Java

To say Uppermill is a fairly small place, you are quite spoilt for choice with cafes, coffee shops and little restaurants. Java is one that I have visited a number of times purely because I love the interior, the coffee, and it’s outdoor seating under heaters. However, I can’t help but wish Java offered more of an extensive menu. I’m not sure if the mini menu, which is all written on black boards which is a slight pain as you have to physically get up and walk around to find them, is meant to be small to keep it very ‘unique’. After all, it specialises in mezze boards, meat and cheese platters, tarts and soups. I feel it should offer more lunchtime options, like baguettes with chips, jacket potatoes… just a few more filling options.
Nevertheless, this is the second time I have been and experienced the meat and mezze platter, and they are really tasty. Just quite limited. I’ll take my hat off to Java though as they are one of the only places in Uppermill to offer soya milk coffees, and the soya lattes are lovely too.
Slightly uncomfortable eating and drinking upstaires when you elbow is literally falling onto the next-​door table, but I suppose the crammed and close knit set-​up adds to it’s cosy feel and ambiance.

A fantastic coffee shop come rain or shine !

Nice place for coffee, in a nice area/​setting. Prices are reasonable and would visit again. Was incredibly busy due to bank holiday and it’s pretty cramped so don’t go I you want space. Otherwise a good experience.

Don’t go here if you have a 8 week old, 5 year old & a pram with a nappy bag.
There is no room to swing a barista about and Java have tried to squeeze a table in at every opportunity they can.
The place does have a smell of «I drink here so i have money» but while the posh people of Saddleworth, Delph who think they still are or want to be in Yorkshire do drink here, the prices are quite normal.
Hot Chocolate was very watery according to my partner and my Mochchino was nothing special.
I have been to better Cafè’s in Uppermill

The best coffee in the West Riding! Excellent selection of wines. Large outdoor covered, heated area for the wRm sunny days we have. A good selection of teas, cakes and sandwiches. Friendly staff.

Sister of the Java in Manchester.
Big outdoor seating area — great for the non-​rainy days in Uppermill. Not so big inside — I would say cosy is the word to describe the seating inside the coffee shop, deli and bar. With a selection of wine I presume this place is open in the evenings. The deli selection is fab — pastas, sauces, cheese, meats, bread, juices, coffees and on and on…
Worth a visit if you are up in’t hills of Oldham.
