Java House Coffee Roasters - First Ave

Baristas were super nice and friendly. Greeted upon entering with a smile. Good vibes, away from the college environment. Played games with the family and caught up

My favorite place to relax and work on my crafts. I'm in poor health, so, I spend a lot of time resting at home. This place feels so cozy that I can get out of the house without straining myself at all. The drinks are great too, obviously. Lol

Thursday around 1 o'clock at a coffee shop, a great time to be there if you want some peace and quiet and like being around coffee. Got the Sumatra and it's awesome.

Nice place to have a coffee and chill. They have vegan alternatives and a lot of space in here.

Friendly, attentive staff with delicious, affordable drinks. I haven't had the opportunity to sit down and relax here, however the atmosphere it lets off when simply ordering a drink at the counters is warm and welcoming. Tip well and often!

A local favorite for coffee and the best scones in town.

Love this location! The staff is friendly and helpful. The place is quiet, spacious and cozy. Not too busy with students doing homework like at other coffee shops. A nice place to relax and enjoy your favorite coffe/tea drink with your spouse or friends.

Fair pricing for a good quality fresh pour over coffee. Fast friendly service, baristas are knowledgeable and enjoy offering help to the first time customers in making decisions. The vibe is very calm and relaxed, great place to sit and unwind.

Good coffee awesome I'll go back again

Great coffee house with ample seating, flavorful drinks.

The place seems infinitely better since Angela Winniki left. Just my personal opinion. But probably one of the best things to happen to java house in awhile. Coffee was great. Service was exceptional. It has earned 5 stars once again

This is my absolute favorite coffee shop. I started going to the downtown location in high school, before coffee was even trendy. The location at the University of Iowa Hospital has gotten us through multiple hospital stays with our kids, and the East side location I have to go to every time I'm in town to visit my family. I won't step foot into a Starbucks if I'm in Iowa City and can go to the Java House instead!!

Java house is one of my favorite coffee shops in Iowa City area. They have a good selection of high quality tea, a great breakfast tea, and excellent pastries. Cozy atmosphere for meeting friends.

This Java House has a calm environment with low lighting. There is definitely overall less traffic than the downtown Java House, but you get the same aesthetic and delicious beverages and treats. Would recommend for the college student who would appreciate this atmosphere.

First time there and was clean and nice greeting from staff who took order. Slow on delivery of our coffee but not in a hurry so no problem. Nice array of gift selections.

This is worth the stop! I just got a black iced coffee and it wasn't bitter, just a great cup of coffee. I can't wait to try more! Thanks for working hard!

One recommendation I have is to take names when you get busier because it was a bit confusing to find my order after it was made.

Great place to hangout and chat with friends over some great coffee! They have free WiFi as well. I've seen people get kicked out for bringing in outside food (but that kinda makes sense because they have some food items).

Java House is one of my favorite coffee shops in town. Quiet, relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, great coffee. I've been a regular for over ten years.

Friendly staff, very clean and delicious drinks. I love the glow worm. Good assortment of pastries and snacks too.

Java house is an Iowa city staple and I was crushed when they left the UIHC. The coffee here is better than any other coffee chain I've been to and the seasonals are incredible and offered year round. Worth a look if your tired of settling for Starbucks.
