Cozy and fun coffee house with lots of artwork. It's got a nice neighborhood atmosphere. And a gift shop for not only junk and Java merchandise, but a handcrafted beautiful items. Including jewelry. they are worth the trip

I visited this place while on vacation, and I’m so glad I did! This shop is just so cute! It’s very busy, but there is tons of seating, and the baristas definitely hustle! It also has the cutest little gift shop attached, and the food and coffee is amazing! I ordered the chubby bunny latte and a coffee cake muffin, then milled around in the shop forever. The coffee cake muffin was fluffy and moist with a perfect crumb topping, and the latte was amazing. I was too busy shopping in the gift shop so I let the cold foam mostly melt on my iced latte and I don’t remember what was in it, but it was great, and it came with a little marshmallow Peep on the top! Seriously, this is the best coffee shop in town! We need one in Florida!

Stop in this past weekend after spending a cool day volunteering outside near Watch Hill. We were looking for something warm and the coffee shop caught our eyes. The shop was fairly busy, but we were able to quickly place and receive our orders. The interior was inviting and clean with plenty of seating and tables to hangout while enjoying your beverage of choice. Definitely, worth stopping in when in the area.

Incredible ORGANIC and local coffee! It's so hard to find a coffee shop that uses all organic beans! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, the layout is fun and funky and the overall vibe is awesome! The baked goods are all so delicious and it's hard to pick just one. I only wish there was a similar spot in the mystic ct area and I didn't have to travel so far for a coffee.... although that could get dangerously expensive! So I'll count my blessings Cheers

It's such a cool place to enjoy a cup of coffee !! The coffee options are very cool and unique. The baked goods looked fresh and yummy. I loved the gift shop. It's in a good location close with a nice parking lot.

Steve and I have travelled around the United States looking for the best Coffee shops. We found the "BEAST of the EAST" coffee shop, JUNK & JAVA in Westerly Rhode Island! When it comes to barista's and pastries they are easily the best this side of the Mississippi! There are so many outstanding barista's there, it is hard to pick just one as the best. The Turmeric Lattes and cappuccinos they made were crazy good and addicting!! Coupled with a delicious pastry, it made for a relaxing enjoyable experience over coffee. Steve and I are pictured with the owner Alexis, affectionally nicknamed "Siri!" She puts her heart and soul into Junk & Java to set the interesting and eclectic atmosphere of this unique ONE OF A KIND coffee shop! The other picture is of Alexis with one of her STAR BARISTAS: nicknamed "Gardenia" after one of her tattoos. She could make a great Latte or cappuccino!! The other picture is of their really unusual logo; it is eye-catching with a family story! JUNK & JAVA, what a great place to relax over morning or afternoon coffee; the "merch" is pretty cool too; I have my T-shirts! Thank you "Siri" for adding a people-pleasing, new dimension to coffee breaks!!

Such a cool vibe at this shop! It was my first time visiting and I was so surprised when I walked inside. It has an eclectic style that works so well and makes it fun! Plenty of space to meet up with a group for fun or sit down and hammer out some work solo. I loved how they had bins of legos scattered around that anyone could play with. Food and drinks were awesome! Would definitely recommend!
