Johnny’s Java

I got the egg and green chili burrito, lemon bread, and gluten free brownie. All were excellent! Surpassed my expectations! The quality was way above average, and the staff were nice.

It’s not the best coffee shop around, but it has such a great atmosphere. It’s a cool little sit-​down place for friends.

This is the best place for coffee, mochas or chai tea. A great atmosphere. The owner and all of the barristers always have a smile for all customers.
Evan if you need directions all can help.
Hope to see there.

Awesome carrot bread, delicious chai, wonderful service and atmosphere. The service staff was very friendly.

Coffee is ok. Service can be better! The owner is there at times and isn’t very nice at all.

house coffee was bitter which means either they aren’t doing a good job cleaning machines or are using old coffee, or both. Top that with cashier wantng to charge .50 cents for a small empty paper cup – I try to support small businesses but in this case I can go to starbucks and pay same amount for a better cup of coffee, skip the attitude and they’ll give me an extra paper cup for free.

What’s better than walking into your coffee shop and having the staff remember you and your regular brew? I can answer that. My wife’s order! That’s right not only do these folks remember their regulars but also their spouses order. I certainly owe Johnny’s staff 5 stars after years of fantastic service.
Yea, I took a look at some of the negative comments and I’m convinced those folks place no value in good hometown service, can only offer a quick assessment and then move on to some chain store service model with no local charm. I’d rather try to stick with long standing business owners that understand the value of community and long standing consistent service. Besides do you know those other chain store business managers or owners by name? Do they really know you?
Over the years I can’t tell you how many times I stopped by before Johnny’s opening hours and Bruce was already there and always willing to serve me or someone else one of the first cups before all the lights were on.
I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my cup of Joe!

They really need a toaster for bagels. The coffee was good and the environment is very mellow but I prefer my bagels toasted!

Super yum! Indoor and outdoor seating make for a nice, relaxing experience. The ladies that work here are very nice.

I came in one minute before closing, and the staff was very friendly. I asked if they shut down their machines yet cuz I’d never make them reopen for just a coffee. I ordered a white mocha, then had some cocoa powder added to it. By far the best mocha I’ve ever had in my life! They used real melted chocolate and oh my god. Delicious. I wish I lived nearby, I’d come in everyday. Just try it! I came in 12÷18÷14 at 5:59 pm. Just stating the specifics so management knows who was working. I didn’t catch names. But they were all great :)

Pony K does NOT approve !!
Coffee vending machines make better coffee and have better customer service.

Great location right by the freeway. I love stopping here on my way to or from my in-​laws in Cotati. And the manager is so nice, he’ll come out from behind the counter and can seem to talk about anything.

They are so rude! They act like they are the customer and we are bothering them by placing an order. Not sure how they are still in business…
My husband complained that they were rude to him both times that he went there and he is the friendliest guy ever! He can bring a smile to the grumpiest persons face, so for them to respond rudely to him was shocking. He refuses to go there anymore.
I wanted to swing in real quick on our way to the city, so I called to see if we could place a order for pick up, since we were in a hurry. The guy who answered said they didn’t take phone orders, and when I went to explain that we were just a few minutes away, he cut me off and then hung up on me!!!
Now I will never go there again too!

I was meeting a friend here before heading out to Giants game & decided to go in was going thru major caffeine withdraws (lol) have never tried Johnny’s so wanting something new. Ordered a Soy Chai Latte large $ 5 price is kinda of crazy insane high but whatever it was delicious. The only reason for my low stars is because customer service was HORRIBLE here. Like why do these people work here? No hello, no how’s your morning, no thank you or good bye. WTF man I want some sort of convo after a five freakin dollar latte. People were rude here would not recommend it ever unless you loooooooove Soy Chai Lattes or do not like to talk to people either

I have to agree with other reviewers: unfriendly, monotone staff bordering on rude. Additionally, the barrista was so sick she was trying to cough-​up a lung. Had no business being at work, much less in a food-​prep position. I didn’t really want to touch my cup after it was handed to me.
Coffee was luke-​warm; only slightly hot. And pricey. Mediocre overall and 2-​stars but only for the ambiance of the room; sorry, that’s it. Outdoor seating: yes. But the smokers had taken it over. So not only was the outdoor seating unappealing but one had to walk through cigarette smoke to get in/​out the front door.
For a new, first-​time customer: disappointed. Won’t be back. No reason to return; nothing special here.

Been meeting my mom here for workouts that we carpool together to in Petaluma. My mom bought me an iced coffee to drink on the way. I made small talk with the short red headed waitress as my mom waited for her food. We took off to Petaluma and I started to suck down my coffee, I was instantly disappointed. This coffee tasted stale and old. After the hour long workout my mom dropped me back off so I could ask for some new coffee. The same redhead looked down at the coffee and then went to talk to her coworker. I heard every word of how it was the redheads decision to remake my drink or not. You would think that with a Pete’s coffee down the street they would be trying to keep their customers, but she refused to pour me a new cup of coffee. She very rudely told me she would not remake it because I left and came back, even though the drink was practically untouched. Nice job Johnny’s java.

Was waiting for paint to be mixed down the street at Dunn-​Edwards and needed some coffee. Went in to this place for the first time. Great vibe! The manager (and maybe owner?) was there making drinks and the crowd seemed to be mostly «regulars.» Dixieland jazz was playing when I was there.
I got a tuxedo mocha. I never get those but it was really good! Cool place and better place to get a coffee than Peet’s down the street, in my opinion.

2.50 For a large cup of very good coffee. Right next to the 101 south entrance. I highly recommend this place

Johnny’s Java spot is huge for a coffeeteria. looks more like a breakfast spot. lots of room to meet and chat with people. service is friendly. lots of pastries available.
brew (L.2.25 french roast)
–just smooth, average coffee, just ok
3 stars for the coffee, 4 stars for the ambience/​staff/​coffeeteria.

The atmosphere is always really «stale.» The staff seems bored to death! But on a plus side… They do have a great tea selection.
