We absolutely love visiting for a takeaway coffee and the homemade cakes are delicious. Our walks along Granchester meadow are made even better with a Java coffee.

We booked the Java Coffee Club to come and do a coffee and cake pop up at our workshop as a treat for all our staff. Claire couldn't have been more helpful and provided an incredible selection of delicious home-made cakes and hot drinks for everyone, just what we needed on a chilly Monday morning! We'll definitely be booking them again in the future!

Gorgeous coffee, mother loves the cakes, especially the blonde,. Rob is lovely, always ready to listen or laugh, and goes the extra mile... Perfect spot if you're walking to Grantchester or just watching the world go by.

A great coffee, very friendly proprietor. Sitting on the side of the road doesn't detract from the experience.

Based inside the distillery, absolutely delicious coffee. Ordered an oat flat white and it was so smooth. Only one barista who was very friendly, so expect to wait as a line formed very quickly! Only outdoor seating available. The sweet treats on offer were very tempting so will have to go back to try them sometime. Dogs welcome as well.
