Meh...it was fine. Props for being an independent coffee shop, but Mama Java's is not quite my flavor.
I am so not a fan of a super bright coffee shop. I like some nice dim lighting with comfy chairs and couches. They have mostly little bistro tables with wood chairs, not so comfy. Mama Java's is more a wall of windows and very bright light. I am not saying it is wrong, just not where I want to hang.
This place could probably be a nice place to hang out at with a makeover. Some drapes, more comfy chairs and sofas, a dimmer switch. Calling all designers, please do a makeover.
The espresso was decent, and I had a ham and cheese on a croissant that was basic but good. Although a little lettuce on the sandwich wouldn't have hurt. It really was just ham and cheese, good, but nothing to write home about.
The staff was super nice, but this place just needs some help if it's going to be a great coffee place to hang out at. Closing at 6PM daily does not help either.
