CJ's Coffee Cafe
Reviews
Love, love, love this place. We try to stop in any time we are in Denison. The coffee is great and they have some super sandwich choices. But my honey and I go for a breakfast when we can, too. Service with a smile, too? Wow, what a find it was several years ago. Now it is one of our very favorite places! Try it... you'll like it!
Some of the best customer service you can find, great fresh food. Coffee is consistent and amazing. Simply one of the places you have to visit if you are in the area...do not hesitate to get the Oatmeal Bake! DELICIOUS!
Presently, I have only TWO absolute favorite coffee shops here in north central Texas. One of them is in downtown Wylie and the other one is in downtown Denison. I refuse to step foot in those chain store hack coffee shops that begin with the letter "S". Rather, I search out those wonderful "mom and pop" coffee shops that are much more inviting with much, much better products...and besides, I believe in supporting the locally owned independent stores as much as possible. CJ's, which used to be "Country Java" is in downtown Denison a few doors down from the historical Rialto Theater. When the weather is good, you can sit outside underneath the covered patio, relax and watch life slowly go by on Main Street, or go inside and sit in the fun and comfortable atmosphere. They have a drive-up "to go" window. If you have to use the restroom, it's outside just past the drive-up window. The restroom is kept very clean. They have an excellent choice of coffees, teas, smoothies, and my favorite: Hot chocolate. You can order from their impressive menu of food that's listed on the chalk board on the wall behind the counter. Their salads, soups and sandwiches are fresh made and very tasty. Their desserts are very good, too. The staff is very friendly and sincerely glad to see you. I absolutely love this place and go there every chance I get. Just wished they'd stay open later in the evenings.
Coffee is always good. Had their blt recently, was okay but a bit bland, and the bread tasted a little old. Overall good experience through.
Great customer service. Their recommendation on the Mexican mocha as a frappe was perfect. The flavor of their house mocha (hot) was fantastic. They didn't rush the service, nor did they take too long. For a couple of traveling coffee snobs, this place was ideal. Will definitely stop in again.
