I come to Java Cat often and usually have no issues, but me and about 4 others cars waited 15-20 minutes for breakfast sandwiches. Which they clearly made in mass and then sent them out to everyone as everyone got there food at the same time but ordered at different times. To top it off the sandwich was luke warm at best after all that waiting. The car behind us even got out and walked inside because it took too long, and we tried to call inside but no one answered. Quite the let down honestly.

This is a FAVORITE hole-in-the-wall coffee place of mine. They're very niche and i adore all of their stickers at the delivery window every time we come. My s.o and i almost ALWAYS get their chai latters (so good!) I highly recommend them. 15/10

They are so nice! It was pouring rain outside and I dropped my coffee. They offered to make it for free again even though it was totally my fault. They also have an amazing pastry section!

I've rated Java Cat Coffee one star only for the reason that their beverages are delicious otherwise do not waste your money on their over priced burnt food, it is bland and tasteless; I bought a breakfast croissant with bacon and a breakfast wrap with bacon both I could have made better myself in my own kitchen and honestly wishing I wouldve used the money I spent on those and gone to the store and bought materials for both, for a quarter of the price.

Not a coffee guy, but my wife likes this place, they seemed unorganized to me but maybe that's just how they like it idk.

I'm unapologetically a cat lady, so I was primed to love this place. I had a seasonal campfire latte which was very tasty. Great (and colorful!) little coffee house. Looking forward to return! Shop local!

Really bad experiences here - when Covid hit, and masks weren't required yet, I was spat upon by one of the older workers (the owner) at their drive through window. She apologized - but - covered me in her spit. This was before we were vaxxed. This kind of non-commitment to safety, quality and communication is indicative of the entire operation at Java Cat (a glance at how their drive through is setup to spill into the busy Monona Drive will reveal that). Today, I waited for nearly 40 minutes for a breakfast food item, ordered when they were not busy. After spending hundreds of dollars there over several years, the value see-saw has finally tipped into the "poor" category at Java Cat. Food quality, cost and wait times are all unacceptable. I wish I could give it a higher review, but after being a loyal customer for several years and having the terrible experience there I did today, I simply cannot.

Nice people, but gave me the wrong drink. Make sure you ask for a hot drink or it is automatically made cold.

Meh. I have had better coffee. The drive thru experience is anxiety inducing. I was hoping to get a better coffee than the national chains, but it didn't happen.

Best coffee in town. Staff is amazing and outstandingly welcoming. We're lucky to have them so close. Be sure to get your sandwiches Boom Boom Style. I have dreams about that sauce...

Java Cat is a women owned business that I like to support. They serve good coffee and have a comfortable sitting room to talk with friends. It's nice to sit outside on a nice day. Their drive up window always seems to be busy. This was especially true during Covid, but now they are back to being open. Yeah!
