"I 'm usually not one to give bad reviews but here we are... This morning, I thought I 'd give Java a try I 've read reviews where people have mentioned that it 's a long wait in the morning, but I figured since I 'm early enough before work I would give it a go. I arrived at 8:15am and pulled out of the drive-thru at 8:40 am there was only 2 cars ahead of me. I would have drove away but was blocked by other vehicles if you been there, you understand the drive-thru situation is not the best. If waiting, there for so long wasn 't bad enough it got even worse. The barista came out of the shop to take the order of the car in front of mine which had 2 large dogs and she started petting them and allowing the dogs to lick her hands with slobber dripping from the dog 's mouth. I wouldn 't mind so much that she was giving affection to the dogs because I myself love animals but what happen next is what had me write this review, the barista walked back into the shop rubs her hand on her pants because it had slobber and started making coffee right after not once did, she even considered washing her hands. when you are dealing with food you should have better hygiene methods as basic as hand washing. Working in the healthcare field we are so diligent about hygiene because we understand cross contamination especially because she was touching every handle of the coffee machine and other baristas are using the same ones and making bagels and breakfast sandwiches. I wish I knew the baristas name so I could speak to her manager. I wonder if her sweet tattoo on the back of her arm would help me identify who she is.I hope whoever is ruining this business sees this and teaches the baristas better hygiene methods. If I could give my experience here a negative star I would. I 'm so disappointed I honestly wanted to support a small business, but I will not be coming back."
