A café love’s paradise, Javista Organic Coffee Bar shines as the sip star of Sunset Boulevard. The staff is knowledgeable about their sizable menu, and their coffee shop poses as the perfect spot to catch up with a friend or catch up on work. The inside is decorated with fairy lights, rustic wood touches, and candles for sale–handmade by the staff themselves. Javista has outdoor seating available with several tables in a convenient, West Hollywood location.
Javista offers a delicious menu of lattes, including: chaggachinos (lattes made of chaga mushroom, monk fruit sweetness, and cacao), turmeric lattes, matcha drinks, and CBD lattes. If you’re looking for a bite, perhaps accompany your coffee with an almond croissant, gluten-free orange-chia sweet bread, or a blueberry vegan muffin. No matter when you visit, breakfast is available all day, as well as a host of sandwiches and salads.
We ordered the tantalizingly refreshing hemp extract CBD cocktail. This special tea drink, made with hemp milk, come in three flavors: Jade (matcha), Roobie (rooibos), and Gold (turmeric). The drink contains 15mg of CBD. To my delight (as a coffee shop connoisseur), the latte possessed a creamsicle colored hue that I’ve never seen in a drink before. The monk fruit provided a sugary sweetness, and the latte was smooth and creamy. A perfect Saturday afternoon sip, we felt luxurious indulging in the hemp extract cocktails.
To pair with our beverages, we ordered the vegan delight sandwich. While Javista offered many different sandwich breads (including gluten free options), we went with the baguette. Crispy and freshly baked, the baguette’s crunch foretold the delicious delight waiting between the bun. Fresh slices of avocado, spring mix greens, heirloom tomatoes, bruschetta, and fresh basil decorated the inside of the savory sandwich. The flavors of the basil and fresh bruschetta shined, and the vegan delight made for the perfect lunch. Javista makes food that you feel good about eating. My meal tasted so garden-fresh; it was as if a staff member had made a run to the farmer’s market after we ordered to buy us the most unprocessed ingredients around. We will absolutely be back to try more of Javista’s drool-worthy lattes and delicious food.
