Java the Hut
8801 Jewel Lake Rd, Anchorage, AK
Crema's Take
“Java the Hut in Anchorage is beloved for its baristas who genuinely remember regulars and their orders, creating that rare small-shop feeling where you're known by name. They excel with creative signature drinks and espresso-focused beverages, though the execution can be inconsistent—some customers rave about their iced mochas and lotus drinks while others note issues with proportions and ice ratios. With a convenient drive-thru and a passionate owner, it's a solid neighborhood spot for your daily caffeine ritual, especially if you connect with one of their standout baristas like Rebel.”

This is my jam.. I mean java ;) I cant lie, rebel is my favorite as she is always spot on with everything! But the other peeps are good too and they have the best iced mocha. I usually get a lotus and if I want less ice i say that and I pay a dollar extra but it is yummy and if I tell them to fix something please they do it too. I do want to say.. when I ask for something to be fixed, its usually the same girl. I dont know her name.
Ordered a POG redbull kicker. There is too much ice and barely any redbull. The flavors are overpowering the rebull. I requested light-ice but they stated it would cost more. We are practically paying for a full cup of ice and hardly any drink.
I really enjoy going to Java The Hut for my Americano! Not only is the coffee very tasty, but the baristas are friendly and remember me AND my order!
Picked up an order for delivery and employee did not seem to want to provide a drink carrier for the two drinks I received. The order also included a bag of food items. She found it unbelievable that I did not provide drink carriers for their customers. I finally got one. I was told to keep it for other customers and don’t give it away. I tried to explain that it’s not for me to travel with drinks in my car, although why not have some care for the third-party vendor putting money in your pocket while navigating dangerous, icy roads, walkways, and stairs. It’s for the customer’s ease, to carry it into their house or place of business. Employee was not friendly and confrontational and cut me off, dismissing me without any other thought. So glad my company will now let us remove vendors from our daily deliveries.
They don’t greet well. They don’t engage with their employees. I really like the owner but the little teenagers who work there need some learning. Plus when I order a Redbull they give me way more ice than liquid I couldn’t even put my straw in my cup. Very disappointed I wasted $7.00 on a cup of ice with barely any liquid. I’ll never return back there to that coffee hut.
