Java Joe Coffee Tea & Spice Merchant

"There are so many options for tea and coffee. It smells absolutely delightful inside. The person working the day I went wasn't very helpful and was on their phone the majority of the time, so I had to guide myself around the shop. Nevertheless, I found what I wanted and was very happy with my purchases."

"quaint little coffee shop that sold both loose coffee beans and loose tea. I got the spice chai which was deep and creamy and sweet and highly recommended. it definitely has its own personality. such a tiny shop but feels like a real authentic nook in our neighborhood."

"I went into this shop while meandering in the area and stumble upon this cute little shop. I loved the products, but didn’t love the service. The man working the counter didn’t greet anyone who entered (even when addressed first), had his back turned doing nothing the entire time and and when I tried to ask for help was given attitude and brushed off. I am offended that this is the kind of person who works here. Re the products, the teas I purchased were fair and pleasant, the prices were average for loose leaf tea. However I will not return or recommend this place until they can respect the customers who ultimately make this shop possible. The only reason this review isn’t a 1 star is because I believe this shop can be better if customer service improves."

"This place is an exceptional place to stop for your custom coffee and tea needs and desires. Fresh brewed coffee and teas, whole beans, loose teas, sweets, and accessories all available for sale. I looked all over Manhattan and for a loose leaf tea strainer for tea cups and finally ended up finding it here! Service was friendly and helpful when I asked about tea strainers. I ordered a chocolate cherry latte and tried a couple of macaroons and both were delicious. #LetsGuide"

"Kind and friendly staff. They are knowledgable on their coffees and seem to get fresh batches often. It smelled like freshly roasted beans as soon as you walk in. They also offer a 'tab' system where you pay upfront so you can come in on your busy mornings en route to work and just grab your joe and go. Great concept!"
