text: After catching a musicians show here the other day I disagree with the reviews that rave about the artsy ambiance The warm cozy feeling is impossible with the floor the ceiling glass windows out front Aside from a few pieces of art on the wall the atmosphere including the decor and lighting seemed pretty pedestrian and forgettable It is on the opposite side of the spectrum compared to Three Roots Lux or Copper Star in that respect If you do not luck out and snag the sofa or easy chair you could be subject to the most uncomfy cafe chairs evernnDont get me wrong I appreciate an independent coffeehouse like Mama Javas that supports the arts local performers and functions as a community center But this seemed like this could have been Generic Coffee House Anytown USAnnIm not a coffee drinker so I opted for iced tea wild strawberry black tea over ice to be exact But that is not what the barista thought I ordered here She gave me hot tea which was decently brewed and tasty btw I went back up to ask for it over ice and proceeds to give me a small ramekin of ice before she finally clued in and realized I wanted iced tea She was really cool about it and we shared a laugh No big deal but worth mentioningnnThe crowd of patrons was diverse this Friday night streaming in steadily all night Some dude straight up ordered a bowl of cereal sat down slurped it up and left satisfied Hey whatever floats your boat right
