Java U reads as a cozy, study friendly cafe with a dependable mix of coffee, matcha, and desserts. Reviewers love the banana pudding and mini pancakes with generous toppings, and many call the pastries tasty when fresh, with several praising the new pancake options and recent menu updates. The staff is repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the atmosphere is ideal for studying or casual meetups, with fair prices and multiple locations contributing to the appeal. The banana pudding is a frequent standout and the matcha beverages receive strong praise, though a few notes mention a latte or matcha that is a bit milky and some pastries that are not as fresh. Some feedback highlights the improvements under new ownership and extended hours, while one comment points to a cup sleeve with medical advertising as an odd touch. Overall, Java U is seen as a reliable go to for coffee, desserts, and a relaxed place to linger, with many reviewers planning to return.
A very beautiful place near the university, the owner is very humble & cares for the customers.

Les desserts Bouchée sont extrêmement bons & le service est impeccable. Les employés sont très accueillants aussi & nous revenons souvent pour cette raison.

Matcha HORRIBLE. Ce n'est pas du matcha latté qu'ils vendent mais du lait au gout de matcha. C'est assez décevant de voir que le gout du matcha n'est pas perceptible pour le prix.
Server was so sweet! (No pun intended) , u gotta try the bouchées leches, it's new. They basically make the très lèches but with pancakes, & they have different toppings like banana or pistachio. It's not too sweet, & tastes amazing!!
Best mini pancakes in town , from food to customer service everything is spot on . The owner is very nice & always happy to serve & already two locations tried one on metro jarry & now guy Concordia , both amazing !if you crave a nice dessert this is the spot !
Such a cute café! I've tried several things from their menu & everything was delicious 😋😋The coffee's amazing, the service is great & their pancakes are sooo good💕💕💕
