Hava Java

My job takes me all over the Valley, and each project I work on keeps me in the area for 3-6 months. So, I like to find a coffee shop to camp out at to work for a couple of hours a day. The coffee itself is a notch above most coffee shops. The gourmet coffee with a .25 refill is incomparable. The service can vary slightly depending on who's on duty, but it's always good. I want to give a particular shout-out to Pierce and Teya: Pierce for his patience and congeniality when I ramble on to him, and to Teya for her kindness and for reminding me to get my card punched every time. The burritos are pretty good, too!

The young lady who served me was friendly and energetic. Old world feel. A door wall opens and there are plenty of bird’s chirping .A great place away from business. I highly recommend it ☕️

Love this coffee shop! The staff is so friendly and is amazing at remembering their customers. The coffee is consistently good and the baked goods are amazing. The lavender latte is my personal favorite and all of their breads are fantastic. Skip Starbucks and buy local!!!

This place was so amazing! Emma is the cashier that helped us and she did a great job with answering any questions as well as giving recommendations. Other then that she was a great person to just have a conversation with and the rest of the customers around were very nice and seem to be enjoying their time as well.

Ordered an Iced Americano and I don’t think a shot got pulled? It came out within 50 seconds. Got a coffee that tasted like a teaspoon of ash was mixed in. I can tolerate Starbucks okay but I couldn’t finish a fifth of the drink. The barista was kind and was engaged in a lengthy “back in my day” conversation with an older gentleman.

Delicious and fast service! Plenty of parking and a warm local feel. I will definitely be back!

Got a matcha latte, appreciate I could have it unsweetened, but the surcharge for non-dairy milk was $1, which is a bit excessive for the cost differential. Matcha wasn't very strong, but the service was nice. Other customers however were pushy and rude

Awesome place. Loved the live music. Tasty food and definitely my new coffee addiction mother ship. 😁☕️

No doubt the weekday energy level at Hava Java is off the charts. Lots of meetings, retirees- unequivocally a great vibe. I was not a huge fan of the DIY drip which is why my rating is a 3. The food looked decent though.

Great coffee and smoothies. I've been here twice in the last couple of weeks and it's a good spot to study.

Hava Java was a treat! After a long hike, my pup and I went in search of some coffee and a pup cup. We found Hava Java on 32nd street and decided to try it out. I ordered an iced lavender americano with a splash of milk and a pup cup for my dog. I'm not sure if they are dog friendly so I left him in the car out front and could keep an eye on him through the big front windows. There is a spacious outdoor seating area and seating inside the shop, which is small but cozy. The barista was super friendly and we exchanged pictures of our dogs. I have 4 stars because the americano was a tad watery and the lavender was a little on the soapy side. I'll definitely go back whenever I visit the mountains in the area!

Fast and friendly service! Casual setting, perfect for grab n go in the morning, if you're running late. They have coffee granitas, if you that's your thing (which it is, for my hubby), but it is VERY SWEET. So, good for dessert.

simple, classy, clean, good burritos, good price, great coffee good service, not too big, cozy I like it

Best coffee in Biltmore area. Their cold brew is a bit bitter, but all of their hot coffee is smooth and flavorful. Cozy ambiance, and friendly staff.

One of my favorite coffee hangouts when in the neighborhood. Coffee is good and they can customize your order. They have inside or outside seating. Bakery goods are also available. Friendly service and good internet make this a happy place.

This place is my favorite cafe in the neighborhood. It hits the mark on all their items and the service is always incredible. I love coming here for that afternoon pick me up or that easy Sunday experience. It's a chill, laid back, and cozy place to hang out, do work, or even catch up with friends. You cannot got wrong with anything you order. Pick something from their menu or if you know what you like, tell the barista and they'll make it for you. Recommendations - Iced S'more's Lattes with Oat Milk - Java freeze - Any Tea - Regular Latte - Green Chile breakfast burrito

Best Coffee Shop in the valley hands down. Incredible customer service and the coffee is great too. I've been coming here weekly for years and never once have I been disappointed in the coffee or the employees (who always surprise me at how many customer orders they have memorized) keep it up!

Order the Mango smoothie, great taste and refreshing! I enjoyed the nice easy vibe inside, service was friendly. Would come back again.

Hava Java is the most popular coffee place in Arcadia. They know their product and they provide it at rapid pace, managing the long lines of thirsty and hungry customers.

Love the vibe! The iced Americano and breakfast burrito really was so delicious hit the spot!

Cute place! Was surprised I hadn't heard of this place until recently. It wasn't busy at all when I went and my chai was ready fast! I got a hot chai latte with almond milk. I do think it could've used a little more of the chai, it tasted a bit too watery/milky for my liking but was otherwise good. Would probably try a mocha or something next time but glad I got to come here!

I ordered a SF latte and it was amazing! Cute cozy spot that reminded me of the coffee shop in Friends. Service was alright, he was kinda rude. The latte made up for it and I'll definitely be back

GREAT COFFEE SHOP The AC and fans in here are so cold and strong! This is a great spot to chill on a laptop or read a book. There are some tables outside that would be nice during cooler months of the year. There is good quality free wifi, password "thankyou" The employee helping me today was friendly! My drink came out delicious with my addition of oat milk. I'll be back!

Hadn't stopped into Hava Javae in ages! But had just gotten a blowout at Drybar just next door and had to walk away with a coffee. They have an extensive menu and they're happy to really adapt to make you anything you want. I was greeted by both individuals in there and was quite chipper about it. On the left side of the pictured menu (which I will take A pic of next time) there seemed to be some specialty drinks, and as I was on a Zoom celebrating Hispanic Heritage month, I opted for a Mexican Mocha (which she let me know they add chocolate, cinnamon, and milk of choice to) with oatmilk. I noticed the oat milk is $1 more as opposed to the .75 for almond, soy, coconut alternatives. She said "it's a hot commodity these days" - she wasn't lying. Nonetheless, I grabbed a medium and it was a large plastic cup. The large is extra large, and the small still looks pretty sizable compared to other well known coffee spots... I always ask for light ice because I don't like my cup to be filled with ice more than coffee, and she was glad to do that, and asked for a smaller pump of chocolate, so as to watch my sugars. She made it quickly, and it was definitely yum. Wasn't the best Mexican mocha I've had but the cinnamon was wonderful. I couldn't tell you what was missing, don't get me wrong, it was definitely delicious but I was ok. It was so delicious in fact that I ordered another with an extra shot and half sweet for my friend as a surprise and she LOVED it. She said it was perfect and was absolutely going to wake her up. The service and coffee were tasty. And I heard a woman rant about how it was one of the first coffee shops open in Phoenix! So there is a long standing history with the place. Come try a cup, and try the Mexican mocha and let me know what you think!

Staff is friendly! Drinks are unfortunately not good. Matcha tea latte was almost pure milk. Didn't even look green at all and had no flavor. Chai tea latte tasted like tap water. Mocha latte was quite bitter. 2 drinks here cost just over 14$. Ended up tossing mine since it really was not good. Staff was nice however so I left a 3, but based on drinks a 2.

I came back after a couple of years since last time I visited and I wasn't impressed with my cappuccino, I ordered it with an additional shot and I still couldn't identify the coffee flavor at all. Maybe the young barista has not been properly trained. Or something else is happening here with the coffee blandness.

The coffee is avg and the woman taking orders doesn't seem to enjoy her job at all. They are busy, I'll give her that. But the lack of customer service is overwhelming. I wouldn't recommend if you want to see friendly faces behind the bar. They are just rude.

Coffee was ok, new barista was very nice and professional. Great location with plenty of parking. Why 3 stars ? I asked for a flat white not a Latte. Yes sir I do know the difference.

Overall a great place! I've been here twice now. Good place to study or hang out with some friends. Plenty of seating inside and outside. They have a great hot tea selection. However, their matcha is trash.

Awesome tea and coffee, so much better than Starbucks. They have so many diff flavors of teas, and the coffee is fresh and has a wonderful flavor. I just wish they had more locations.

Hava Java is a well known little neighborhood coffee spot that is great for coffee meetings, all kinds of beverages, and some lighter continental style food/snacks as well... With friendly staff, solid wi-fi, and moderate prices, you can't go wrong popping in for a bit, as I did one evening last week. I had an iced green tea on my recent visit, which hit the spot, especially with the warm temps we've been having. I've also had all kinds of coffee drinks, both hot and cold, from HJ, and never been disappointed. Since HJ is not far from where I live, work, and play, I am sure I will be by again soon.

I' m kind of new in Phoenix having moved from gorgeous San Diego a few months ago; so I've been checking out the neighborhoods. This mall looked pretty standard except for this unique, quirky coffee shop "Hava Java". It was nice to see a place with some personality as the area has a very corporate, standardized vibe. The Barista was very friendly and served me a delicious Italian roast coffee in a very large cup(always a nice thing for coffee fiends). The place is smaller than I usually like but there is comfy seating and the crowd is nice. I also liked the original artwork on the walls. The unique, cool vibe reminded me of the better coffee shops I use to patronize in Boston and Baltimore. I just had a coffee but the smoothies, breakfast burrito and desserts looked great for a later visit. Highly recommended.

Love this coffee shop! The coffee taste delicious and never disappoints! Highly recommend this place!

I've lived in AZ most of my loooong life, and had never been here before. Advertising as the oldest independent coffee shop in AZ, It is unique and I'm glad we stopped in. A quaint shop filled with local art, fresh baked goods and featuring a lovely patio, we were hooked! The barista assisted us with a custom brew and it was delightful! The cinnamon roll was also good, not overly sweet and big enough to share. We will be back!

Outstanding service! I did not get her name but the lone employee did it all with enthusiasm and cheer. Nice selection of fresh pastries; get them before they sell out daily. I highly recommend this location.

We are from out of state and have been in the Phoenix area for just under a week now. We found this coffee shop first morning we were here and have been back almost every single day since we got here. The espresso is truly phenomenal and the service is as well. We have been getting iced caramel macchiatos and honestly nowhere I've ever been even comes close to comparing. Thank you for being such a great spot and so welcoming!!!! I'm really going to miss this place when we go back home. SUPPORT LOCAL PHOENIX!!!!

Just a friendly local coffee shop. Good coffee and staff. Great vibe. I just feel at home there.

Had a 12oz latte. Nothing fancy but the coffee was great. Nice outdoor seating. Friendly service too

Ordered a SF oat milk latte and am obsessed! Such a cute place with friendly baristas. Definitely stop in if you need your small coffee shop fix and good coffee! Pastries looked delish as well

they made the kind of cappuccino that makes you so happy to be alive and even in arizona it feels like seattle but it's so good that that doesn't matter bc arizona has so many things to appreciate too and this cappuccino made me realize that

Love this place! They have some exotic specialty drinks, customized to your liking if asked. Service was quick and great- they were nice and helpful. The place itself is a little small, so if it's a crowded day, working here may not be the best place, but it's a pretty comfortable spot. LOVE that they have free coffee out on the counter, if you opt for that or just want to try. I'd definitely recommend their specialty drinks though. Definitely worth it.

AMAZING!!! The employees were so cool, so friendly snd helpful! This is the mocha Java. The best.

Good coffee, really small but lots of beautiful natural lighting. Baristas were efficient and gave good service. I got a fresh bagel too. Will try again

Come here often and the service is always friendly, timely and consistent. Great place for a meeting or leisurely hang. Skip the line at Starbucks and support local for your morning coffee pickup on the go.

Great vibe and great atmosphere. When you order the large nitro cold brew they are not messing around. I think they brought me a 32 ozer! LOL! Great morning on the patio with some new potential clients. I had never been here before. Found this spot by chance online.

I stopped in here for some coffee while waiting for an appointment next door. This is a pretty standard looking coffee shop with a good tea and coffee selection and also kombucha and nitro cold brew on tap. I ordered a standard small cappuccino ($3.75), which was a solid cappuccino. The prices here are pretty standard for a coffee shop in the area. I don't know that I would particularly go out of my way to come here for coffee, but it was a nice place to try nonetheless.

The red chile breakfast burrito was AMAZING. Seriously a must try! I would post a picture, but i devoured it too fast

Decided that we needed to try as many coffee houses as we could in our short trip to Phoenix. This was close to where we were staying so it was on our list of places to try. Parking is available but is in short supply most of the time. There is enough outside seating for a whole bunch of people. There are two patios, one in the front and one around the back. The one around the back is for smokers (yucch!). The inside is small but the baristas have enough room to make you a wonderful cup of coffee. There are outlets for your computer of smartphone inside. The baristas are very helpful and will serve you exactly what you ask for. Great local coffee house.

One of my goals while in town was to try several locally owned coffee shops. This one was on the radar based on all the Yelp reviews with interesting comments and its location. I ordered an almond milk latte and was impressed to see the option of not only that but coconut milk as well. Not being a fan of coconut water, I decided to play it safe but might give it a try in the future. There is an additional charge for almond or coconut milk, but the barista pointed that out when I ordered, which was very nice of her. It also clearly stated it on the menu. There are both indoor seating and outdoor seating on both sides of the place. We tried both only because the side with the parking lot was a bit cold in the shade that morning. Warning: the street side outdoor seating appears to be the smoking side but was in the beautiful sunshine. No ceramic cups for the coffee, however, only to-go paper. Having this option creates a need to have a machine that cleans those cups to health standards, so maybe that isn't an option. Perhaps, there is a bring your own cup option that I don't know about. Overall, a pleasant experience.

Coffee is okay, it could be better and it has been better. Actually great but it all depends on what mood the baristas are in. Stay away from the skinny girl with short hair. She'll get upset with you, if you ask her to remake a drink. And she'll throw change at you if you ask her to add an extra shot because you're not happy with your drink. I usually order a Carmel latte, this time I got nothing but milk and asked her to add a shot if she wasn't able to remake it, she rudely said only if you're paying for it? Of course I am. I paid for it and she threw the change at me. It's a great place to hangout and the coffee is usually great. But because of this experience I am never coming back. I love staying local, and supporting small businesses but I am never coming back!!! This experience was it for me.

I love a place that has a neighborhood vibe partnered with a friendly, happy staff. To boot, the coffee is much cheaper than some national chains and I would say it is better! The inside is quaint, clean and cozy. Logistically, it may not be set to the best and most efficient, but somehow it makes it feel more homey. They also have a nice patio area out front. Parking is not an issue (used to be on occasion when all the surrounding businesses were open). Support local business! I recommend giving them a try if you have not, as you won't be disappointed. This is what other coffee places want to be when they grow up. :) Enjoy y'all!

The coffee here is amazing and the service is fantastic. The barista was more than willing to help me figure out the coffee I wanted with it being the first time being there. If you are craving a fall themed drink, you have to try a Latte with maple and pumpkin syrup with oat milk. It was amazing!

Hidden gem! Amazing coffee! Have worked next door for years and I just found this place. Never going to Starbucks again. Mocha Java was amazing.

Hava Java will be my new forever study spot! I love that it is a no-nonsense spot with excellent coffee and a low-key vibe. The cafe au lait was delicious, and after studying for a while I was thankful that food (bagels, yogurt/ granola, etc) was also available! Don't expect any coffee shop pretense here. The baristas were very friendly and solicitous. Refills on the same visit are half price, or $.25 if you get a coffee, so it feels like they don't mind if you stick around for a while. There aren't a ton of tables, but there are plenty of outlets available and a nice patio in the front. Also, this place is spotless. When I arrived, the chairs were all cleaned off and pushed in, the tables were clean, and the floor was swept. The staff/ ownership obviously cares about making sure customers are comfortable. I will be back!

Best breakfast burrito in town with the best coffee!! Great customer service. So happy that we found this place right in our hood! Awesome place!

What a cute little coffee shop located in the middle of a shopping plaza. I had some time before my manicure appointment, so I trotted over here to get a cup of hot coffee. The coffee shop is really cute and the people working there were really nice and friendly. I had a mocha which was delicious and I decided to have one of the bagels. Both of these items were just as good as expected. By the way, this is one of the top in the area according to the advertisement in the restaurant. I would definitely go back here again, and they gave me a punch reward card. On the 10th order, you get a free cup of coffee. Free is always nice :-) Plenty of parking in the strip plaza and they have a nice outdoor patio, that they share with this gelato store next-door.
