Welcome to Jake's Java

“ The food took 25 minutes to make 3 breakfast sandwiches, and they got the coffee size wrong. It’s a nice little place in Lanesborough, and I respect the man named Jake, which is what this place is named for, for serving in the military, but I’m used to quick sandwich making. Lady at the front was very nice though. ”

“ Have driven by this place a million times and decided to stop when I was looking for a quick bite to eat close to north Lanesborough. I got "The Rail Trail" sandwich and it was great, incredibly fresh, and the perfect amount of food. The service was great and the seating area is super cozy with several different options. Will definitely be back! ”

“ Informal, family-run coffeehouse featuring an outdoor patio plus a drive-thru for the early birds. This is a great place to visit. You'll be glad you did! ”

“ If I could add a few more Stars I definitely would. Coffee was fantastic Egg and Cheese bagel cooked to order had bacon egg cheese roll up awd awsome and huge.. Jake's mom was very very sweet... Just a please to talk to. . ”

“ The best coffee in the area. The best breakfast in the area and it’s not even close. Everything tastes so fresh and the bagels, THE BAGELS, absolutely love them. I would buy them all in an instant. Not to mention the story and the meaning of the building and shop itself. Jake was the most remarkable person, and I’m sure the rest of the Gundam 22 were as well. Between the morals, the food, and the coffee, this is the perfect business to support when craving breakfast or a quick caffeine pick me up ”

“ A must stop location for the wife and I whenever in the area! They have amazing drinks (coffee, tea, refreshers), the food is incredible (great portions and delicious). Run by local, friendly people who do their best to bring a little something to your experience. Reminder this isn’t Starbucks or Dunkin, the food and drinks are hand prepped and not instant ready, but they’ll get it to you as fast as they can without compromising quality ”

“ I’ve been a regular at Jake’s Java for quite a while now, and I felt it was important to share an accurate perspective. This is a small, Gold Star family–owned business with one of the most dedicated teams you’ll ever meet. There aren’t “five or six” employees running around at once; in reality, they’re lucky to have that many people on the entire payroll. Most days you’ll see two, maybe three hardworking staff members doing everything: taking orders, cooking, running the drive-through, and connecting with customers. Jake’s Java isn’t fast food, and it’s not trying to be. Everything here is made by hand, made with care, and made with pride. That means sometimes you’ll wait a bit longer than a chain restaurant, but what you get is fresh, quality food instead of something rushed out of a microwave. It’s worth it every time. This café is also a meaningful part of our community. The owners are a Gold Star family who created Jake’s Java as a place to honor the memory of Gundam 22, support veterans, and bring people together. They take the time to talk with locals, share their story, and make the atmosphere feel like home. They show up for community events, support local causes, and treat everyone who walks in like family. If you’re expecting the kind of rushed, assembly-line speed you get at big national chains, that’s not what Jake’s is about. Their food is made fresh, by hand, and with care — and they still manage to run an efficient counter and drive-through while doing it. What you’ll find here isn’t “fast food,” it’s good food, crafted by a small team that puts pride, heart, and community into every order. If you want quality, authenticity, and a local business with real purpose behind it, Jake’s Java is absolutely worth supporting. I couldn’t think of a better place to spend my money. You will be missed when we leave. As for my followers, stayed tuned for new reviews in Upstate South Carolina once I get settled in ”

“ We had a Saturday morning event with 43 people. Management was excited to have us and even reserved plenty of their very special tables. Our members ordered various items from the menu and everyone was pleased with the quality of their order! Delicious food in a sizable amount. Added plus was when we were treated to an explanation of every one of their special tables. Go US Air Force! ”
