Reviews describe Java U as a cozy, welcoming cafe near the university with great coffee and matcha, plus desserts like banana pudding and mini pancakes that are often praised for flavor and generous portions; the staff are consistently friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is cited as ideal for studying or a casual visit, with the owner's care for customers and some updates from new management helping to improve the service, hours, and pastry offerings. However, some notes mention a diluted matcha latte, occasionally soggy pastries, and a few items not always hitting the mark, and one comment about cup sleeves featuring medical advertising.
A very beautiful place near the university, the owner is very humble & cares for the customers.
The prices are very fair & the food is very good.
Would definitely would come back again.

Amazing spot to study & have a coffee with sweets! Highly recommend for their banana pudding. It's a must try. The staff are also very welcoming & friendly. Definitely coming back!
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 !
