Java Bar Espresso in Manchester

Best decaf latte I've had in a long time. Much better than large competitor cafe inside the Oxford Road train station. Thank you!!! 🙂

Very unfriendly and not welcoming staff. Coffee was super bitter and milk was burnt. I throw a coffee to the bin after a couple sips. I don't know if someone who works there is new but everything what could go wrong, it went wrong.

White Chocolate Cannoli is a game changer!

white chocolate cannoli is really good! and the service was amazing :) highly recommend it!

Lovely independent coffee shop right next to Oxford Road Station. The service was great! Very friendly and welcoming. My Americano was delicious and the chocolate cannoli was amazing! I’d definitely go back!

Hi, I was in the espresso bar some weeks ago (11.10.24 @19.00), I think i left my sunglasses... I sent a message but i didn't hear back from you... Also the phone shown in maps doesn't appear to be working. Can you please let me know if you found them? Thanks.

Fab atmosphere and good quality hot drinks

Tasty and reasonable price coffee in center of Manchester - great place for people watching too !

I love going to different places for great smelling plus fading coffee but l don't think Java is for me. Impersonal service plus average coffee with a poor ambience all round.

Outstanding coffee, food, and atmosphere! The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The coffee is very high quality and delicious!. I had the breakfast roll, and it was that tasty, I had to order another! Highly recommended!

Fast service and friendly staff would recommend if near manchester Oxford road

Always love coming here on a Saturday for a coffee and chill before the gym. Always nice staff comfortable seating and great atmosphere. The one negative would be sometimes the toilet gets smelly and seeps into the main sitting area.

Best train station cafe in the country

Dropped by this cute cafe with a friend. The hot drinks we ordered were absolutely delightful and the staff were friendly and professional. We shall be returning.

Lovely space. Great staff. Cosy and good place to people watch.

Great coffee with nutropics - highly recommend. Wrong place on maps?

Great coffee and fab service! I’ve been passing this place so many times and could never find a minute to pop in for a coffee. I wish I could come here sooner! I am a big coffee lover so I’m picky with flavours. This place made it perfect with perfect milk temperature. They also mix different mushroom powders such as lions made, reishi etc into your coffee for extra charge, but I’m loving this idea!! Thank you for great and fast service:)

Nice little cafe with excellent coffee and friendly service. Definitely coming back here again. Note: the location showing on Google Maps is wrong at the time of this posting. The cafe located right outside the Oxford Road Train Station, next to Gourmet Coffee Bar and Kitchen.

Actually my favourite coffee in Manchester ... So much so that my partner and I visited twice in one day.

Very nice cafe but absolutely spoiled with a poor customer service. It is shocking and sad that someone (male) can be so unpleasant and condescending. That could of been our everyday coffee place but am sure I will not go back.

Two people working on the coffee bar, took ages to get served as they did not stop chatting to each other. When i did get served, he made my coffees then slammed them down on the counter. Coffee everywhere. Asked for another plate and he said "its only a spill" with a lot of sass. I explained i don't want to be covered in coffee. He then forgot my croissants. Coffee is dead bitter. Don't bother x

Missing this place, I used to live next to it. My favourite café in Manchester with the best playlist music list :)

Breakfast was fab! Best breakfast I’ve had in a long time! Will definitely be back next time in Manchester

Friendly service. A nice hidden gem near Oxford Road train station. A great place to stop in for a tea or coffee before you get a train.

Quick review as this was the best cup of coffee I have had anywhere in Manchester so far. Definitely recommend and visit again.

Must of Manchester! Essential. Head in grab a beatiful coffee, crisp soft drink, or train beer. I always buy a set of Cannolis each time I pass, delicous little treats perfect for helping make someones day. Also best spot for relaxing and watching the world go by.

I found this place in search of good coffee and a full english breakfast after a night out. the food is heavenly like i thought ahh just a greasy fry up.. NO the herbs, the flavours best breakfast I've had in a long time, the coffee is on point so nice! The atmosphere is really chilled out and welcoming. the service is second to none.

Coffe Junkie here! Java serves the best coffee in Manchester. Rich, smokey and Strong. Do stop by if you are travelling via Oxford road.

店員友善，見他服務有視障的顧客們態度熱心有耐性，而他沖泡的咖啡也很好。

Good coffee, breakfast.i would go back.

Really good quality coffee selection, and a very relaxed atmosphere. Worth popping in!

Great coffee bar, friendly staff and a very welcoming atmosphere.

Chilled atmosphere beautiful coffee, we had fresh canoli's this just hit the spot after a rainy day in Manchester, thank you very much.

Popped in here for breakfast to takeaway and felt so welcome! Such warm energy and as for the bacon sandwiches . . . Wow! Very tasty. Highly recommend when in Manchester Oxford road. (Plus the coffee is amazing!)

Best takeout coffee in Manchester and beautifully authentic Italian desserts

Klein, gemütlich, freundliche Gastgeber. Top Kaffee und leckere kleines Süßigkeiten. Es gibt auch belegte Baguettes.

Perfect place when getting off the train, staff are lovely, great atmosphere and not too packed.

Young guy serving me was fab, knew products and was really nice, put me on coconut milk hot chocolates too!

This is the best coffee place close to Oxford road, you literally pass it as you walk down. Service is always quick. They sell cannolis, pastries and sandwiches. Also wine and beer, and nutropics (?) if that’s your thing. There are seats inside and a single toilet for customers.

This was my No1 cafe to go, until a mouse ran under the table

Coffee machine is never ready when it's supposed to be open on every occasion I have tried to get coffee.

No service. Server treat you like you owe her money. Espresso like cheap instant coffee

Always a good spot this one and an odd layout meaning a good collection of seating available around the serving area. Great coffee and other things to have here while waiting for trains.

One of the best coffee shops in Manchester.

The absolutely most miserable and unhelpful bar staff. Do not go.

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Slow service, and unfortunately burnt coffee. The staff seemed indifferent to producing high quality service and while I did turn up in the early afternoon after a morning service, I don't think the cleanliness of their clothes and the general cafe seating area was really up to a good enough standard. A cafe that clearly relies on being close to the station too much.

Arrived at 9.48 to be told there would be a 25 minute wait for the coffee machine to warm up!! They opened over 2 hours ago! Think someone had a late night and was late for work 🤔

Disappointingly wasn't ready to serve as per hours specified here or on the door. Waited until around 10am for coffee, then no food until after 10am so went hungry and just had a coffee as needed to make a train. Wish I had gone elsewhere but no time. Not a good Sunday morning reliance.

Had my first date with my now Fiance here years ago, it was beautiful then and it's still great now! The coffee is delightful and the cakes and other sweet treats are truly worth it!

Jó hely. Picit drága. Kedves kiszolgálás.

Coffee was good but place really dirty…

Excellent coffee made by the barista Abraham you’ll find here 👍👍.

Great coffee and service well worth a visit

Cute vibe and the mocha was one of the nicest I've had in Manchester. Good quality coffee beans!

My favourite coffee bar, non of this corporate "stuff". You can just go there and relax.

Decent coffee, but come on only half a cup🤯😡

The quality of the coffee was good but not up to the high standard I'm used to elsewhere in this small local chain. Staff were in a world of their own and not particularly work focussed. The outlet in Victoria station is much better and more professional and generally better kept. I'd hazard that the coffee in the outlet in Victoria is the best in Manchester city centre.

Despite the difficulties that Covid brings, this place represents everything that Manchester does when it’s at its best. Great friendly service with humanity and patience fronting up lovely food and coffee. Today’s staff member relaxed us and made my little girl feel like a valued customer. Class. No pretentiousness, just humility and care. Good work!!!

Excellent oasis close to Deansgate Station. Unlike other outlets we tried that day in Manchester this cafe actually welcomed customers. How's that for a bright idea?

Just outside Oxford Rd station. Wonderful coffee.. much needed after a draughty 156 on a cold day from Lime Street.

The most bitter tasting capaccino I have ever had so mystifying why this place has such good reviews.

Latte was really tasty, we also tasted the Pistachio and Salted caramel canolis which were delicious.

A good little coffee shop just outside Victoria Station. A great spot to people watch while waiting for friends

They say their flat white is the best this side of Melbourne and I don't disagree

The legendary café. Still as good as it ever was. If not better!

A great little spot right by Manchester Oxford Road Station. Lovely drinks selection and delicious little pastries. Friendly service.

Amazing coffee guys!!!! Good job!!!! 10/10 🙌🏼👏🏼

We were given a lovely Saturday morning welcome here, really friendly and delicious coffee and muffin. I had the famous flat white and it was great.

Barista this morning superb. Fantastic coffee shop

Had a flat white and a cannolo. It's the best flat white I've had anywhere. It was delightful drinking it. It's only a very small caffe, can only a handful of people but it's near a station so on the go it's ok. If you have time to kill sit outside have a coffee or perhaps an amstell which they had on tap when I went in.

Really loved this place. A little hole in the wall place near the train station. Very quiet on a Tuesday afternoon and open later than most other coffee shops in the area. Some delicious pastries and variety of drinks hot or iced. They also had milk alternatives which was great! Potential lack of parking but quite easy to get to on foot. The indoor is probably not accessible but there are outdoor tables to enjoy the nice weather

Back and Java Bar retains its specialness. Tonight - Moldovan Chardonnay and it was a delight along with the amazing service. Give local your custom.

Terrible coffee, dirty cups! Never again!

Enjoyed a lovely flat white coffee with a lemon and a hazelnut canoli. Convenient location next to the Oxford Road Manchester train station and near the university. Outdoor seating, so convenient for social distancing for to covid 19. Would recommend.

Appallingly slow service. Poor lad may have been a beginner, but the manager would not help him out despite a queue forming.

Great to stop off for a coffee. Great coffee and choice of light bites.

Good coffee with pleasant staff and quick service.

Excellent coffee and a good selection of alcoholic beverages

Great espresso, lovely vibe, wish they baked their own pastries instead of ordering prepackaged ones however

Lovely cafe bar. Great place to get a good coffee for your train journey

Close to train station, always great service. Recommend the toasted panettone as a little sweet treat.

Regular stop everytime thru Oxford Road station.

A little on the expensive side but the coffee is good and the service is quick. Outside seating area.

Decent coffee with a nice old school 'brown cafe' vibe. Decent music too. A chilled start to your day.....

A lovely little suprise. After an early start and no breakfast this lovely little cafe was the first establishment that came into view on leaving the station. Fabulous coffee good bacon bagel and great service.

Best coffee in Manchester...probably!

This is one of my favourite coffee houses in the country. The coffee is really good and the snack food is excellent (try the pies for example) This place has stood the test of time and I always look forward to going to Java when I visit Manchester. It's an interesting shape inside and the staff are lovely. Top place!

A fairly regular haunt. Independent coffee shop, much prefer this place to the Starbucks stuff.

Great coffee, convenience location. Recommended.

Good coffee provided very close to the station. Food looked good but we were already booked elsewhere.Friendly staff.

Really nutty tasting almond milk!

Nice coffee near Oxford Road station

Un café que lleva ya tiempo abierto y que es una buena elección para tomar algo en la zona

Really nice little place. Great atmo. Staff tend to be a little bit ... shall we say standoffish. But not rude.

Quality coffee at this independent cafe.

Advertising that they sell wine and beer on hand written signs outside. Go inside, grab two bottles of black sheep, put it in the counter. Waited for someone to actually come to serve us. Started to ring up a bag of crisps and then tell us that they don't serve alcohol until 11. This is a chain that advertises itself as a café bar, has several franchises at busy train stations but apparently can't afford a proper license even though they advertise themselves as a bar.

Fantastic, great place to eat, drink and relax when in Sheffield, highly recommended

Lovely coffee before watching Mormon.

Convenient location, clean with a good range. Very pleasant staff makes such a difference
