    Hava Java is a cozy coffee haven. Their brews are rich and aromatic, and the friendly staff adds to the charm. The relaxed atmosphere is perfect for a quiet coffee break or remote work. For a delightful coffee experience, Hava Java is a must-visit. Can't wait to return for more!

    The perfect local shop. Espresso is very smooth and well sourced. I am not sure what their house blend is but I had a quad shot whole milk lavender latte and it was divine. I walked from a local hotel and they are open very early 5:30 am so great place to go before your meetings start. There is plenty of parking, handicap accessible. And the baristas are extremely friendly and welcoming. There is local art posted on the walls available for sale from local artists whichi just love!

    I love the frozen Java, I add an extra shot in the medium sized cup. So good!

    Wow, what an amazing coffee house, independent and local. They’re on top of their game. Drinks are super high quality, coffee beans unbelievably fresh and yummy, actually healthy food choices, and the customer energy is off the charts! Impeccable service and the baristas are fun. It’s the kind of place you immediately become a regular. Great spot for meeting a client, catching up with work or reading, and getting your daily fix. Love all the high end sports cars out front!

    Neighborhood coffee shop where locals gather. Enjoyed the outdoor seating and meeting and visiting with friendly neighbors. First Visit and Loved this Place. I Love the Name and the Vibe is Great. Friendly, helpful service. Enjoyed the smooth drip coffee selections and they have Heavy Cream. Perfect. Great menu offerings. Something for everyone. Parking is good as it’s in a shopping center. Several Restaurants in this shopping center with Safeway grocery right in the middle. Definitely will return.

    Coffee is very good however there have been many times I have to walk out because the line is so deep and only 1 person is working. Speed of service needs to be figured out.

    Awesome little coffee shop with unique artwork on the walls, with some great coffee drinks and pasties. The service was fast, friendly, and surprise! The large drinks are really large. If I lived here I would visit all the time.

    Much better than Starbucks! Choose local. Remember, you get half price refills! What a good deal

    My experience here was so great! It was my first time and the barista was so welcoming and helped answer my questions. Their espresso is delicious and I got the Thin Mint Latte. The flavors balance out so nicely for an afternoon pick me up. Cute spot in the Biltmore area. Note - Drink came full but I drank some to try it out.

    I love their coffee. I can now say I've had all the breakfast burritos and each one is fantastic. Both the red and green sauce are wonderful and a very good addition to the burrito. Usually, you can get a good breakfast or good coffee but not both. Well now you can!

  • 5/5 Douglas M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great for meetings. Staff and coffee are excellent!

  • 5/5 Ilyssa 3 years ago on Google
    Only been to Hava Java a few times and have loved each visit. This place has a really great atmosphere and good coffee. Haven’t tried anything else on the menu yet. I see they take responsibility for feedback from other reviews, which is super awesome. Only downside is that this place isn’t closer to me! Will be coming back soon

  • 5/5 Ashleigh O. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is such a great find. I had the friendliest barista and such great foam art. This place reminded me of sitting at cute a cute cafe studying for my college classes and having a warm cup o joe, but the coffee is actually good here. 10/10 will be back.

  • 5/5 Antonio E. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee. Very professional service. Lot's of outdoor space available to read, write or study. Friendly people always around.

  • 5/5 Darian S. 2 years ago on Google
    First time caller/ Long Time listener, and "HAVA JAVA"-Biltmore location, didn't disappoint! Not only was the barrista, patient, kind and professional, she recommended a tasty "Ice Coffee Beverage", replete with Flavor! In addition, I, ordered the Potato & Egg Burrito, which, full transparency was scrumptious with a "Anthony Bourdain" quality! RATING: 6, YES, Six Stars 🌟 ! Cheers to all,

  • 5/5 Kasim A. 2 years ago on Google
    My new favorite coffee shop. Quin is an artist and puts real time and attention into everything he does. I love the outdoor patio and, despite always being busy, have never been unable to find somewhere to sit. You won't be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Liz 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee and fun atmosphere! Definitely worth a visit!

  • 5/5 David J. 2 years ago on Google
    The absolute hallmark of a neighborhood coffee shop. Most importantly the coffee is absolutely top drawer quality. Espresso is pulled with care and is so deep and complex. That, and the entire staff who are so friendly and welcoming, make this place a real highlight of my day. Excellent bagels and banana breads too when you’re feeling a bit naughty.

  • 5/5 Nick S. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent espresso coffee.

  • 5/5 Lee M. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow! This was a great find! The brewed coffee was fantastic! We also had the veggie ( vegan) breakfast burrito and zucchini bread and both were fabulous! Will definitely keep Hava Java in mind on our next trip to Phoenix!

  • 5/5 Kathryn P. 2 years ago on Google
    I was in the area for work. I'm no coffee connoisseur, usually just need the caffeine to get going. But the coffee here was so delicious that even I could taste the difference. I can see why it's a local fav!

  • 5/5 Geoff A. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great neighborhood coffee joint. Staff are always helpful and make drinks quickly.

  • 5/5 Kels M. 2 years ago on Google
    Never leave reviews but this place deserves it! So many yummy tea and coffee selections even for basic hot coffee drinkers like me. I love the macadamia flavor! The best part of my experience however is the amazing customer service by the gentleman working Sunday afternoon! He was so friendly to everyone in line and really left a great first impression. I’ll be back!! Love this place

  • 5/5 L W. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place! The parking sucks but for a good reason. We get the chai tea latte. Everything is good though. The baristas are always welcoming and will answer any questions. There’s out door seating.

  • 3/5 Miles T. 1 year ago on Google
    French roast coffee was bland and tasteless. Stopped in because of the good reviews. I was kind of disappointed. I may be that I have drank strong coffee for so long. Next I will try an espresso drink

  • 4/5 Justin M. 1 year ago on Google
    Neat atmosphere. Smores late was nothing special. Mostly just tasted like coffee with creamer.

  • 1/5 Eric S. 4 months ago on Google
    To be very honest - one of the most disappointing cups of coffee I’ve ever had. Tried their ‘gourmet’ drip and I’m not entirely sure it was actually coffee. Definitely do not recommend it. 9 month later follow-up as I see a response from Hava Java- If you're assuming I accidentally filled coffee with something from the hand sink - that may say more about your coffee than you think. The inherent issue with your product is that it was nearly $10 for two cups of 'coffee' which puts you into the 3rd Wave realm, but your beverage did not remotely come off with any hint of nuance, taste, or understanding of what it takes to get the most out of coffee. It's been a while, but I believe it was a single origin, and what it lacked in acidity, it more than lacked in general tasting notes. But if you can make $10 on two mediocre cups of coffee, I commend you for your business.

  • 5/5 Kaitlin P. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent iced coffee and super friendly people working there! The service was quick even when they were busy, but they also took the time to make sure they made our drinks just how we wanted them. We went every morning on our vacation and I miss it already.

  • 1/5 Rachel S. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been to this place numerous times and have had a great experience and the coffee has always been perfect, until today. I ordered 2 iced vanilla lattes with oatmilk and light vanilla syrup. When I got them they were way too sweet and super grainy. I waited in line and asked the barista if she could remake it, I tried to explain to her what was wrong with it but she grabbed the drinks from me and started talking to the next person in line while I was mid sentence, she didn’t say a word to me or even apologize. I understand mistakes happen but she was rude and the remake coffee we got was just as sweet and more grainy, probably because she didn’t bother to listen to what was wrong with it in the first place. Ended up spending almost $15 on coffee that we threw away. I understand that they are human and mistakes are going to happen especially when it’s busy, but after how we were treated today I won’t be back.

  • 5/5 Erica B. 10 months ago on Google
    Vegan burrito and the SALSA (red AND green) Surprinsly amazing!! Coffee was good too. Service super quick and friendly. Need to figure out a coffee that will be my go to... menu super limited. All around super awesome spot!

  • 3/5 Errant L. 6 months ago on Google
    Got a matcha latte, appreciate I could have it unsweetened, but the surcharge for non-dairy milk was $1, which is a bit excessive for the cost differential. Matcha wasn't very strong, but the service was nice. Other customers however were pushy and rude

    Blonde barista was on her game this morning. Have never seen such a fast, organized, friendly one-woman show like her. Latte was perfectly hot and delicious. Will be coming back!!!

  • 5/5 Angel Q. 4 years ago on Google
    Great local coffee shop!! Love their espresso and iced coffee drinks and their teas are good too. They have so many flavored options which I love and their iced coffee is not burnt tasting or acidic like some places tend to be, it’s so smooth I can drink it without milk which says a lot for me. I usually drive out just to get their coffee and it’s always tasty.

  • 5/5 Elijah D. 4 years ago on Google

    Our barista was super sweet. She was excited by my husband's drink challenge. He didnt know what he wanted but knew what flavors he was looking for. That made me smile as that is always a good sign. Will be back.

    Hava Java has the best coffee, but more importantly the best staff. They are so nice, and I always walk away feeling better. Great patio area, and the food is good. I’ve been bringing my kids there since they were born. It’s a wonderful tradition to grab coffee and pastries and enjoy some family time.

    Hava Java stands up as one of the best brunch places I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Initially walking through the doors, I was astounded by the vibe of the place. The creative decor set a really nice tone and made me even more excited to try the food. Just about everything I tried was delicious.
