“ Gino's Java is tucked away at ground level of the Capitol Towers apartment building. Friendly service, good coffee, delicious lunch items, and a convenient location will keep me coming back. There's a bit of a lunch rush due to the ongoing construction work in the area, so plan accordingly and find a seat in the sun! ”
“ Got the Turkey Guacamole and I added Jalapeños. Sandwich was really good, good amount of sauces and toasted bread. Good value for the size of the Sandwich. They were very busy and still got me my Sandwich pretty quick! ”
“ I’ve been meaning to check out this place for over a year now. Finally stopped in. The smell of bacon engulfed the entire area, and beckoned me it. It was a sign! :) Walked in and first impression is that the setup is a little wonky. You have one cashier who takes orders, makes coffee and hands out orders when ready. This leads to a bit of slow service. There is no number system for orders, either. So I waited around for almost 20 min for my sandwich. Next time I’ll definitely call it in. That being said, it was worth it as I was absolutely famished! There is also some outdoor seating which is nice and shaded. I got the Turkey Club on Wheat. The bacon was crispy and cooked perfectly. It was loaded too. Turkey was just ok, but there was a decent amount on the sandwich. The wheat bread was good (next time I’ll do sourdough). Condiments were fresh. The downside; there was no pickle! :( Oh well. For the price ~$10 it was worth it, and I’ll definitely be coming back. ”
“ The staff always go out of their way to make things just how you want. They are always friendly and service is exceptional. I highly recommend the pear gorgonzola salad with chicken added. They have a nice outdoor seating area which is the perfect place to enjoy lunch. ”
“ This was my go-to coffee shop when I worked down the street and had to come pay it a visit to have my favorite things. I really like the iced matcha and Mexican mocha. Though they are good, these drinks taste like they have a lot of sugar so I didn’t get them as often. This time I got drip coffee (Peru option) and the coffee was not good. I remember the coffee being mid (and still is) but the food is really good. My favorite thing there is the cap tower. The avocado toast is also good- I tried it during this visit and I remember it being better but it was still ok. The cap tower was delicious as usual. Another morning favorite is the morning special. I did not get it this time around but I like to order it and add bacon- so good! The service is ok you can wait a long time for food and sometimes they may forget your order (has happened to me a few times, including this time when I went). All in all I really like this place. The food is good the drinks will do and I rather support a small business than a coffee chain. Def recommend! ”
“ Very good drinks and pastries. The staff in the counter is so nice and kind that she gave us a free drink. Thank you so much! We appreciate you guys. ”
“ My family and I came here, the four of us, and the workers were friendly! We only ordered 3 drinks and 2 croissants however, they kindly gave us an extra drink, because they made a mistake in the making of one of the drinks, and extra croissant for free. Besides the service, the food and the drinks were delightful! We spent about $26 for 3 drinks, 1 croissant, and 1 more pastry but I don’t know the name of it. It’s very affordable for 5 dollars per drink and about 3 dollars for a pastry! ”
