Java Dock Cafe' - Port Washington

Love this place! It can get busy in the mornings on the weekend, and that can add a nice buzz to the day.

I used to love Java dock. In highschool a big group of us came here everyday and there were couches, It was down to earth, natural, cool. I came up to the outdoor window for the first time which is a great idea that wasn’t used before, with my dog. The employee was moving around opening fridges, there was no one in side so I waited to not be rude with the bell and obviously she could see me and finally I said something. I had 30 minutes and this was a rare treat because I had 40 dollars in my bank account for two weeks, my dog lives in a kennel in my parents garage every day 24 hours a day except for the time I take him out because I’ve almost died and been in bed the last year. I’m trying to get my life back together and give my dog what he deserves. I was friendly with the blonde haired girl in her mid twenties wearing a band t-shirt for the cure, told her when I saw them live asked her about music. Whatever. I ordered a medium cafe aulait with milk alternative and asked for whipped cream for my dog. She set down the drink and said here’s your drink went to the other counter and looked back with a dirty look. If what she really wanted to say is “this isn’t Starbucks” the proper answer would be, ‘I apologize I can’t do the whipped cream.’ She charged me over $7 dollars I think it was $7.15. Which is insane. The same drink at two other places is under $6 I waited a bit but the dirty look implied that’s a no, so then my bank account was down to $32.80 and I drank my Luke warm milk mixed with coffee, and my dog was getting a 15 minute walk for this 24 hours and no treat. I take my dog to McDonald’s after the dog park and I just order a hamburger for him and the other day they came out with a little cup of ice-cream for him we didn’t ask for it was so nice. I guess it takes life experience to know how hard life can be and how your interaction impacts others.

Lovely people and great drinks and service! The atmosphere is rather cold I remember what it looked like before the remodel and was disappointed when I went recently with my friends to find out all the conversational seating and cute mis matched chairs were replaced and now everything is painted grey. (Also please note the shop not handicap accessible as the only seating is upstairs). I love the cafe's guitar and games available upstairs by the seating and the food and service are great! Dietary restrictions: Dairy free and gluten free options Parking: Public parking available next to building and street parking too

I’ve been coming to Java Dock for almost 15 years now. Coffee is phenomenal, food is phenomenal, staff is phenomenal, and the atmosphere is relaxing. I could not have anything better to say about this place. It’s near and dear to my heart.

The cafe wasn’t open over the holidays when we went to visit but the peppermint coffee and the strawberry smoothie was delicious. The local artwork, photography and paintings in the upstairs seating area makes it feel really comfortable for an outing with friends. It was quiet upstairs and the sunlight from all the windows was really nice even on an overcast day.
