Java Moon Cafe

On an early flight out of EWR and one coffee option near gate 30. My expectations were low and the americano I received was good! Strong with good overall flavor. I love being pleasantly surprised. They have a variety of snacks and breakfast sandwiches to grab for your flight. I wouldn’t order a latte or mocha as its going to be a wee bit of coffee and a whole lot of milk.

Coffee products are terrible. Employees aren’t the brightest or very polite (which isn’t surprising in the airport). There isn’t much in this part of the terminal. It’s overall the worst airport terminal I’ve experienced and I travel every week all over the country. Side note, be careful of the toilets. They flush constantly and splash all over the stall.

I imagine prison food would be rated 5 stars in comparison. The $ 5 breakfast ‘sandwich’ is an abomination.

I don’t think I’ve ever been served such terrible food/​drink. Employees were fast and nice but on to why we’re here. Ordered a small caramel latte. First one I picked up was lighter than normal. Started picking at the foam and realized it was only half full, if that! They immediately made a new one but it was mocha, not caramel. I didn’t bother with it. Waited to eat their «Now serving breakfast sandwiches.» Picture shows a croissant like sandwich but it’s actually ciabatta. I can live with that except the end pieces were stale — not just burned. I had to spit out a few pieces because it was so inedible. I was so hungry and disappointed all at once. Continue to wait at all cost to save some money.

The epitome of airport food and beverage. Low quality, expensive, and disinterested employees.

I never write reviews, but I was so impressed with the staff of this Java Moon I had to mention it. A man ahead of me had very specific expectations and started shouting what the cashier should have done with his order, and rather than argue with him she insisted on redoing his order. She handled it so well. Another staff member was exceptionally nice to me when I ordered a simple coffee. It stuck in my mind long after I boarded my flight and headed home.

Stopped here for a small cup of coffee for $ 3. It was nothing special, but just a step up from Starbucks coffee wise. When you are at an airport though you are kind of captive and limited with your options. I usually just try and wait until I get on the airplane, for at least it is free! Anyhow… hopefully I won’t fly into EWR again. wasn’t a great experience… yet that was largely due to Delta delays

My bacon, egg, and cheese cost almost $ 6. It tasted horrible and I immediately regretted that decision. Eat at the other shops close by.

NEVER order here if you want to catch your flight. Bottle neck at register with rest of staff facing back wall heads down so they’ll begin making your order whenever the jolly slooooowww cashier gets to you.

What can I say about EWR. Only good thing here is that oxygen is included when your inside the airport for free. Otherwise this airport is depressing and this mocha joint is bad, nothing here is fresh. The coffe is flat and it takes the «coffee guy» he should not be called a «barista,» over 10 min to make each latte or anything. omg so slow and unfriendly here as well

You can’t expect good food at the airport and this place is not an exception. I would stay away from salads and sandwiches unless you absolutely need to get something to eat.
This is the only decent place to get coffee and hot tea on terminal B. They have a great selection of hot teas. However, the taste was below average.
I also tried blueberry muffin here — it was too sweet, too dense and I could hardly find a blueberry in it!

This place is a potential gold mine and is certainly busy enough as it is, but I was one of three who left the live rather than order because it was so filth! There were Mike products out everywhere, multiple carafes used to stream and froth coffee. I never saw one cleaned, emptied or put in a sink. They just kept adding to which ever one was closest regardless of what was in and heated it up again! The frothing wand was thick with crusty goooo all the way to the bend.
They were plenty of people to help most just looking busy while only a a couple were doing all the work.

I ordered two of the sausage egg and cheese sandwiches and was handed two styrofoam containers before even getting to my coffee order. Bad sign. We took one look at those things and immediately threw them away. A disgusting egg-​like product smashed into dry, burnt cheese and a mushy ciabatta roll comprised this thing they had the balls to call a breakfast sandwich. The coffee was burnt beyond belief.
Avoid this place at all costs. I’d rather eat plane food or starve.

I’m not going to go into the depth I normally do since this business doesn’t warrant it, but in a nutshell this is some of the worst coffee I have ever had in my life and a double short latte cost me $ 6.24.
That’s quite a rip-​off for coffee spit out of a push button machine. Additionally their breakfast sandwiches are horrid. Greasy, stale bread, poor ingredients.
The sad thing about Newark is you are pretty much captive in the terminal so either you wait until you are on the plane or you suffer.

Solidly average. I ordered a vegetarian quesadilla, which was pre-​made and just heated up in the oven (so you get what you get — no customizations to remove any ingredients).
They were pretty nice, but the «2 minutes» was actually about 10.
The location is fine since its in terminal A, right in the middle of gates 30 – 39, but really there is nothing special about this place.

I was pretty appalled to see the changes to the concessions in EWR on my last trip through. No more Wok N Roll or Garden City Diner as I passed through the C concourse with a full belly. On my way back home, I got stuck at the A gates and there’s very little choice if you’re hungry.
Besides the weird Psychic Eye theme adorning everything and the bizarre coffee drink naming convention, Java Moon appears to have two lines that go to two different registers and I couldn’t figure out why there was a line on one side and no waiting on the other if they both served coffee and hot breakfast sandwiches. Perhaps that’s how they decide if you are worthy? Do you get your fortune told on one side? I picked the wrong one if so. The young non-​mystical guy manning the register couldn’t care less what my future held but I had to get something so I asked for the cheese twister breakfast sandwich at which he told me «no twister rolls, only ciabatta.» Okay. The sandwich they gave me was as indifferent as the service. Plus he dropped the change on the counter handing it back to me to avoid any possible hand contact. Nice touch.

Should have read the reviews– if I had, I would have skipped the tuna sandwich on grain bread (flavorless and dry) and gotten another muffin, which was decent though obviously overpriced.
On the plus side though, the guy and girl behind the counter were very polite and helpful.
There’s a whole section of their drink menu called «hot eruptions» …why?

Hot breakfast sandwiches, coffee drinks (hot and cold), cold fruit juices, cold wrapped sandwiches, small snacks, cold water bottles.
It’s a café in the airport. As such, don’t have such high expectations. It’ll be over-​priced, okay food, and decent service. The store will give you what you’ll need (to help satiate hunger or thirst), but it is not a gourmet café. It just gets the job done.
They do take credit cards, so that’s good. And the cashier will try and be as fast as possible, so that’s good, too.

There’s no way this place would still be in business without the location-​created monopoly they have here in terminal A.
First of all, it was 8:30 AM and they were already out of one of their 3 breakfast sandwich options. I settled for a 12 oz bottle of OJ and a sausage/​egg/​cheese sandwich, which set me back $ 8.32. I get that there’s going to be an airport markup, so I guess that’s okay.
Service was terrible, however. After I ordered, they sent me to the end of the counter to join about 8 other people waiting for their food. When the sandwiches became ready the staff member would simply yell out the name of the sandwich. Horrible system when there are a bunch of people waiting for the same exact thing!
Pro Tip for Java Moon Staff: USE THE RECEIPT NUMBERS. They are there for a reason.
After some confusion about which order belonged to who, and some douche bag cutting about half the line, I finally got the sandwich. It was about what I expected. Bread, egg, cheese, and sausage, prepared expertly in an industrial microwave oven. I didn’t hate it.
So yeah, in short, this place sucks. On the plus side though, they have a section on their drink menu titled HOT ERUPTIONS. I can only speculate on what that means.

Why even bother serving this shit to people? Oh I know, so you can make money out of it.
Worst quesadilla of my life, seriously.
