on Citysearch Jun 28, 2009We were in the area and wanted something good to each for breakfast and had heard about Java Jive. So we looked them up and the experience was great. This quaint little spot on Ponce is a wonderful treat to the taste buds.... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 02, 2009My friend recommended Java Jive, and I was so looking forward to a casual and delicious mid-week brunch. I didn't know they only accepted cash, and I didn't have cash, so I was forced to use their ATM machine which... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 15, 2008Java Jive is better anyway. Even the biscuits are better here. And the coffee is better than any I've ever had outside of a gourmet coffee shop. I love their various scrambles. Anyone over the age of about 50 will also... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 22, 2008As an avid weekend breakfast guru, I felt compelled to write my first review after the most disappointing brunch ever. We were seated right away and the food came quickly, but thats all the good I can say. We never saw... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 17, 2008This place doesn't accept plastic. Honestly, I don't understand what all the rave is about with this place. I much prefer J. Christophers. (more)

on Citysearch Mar 22, 2008The food and service at Java Jive are AWESOME!!! The service staff at this place are super nice and always keep your cup full. However, they could use some better management. Fore example: J. Christopher is right... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 06, 2007If you want a truly unique experience go to Java Jive. The BEST breakfast in Atlanta and I should know because I've tried them all. Steven is a great chef. Shara is a great hostess. They are REAL people. They do not dress... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 20, 2007Me and my gf went there on a weekend - told we had to wait 20 mins, which turned into 1 hr!! Before giving us a table, they set up a table for a group of 4 that came in long after us. Staff is rude, menu limited, food is of small... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 02, 2007When I walked in I thought the '50s decor was cute... holy mother of god! When I sat down at the table, the decor was outshined by the cute waitstaff! Looks aside, the coffee here is absolutely unrivaled. I love... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 02, 2007Excellent food. Courteous and fun wait staff. Sunday AM is crazy, Saturday AM less so. Biscuits are incredible. One nit pick; guests are required to pay for coffee while waiting for a table. Concerning available... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 29, 2007I felt the need to respond to the idiot woman and her gabbing girlfriends in the review below. If you have ever been to Java Jive on a saturday then you know how crowded it gets. The fact that management asked them to give... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 01, 2007I brought a large group of women (6) for breakfast and was asked to leave after we completed our meal because other people wanted to be seated. Little did they know we were more than prepared to order after breakfast... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 17, 2007Kitschy diner food priced above average, limited menu with long waits and slow service on weekends. Pricey for the venue and long waits leave a lot to be desired. Luckily the wheat germ pancakes with cinnamon butter... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 07, 2007Having eaten waffles at Radial, Thumbs Up, and Ron & Gladys' , I can confidently say that Java Jive's are the best of the bunch for the simple reason that they have the most crisp exterior. The biscuits are similar to... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 29, 2006From the moment you enter this little hip, high kitch, hole-in-the wall place, a smile will come across your face. Is it "Leave It To The Beav"or "Ozzie and Harriet"? Retro appliances are everywhere, and the aroma of... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 24, 2006Java Jive is a great little neighborhood joint. The omelets and pancakes are solid, if unspectacular. The real highlights are the biscuitss and the gingerbread waffle served with lemon curd. The biscuits are the... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 29, 2005They open at 9 am. As we stood outside in a downpour, the wait staff made no effort to let us in -- AND IT WAS AFTER 9AM! I had given up on this restaurant and its lousy service once, but was giving them another chance -- last... (more)
