show less

This coffee house is an awesome and intimate place to grab, well, a coffee but also sandwiches, baked goods, and a variety of teas and other drinks. Lots of seating and very inclusive. The people who work here are, without exception, incredible. Friendly, efficient, quick to remember names; such service is almost always the hallmark of the owner…which makes me think that whomever the owner of this special place is pretty awesome because everyone working here is invested in creating a great experience. While we’re only in SB two months a year, we feel so lucky to be able to visit Java Station daily when we’re there. Show less

Fantastic, locally-owned & operated coffee shop featuring a wide selection of coffees, teas, bagels and burritos. Staff is super friendly and service is prompt. Indoor & outdoor seating. Usually busy and parking can be tricky but well-worth it to visit and enjoy! Cash & credit cards accepted. Great selection of both green and black teas in addition to their coffee offerings - not to mention smoothies, Italian sodas, etc. Their bagels are delicious and they make some great sandwiches with them. They also serve some pastries, croissants, and sweet-breads. Generous with the butter and cream cheese. Great place to kick back and catch up with friends. Parking lot is usually full, but also look for parking along the sides of the building and in back. Small amount of on-street parking also available on the side-street. Show less

Latte had an amazing froth to espresso/milk ratio, it tasted very rich. Espresso had a hazelnut flavor and was decently strong.

I immediately headed over here instead of Starbucks. Best mocha in town. Rich, robust chocolate and coffee flavor! Would opt for this place any day over any other coffee shop I’ve tried so far. Such sweet service too! I got my mocha double blended with oat milk. This pastry I got is also amazing. Highly recommend this place. Great hang-out or study ambiance too. Thanks so much! Show less

I come here multiple times each week to work or as a treat before school with my daughter. I drink black coffee and enjoy the French roast. The bagels are toasted crispy on the edges, which is how I like them. I took a star off of the food review because (1) the breakfast burrito is tasty, but doesn’t have the feeling of a fresh, made-to-order meal and (2) I had a smoothie that still had 1/4 of a banana left at the bottom. The service is exceptional and caring. They make an extra effort to make coffee shop visits a special outing for my daughter and her interaction with them over the years has led to an increase in confidence and independence to wait in line and ask for help.

The coffee was amazing, the toast was OK, I was sad that 2 people that got there after me got their food before me. Also, they kept burning the bread, new employees??? Maybe. What I saw was that the employees lack focus and drive. But then it is typical around here. You are not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. I do recommend coming here. I will definitely come back. Hopefully, next time, things will go better. Show less
