I went to Java for the first time with my dad before preschool when I was really little. That being one of my first memories, it had always held a special place in my heart and not once has it let me down since. Java has a fantastic atmosphere to eat their delicious food in. They’re incredibly friendly and always make you feel at home, and comfortable. This cafe is one that will always keep me coming back to Montevideo.

Although I haven't been here in years, Java River has always been a great staple in this town! I wish they were open longer hours. I love the coffee, food, and staff. It's a great place, and it always makes my day whenever I pop in.

This coffee shop Cafe is a gem! Staff is so welcoming & friendly. The coffee is absolutely amazing!! It's a must stop whenever in town. We ordered off the monthly special flavors. I ordered the hot Caramel Nut Mocha & my daughter had the Butterbeer Latte. Delicious! They also have homemade goodies & novelty items for sale.

Very friendly family owned coffee shop. The Columbian blend was great and I had a chocolate chunk cappuccino muffin, that they warmed up for me with butter. It was fabulous! Great Internet connection and it was a great place to get some work done. Will definitely stop by again.

Excellent small town, one-of-a-kind coffee/breakfast restaurant! The breakfast foods are mostly egg based with fantastic variety and flavor. The special of the day was phenomenal!
