I gave this place a try while swinging by Decatur for work. They have a drive through for drinks at least, which I wasnt expecting but definitely appreciated.Service was friendly enough and suggested a White Knight when I asked which of their specialty mocha drinks they liked the best. I ordered that (but iced) and it came out quickly. The price was reasonable.Unfortunately, I wasnt super crazy about it. It mainly tasted like regular coffee with a LOT of milk in it. That was all I could taste: coffee and milk with a touch of sweetness, but in a nondescript, vaguely plain sugar kind of way. I didnt taste any of the white chocolate or vanilla flavors that were supposed to be there.If Im ever around and craving coffee again, Id give this place another try and go for something more milk or dark chocolate-y. I think that would suit me better or at least provide a more varied flavor profile than just coffee and milk.

Absolutely delicious. Had a mocha freeze.. flavor was spot on amazing!!! Thank you!!

A lot better than Starbucks and Dunkin!!!! I got a BLT and a cold Milky Way and they were awesome. The bacon was cooked perfect, the tomatoes were so good and sweet not hard like most places. Best BLT I’ve had. Highly recommend!!

Always love going here. The chicken salad sandwich is amazing!! And Of course there drinks are super tasty

Delicious coffee, tasty food, and wonderful staff! The entire menu is worth a try!

This is the best place in town to get a good cup of coffee, Starbucks has nothing on Javas. Great BLT and lunch sandwiches. Every individual there is polite and cares about there customers.5 stars 100%

Great place to do anything - study, date, relax. Awesome leather couch and fun antique tables and posters. Comfortable seating. Very inexpensive cup of joe. Thankful for the folks there.

I ordered an sandwich from this small joint today and it was impressive! If youre a local you are missing out on another lunch spot to enjoy!!

Java Jaays is magical. If I need that little boost to get my day started this is where I stop. The service is top notch and ultra friendly. The menu has something for everyone. My personal favorite is a low-carb Milky Way served hot. Best coffee in town in my opinion. Support a local business and check them out next time you need caffeine in your life.

Friendly staff, clean little shop. Took the family in for lunch on a Saturday and had the White Knight, which was good. Kids had the orange creamscicle smoothies that they loved.Their sandwiches are basic, but good.

Such a good find! The chicken salad lunch plate was delicious and our drinks were perfect. Friendly staff and cool atmosphere.

I really enjoyed my coffee I got from this place. I went through the drive-thru and got the Milky Way. Very delicious! Only thing is I wish they wouldnt use Styrofoam.

Daily stop. I Wouldnt start my weekdays any other way. Period!

Delish! Had a smoked turkey with pesto...yum!!

Great prices and fabulous customer service!

Great place to meet old friends or family with real nice owners. Lots of safe space to set

Great coffee. Needs a broader selection of food choices.

Best Chicken Salad sandwich around! Great price and really nice folks who work there 😊

Amazing!! BLT is so good.

Such a cute place, the atmosphere is so cozy and friendly. Very few places Ive been have this way of making you feel at home and this place does. The food a great, very tasty and quick to get. Service is amazing and kind. Cannot recommend enough.

Great customer service and the coffee was excellent. Got the Razz-berry latte and the flavor was spot on and tasted like real raspberries.

Always quick service and coffee is awesome!

If youre looking for a good cup of coffee or coffee drink, dont go to Starbucks. You need to go to Java Jaay Cafe. They have great coffee, the staff is amazing and they also have the BEST chicken salad sandwiches. Seriously, if youre in Decatur, stop by there for lunch or youre early morning coffee; you wont regret it.

My favorite coffee shop in town, for sure. Great flavors you cant get anywhere else. Best chicken salad sandwich around. Super friendly staff, and its always great to support local.

I was truly not expecting such a good cup of coffee around here! Well done, sir. I will be back next time Im in town and need a cup. Skip the big chains and go to Java Jaay!

THE BEST coffee in Decatur. Im not kidding. Try the Almond Joy- Itll change your life! Try any of the specialty coffees- Im pretty picky with coffee, and I havent had a bad cup yet! The staff is also amazing!

* Lots of seating* Friendly staff* Clean* Free wifi* Great tuna melt and chai tea

The best coffee and light lunch in Decatur! Bunk is always friendly, helpful, and brews the espresso up just right. Makes my work day go by fast. I appreciate them very much!

My dad, grandson, and I went there for breakfast. My dad and I got their BLT, which was delicious and my grandson got their blueberry scone. It was also delicious. Their staff is very friendly and I would definitely recommend this place to others. I just wish that they had more tables that werent so tall as both times we went there the one table was full and my grandson had a hard time climbing up into the taller chairs.

I love this place soooo much! I’ve had several great experiences all around. When I’m early headed to work I like to stop for a coffee and turkey panini sandwich plate to save for lunch. It is delicious even warmed up a few hours later. Super friendly and quick staff and had another great experience today :)))) thanks Java Jaay!!

Tasty smoothie

I love this americano

I come here at least once a month and spend relaxing hours using their reliable, free wifi and drinking delicious drinks. The atmosphere is great and the seats are comfortable. Customer service is the best in the area. If youre in the area on business, this is the place to pull over to check messages, return calls and meet clients. It doesnt get too noisy here. They also have two small conference rooms that are usually available. Im a huge fan of the drinks. The food is kinda healthy (wheat bread, etc.) and not what I like, but they look delicious. The owner and staff are some of the kindest people youll ever meet.

Cozy place for lunch. My husband loves the cashew chicken salad. Only negative is the limited menu but what they do have is consistently good.

Good coffee. Ive only had the small Americano. Its $2.50 including tax. Theres not many standard height tables where you can rest you feet on the floor. The only standard height table thats in the main area has chairs that arent very comfortable to me. They do have good WiFi thats secured with a password which is a must for me. I enjoyed the upbeat but not too distracting music.

Super friendly staff. Very knowledgeable. they always remember me. Very large conference room for meetings. Everyone is always nice. Very good service and food.K. Hawkins

Love the coffee and of course the chicken salad!! Friendly workers that make your experience feel like home.

Beyond courteous, truly exceptional service. I had the Ham, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on toast. Good size portion, delicious. Atomsphere is pleasant.

My husband and I really liked this place! We got the Mint Condition and the Almond Joy lattes, and both were very tasty.The shop is very homey and slightly boho, with quiet guitar music playing. A very relaxing atmosphere.4 stars only because of the health rating at the time. Otherwise, it would be five.

My americano tasted perfect, and the cafe was chill. We went out of our way when traveling to find coffee and chose this spot. We were not disappointed! Coffee and clean bathrooms! Thanks!

Nice atmosphere. Had a hot blueberry muffin and White Knight. Didnt think Id find a place I enjoyed as much as Starbucks, but this might be my new favorite.

Best coffee in the River City & Try the chicken salad...my fave

Love getting my coffee here! Only conlaint is they need a location on the other side of town! I recommend the heath bar hot or come! This place is local and cheaper than the competition! Gotta support your local establishments! They also have some lunch items and quick breakfast foods. A couple of meeting rooms are available inside as well. Free wifi is also available and its not painfully slow

Very cool place. Relaxing and the coffee was excellent 👍👍☕

I just love the small cafe feel, and this place has it in abundance! The owners are amazing people on top of everything! ☕❤

Great coffee. The owner is really friendly.

This is my all time favorite coffee roaster. They have a solid espresso. Java Jaay is a great place to get a coffee drink and stay awhile.

A wonderful place to meet others for coffee or food and become friends with the owner that is always there and his helper Sarah. (Sweet people)

My favorite coffee.... who doesnt love a white knight!!!! Bunk Khristen and Sarah always know what I want!!! Chicken salad is a favorite as well

Excellent service, delicious food, and personable staff.
