Java Hut

I really loved this place until I was treated like crap from a lady I had never seen before and another employee. My drink went from costing 2.25 to 4.25 somehow? 3 shots with cream in a medium cup over ice. I went here instead of Starbucks because of the great price for this drink and probably my 20^th time getting this drink they increased it by $ 2. I asked why and that was clearly a problem for these two. After these two vented their anger out on me, I felt like crap! After not getting a clear answer I just finally had to ask for my drink so I could freaking leave that crazyness! I went back again and felt so uncomfortable that unfortunately I can’t go back. This place gives me anxiety!

Saw this little mom & pop coffee spot and figured I’d give it a try. I went to Java hut maybe expecting too much?
Staff is great super upbeat but don’t really explain the menu if your a newbie.
I ordered a medium size –16oz Chai Latte with 2 expresso add shots– total of $ 5.00 not bad but I figured they would be cheaper than a chain coffee place like Starbucks or Pete’s. Also, my coffee has this distinct blueberry flavor, which is not what Chai should taste like but oh well it was worth a try. Makes me wish I would have just gone to Starbucks unfortunately.

I’m a HUGE fan of the Mochachini… YUM! It’s the reason I come here at least once a week. It’s a must try! This place is amazing and the workers are always super kind and friendly.

Best frap style beverages I’ve ever had! Highly recommend the mocha or vanilla chini’s with an extra add shot of espresso. Yum yum. I never give places five stars but this place deserves it. Good hours for a local business too, they are a very small drive thru style coffee place. Want to try the seasonal beverages too… but i can’t seem to stay away from my vanilla chini… I honestly am addicted to this place. I usually don’t even drink iced blended coffee drinks because off the sugar content… but this one is worth the extra calories.

The Mochachini — ‘Nuff said.
BUT, I will add:
Friendly employees and great service.

As you may now know from my past reviews, good service is really important to me. The employees at Java Hut are The Friendliest people you will ever meet! They actually seem happy that you pulled up to their window! It amazes me that one can get better treatment from a pull up window for a $ 4.25 purchase yet receive mediocre service from a «classy» restaurant.
*Now their Chini’s are delish– fan of their cookies and cream* Must Try!
So they definitely have their friendliness down and speedy service but hopefully by my next visit they will have started to hand out covered straws. Please. Thanks!

This place is amazing! This is by far one of my favorite coffee shops! The workers have always been very kind and their service is fast :)

I work in Yountville and the new Java Hut here is really the only place we busines owners and employees can grab a quick cup of coffee. The coffee is quite nice and the «Chini» thing as well. My issue is NOT the product, it’s the food handling. The staff has apparently been taught to flip your cup over and place the lip of it on the counter, write your order on the bottom and then slide it — still lip down — over to the barrista. Even though the counters «appeared» to be clean, ALL counters are filthy in this type of environment… Money (I believe the health code requires employees to wash their hands after handling money and then handling supplies and food), spills, fingers and hands, and probably even employees sitting up there when it’s slow. Even when you wipe it down, towels are FULL of bacteria, and frankly I like taking the lid off and sipping my coffee. There’s a reason Starbucks writes your order on the side of the cup and slides it over sitting upright. If you’re not willing to bend over and lick the counter yourself, don’t put the rim of my cup on it. I also don’t need the attitude I get when I ask them NOT to do that. I also don’t think the «Open Air» straw arrangement is very sanitary, and actually wonder if this all isn’t a violation of the health code. Ironic considering Yountville is a mecca for fine dining and high standards in that arena. Meanwhile, I won’t be frequenting the place any more, or referring any visitors over there. If the policy changes I would be delighted to do both and to also amend/​withdraw this crummy Unilocal

I recently tried Java Hut because of great things I’ve heard from friends. I have been here twice and each time has been great. I love the oreochinni! It’s seriously the best! And the employees have always been super nice :) I will definitely continue to come here.

Been coming to this place for years and well within the past year my coffee drinks been lacking and also came in today (04÷10÷15) as well and same thing… and my drinks not hard. So I don’t know what the problem is love the place but I don’t enjoy drinking burnt coffee or iced coffee drinks with a lot of coffee grinds. Hope they step up their game AGAIN!

Can’t believe people are leaving bad reviews because they pulled up on the passenger side. It’s a safety issue. The people who work there are extremely nice and I’ve loved every drink I’ve gotten here.

Very big fan of this place when in Napa.

First stop every morning and never disappoints! The baristas that work there are always very positive and friendly. And the coffee/​tea is amazing! Two thumbs up!

If you go here I would definitely recommend the blended drinks above all else! The mochachinis are always delicious, and the POG smoothie is absolutely my favorite! I like how they have many different flavors and combinations for their drinks so I never seem to get bored. Plus the girls that work there are very sweet and nice. I’ve never had a problem with service. Java Hut is the place to go if you want a cool, sweet, and delicious drink on a hot day. Check them out on instagram as well if you’d like to learn more about their drinks, employees, hours and such! @java_hut

Best mochachini’s! I’m not sure if other places have these but Java Hut in Napa is the best! They’re smooth and delicious. The service is fast, with friendly girls. Another great aspect is that they have almond milk and soy for people who can’t drink dairy

I come here a lot! Love the mochachinis but seems to be understaffed and not open as late as they used to. The afternoon girls are great!

Best iced coffee drinks ever, I just wish they had a location on the other side of town it’s so distant from my house :(

I only get the soy mocha chini. Been getting for 14 yrs. 10 times better, creamier than a Starbucks frappé. Yum yum go for a morning jolt or anytime treat. Always friendly. :)

The place was dead and we drove up to order a coffee and the girl stated we drove in the wrong way and asked if we could turn the car around. I didn’t see the point of asking us to turn the car around just to order a cup of coffee, I thought it was rude and senseless, we just moved here and would never go there again.

I am all about going to support the little guys but visiting this place was my only bad time in Napa. Instead of heading to the long line at Starbucks, we opted on the Java Hut because there was absolutely no one there. It’s a little hut that you can drive up to a window on either side. Since I was not going to order anything I drove up to the window on my passenger’s side so he could order. The snooty lady says «uh you have to turn your car around, you drove in wrong.» So I had to make a big circle to enter the correct way even though there aren’t any one way signs on either side. The closer I got to the window the more annoyed I became at this inconvenience. I drove an additional 8 blocks to Starbucks where we all are greeted as a friend.
