Java House offered a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle. Compared to other locations, this one had a particularly calm and inviting atmosphere. I opted for the "Tedster" drink and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I got the “Maho” I think it’s called and it’s chocolate coconut made with coconut milk. I don’t know what magic they are doing, but it is the best drink I may have ever had Starbucks who!!!!!!

Great staff and quick service. The coffee has great flavor to it, and their food options are much higher quality than you’d get at Starbucks or Dunkin’. Even though it’s cold brew, don’t be afraid to order a hot drink!

Staff was cheery. The place was clean and professional. Unfortunately, the actual coffee was utterly terrible. Both the ethiopian coffee my wife got and the brewski I got tasted sour and spoiled. I can usually power through bad coffee, but not this. Ended up tossing both cups. Total waste of time and money.Edit based on feedback: Cold brew does not give you a sour and spoiled taste. Bad milk products do. I have drank enough of both to know the difference. Also, how are you making cold brew hot? A concentrate? No legitimate coffee house should do something like this. It isn't unorthodox or different, its just lazy and gross. For as much as it looks like this place spent on decor, they could have at least splurged on an actual espresso machine or two.

I went through the drive-thru at 7:30 AM, and I was welcomed with fantastic service. The inside looked immaculate from my car, and the building is new and nice.I ordered the hot Honey Baby with Oat Milk, but it was not good at all. It almost tasted like the milk was old and expired? It had very little honey or cinnamon taste, but it had a lot of weird citrusy flavors. I’m disappointed that I spent $7.50 on a bad coffee. :(Service was great, but the coffee was just plain bad.

Absolutely never again. When I received my tedster it was way too bitter with way too much syrup in it. Plus the countertops were super sticky and the workers seemed absolutely miserable.

I love Java House. I'm so glad to see more of them popping up around Indy and even in West Lafayette! Their coffee is amazing and although I like a specialty drink, I often just end up getting their Columbian, hot. It's so flavorful and not too bitter than I can almost drink it without adding anything to it (I typically like my coffee to be saturated with cream and sugar haha). I almost always get their sausage sandwich because it's delicious!! Service is typically pretty good although I have had a couple of experiences with new employees that obviously didn't know what was going on. I love the look and feel of the space, it's very welcoming and there's lots of indoor and outdoor seating. It's also very convenient to get to and I pass it once a month on my way to a work meeting so you know I always stop on those Mondays!!

The staff was friendly. The beverage was good the only thing with the atmosphere is the machine that I'm assuming does the nitro is really loud when engaging in conversation while dining in. Also pretty intense sunlight early in the morning. Could maybe benefit from some light sensitive blinds.

This by far is the worst location in the city. I unfortunately live by this one so I always kick myself in the butt when I go because I'm craving it. I absolutely love the rest of the Java houses because their frappe actually tastes like coffee this place is basically Starbucks and I hate Starbucks. Please retrain the staff and please dial back the amount of caramel syrup you put in the cups. I'm begging you.

Amazing egg white wrap!! In addition, the server helped me order my drink since I didn't know what to get and it was excellent.

I just stopped in here. Barista recommended the winter warmer (I got it iced) it was delish! I paired it with the egg sausage english muffin and it was the perfect combo. The barista said the sandwich is one of her favorite and I now see why. I wanted to try the egg white wrap but they had run out. The barista was warm and had the willingness to help you figure out what to get. She is a keeper! I was not able to get her name but she has a yellow shirt on today. This cafe is cute too. The christmas tree sets the mood.
Very watery coffee
