Jeremy S.Stopped in for a quick caffeine fix on a road trip, and I’ll start with the positives: This place has a great community vibe! It seems to have filled the void left by Denny’s as the local "sit and chill" spot. The breakfast crowd looked genuinely happy, and the food service seems to be their true strength. However, the coffee was a bit of a struggle. It’s always a bit of a letdown when a place names itself after the bean but treats the actual coffee like an afterthought. A few notes for the shop to grow into their name: The Gear: Using a home-consumer Breville machine for a commercial shop makes for a very slow process. It’s hard to keep up with orders when you can’t pull a shot and steam milk at the same time. Consistency: We ordered two identical mochas, but they tasted like two different drinks—one was overly sweet with a bit of a "fake sugar" aftertaste, and both lacked a real coffee punch. The Milk: If the steamer is "screaming," the milk is likely being scalded rather than textured. The Java Shop has clearly mastered the "Shop" part—it’s a cozy, bustling neighborhood hub. I’d love to see them eventually embrace the "Java" side with some commercial equipment and a bit of barista training. If they do, this place will be unstoppable!

Joslyn MacriThe BEST coffee in Herkimer! I’m a postal clerk who travels to various local offices. I happened to find this shop on the recommendation of several customers and co-workers. It’s a great spot to relax, or to meet with friends! Super friendly staff! Great coffee selection! They even offer sugar free flavors and, for food, a low carb wrap. There are gluten free and vegetarian friendly options as well! What a wonderful local spot! 😍

Jessica FaithThe new location is a little roomier, with a bright and comfortable atmosphere. I haven't tried the food yet, but the coffee is superb! Fast and friendly service. I will definitely be back to try the chicken and waffles!

LorenIt was my first time here and I ordered to go online, which I love as an option. I can't wait to go back here, would love to make it a weekly stop when I am out shopping in Herkimer. Tried Dalgona coffee for the first time and it was beyond delicious!! Food was great, well seasoned and good portion! Lucky to have a nice business like that out here.
