Crema's Take

This Grove institution brilliantly straddles two worlds as both a welcoming coffee bar and an inclusive nightlife venue, where you can grab a carefully pulled espresso by day or catch live performances and craft cocktails by night. The staff's genuine warmth and commitment to accessibility—from genuinely all-gender restrooms to an open-door stage policy for first-timers—creates an atmosphere that feels distinctly St. Louis in its embrace of community and creativity. Whether you're stopping by for a quick espresso or settling in for a "Kush and Mimosas" event, JAVA delivers the relaxed, encouraging vibe of a third space that actually means it.

Was there for the Vampire’s Masquerade and Blood Rave as a vendor. Staff was super nice, the 3 for $10 tacos were LOADED and tasty! Love that they have a cafe side and a club side.

Seriously!!! The restrooms at J A V A are All-Gender and I mean that anyone can be in the restroom at the same time! There are no locks, completely open space restroom, there are doors only on the stalls. Females, use the buddy system, dont go by yourself to the All-gender restroom, yesterday there was this freak inside one of the stalls, I literally walked out backwards looking all the time to the stall where he was at. No sound of doing number 1 or 2, just standing and possibly peaking through the door gap hole. I do not mind All-Gender restrooms, but the norm is to be used one person with the door locked... I never felt so vulnerable, never again going by myself if I ever go that JAVA place again.

The\nAtmosphere is very relaxing and it is open to everyone. The staff is all very encouraging and it is okay.If it is your first night there you are more than welcome on the stage just like anyone else. There's a lot of love and light in a sensible community.I believe what these people are doing.And I have the recommend this place.

This bar is located in the Grove so parking is only street parking. This place is a venue, bar and coffee bar. I do believe some smoking is allowed so just a heads up! I ordered a mocha mint martini and my friend odered an caramel macchiato martini. We tried each other's and it was really good! I will be back!

I have been here a few times, usually for an event. I've been to Kush and coffee, and recently, kush and mimosas. Now that, was a Viiiiibe. I otherwise have come in on a few late mornings. The barista Tee, who you'd see in their videos on IG, has great personality, and makes great coffees. Personally, I'm a fan of the iced honey hustle latte. I like to add a shot of honey whiskey to mine. All the staff I've met, are nice. Fyi, they're consumption 🍃friendly during the day as well.
