All good vibes at more than Java cafe. I ordered the jerk chicken and egg breakfast sandwich on coco bread and it was so good! It was nicely seasoned, very flavorful and made with love. The customer service here is impeccable. I will definitely be back.

This place was an incredible find. The food was unique and delicious. The service was incredible. Everyone was friendly with a smile. And the location was a great place to get some work done. Highly recommend, as I think this would be a great place for brunch or just a meal, in general.

I've dined here twice and had such a great experience! They have some of the best customer service here I've ever experienced! Amazing people for sure. I love the atmosphere as it's very earthy and calming! Both times I've dined here was for brunch. This time, I ordered the Belgian waffle platter with turkey bacon (the good kind!), scrambled eggs, and grits. All of it was sooooo good, especially the waffles! Very soft and fluffy, yet flavorful! You get a good portion size for a reasonable price on all the food. I highly recommend dining here!

Amazing Experience at More Than Java Café! I had an incredible experience at More Than Java Café! The customer service was top-tier from the moment I walked in. Ronnie, my cashier, was extremely helpful in guiding me through the menu and made a great recommendation. He was super friendly and served with an epic smile, making my visit even more enjoyable. I ordered the Jerk Chicken, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich with an iced coffee, and both were absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the sandwich had the perfect kick of spice. My coffee was just right—smooth and refreshing. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding service.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a baby shower at this incredible venue, and I can't stop raving about the experience. From the moment we walked in, the space was warm, inviting, and beautifully designed, perfect for such a special occasion. The staff was incredibly accommodating, making sure every detail was taken care of to ensure everything went smoothly. The coffee was outstanding. Rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed, it was clear they take great pride in their craft. We also indulged in a variety of delicious treats from the bakery, and each bite was a delight. The pastries were fresh, flaky, and bursting with flavor. As for the food, I can honestly say it was some of the best I’ve ever had. The salmon was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, and paired wonderfully with the sides. Every dish was bursting with fresh ingredients, expertly seasoned, and prepared with care. This venue provided the perfect setting for a memorable baby shower, combining fantastic food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to host an event or simply enjoy a meal. Truly exceptional!

The breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito my husband and I got was nothing short of phenomenal! Everything was perfectly seasoned! The salsa on the vegan breakfast burrito was full of flavor! The vegan sausage was so juicy and I am so happy they added spinach and fresh tomatoes to the sandwich it elevated it so much. Often times places fill breakfast burritos with extra cheese which some may like but I don’t prefer it so I really enjoyed the freshness of the veggies. My husband got a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel and he could not stop talking about how good it was. Whoever made the sandwich made it like they were making it for themselves. It was THAT good and they added plenty of delicious bacon to top it off. I also got a mango lemonade which was hands down the best lemonade ever. My husband ordered a green machine and was convinced there had to be added sugar because it was THAT good! My only complaint is that the store isn’t closer to my house. We were immediately greeted each time we walked in and the guy working at the register seemed genuinely appreciative of our visit. I can’t wait to go back!
