About Java House

The downtown Java House is built for repeat visits: early coffee on the way to class, an afternoon at a table, or a quiet meeting in the middle of the city. Its Washington Street cafe is part of a larger locally rooted coffee operation, with beans roasted nearby and a menu that stretches beyond espresso into pastries, tea, and lunch-friendly options.
