We've stopped here multiple times and always have delicious coffee. They have regular coffee and unique flavors like cardamon rose. You can order them iced, warm or frozen. Definitely worth a stop to grab a drink while you shop down Main Street

Just a great vibe, great people, great service. They have great suggestions if you don’t know what ya want. Great place to take lap top (work remote) or meet friend to catch up or heard some great entertainment.

A gift to my community. A coffee shop that knows your name and supports the community. Open Mic on Friday nights. Live music on Saturday nights.

Ok coffee. Not what I thought of for being called a roaster. Couldn't taste the espresso in my drink.

03/30/24 - I revisited Java Central for another Starlit Ways performance. This talent duo is a must see and thankfully Java Central hosts them frequently. Happy to be a part of a full house for their performance. I ordered their Vanilla Bean latte. Out of this world!Love this eclectic coffee shop. The ambiance, the fellow patrons, the live entertainment. Special shout out to the talented Starlit Ways. Amazing, Beautiful, & Creative performers. One of the best coffees I’ve had in Westerville. The commissioned/independent art work brings decor to the coffee shop. Excellent service from friendly and professional staff. Comfortable seating inside and there is outdoor seating also. Limited street parking available. Parking depends on the day and hour you plan on visiting. Decent prices.

Cute and cozy place to have coffee! The Buckeye Mocha is delicious! Service was also excellent!
Very political and unwelcoming. Signage and attitude make it clear that they care more about divisive issues than good coffee and service. There are better, less biased, options nearby.

Expensive, average coffee in a tiny space. The minimum recommended tip amount on the screen was nearly 30%!! Avoid this place

The coffee and the vibes are amazing but it's a little pricey! Would highly recommend though if you want to treat yourself.

Excellent cortado and nice staff. Plenty of seating around the back.
