Crema's Take
“This 30-year Oak View institution has mastered consistency in a way most coffee shops can't touch, with regulars still returning for the same exceptional drinks they've loved for decades. The creative specialty drinks—like the honey-forward Bee Hive Latte—are where Java & Joe shines, though you'll want to grab a pastry elsewhere and embrace the outdoor-only seating as part of the leisurely, art-filled vibe. Skip it if you need creature comforts, but go if you want reliably excellent espresso-focused drinks from baristas who actually care about their craft.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, outdoor seating.

See all on Google →Favorite local coffee shop, good prices, lots of local art and products sold inside. Only has outdoor seating, and not too many pastry or food options, but good drinks.
This has been my favorite coffee shop since it opened over 30 years ago. I still have the promotional coffee cup, sold for five dollars, with $.75 refills as long as I own the cup. Only two (new) employees have challenged the $.75 charge for a cup of coffee in 30 years. Thank…
Great coffee shop with good baristas. Nice and quiet off the main street of Ojai!
Consistently soooo good! That’s my biggest issue with a lot of places is it’ll be great one time and not good the next. They have a lot of unique and sweet coffee flavors. I recommend the vanilla lavender latte. Also they put a good amount of ice, unlike Starbucks that fills up…
A really nice little Coffee Shop of the main road of Ojai. I had a wonderful Bee Hive Latte 🍯that had the perfect balance of creamy to rich and robust. ☺️
