Java Shack - Dartmouth

Cute little coffee shop right of I195. The staff was super nice. Food options seem a bit limited but wide enough variety you can get breakfast. Standard option of coffees and flavors. There was a small cooler with some bottled beverages. Pricing isstandard. The food was really good for what we ordered. Wait times were a little long but I was in no rush. Indoor and outdoorseating. Overall I'd go back again if I was in the area.

Love cozy and local coffee shops. Great staff and atmosphere

Summary: Glitchy website, slow serviceThe first time I tried going for an acai bowl during my break, it wasn't too busy but they told me it would be a 30-minute wait so I left and went to Dunkin instead.The second time I tried to plan ahead and order online, but the acai bowl wasn't an option so I picked a yogurt parfait. The website was super glitchy on the checkout page so I could not enter payment info, but thankfully my friend I was meeting with was able to place the order. Even with ordering ahead, you have to wait in line to get the food. I can see this being reasonable for things like the parfait and acai bowls that need to be in the fridge, but the other food items are bagged and ready to go. It would be nice if they had a pickup area like other places with online ordering.Some operational changes could make for smoother service. If I want to wait 30 minutes for food I would go to a restaurant. The lack of being able to do a quick pick up will keep this cafe from becoming a go to lunch spot.

We walked in excited and hungry to try a new place, unfortunately we waited so long for just 2 acai bowls!! everyone who came after us got their food before us! When we got our bowls they were melted like they have been sitting there. The acai base was disappointing, i spent 21 dollars for 2 bowls to go to waste because of the awful taste, and to top it off it was disgustingly stuck in our teeth and stained our lips a purple color, i’m upset.

I wouldn’t have believed New Bedford would have such a great coffee shop! Delicious fresh coffee and espresso with extremely friendly staff.
