Coffee roasts are very consistent and quite good. Do not recommend their food on the whole. Most times when I stop in I get the feeling that the workers are deeply and legitimately annoyed that I came in to buy something.

Great coffee, tremendous food. An Iowa City staple that is a must if you are visiting.

This is my FAVORITE Coffee Stop! I also LOVE the food, especially the soup!!! When my kids were YOUNG, as in, 2-3 years old (they are in their 20's now), I'd take them to The Java House A LOT, and my husband and I would go there after Church while our kids were in Sunday School. I have great memories, and continue to go there whenever I am in town!!

Java house-Heirloom used to be my favorite coffee house in Iowa City. I've been a loyal customer for 7 years-- but I will not come here again. I got disappointed with services they provide as time goes by. I could tell they reduce the portion of the size and asking for more money. They are not used to like this in the past. The image I attached: cup of soup was $4.44. I mean I would be okay if the portion size was big enough to pay that amount of money. It used to be black color cup with bigger portion. Every friends of mine saying that they're recently more focused on making money rather than providing good services. In addition, I used to use an java house application on my phone and sometimes they gave a promotion, but they no longer use application and changed the transaction system ridiculously. I'm not a big fan of java house anymore. I would rather go to Starbucks these days. I was a big fan of java such a long time and it was a big disappointment! Shame on you! Please go back to basic java-heirloom!!

Their Tiramisu is amazing. My fiance's favorite dessert in the world is in this small town coffee shop... literally. She's been all over the world and nothing compares to it for her. Their coffee is solid as well. Its where a lot of U of I students meet up and study.

Much freindlier staff than a they had a few months ago, very clean, great tasting food and beverages. It is at coffee shop prices but coffee shops have price points and they are competitive with starbucks and caribou

Favorite coffee shop in Iowa City, excellent drinks, snacks and service! Love the Green Caffine selections.

Came by here early in the morning right at opening to get some work done before the day started. I decided I would treat myself to a nice coffee and breakfast while I was here. Parking: This Java House is in a small shopping center, so there was ample parking. Ambiance: I liked the ambiance of the place. Lots of wood, so it felt natural. There was ample lighting and plenty of seating with outlets for me to get some work done. There are signs that say 1 hour seating, but it was not busy that early and they did not enforce it at the time. I am not sure if they would enforce it if it ever got that busy. Food and drink: For coffee, I got the Mexican Chocolate Cold Brew with Sweet Cream. For food, I got the Spicy Southwest with chorizo and substituted the English muffin for croissant, which they were more than happy to do. Both came out in a timely manner. The Mexican Chocolate Cold Brew was delicious and refreshing, but it does have a spiced kick to it for those who are not into that. The Spicy Southwest was not too spicy though, so feel free to order it if it piques your interest. It was still warm, had a delicious sauce to it, and I had to consciously tell myself to eat it slowly or I would have scarfed it down otherwise. Service: Incredibly friendly staff. Made small talk with one of the baristas about the gaggle of geese that were right outside the window. A hundred percent would come back! I am craving the Spicy Southwest as I write this!

Good coffee and good breakfast sandwiches, with a comfortable seating area inside. It's a great breakfast stop if you're in the area.

I had a terrible experience here about a month ago. It just really wasn't enjoyable- bad enough for me to remember it a month later. The service was awful, the barista gave so much attitude and made it almost feel like it was my fault he had to clock in that day. I always treat people doing me a service with a lot of respect and kindness, so my feelings were hurt when he responded to that with the opposite energy. Then he proceeded to make me the worst chai I've ever tasted. I couldn't even drink it. Extremely bitter and somehow lukewarm. I haven't returned to the Java House since.

This is a wonderful place to study, meet someone or even just for some quiet time. It wasn't too loud, and the music is also not so loud or distracting. There are many different kinds of sitting arrangements, with sufficient outlets as well.

Java House is a great coffee and meeting place! Great coffee! The thing I have noticed the most is the consistency of the staff and the interaction I have. Always helpful and friendly. I get the same experience every single time! The coffee is consistent as well!

I think the baristas name is Andrés, he is amazing. I have not gotten the confidence to ask him if that's his name and if so, anytime he works could he please make my drinks. He has always delivered consistent, delicious drinks. I have had other batistas and the drinks are not the same. I hope that he stays around for a long time, and if he gets this...I am usually in with my mom and we make it our Saturday treat to kick off the weekend!

Perfect place to hang out and stop for a break. Food and coffee are incredibly amazing.

Best coffee in Iowa City. You can never go wrong with anything there but my favorite is the dark chocolate frappe with an extra shot. If you want something hot their mochas are great.
