Java House Cafe

The atmosphere is welcoming. The interior has tables and couches. I’ve seen people on their laptops, so they probably have wifi. They have ice cream and breakfast entrees.
However, I was shocked at an unwelcoming response I received. I ordered a senior coffee which had been $ 1 for some time. I was surprised that the order came to $ 1.35, so kindly asked why the increase. The exact response was «because we have too many seniors». Wow, what a kick in the shins, not to mention rude and insulting. My guess is that the owner has said that there are too many seniors but the youngish lady at the counter didn’t have the skills to convey the message in an acceptable harmless way. Either that, or they really don’t want seniors as customers and hire the rude ones to make it known. Not sure.
It’s too bad because this is an otherwise comfortable place to visit and I don’t mind paying the $ 1.35 for coffee, but life is too short to give my business to people and an establishment who doesn’t want or deserve it.
Biggby, on the other hand, has great coffee and a fun staff.

I love this local coffee house. I have never experienced rudeness from any of the staff or owner. My husband and I have gone here to listen to the live musicians and had a great time!
Coffee is always great too!
After reading some of these negative reviews, I’m starting to think that some of those people have ulterior motives.

Incredible coffee! The vanilla is my favorite. Too bad they don’t have Keurig cups.

2 stars for the super pleasant physical environment. 0 stars for my horrible Chai, and my wife’s bitter coffee.
As a lesbian couple in South Lyon, we have been surprised to receive overwhelmingly warm and accepting service from every place in town except Brown’s, and this place. While the service at Brown’s was openly unfriendly, here at Java House it was simply bristly. Maybe that was me reading into things, but I assume with all the Christian references in this place, that it may be related to their religion, which is a pretty crappy way to be. Anyway, we didn’t try the food since we were so underwhelmed with our drinks.
Too bad this place doesn’t focus on customer service because they could knock it out of the park in that area.

Such a cozy little place to grab a morning or even late night coffee or tea. Friendly service and inviting atmosphere. The mellow music and warm drinks will make you feel right at home! Additionally they have a lounge type area with couches to lack back and enjoy a treat with friends! Amazing local business.

Service isn’t full of fake, perky «make it a great day» masked corporate policy… but just laid back, low key… but still warm if you need something…
Great atmosphere… coffee is much better than Bigby, but that’s not saying much… but haven’t even tried all the types they offer yet.
The live entertainment adds a great dimension if you can catch it.

Great selection of steeped teas! Very friendly service. Comfortable, inviting and unique atmosphere. I also bought a handmade purse… Beautifully crafted and only $ 12! :-) I will be back to entertain their guests as a singer-​songwriter on May 8! :-)

I used to go here a lot and never found the female owner to be rude as some reviews state. She usually had something to chat about and kept it short and sweet. The lattes were great, the atmosphere was pleasant and I like the fireplace. The prices seemed in line with other local competitors.

I have been to Java house many times. It has a great area for studying or meeting with a friend. I enjoy the Christian music they play. Unfortunately the coffee is pretty bad and they often do not have ingredients for the sandwiches they advertise. None of the employees are rude but they are not really friendly either. I really want to like this place but the product and the service make me pick the other places in town first.
