I went into this shop while meandering in the area and stumble upon this cute little shop. I loved the products, but didn’t love the service. The man working the counter didn’t greet anyone who entered (even when addressed first), had his back turned doing nothing the entire time and and when I tried to ask for help was given attitude and brushed off. I am offended that this is the kind of person who works here. Re the products, the teas I purchased were fair and pleasant, the prices were average for loose leaf tea. However I will not return or recommend this place until they can respect the customers who ultimately make this shop possible. The only reason this review isn’t a 1 star is because I believe this shop can be better if customer service improves.

This place is an exceptional place to stop for your custom coffee and tea needs and desires. Fresh brewed coffee and teas, whole beans, loose teas, sweets, and accessories all available for sale. I looked all over Manhattan and for a loose leaf tea strainer for tea cups and finally ended up finding it here! Service was friendly and helpful when I asked about tea strainers. I ordered a chocolate cherry latte and tried a couple of macaroons and both were delicious. #LetsGuide

quaint little coffee shop that sold both loose coffee beans and loose tea. I got the spice chai which was deep and creamy and sweet and highly recommended. it definitely has its own personality. such a tiny shop but feels like a real authentic nook in our neighborhood.

Kind and friendly staff. They are knowledgable on their coffees and seem to get fresh batches often. It smelled like freshly roasted beans as soon as you walk in. They also offer a 'tab' system where you pay upfront so you can come in on your busy mornings en route to work and just grab your joe and go. Great concept!

Excellent coffee to me critical. It is the first thing that starts my day, every day, since I was 7 so it is important it is the best experience possible. Java Joe’s coffee is absolutely the best. All of there coffee beans are immensely flavorful, with no after taste, no bitterness, no oil. Once you enjoy Java Joe’s coffee the bar will be set extremely high to enjoy a cup , beans, from anywhere else. Independently owned, staff could not be more helpful. Moved out of the area and have it shipped to me as I just couldn’t find anything that came close

Love this place. They have the best coffee, especially the Chocolate Truffle Mousse! Love that it's not some big chain store.

Small, aromatic store with wide selection of beans, coffee accessories, and imported candies. I love popping in for winegum treats from Europe. I can see how the staff has put off some of the other more negative reviewers. The gentleman I've been served by multiple times has an extremely chilled-out (bordering on disinterested) manner.

There are so many options for tea and coffee. It smells absolutely delightful inside. The person working the day I went wasn't very helpful and was on their phone the majority of the time, so I had to guide myself around the shop. Nevertheless, I found what I wanted and was very happy with my purchases.

Great coffee selection, worst customer service. The guy who works here is miserable. Love the older woman who runs the store.

Just a great hidden gem here in Park Slope. Great drinks awesome staff. A huge collection of coffee and tea items.

The moment you enter this spot, you’re inundated with the aroma of coffee beans. They have a great selection of teas and coffees. Their staff are very well versed in their range.

I forgot how great fresh ground coffee tastes. The selection is vast. The Black Magic is rich and smooth. Friendly service and lovely store!

Stop in and start a tab—I’ve been doing it for years and love not needing my wallet. It’s the friendliest, sweetest coffee shop in Park Slope hands down.

Happy little shop, kind of friendly staff. Kind of. Pumpkin oat latte is superb.

The place to go in Brooklyn for quality Brit tea and Cadbury’s. Great aroma, friendly and fun all round.

Have been buying coffee here for years Rosie and co. really take care of you and I always look forward to coming back for my refills

Recommended me a great selection of coffee beans. I went home and tried the bag I purchased, and it really hit the mark. Will be back!

Java Joe is a treasure. Their Black Magic beans make an excellent espresso and their Earl Grey loose tea is super flavorful. I've enjoyed various types of iced teas to go. The staff here are friendly and have great suggestions for new things to try. Highly recommended!

Best cappuccino I've had in bk and some truly excellent beans, which the barista perfectly ground for me. Excellent experience, can't wait to return

This is the dumbest (for lack of a better word) coffee shop I have ever been to. I should have known something was up when the two separate parties ahead of me left without buying anything. I walked in at 5:05pm. The rude little man behind the counter didn't bother to greet me so I took it upon myself to get his attention by saying hello. With no manners he abruptly responds "if you are looking for coffee, I'm cleaning the machines and I am not making any more." So my response "Wait, the shop is open until 6pm but closes the coffee machines for cleaning before 5pm?" He replied "yes." Duh, you are a coffee shop - I thought the point was to sell brewed coffee...? It was a one man show inside so my guess is that the guy was probably lazy and didn't feel like working until closing so he cleans up early so he can jet. I guess it was ok that they lost 5 potential sales in the 5 minutes while I was there. Maybe they don't need the business. Good for them. I love to visit small business in the area, especially trying the many coffee spots. I certainly won't bother wasting my time or money here though. Not when there are so many better options.

Walking into this shop you immediately smell the most heavenly coffee beans. It’s a bit of a caffeine oasis. The shelves are stocked with interesting coffee and tea flavors, and every tool you’d need to make the perfect cup. My favorite thing about Java Joe’s though is the attention given to the quality of their drinks. When I order an iced latte, they actually froth the cold milk. You can very much taste the difference here compared to other places!

Good selections of tea/coffee
