Java Junction

I work nearby, so this is one of the handful of food options within walking distance. It’s also one of my least favorite of said options so, while I do go from time to time, it’s very much not someplace I visit all that often.
The food is okay, but it’s nothing special. There have been several times when I’ve gotten a sandwich or dessert that hasn’t tasted quite as fresh as you’d expect it to be, and overall I haven’t been that impressed by anything that I’ve had there.
Their coffee and tea options are quite good, which is their saving grace. I love their Chai tea, and it’s a lovely treat when it’s cold outside. Still, there are better options located in the area, unless you’re specifically craving something from their menu.

Was very eager to try this place. Very disappointed when at 2:15 I walked up to the door to find they had closed early. Posted hours were 8:00 — 3:00. I wanted to support a local business, but instead went to Starbucks because they stay open as advertised.

I agree with my fellow Unilocalers that this place falls short of its potential. Such a great location and beautiful building. I believe the proprietors are missing something in the translation. That may not be PC but it rings true like the bell on that old locomotive next to their store!

I’ve lived in Olde Towne a long time and I have always loved their sandwiches. There egg, cheese, and sausage sandwich are particularly good. They have fresh quality veggies and the owners are very nice. Overall to the people who are not satisfied completely with this quaint shop, sorry its not like you precious Starbucks with their «gourmet pastries». The pastries are great for the record and there coffee taste good to me. If any of you go for one, try the Caramel Macchiato, one of my favorites when I go in. You can also find italian soda, smoothies, bubble tea, and more.

This «vintage» little brick station by the tracks right in Olde Town Gaithersburg could be a super coffee and sandwich shop. We lunch there often mainly because, in nice weather, we can sit outside under big umbrellas, and wait for the trains to pass as we eat by the tracks. It’s a bit of thrill worth enduring the noise. But the coffee is no big deal, the sandwiches are big and taste okay, but made with processed meats, etc., and the salads, cakes, cookies and chips are packaged in plastic — more like fancy fast food. Nonetheless, it’s worth a visit.

This place is so quaint and has so much potential, yet spoiled by the very soul of it’s business, coffee. I came here hoping to find a great local coffee shop filled with unique coffee tastes and delectable treats and instead found weak generic coffee and shelves of food easily found at your local 7 – 11. I suppose it works if you’re stuck waiting for the Marc some cold Monday.
