Java Joint Milkshake Parlor - Lead

We entered the restaurant and were immediately struck by its unique and vibrant atmosphere. The variety of milkshake flavors was astounding. We tried four different ones, and each was the best we've ever tasted. Our server was incredibly friendly and enjoyable to chat with. It felt like there was half a bucket of ice cream in each shake, generously topped and mixed to perfection. Although the food looked appealing, we were primarily there for the ice cream.

The drinks were perfect after a stroll on a warm day—a strawberry-banana smoothie and an espresso milkshake. Delicious! I really enjoyed sitting indoors while listening to music videos, and there were also some gaming videos available downstairs.

I enjoyed this place so much! It has the best smoothies and milkshakes. I love the vibes and it’s awesome because they also have air hockey! I can’t wait to come back!

We stopped for coffee and ice cream. The food and drinks were good. The service was good. They got slammed right after we arrived and so they were busy. The workers took all the orders before they started to work on ours, so we were there for about 30 minutes for four ice creams and one iced coffee.The atmosphere was not my thing. There was a lot of kitschy stuff all over the place. On the tv they had music videos playing that I didn't really care for my kids to see so I had them wait outside with mom. Other than that, most of it was fine but was just over done.The biggest concerns I had were safety. There was a light fixture that seemed to not be working even though it looked like it was connected to electricity that had toys hanging from it. The bathroom had a lamp plugged into a non-GFI plug that sat on the counter next to the sink. They had multiple grills plugged into the wall for cooking their sandwiches. I'm pretty sure a fire marshal would have a lot of paperwork if he went in there.

Love love love this place! Sad I didn't know they've been there 5 years now! We'll definitely be back, next time with some books for their take a book, leave a book shelf and some knick knacks for up in the rafters! Awesome spot. Love the old school music videos and seating, and tables made out of old doors. Customers get to sign the walls, floors and benches on the way out. Very cool merchandise available for purchase and everyone who buys a drink or food item gets to pick a sticker from their sticker bin too which has almost too many cool ones to choose from. Can't say enough good things. If it was closer to Rapid I'd totally apply to work there just cuz I love the atmosphere enough to wanna hang out there all day. Thanks ladies, great job!Kid-friendliness: They were super nice about our daughter accidentally spilling some of her milkshake on the floor and they were so patient with our son running around wanting to touch everything.
