Crema's Take

Java Station is a spacious, laid-back spot where espresso drinks and creative blended beverages like their Arnold Palmer really shine, making it an ideal retreat for working, reading, or lingering over coffee. The staff genuinely care about making you feel welcome, and while their pastry game has been inconsistent lately, their tea selection and thoughtfully-balanced blended drinks keep regulars coming back.

I like their arnold palmer and their blended coffee drinks, the drip coffee is good but not amazing. The service is fine though I on occasion have found them to be a little bit curt. The price you are charged can be slightly higher than what is printed on the menu. I don't mind paying more but I do think they should correct the displayed prices to reflect that. Overall it is a very nice coffee shop and I like going there.

Great coffee in a chill vibe place. The food has really tanked recently. I used to enjoy eating here but something has changed. The bread tastes like a bag of shty bread from the grocery store. Used to be fresh and chewy and delicious now it is insipid and bland. The service is average.

Great place to work and grab a coffee or even read a book! The staff were super kind and had a great number of selections for tea as well. The blender I got was not overly sweet, which I appreciated a lot. I do believe you can make it sweeter by request if you are a sweet tooth 😋 Overall I had a great experience! A very supportive community!

Super friendly staff. Peach basil burrata scone looks amazing. Lots of space to sit, work, chill. Enjoyed my latte!

Great local independent coffee house serving up delicious continental breakfast fare in a large unassuming space. The staff are warm and friendly and go out of their way to make each customer feel like part of their family. In typical independent fashion, the walls are adorned with paintings for sale from local artists, and the bachelor pad style furnishings are an eclectic mix of indoor and outdoor furniture plus whatever was available at local garage sales.
