Java Hailey
111 N 1st Ave, Ketchum, ID
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Ketchum, Java Hailey is a cozy neighborhood spot that's earned genuine devotion for its signature "Bowl of Soul" and thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks like their ginger-forward bhakti chai with whipped cream. The intimate space buzzes with the energy of folks settling in for real conversations, backed by excellent pastries and a full breakfast menu that keeps the kitchen humming (though it closes earlier than the cafe itself). It's the kind of place where regulars have found their drink, locals linger over the comfortable atmosphere, and visitors stumble upon new favorites—though fair warning, those specialty cups come with specialty prices.”

The coffee was good, as stated by multiple people, the bowl of soul is the way to go. Have tried other drinks and its definitely my favorite and made perfectly every time. Also the BAKED GOODS! The chocolate croissant was to die for. The breads were great too. Definitely love stopping here.
Coffee was fantastic, but $9 a cup would be enough to begin a revolution in most countries. I would rate the food but I was rudely told the kitchen closed 2 hours before closing which is confusing for a place with such limited hours. Great for tourists who have blank checks to write for breakfast, would avoid if you just want a casual spot with a bite to eat.
The shop is super cute! So is coffee. Very very comfy. I was a little disappointed in the coffee though. It looked amazing, but it tasted more like chocolate milk than coffee. I got the Bowl of Soul, maybe their other coffees have more of a coffee flavor.
Found it! Found my new favorite spot (while on vacation) for a life changing chai blend - bhakti chai. Very ginger forward but sweet and spicy. I opted for the whipped cream on top, and it's a MUST! Homemade, full of flavor, and dense texture.l - YUM! Avocado toast is simple and sliced avocado, not mashed. Choice of sourdough or wheat, not buttered, just plain. Four pieces though! Took it home and added Sriracha to some slices, and garlic truffle oil and glazed balsamic to the rest. Service was great, personable and kind. Cafe was cute, and I really loved the art they had up of iconic celebrities. I'm excited to try a breakfast burrito, and am definitely coming back for the bhakti chai, ev.er.y.day. while I'm visiting!
