Review Java Jive - Atlanta

Tiffany Steinke
What a egg-tra special breakfast spot! Great vegan options and wonderful espresso! Warmly greeted by server upon arrival and they suggested the salsa scramble which did not disappoint. Some of the best grits in Atlanta! My partner enjoyed the tofu scram. Plenty of parking in rear. Vintage decor and great food! No doubt all the locals can’t be wrong. Cash only.

Cute little breakfast spot in town. Note, they're cash only - but do have an ATM/Venmo account. Got the gingerbread waffle with lemon curd, side of home fries and bacon. Wish the gingerbread was more prominent in flavor/spice but it was delish paired with the curd.

1950s themed/retro diner serving the typical diner foods. I never noticed this shop in my few years in Atlanta til now. Note that they are cash-only so be sure to bring some with you. I got some egg & cheese biscuits and they were definitely pricey (came out to $8 for each biscuit)! The biscuits themselves were AMAZING. Not dry at all, slightly crumbly, and the top breaks into "sections" rather than being cohesive like the first and last piece of bread in a loaf. This is exactly how a buttermilk biscuit should be made. Props to this diner! Please try the biscuits if you go here!

Best buttermilk pancakes ever. Had the vegetable scramble with pepper jack cheese which was great too! Love the atmosphere as well. Found out that you can order full homemade pies as well. Today I got a mini coconut pie! YUM!! I’ll be back!

Cash-only, Quiet breakfast spot with a family- friendly environment. I recommend the pancakes or biscuits. I often get the Greek omelette with breakfast potatoes or grits; however, I highly recommend listening for the specials because you could be in for a treat. There’s an ATM located onsite.

Atmosphere: WHOA! Cool. 50s vibes all the way. Small, local, authentic, hole-in-the-wall feel. Workable: no lol. Come for a meal, not a work sesh. Food/drink: a diner that does its food well. Pancakes were fluffy. Biscuits were fresh. Pie tasted homemade. Eggs with basil & cream cheese…✔️✔️✔️ Price: *cash only! mid to low end, good deal. Worth! Parking: free lot in the back - kinda confusing to get there. But you can do it.

My husband and I ate here twice on our vacation here because it was sooo delicious!!! Welcoming cozy environment and affordable delicious food. It’s easy to please anyone who comes here because despite their small menu they have a good range of traditional breakfast for picky eaters and adventurous flavors like the Santa fe and Mediterranean egg scrambles! (Also pictured is the raspberry cream cheese French toast and the gingerbread waffle with lemon curd yum!)

We stayed at the hotel across the street and decided to try this place. Very welcoming waiter with good communication about the menu and their covid protocols which I liked. The buttermilk pancakes were amazing!! The orange juice was on point!! I got the Santa Fe scramble with cheese grits and potatoes. The scramble was really good and seasoned great. Didn't try the potatoes but im sure they were delicious. Now the biscuit was cute shaped in a heart; however it fell below my expectations of a good biscuit since thats what they are known for. Make sure you have cash or use the atm by the bathroom.

Came here on 2.12.22 Definitely a good experience here. Service was so fast and they give you plenty of food.. It is a cash only establishment...... So know before you go. They do have an ATM if you dont have cash.... Chris was really nice. This is a swanky place.. Old days vibe.. Nice vibe.. Real quiet and peaceful.... Check this place out.. Get the pancakes

Cash Only I got pecan buttermilk pancakes, and they definitely hit the spot. My cafe au lait was also a special treat. The potatoes were fair, and the bacon tasted a little re-heated. I forgot to ask for real maple syrup so I'll need to remember for next time. Everything is a la carte so that adds the bill up quickly. Staff were very COVID conscious if that is a determining factor for you. The parking lot is in the back and it's easy to miss the main road entrance. It's easier to enter from the back.

Used to live in ATL 10 years back and this place was and still is the bomb (just revisited). The decor is cute. Everything is delicious so order with confidence, but get a biscuit if nothing else.

One of the Best Breakfast in Atlanta! Great “retro” decor and atmosphere, friendly staff, great food and coffee. They have a very creative and nice mix of offerings on the menu. Today I tried the Scrambled eggs/cream cheese & basil, cheese grits, bacon and one of their famous “fluffy” biscuits... and the coffee was awesome. Go early because, I’m obviously not the only one that likes this place... they were packed.

I need to RAVE about this fabulous restaurant. First and foremost...social distancing and masks are required. The service was the best...very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was very clean...restrooms clean. The decor was super cute...vintage coffee pots, signs and old stoves. Vintage dinette sets were used for seating. The FOOD was delicious and well prepared. I had Raspberry French Toast...and it was fantastic! The coffee had a great, rich flavor. Creamer was served in a cute, chilled pitcher. I highly recommend this restaurant

My challah French toast was dry but over all the food is good but honestly the price was a lil crazy 20 $ for a single pancake ,grits and orange juice if it’s your vibe definitely go and you don’t mind spending $$ go . But it def gives off 60s vibes and as a POC I felt outta place coming in thru the back door at a diner 🤣 just had to add that in there bc I thought it was funny but definitely not their intention . I expected different demographic as it was called “Java jive “

You will love a delicious homemade breakfast w great coffee and sides in the most quaint retro dining room ever. Don't pass this up. A narrow driveway on the west side of the building leads to rear parking. Then you can take the steep back stairs down to the delightful place awaiting you. Cash only, but an ATM is inside. The gingerbread waffle w fresh lemon curd is amazing but only served Sats and Suns. Must visit!

Very friendly team. Please wait to be seated, no host stand. 1950's style Cafe atmosphere with breakfast fare. CASH ONLY. ATM on site. The food quality and quantity is amazing! If you are a fan of Fallout series or the 1950's in general, this is a must. Parking is behind the building and limited. Located from across the Clermont Hotel.
