Coffee is decent, nothing spectacular. I have to drink decaf being pregnant. It didnt taste bad for decaf, but not great, kinda flavorless compared to other coffee shops. Neat soda options. Very pretty area. Only $8.54 for large devaf latte and glass bottled cane sugar soda. I wanted to try Grounded but they were closed.

The wife and kids loved the coffee and the cheese cake!! However, Check the 7th picture, the bread was super moldy, maybe stick with the coffee. Also has lots of cool seating areas and a back seating area that over looks the stream.

We stopped at Qualla Java Cafe for a coffee break and we were pleasantly surprised by the large variety of vegan options available. Their menu is pretty good and you can switch any of the options with 4 milk alternatives. This is amazing! We had 2 cold drinks and they both tasted delicious! Definitely a place I will recommend and that I would go back to!

Wonderful coffee shop… so wonderful I made two trips. I lost my ring this coffee shop and the staff went above and beyond to help me find it… after it was lost for a whole day! I am so grateful and this deserves a 5 star review… not to mention thankful for a kind staff and great tasting coffee! Try any iced latte you will not be disappointed. Also the vibe is great as well, very nice place. I would be a frequent visitor if we lived closer.

Gorgeous location. Tables on patio, able to relax with sound. of river. Great first impression. Four stars on food due to our peach scone. Could not detect anything "peachy".
