Howard Coffee

“This roasting house takes their craft seriously with fresh-roasted, fair-trade beans and creative specialty drinks that go beyond the usual espresso offerings, including a unique tea made from coffee fruit that shows their commitment to using the whole bean. While the drive-through can test your patience during peak times, those who venture inside or call ahead find consistently friendly service and a selection that appeals to adventurous coffee drinkers rather than casual Folgers fans. Their pour overs and signature creative drinks showcase beans with genuinely impressive flavor, making La Java worth the occasional wait for quality that reflects their sustainable, local-first philosophy.”
