Java Owl Coffee House

Absolutely ADORE this coffee shop. It has super friendly staff and owner. The coffee, variety of teas, and Italian sodas is incredible. I usually get a latte and every time that I’ve gotten it, it’s been consistent! During a busy time, you’ll have to wait for your drink, but it’s totally worth it because they don’t rush the process, each drink is carefully crafted. The coffee and environment is unbeatable. I also love the latte art, it’s a nice touch! Definitely recommend!

I also want to give a shout out to the owner, who supports local businesses and talents!

Great little coffee shop! Atmosphere is laid back and friendly. I love that you can bring your dog to hang out inside or outside. The owners were friendly and made time to speak with their customers. I also like that they offer books or games for those hanging out. Will definitely be returning and spending their name to my friends and family!!

I really liked this place. Very unique with comfortable seating areas, excellent service, friendly staff, great drinks and fantastic presentation. I was there with several friends, 3 of which had a latte of some variety. Each had a pattern “painted” on the top of their drink. One friend though her chai latte the best she has had. My iced tea was fresh brewed and served in a small “pitcher” with a glass on the side served on a small wooden tray. A very fun presentation. Another friend had hot tea served similarly with a timer! Dry clever. This was a relaxing, interesting and fun and experience for our group.

The vibes here are amazing. The coffee's are consistently delicious. Inside has a cozy and comfy, welcoming vibe. There's even an outdoor section so you can sit outside with your furry friends when the weather is nice. I love coming here and even their food is solid. Definitely recommend grabbing a coffee here when you're in Clear Lake.

4/29 Update: Still one of the best (if not the best) coffee places in the bay area! Photos are of a Caramel Latte Frappe and Apple Danish. (:

*Never usually write reviews* I’m a long-time customer here, so I had to say: The customer service is INCREDIBLE. John, the owner, really takes his time to get to know people, as do the rest of the staff. They have a clear PASSION FOR COFFEE AND PEOPLE. The atmosphere is top-notch, super cozy and inviting. The drinks are DELICIOUS; they really take pride in making it RIGHT with artisan-level CRAFTSMANSHIP. Great presentation and tons of options—whether you want ANY KIND of coffee, Italian soda, a frappe or tea, you’ll enjoy it! *BONUS* they’re pet friendly and kid-friendly :) it’s a really hard balance to strike with all those who come here to work/do homework, but you can do that here too. There’s tons of space to spread out and do your thing! Bring your friends, bring your grandma, or bring a book. Java Owl’s got you.

This goes back about in March till today. I was looking for a coffee shop. So I guess you can say I was coffee hoping. I ran across the Java Owl. I can honestly say, they are hands down awesome. The team are always on point. They are well knowledgeable on their coffee. Not only that but are very friendly. John is the owner. He’s one you can call a true leader. Once you open the door your sure to get greeted. This place is family friendly, pet friendly. Not only that but a great place to have a small meeting, great place to do some networking, and even just chill, and listen to some local peps who want to play a little music,or even have a small board game group. John and his crew keep this place up and going. Not to mention the upkeep of the house from the inside and out. From the first day you open the door to the Java Owl, you just walked into uncle’s John house. You will always feel at home. Here are some of many pics at uncle John’s coffee shop. So when you stop by give John and his fabulous crew a high-five for a great job. Also when you see Rick, give his pup a high-five, she loves giving a high-five

This place is such a cute gem! Coffee is 1,000x better than Starbucks. Both iced and hot are great! I get the Honey Owl or the Lavender Latte which are both so yummy. Both indoor and outdoor seating! Also, they have a few board games and books to choose from :) all in all I love coming here!

Great coffee shop with friendly staff and low key environment. The americano was great and the drip coffee was great too. The price was super fair for some yummy drinks. The drinks take a bit of time, but they are worth it.

Delicious coffee and wonderful ambiance! Just what I needed during a work trip. Staff was fun and I definitely recommend playing some instruments or sitting in the swinging chair. ☕

Had this not been for google I would’ve gone my entire life without coming here! I really enjoyed their coffee, I had the honey owl, not too sweet,not too bitter. The seatings inside and out are very comfortable. They’ve also got board games if you decide to bring your friends. Overall a good experience :)
