“Java Nosedive.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

Having been a frequent customer of the Java since the first cafe opened at Adams Arcade, I can't help but be really disappointed with it now. The service is really poor, in all the branches and it seems to be really trying to cut costs (at the expense of quality) wherever they can (see:the cafes no longer have the serviette dispensers on every table as before). That said, the coffee is still good, though you may have to wait for it for a while.

“Only place to get American Style coffee”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

Starbuckesque bistro coffee house. The baked goods taste of western flour not the heavier and coarser African flour.

“A very good coffee place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

A great place to meet friends and relax. Can also be used as a relatively quiet workspot. Would greatly help if they provided free Wi-Fi

“Good food, relaxed atmosphere and slow but friendly service.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012 via mobile

Good choice a food and a very relaxed atmosphere. Had a little wait for food but overall was really happy with the service and price. It is at a shopping centre too so lots of shops to visit. There is also an Irish bar and cocktail lounge on the same site.
