Java Jo’s

Consistent and delicious Americano to start my morning right. The baristas are always so friendly and get my order right every time. When I’m in the aves or want a quick drive through coffee I really like this coffee shop. The coffee beans used for espresso have such a great flavor. I highly recommend this place for a quick cup of jo.

This place for some reason is very arrogant for bleh coffee. I have given them chance after chance, and on my last visit, there was a bad taste left in my mouth, but it wasn’t the coffee. I used the walk up and had my dog on a leash with me, it was early they were busy, there wasn’t anywhere to leash up my fury friend. My dog being a dog jumped up and had his paws resting at the walk up window, when the snarky barista came up to the window to take my order. He sort of walked away while I was ordering, a girl came to the window and gave my friend a treat, placing it on the counter my dog jumped up to get his bone. Just then the snarky barista came back and barked at me to get my dogs paws off the counter, to my reply I said that he was just given a treat. His reply was, «Well next time, we’ll put it on the ground.» He was so rude, that my reply was what a, dick. I left without paying and without my coffee, I will never
be back! Word of advice Java Jo’s your coffee is amateur, your service terrible, the only thing you have going is location. You should try to be good at, at least one of these qualities!

Easily my favorite coffee in SLC. Iced coffee is amazing and so are their lattes. The little espresso beans they give you with every drink is the perfect touch too ;)

The coffee drinks are good but wish the espresso drinks had a bit more espresso flavor. The espresso flavor gets a little lost if you order any drinks with flavored syrups. The flavored drinks are a little too sweet for my taste so I typically stick to ordering an Americano.
I do wish they had better pastry options and in my opinion they are worth passing on.
It’s a convenient place to stop for coffee because it’s a drive through. Service is typically friendly and drink orders delivered promptly. I do enjoy the complimentary chocolate covered espresso bean that accompanies my order!

Love this little place, their hazelnut iced coffee is amazing. The staff is also friendly and provides pretty speedy service.

The reason I first came to Java Jo’s is because they’re open when I need coffee. The reason I keep coming back is because their drinks are consistent regardless of who is making it. Equally as nice are the baristas that are smiling and appear happy to be there.
It wouldn’t be surprising to pull up and notice a few cars parked waiting for a drink but they are pretty quick so the line doesn’t last for too long.

It must take a lot of brain power to bring your dogs to work, leave them in the back of a truck and let them bark at every single customer that drives through! What an establishment! Ha!
Can’t wait to give you my order three times because you can’t hear it over both dogs barking. Leave the dogs at home!

I go to the Java Joe’s in Cottonwood Heights. The drinks are consistently most excellent!!! I have friends and relatives from out-​of-​state who come to Utah more for Java Joe’s drinks/​coffee than for friends and relatives. I just won’t move further away than a mile :-) A shout out to Billie who is such a joy … but I’ve never had bad service.

Stumbled across this place because I was trying to find Red Butte Creek and instead it said that this place was over Red Butte Creek. I didn’t mind the fact that we got lost because this place is pretty neat! The employees were very kind and helpful and I ended up getting a salted something… I forget the name. It was very delicious! If I lived in the area this place would be my go-​to place for a nice little coffee date.

Bonus for the location and ease of access, but gotta knock them on quality.
Mocha had an oily aftertaste and cheap powdered chocolate mix was suspected. Suspicions confirmed when I got to the bottom ¼ of the cup and met a nigh undrinkable, chalky sludge of cheap, cloyingly sweet cocoa mix flavor.
Prices are a bit lower than you’d expect, but I’d pay another 50¢ gladly for some real chocolate syrup that actually mixed welll. Hot chocolate is made with water and powdered mix. Wife’s latte was average.

I was skeptical of Java Jo’s at first. I don’t know why. Probably just because I didn’t think something so delicious could come out of a place so tiny. I was wrong. Dead wrong! What really made me want to write a review was, because of what happened earlier today; a friend and I went to the Java Jo’s on 9^th East across from Wal-​Mart. A newer employee, «Emma», had only seen us ONE time before… and guess what? She remembered what we ordered. She remembered our freaking orders… after seeing us ONE TIME!!! OMG. Amazing. Their Frozen Salted Caramel is THE BEST I’ve ever had. Get it with or without white chocolate… you won’t be disappointed.

This is my go to coffee shop. The location is amazing, I can walk here from my house. I always ALWAYS get the white rabbit (preferably iced). It’s not on their menu but everyone has to try it, there’s a hint of raspberry and it’s not too sweet… very refreshing! The baristas are super nice and friendly here, they don’t rush you or look annoyed if you’re taking a little longer to order. I also love the convenience of the drive thrus because there are some days where I don’t want to walk in a Coffee shop in my PJs.

I love these guys! Their iced tees and coffees are the best. Try enchantment or iced mint tea with a stevia.

I used to frequent the Java Jo’s on 13^th E, but ever since I moved, the Avenues location has just been more convenient. I only ever get one drink at Java Jo’s — the Ivory Mocha with low fat milk, light ice. There are a couple baristas here who know my drink order and make it good consistently (Side-​bar, service here is great! They are always friendly, and run out to your car if you end up in that 2^nd lane). I don’t know if they have been hiring/​training recently, but the consistency has definitely gone down. One time, my drink was so sweet I almost gagged, and had to water it down with coffee when I got to work — coffee that I had to PAY FOR, UGH. Another time, my drink came and I swear it was all milk. The color usually looks like a toasted graham cracker, but instead came out looking like beige cardstock. The problem with a drive-​through place is that by the time I get to sip my drink, I’m already a couple blocks down, booking it to work. U-​turning at that point and forcing the poor noob to fix my drink would be just too much work. I just wish they would be able to set down standards for anyone new they hired — it’s been to the point where I’m kind of scared to taste my drink because I’m already wondering which barista made it. I loved this place but you could say Java Jo and I are «on a break», Ross-​Rachel style.

P. s. — Java Jo and I are back on

Best coffee in SLC! Can’t even make home brew anymore. Americanos are the best. Friendly staff.

Perhaps my favorite thing about The Kramer (the surgary, delicious drink I get every time I stop by Java Jo’s) is the chocolate covered coffee bean they put on the lid of the drink they hand me. The staff is always fast and friendly. If I’m going to overpay for a sugary coffee drink, it’s gotta be Java Jo’s!

I’ve been going to the Java Jo’s in the avenues for years so I decided it’s time I finally write a review of one of my favorite coffee places. I love it because it’s close to home, super quick, and the the coffee is delicious. Oh and the staff is awesome.

I always get the frozen mocha. It’s not bitter, with a good sweet flavor. The customer service is great. Best coffee shop around.

Let’s just say… they have great, GOOD LOOKING, service.
sighhhh.

What? I haven’t written a review of this place yet? How on earth did this happen?
I’ve been going to Java Jo’s for nearly 4 years, and I came here to update my review… to downgrade it, actually. However, it turned out I hadn’t written one already… so here goes:
Java Jo’s was wonderful. Was. There is a reason I’ve been going there for 4 years. It’s a great, fast, friendly place to get a decent latte at 6 AM. I work very early, so Java Jo’s means a lot to me, and is probably largely responsible for my career seeing as I would have been fired long ago without their caffeinated help. A month ago, they would have gotten 5 stars.
However, they changed something. The beans, the roast, something… and it just is not good anymore. At first, I thought it was me — I switched to soy — but alas, it’s not that. Also, there is one guy who always gets something wrong… (gave me an iced latte… in the middle of a snowstorm? I didn’t ask for iced. WTF??? Stuff like this happens with him all the time.) so if you’re there and ordering from a tall, thin, red-​haired guy, make sure you check your order before you leave. He’s been there for a while, but the iced latte incident was the «straw the broke the camel’s back» in many ways.
I plan on going back in a bit… but I’m officially taking a break from my #1 commute coffee joint. Maybe they’ll fix whatever the problem is in the meantime, in which case I’ll update this review and write about all the other wonderful things about them like how great the rest of the staff is, especially Alex and Emily, who never get my order wrong!
Until then, I’ll be hunting for a different place as I’m tired of paying for bad lattes… as much as that pains me, because I really really really really liked Java Jo’s before it went south recently.
