Coffee and Wine...what more could you want?

by tafkap4d

My office building recently lost a Starbucks and we NEED (no, I need) a coffee shop.

We headed to Java Vino on a Thursday and found it to be almost empty. We looked over the menus and had a hard time deciding on what we wanted because everything looked amazing.

We settled on a cheese plate, hummus and chicken salad sandwich with wine. I felt as if I was in HEAVEN. Fresh, fast and delicious. We polished off our evening with dessert, coffee and a sample of a dessert wine.

The wait staff was friendly and anticipated our needs. They even started a tab for us.

The parking was easy, the space neat and bright with appropriate music and WiFi connection.

I cannot think of a better combination!

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: the picture of the snake in the Ladies Restroom

My favorite coffee/wine bar

by doctorparetta

Java Vino has the best wines, the best desserts, the best teas, the best coffee, and the best food of all the coffee shops I've been to in Atlanta.

• Pros: Great wine, great atmosphere, and great background music
• Cons: Closes at 11AM on Mondays

Daycare vs. Winebar

by pmsacks

I noticed all the reviews were from 2005 except the most recent was from 2006. I've been to JavaVino a number of times during the past couple of years and really liked it. It seems to be far less up-scale than in the past. The owners seem to be running the bar and house together. The kids were all over...a wine bar is not a place I wish to see kids around. Also it doesn't seem to be as well maintained. The bathroom sink was filthy. I had to tell a worker there was no papertowels twice - an hour apart. And no soap in the bathroom. I remember a far nicer place to go for a drink. I won't be hurrying back.

Great Patio, Awesome for Private Parties

by verybusylady

I used JavaVino for a birthday bash party and it was a great experience. The owners worked with me directly and the wine diva Katie was great. She recommended a great selection of wine for my wine snobby friends and it was a great success. A great big "30" party and everyone had a great time. There is a private space for private parties with a front patio that's private in the upstairs area. I really enjoyed myself, and felt as comfortable as at home.

Their espresso drinks were a nice night cap as we wrapped up our party upstairs.

JavaVino handled all the food and drinks and let us bring in a few items to decorate with a personal touch.

I would highly recommend this place.

• Pros: Great Staff, Great Private Space, Awesome Wine List

Coffee, wine, and quick bite - LOVE it

by miraclemiller

There aren't words enough for how enthusiastic I am about this place. I've been frequenting JavaVino since it opened over a year ago, and it truly gets better with every visit. The coffee is amazing, the wine is cheap and plentiful, the food is amazing, and the service is spot-on. I'm especially loving all the new soups and sandwiches, and the sweet potato pie last week knocked my socks off. This is such a great place not just for chilling but also for a quick, cheap nosh served with a smile.

• Pros: Food/Bev, Service, Atmosphere
• Cons: None

We had a great time!

by alysedrew

We love this place! Take a sip . . their coffee is great! Ask them why, and you will learn why it is not only better tasting, but also better for the rainforests and better for the workers who grow and harvest it! As an added bonus, it is also more affordable than the big chains! The wine selection is wonderful, and they have great tastings all the time. To sum it up, there is nothing like a superior product served by people (the owners and great staff) who really love what they do.

• Pros: Selva Negra Coffee, Friendly Employees, Great Atmosphere

The BEST Coffee/Wine!

by artus

This is a true "mom and pop" shop, and offers what the coffee chain on every other corner does not. You meet and are served by the owners and a staff that is friendly and knowlegable. They are there whenever you come in and get to know you and make you feel at home. On top of that, the quality of the coffee is far superior to the big chains, and the price is less! The food is great, and I'd need a lot more room to talk about the wine (my favorite part). In short, they have great coffee, a great atmosphere, and great food and wine!

• Pros: Great Coffee, Wine Selection, Atmosphere

My favorite hangout!

by phenex

Having lived in Atlanta for 8+ years now, I finally have a place I love to hang out in. The coffee is superb and the wine selection is great. Whether you want to relax with friends over coffee or stare adoringly into the eyes of your lover over a glass of wine, the atmosphere will suit you. The owners, Steve and Heddy (and now Conner), are a pleasure to spend time with. On any given night, you are guaranteed to meet any or all of them (although don't expect any deep philosophical conversation from Conner just yet). Come on out to JavaVino and I guarantee you an experience unlike any other in Atlanta.

Excellent location to meet friends and to start or end the day. The coffee gift packages are great gifts for family.

Java Vino

by kwisneski

Best local roasted coffee. Private estate coffee ( dark roast) is highly recommended.

Don't forget your punch card for a free bag of beans.
