| - This coffee shop is not necessarily a letdown; it's just not anything particularly outstanding considering the (many) other options available in the Valley. If you're into gelato, you'll be pleased to learn that it's connected to The Gelato Spot, which is pretty good gelato. I like that you can grab a coffee here, then enjoy a gelato immediately next door. But the coffee itself is nothing to get excited about. And neither is the chai tea latte, unfortunately.
I'm sure that I'd visit Hava Java more often if I lived closer, but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to grab a coffee here again.
Service was fast, which was nice; but again - nothing to write home about.
There's a decent amount of seating, both inside and out, which I appreciate, as well as decent Wi-Fi, making Hava Java a good choice for those remote work days. Prices are about what you'd expect - neither expensive nor cheap. Pastries looked delicious except that they had flies crawling all over them, which turned me off immediately even if it couldn't be helped. :-/
All in all, just a very blah experience, unfortunately. I'd like to see a little more pride taken on the part of the staffing in providing quality drinks. I'd have loved the option to order a pour-over. I don't know whether I'll bother visiting again. Maybe if I'm passing through and craving a mediocre coffee... :(
*NOTE: if you Check In here on Yelp, you get a 10% code. Not bad. Appreciate that.
