Great affordable coffee shop on CSUF campus. My favorite drink is their raspberry iced tea. They also offer great snacks like croissants and bagels. Their service is extremely fast! Plenty of tables outside to sit on and enjoy your drink/food.
I got an iced chai since I saw two reviews on here say it was good. Well idk how their tastebuds are but to me it tasted like it was made from the Oregon chai powder. I think they use powder because my first sip out of a mini red stir straw lol I forgot to ask for a straw, (do they not give straws automatically?)was lukewarm! Then I stirred it up and it became iced so all good. The cashier was friendly to all and asking how’s your first week going etc. I didn’t know there was a pick up window so I stayed there listening to her until another customer came to order and I asked where I get the drink and turns out there’s another side to wait at! Mind blown. Yea can you tell I’m new

I stopped by for some Thai tea, I rate it a 3.5/5 on flavor. I also picked up their chocolate chip cookie which was good.

their drinks are actually terrible, maybe they don’t listen or just can’t make it but I got a hazelnut latte not too hot and of course it’s scorching and there is no flavor of hazelnut, it just tastes like a hot americano. Don’t waste ur time and money here

Nice little on-campus café, a great alternative to starbucks if you want to try something different. They also have a large variety of drinks to try, including a monthly special. I recommend trying their strawberry matcha latte if you want something sweet.

Love coming here - they have the best chai lattes I've ever had, and their other drinks are excellent too!
The matcha bombs HIT with caffeine, it brought my heart rate up by 40 bpm but that goes to show that it works!!

Been attending CSUF for 4 years now and never tried this place. My goal is to finish classes and go home but my GF bought me coffee so I can stay on campus longer... it worked! The shop is a little hut located between the Humanities building and Gordon Hall. I liked the matcha green tea because the flavor wasn't overpowering and tasted more sugary. The Vanilla Latte was great and honestly a top latte that I've had. Bagel was burn't but still good. Recommend both drink! Tips: theres tables all around and line can be long, just depends if it's passing period or not!

I visited Aloha Java for the first time this morning and had a pleasant experience. I've been working at CSUF for a couple years now and I still never got a chance to stop by until today! There was two people in line. One girl had a longer transaction but it was maybe because she had to get gift cards. My coworker and I ordered and I decided to get a hot small matcha green tea which came out to be $4.00. I thought the small is a little too small (LOL) but this drink and others were pretty reasonably priced. Our drinks were prepared rather quickly and you pick up in the back. My matcha green tea was just alright haha. It was rather sweet. I had ordered with light whipped cream but my drink didn't taste like quality fresh, matcha but more like a generic powder. It also tasted very vanilla, which I've grown to not enjoy as much. Overall the drink was okay, I think I'll definitely try to stick with the coffees next since they seem to have a great selection! Note: There is a 4% Customer Service Charge applied to all Credit Card transactions so my drink was $4 flat when I paid in cash. Overall, my experience for the drink was more of a 3-3.5ish star, rounded up to 4 for the nice staffers/customer service. I'd come back but maybe not get the matcha and get a coffee instead.
