njhorseman Posted August 21, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2011 is regular coffee free and the pastries free on the java cafe?i thought you had to pay for them They're supposed to be, but from what I've read I wouldn't count on every Java Cafe staffer on every ship knowing that.

NW Pacific Posted August 21, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Would be interested in more answers from cruisers that have used the Java Cafe, have "bought coffee" there before but never knew if the pastries were charged for or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerintn Posted August 21, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Our experience dates back a few years, but what we found was "sometimes" the cookies were free and other times they would not give them to you, saying that those were reserved for paying guests...they would be free, but you had to buy a specialty (espresso-based) coffee. The cookies and most of the same pastries are available in the buffet for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted August 21, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2011 On the Epic the Atrium Cafe (coffe shop) had free coffee that you could help yourself to. They also had free pastries in the morning and sandwiches/small salads/desserts later on in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoTech Posted August 21, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The pastries are supposed to be free. Never asked for one so I can't tell you for sure. With regard to the coffee: This seems to be a mixed situation. Every time I've asked for a regular (i.e. non-espresso coffee) at at Java Cafe, they've used the espresso machine to make me an "Americano" and charged me for it. I've stopped going to the Java Cafe at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcreek Posted August 21, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 21, 2011 On the Dawn, I've always bought a specialty coffee, and gotten free pastry with it. On the EPIC, it was help yourself regular coffee, and the pastries were free if you asked for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMD Posted August 21, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 21, 2011 is regular coffee free and the pastries free on the java cafe?i thought you had to pay for them On the Jewel all the pastries in the glass display case are free for the asking. No purchase required. Sometimes just walking by we spotted something good and just asked for it. I even received 'regular' coffee for my thermal mug when I happened to mention that I was on my way to the buffet for coffee. They filled my mug for free. Most every day (sometimes twice a day) I ordered their Caramel Macchiato because it was so delicious. ($4 large & well worth it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nora4sure Posted August 22, 2011 #10 Share Posted August 22, 2011 We spent some time at the Java Cafe about half way through the cruise till the end. I asked the servers how it worked. They told me that the coffees you ordered from the menu were at a cost(2.50 to 3.50$). Pastries were free whether you bought a coffee or not. They have a table always set up to the side of the service counter and the coffee from coffee urns there was free. The Java cafe is also a full service bar as well. The pastries were good. The iced coffee was good. My only comment was that I ordered and "iced Cappuccino" one day and got a "coolada" like beverage. The next day I ordered the same thing and got an iced coffee. Not that its a bad thing, but I think there was a language barrier issue. Not on my part....on theirs. It was all good and a great place to spend a little time and people watch.
