    Cute place but they forgot to put in my order so it took 45 minutes for my breakfast sandwich to get made. Everyone who we saw there waited a long time for their items (5-10 mins for drinks, 10-15 for food) and I couldn't figure out why. It looked like 5 or 6 employees were working there and I only saw about 10-15 customers in the time we were there but each order still took 10+ minutes to come out. The food was good, don't get me wrong, but it's an egg and a bagel, it shouldn't take 45 minutes to make. Luckily they had some games and stuff to keep us occupied while we waited but ultimately I wouldn't go back.

    I’ve been a regular at Jake’s Java for quite a while now, and I felt it was important to share an accurate perspective. This is a small, Gold Star family–owned business with one of the most dedicated teams you’ll ever meet. There aren’t “five or six” employees running around at once; in reality, they’re lucky to have that many people on the entire payroll. Most days you’ll see two, maybe three hardworking staff members doing everything: taking orders, cooking, running the drive-through, and connecting with customers.

    Jake’s Java isn’t fast food, and it’s not trying to be. Everything here is made by hand, made with care, and made with pride. That means sometimes you’ll wait a bit longer than a chain restaurant, but what you get is fresh, quality food instead of something rushed out of a microwave. It’s worth it every time.

    This café is also a meaningful part of our community. The owners are a Gold Star family who created Jake’s Java as a place to honor the memory of Gundam 22, support veterans, and bring people together. They take the time to talk with locals, share their story, and make the atmosphere feel like home. They show up for community events, support local causes, and treat everyone who walks in like family.

    If you’re expecting the kind of rushed, assembly-line speed you get at big national chains, that’s not what Jake’s is about. Their food is made fresh, by hand, and with care — and they still manage to run an efficient counter and drive-through while doing it. What you’ll find here isn’t “fast food,” it’s good food, crafted by a small team that puts pride, heart, and community into every order. If you want quality, authenticity, and a local business with real purpose behind it, Jake’s Java is absolutely worth supporting. I couldn’t think of a better place to spend my money.

    You will be missed when we leave.
    As for my followers, stayed tuned for new reviews in Upstate South Carolina once I get settled in 😎

    Today I went with my parents to Jake’s! They used to go there before I was around, but this was my very first visit.

    I get a little nervous when I go somewhere new, but the humans there helped calm me down with my very first puppy cup.

    Wow. Bacon and whipped cream! I had never tried that before and it was sooo good. My tail was wagging the whole time.

    My mom got an avocado cream cheese everything bagel and said it was delicious. My dad had coffee with a sausage and egg sandwich, which he also said was delicious. My humans looked very happy with their food.

    If you’re a dog like me, bring your humans here. The food is great (but the best part is making a cute face and getting a puppy cup).

    Thank you, Jake’s Java team! I’ll definitely be back… mostly for the puppy cups.

    A true patriot goes to Jake’s Java.

    Memorial Day is important, but remembering our fallen shouldn’t be limited to one day a year. I was interested in visiting Jake’s Java after learning Jake was serving in the U.S. Air Force when his aircraft crashed during a training exercise, claiming the lives of all eight crew members on board.

    As a combat veteran myself, I wanted to support a local business that honors service and sacrifice. This was my first visit to Jake’s, and I’m so glad I stopped by.

    Not only was the food excellent, but it was clearly made with love. In fact, that describes the entire atmosphere. The owner, Jake’s mother Kim, is a wonderful woman, and if you stop by, you won’t regret taking a moment to say hello.

    I highly recommend coming by for a cup of coffee, a sandwich, or simply to pay your respects. Outside, you’ll find eight beautifully crafted picnic tables, each dedicated to one of the fallen service members. Take a seat, enjoy the moment, and spend some time reflecting on the heroes whose legacy lives on here.

    Jake’s Java is more than a coffee shop—it’s a tribute, a gathering place, and a reminder that our fallen heroes should never be forgotten.

    Informal, family-run coffeehouse featuring an outdoor patio plus a drive-thru for the early birds. This is a great place to visit. You'll be glad you did!
