Java Express

When I’m craving coffee I sometimes go here because it’s closer than Starbucks. White mochas are yummy iced or hot! Family owned place. Super sweet ladies. Definitely will keep coming back.

I love this place. I stop every morning to get my favorite hot white mocha. Andrea is the best, she makes my drink filled to the top and just how I like it. However I found the bleach blonde lady whom I believe is the owner to be some what snotty and rude. Every time I deal with her my drink is cold and only filled up to the middle. For example, yesterday I ordered a 12 oz which really turned out to be half foam and whip cream. I could tell right away when she handed it to me that it was very light. With that said I will not go there on Tuesday and Thursday unless I want to get robbed.

I love this placel… they Have a great staff that all know where they get their coffee… They have super moist muffins for breakfast… And their drinks are yummy

Very berry smoothie taste like watered down smoothie. Can’t really taste the fruits.
Next time I’ll have to try coffee.
Good customer service!

I’ve been coming to this drive thru coffee shop for years. It’s convenient, on the way to work and speedy. The workers know you by name! They also have your drink orders memorized that is what makes this place so special. I see a lot of regulars and new customers building up. The coffee and service is great. I would highly recommend this place!

Always stop by its sometimes busy so you have to wait a bit. but I
Love this place I usually get smoothie and Italian soda friendly people good price.

I have been a loyal customer for years! The baristas here always have a great attitude and a friendly smile to great you with. They do the frequent customer card thing, so make sure you keep that bad boy in your wallet! They offer soy for dietary restrictions, but I just get a soy iced latte because it’s damn refreshing!

I really like the convenience of the Java Express, as it is a little double drive thru coffee house located at the intersection of the road and the Boulevard, namely Fruitridge and Stockton. If you are a morning «99 North driver» and didn’t have time to grab your cup of Java at the house, the Java Express offers a quick «drive thru» option to fulfill your caffeinated needs. And by the way morning Northys, it’s easy to find. Simply exit on Fruitridge East, which I believe is Exit 295, and drive through the intersection at Stockton Boulevard. Enter in the second driveway the turn right to the drive up window.
The coffee here is delicious and the Barista has no problem handling complex orders with a smile. I happen to love the Chai at Java Express and I usually add 2 shots of espresso to kick it up a notch!
Navigating out of the parking lot can be a bit trick, however, I have discovered the following path is the quickest way to get back on the highway:
When you are done with your order turn left and head (South) through the long parking lot, which runs parallel to Stockton Blvd. Exit at the end of the lot where the light signal is and turn right onto Stockton Blvd. Stay to the left to get into the left turn pocket, which will get you back onto Fruitridge Road. Make sure to be in the outside lane of the turn pocket when turning onto Fruitridge as highways 99 comes up real quick on the right side of Fruitridge.
Final Note:
I deducted 1 star because I am not too impressed with the pastries and light food menu, but truth being told, this little place is ALL about the Java! Oh and a final thought, please be aware of the fact that this kitschy little coffee house is very small and you will be able to see people on the opposing drive up window. The last time I was there I saw fellow YE Squad member Yolanda R (Granite Bay.) I smiled, waved, and said hello but she seemed to be busy as she was getting Jose F’s order. Nevertheless, I am certain that if you go to Java Express you will be delightfully surprised at how delicious and well balanced their coffee is.

Nice little, local shop. The coffee is strong, just like I like mahh men. Hahaha. Great place!!!

I live in West Sacramento and I can’t get enough of this place. The coffee is great and I love the logo. They also have yummy muffins and a friendly staff. Also, if you’re in the mood for the best breakfast burrito in town Alonzo’s next door has got you covered.

Good coffee and fast service. I love the drive thru aspect and the fact that it’s on my way to work. This is one of the only coffee places that has banana syrup. My drink when I’m being good — NF vanilla latte or vanilla/​banana latte. My drink when I don’t care how many calories I consume — banana white mocha w/​whipped cream. Mmm mmm!
I work at a company that has the motto of «We start with Trust». With the cups being numbered (check out the bottom), I don’t think this company has that same kind of trust in their employees which is too bad. This may attribute to why some of the reviews are talking about angry or detached employees… just sayin.

Delicious coffee on our way to grandma’s in Sacramento. The girl was super quick and remembered our order. The best part came when we all got our drinks. Everything tasted amazing and we were all happy. She definitely deserved a tip! This coffee was better than what I’ve had at Starbucks.

Good coffee, but the guy with the fading music tattoo has no personality and NEVER smiles! Makes me feel like he is mad about having to work there…

This place is good in a pinch. I had an iced mocha last time and it was a little bitter. At times the employees can take their time getting to the window to take my order but the drinks usually come pretty quickly.

The BEST Batista ever, DONNA! Hands down she makes the best coffee in town, you would be lucky if she is working. Dont forget to Tip her $$$$$

I hang out in a nearby area frequently and marvel at the lack of good coffee. Glad I found this place. Its a short drive and much better than gas station coffee.

This place is great, coffee tastes awesome, staff is friendly, prices are very reasonable. Please support this place, this is the way coffee should be. I wish there were more of these around Sac.

Pulled in to this drive-​thru coffee stand in the Fruitridge Shopping Center (conveniently located at the intersection of Fruitridge and Stockton Blvd) to dose my hyper-​caffeinated co-​worker. It seems that this friend of mine MUST HAVE COFFEE at certain periods of the day (notably, after lunch) or he will implode.
Without any other recognizable coffee shops within several blocks along Stockton Boulevard, we chose this place. Service was prompt, prices were reasonable, and my buddy’s Caffe Americano was made right-​quick! They don’t skimp… this wasn’t overwarmed brewed coffee, but two shots of espresso diluted in hot water. My stimulant-​craving passenger was very pleased with the quality and flavor of his beverage and was able to restore his otherwise plummeting serum caffeine level.
High-​ho. It’s back to work we go!
