Judy’s Java Joint

Finding an independently owned coffee shop in Bethel is such a gem. It’s refreshing for me with the Starbucks around every bend in the road.
Judy’s is a great place to get some work done or just relax. It was a friendly atmosphere with decent coffee.
I will definitely be going back.

Great little place. Was pleasantly surprised walking in. Great selection and affordable prices.

This is a great locally owned little coffee stop! I am able to frequent it often on my way to and from work. Parking is always easy to find, and the service is quick. My favorites are my go-​to drink the Americano (flavorful, strong– the way I like it!), café mocha (deep chocolate flavor that satisfies), and something I just tried– her Maple Pumpkin Spiced Latte! The pumpkin latte was very good in that it was not overpoweringly sweet but gave that fall flavor which is nice as the weather is turning cold.
Would definitely recommend stopping by if you haven’t already!

In terms of coffee, I give them an A+. Everything tasted delicious! I got a salted caramel mocha (the best I’ve ever had) and my friend got a frappé. Both were delicious!
In terms of atmosphere, I wish it were a little brighter in here. It was stormy outside the day we stopped in, but I really do enjoy the atmosphere of a coffee shop as much as I enjoy the coffee. Would have liked some more natural light!

This a nice place. I stopped on my way to work to try it out. I got a simple 16oz brewed coffee which cost less than $ 2. Super! They also have free wifi. The coffee tastes very good, and although I didn’t try any of the foodstuffs yet they look good. The interior is comfortable and I could easily spend time here whether alone or with a couple friends.
I will stop by again.

Sweet little coffeehouse with a sunny, welcoming awning. Very inviting. Coffee and a really good biscotti will lure me back! Even a tiny spot of outdoor seating! Coffee was good, they even have teas. Nice staff. Some dessert and snack/​lunch items. So worth checking out!

Cool little place. My mum had been talking at stopping by here for awhile so today we stopped by here. I read the other two reviews. Kimberly said she didn’t like that she couldn’t have a private conversation here. Really? In a coffee shop? Ugh. Of course not, so why give ³⁄₅ stars. This is a mom and pop shop, and it’s cool. The pepperoni roll was awesome. Iced coffee was fine. There’s a small outside table and a great nook if you don’t want to be bothered with people. The wifi is free and Judy seemed cool enough. :)

This family owned java shop opened in November. They are located in a strip plaza. Their building used to be a bank. It still looks like one on the outside but the inside has been transformed into a cozy coffee shop.
They offer a nice selection of coffees and they have bagels, pepperoni rolls, and sweet treats. They also have smoothies. While I was there (about 1 ½ hours) there was a steady flow of customers. Most of them took their coffee to go. Several people ordered smoothies. I would definitely order one on my next visit.
Three things I didn’t care for were 1) when you use your credit card to pay the iPad that is their «register» offers four options to tip before you get to the screen where you sign your receipt. I felt a little like a hostage being forced to tip even though one of the choices is not to tip. There is also an actual tip jar sitting right in front of the «register». I am not cheap. I always tip. I just didn’t like how it made you feel you MUST tip. 2) I bought a bagel but I had to toast it myself. I’m not lazy, just not sure why they couldn’t toast it before plating it and handing it to me. 3). They need more seating. They have 3 tables and then bar type seating along the windows. The tables are 2 seaters and they are all together. There was really no way to have a private or unheard conversation. I am a Life Coach for a living and I’m always looking for places to meet clients. Due to the seating I would never meet a client there. I would meet friends but only for light hearted conversations-​nothing heavy.
The coffee is good and I prefer to support small businesses so I will keep this on my list of places to meet friends.
