Junk & Java

Small but great service and great coffee!

Locally loved, chill, friendly atmosphere makes the best spiced chai almond milk latte on the East Coast. Also love the snickers latte.

I’m relatively new to the east coast, and I have been in desperate need for a really great coffee shop that isn’t Dunkin Donuts. I have finally found my go to coffee shop, Junk & Java.
The coffee here is delicious and there is plenty more to choose from other than coffee. Bagels, parfait, and gelato. That’s right, gelato! Give this shop your business!

I’ve been here twice. That’s right; I came back. The first time I needed a quick pick-​me-​up after a day of walking around Rhode Island with a friend. I ordered the Cinnamon Roll Latte. The barista gracefully swirled icing into my drink. It was a really pretty. It tasted like a light, refreshing liquified cinnamon roll with a kick of espresso. My friend ordered the Flat White, which was pretty strong.
The second runaround to Junk & Java, my bestie and I drove here with the intent of studying on a lazy Sunday. I ordered the Mountain Berry tea-​lemonade hybrid. It tasted «pure» if that makes any sense. If you try it, you’ll understand what I mean. It’s light, refreshing, just enough sweet, and tastes like both tea and lemonade. The closest comparison I would make to it is Starbuck’s Peach Green Tea Lemonade. My bestie ordered the Matcha Latte. She commented that it was also refreshing and smooth.
Junk & Java is a cute café. They have an eclectic large-​scale chess set, inviting all guests to give it a try. There’s an assortment of Harney & Sons teas for sale along with small candies, bags, and shirts to name a few things.
This won’t be my last time here. I adore this place.

I came here today with a friend for the first time, and we will for sure be returning.

We go to Watch Hill about once a summer and this is a great stop on the way (about a 2-​hour drive from Western, Mass, so no, we don’t usually visit more often). Get a coffee, grab a sweet or savory pastry, take a pee, then hit the beach.
Nice atmosphere, funky and sweet. Great staff. I did buy an herb and cheese scone that needed more time in the oven, but I’ll def go back here.
I’d love to try some of the very interesting healthy tea drinks that are on the board and maybe even stop for a sit-​down snack.
Reasonable prices, too.

Junque N Java is one of the best coffee spots in Westerly, RI. They have it all. A cool, comfy, relaxed atmosphere to hang out. Delicious teas, coffees, and shakes to suck down while you sit in a nice comfy chair. A wonderful array of pastries and even gelato to stuff your face. And, to top it all off, a friendly staff to serve you.
Payment is accepted in the form of cards and cash, which is convenient. The prices are fair and you get what you pay for. Their iced green tea is brewed fresh. Lattes can be iced or hot. I highly recommend their iced chai with almond milk! Junque N Java also has a frequent buyer card. When you buy a certain amount of tea, coffee, or latte’s you get one for free!
It’s great to support local businesses, but it’s even better when those businesses are AMAZING just as Junque n Java is.

I was here twice the other day. In the morning I got the croissant breakfast sandwich with egg and cheese, a mocha latte, and a cannoli to go. The sandwich was good though I am not sure why they offer sausage and bacon and not ham, something most places offer if they have the first two. So no ham and cheese as I had hoped. Coffee was fine but I had to wait ten minutes before it was cool enough to drink so they have not mastered the art of temperature control here. This has happened more than once. The cannoli was off tasting somehow. Oddly enough it may have been more the shell than the cream. not good. The yoghurt parfait here is also too sweet. You can’t have both frozen fruit in juice and sweet yoghurt. It would be better balanced with greek yoghurt.
Later that day I go in for a European hot chocolate and an iced coffee. So I don’t know how they normally serve the hot chocolate here but there is a big empty bowl on the counter with the small hot chocolate cups. I really can’t think of any way that decent hot chocolate could be premade to sit on a counter but just the same girl looks into the empty bowl and says they must not have it today. Umm its on the menu and just as easy to make as coffee so I don’t get that at all. Ok so I ask for 2 large iced coffees with very light ice. I was pretty ticked when the girl purposely filled the cups to the top with crushed ice. I was polite to them both times I was there so wtf. I should have just told her to keep the ice filled cups. Like I tried to put in one pump of cream a small amount of sugar and it overflowed. No reason for such poor service.
I like the décor here and I’ve had a good cappuccino here before but the menu and service needs some work. I want to like this place as there are not many good cafes in Westerly but not overly impressed so far.

I stopped by this lovely coffee shop while in the Westerly area thanks to the recommendations from some awesome Unilocalers!
The Junque N Java is situated in a nondescript little strip mall. Quite the gem!
They have high barstools overlooking the counter and windows. Sofa chairs to relax and catch up on your favorite novel. Small tables and chairs to set your laptop on and get some work done. Even some quaint outdoor patio seating by the fire.
I ordered a pumpkin muffin and a hot vanilla latte. Which was brewed and mixed with just the right amount of sweetness and cream to my liking! The pumpkin muffin was moist and fluffy. Yum. They had a wide selections of sandwiches, coffee flavors, gelatos, pastries, quiches and some healthy fan fare for those health conscious folks!
If I’m ever in the area again, I’d make sure to swing by Junque N Java for a little pick me up.

Great place. I’ve only had the coffee a few times. I order iced black and I tried one of their muffins. Those things are amazing. They sell protein smoothies and fruit smoothies too. It’s kind of a hidden gem
