the java hut

absolutely lovejavahut, perfect for breakfast, brunch, quick coffee catch up. anything! food is amazing, whether you prefer savoury or have a sweet tooth,javahut will not disappoint. pancakes are always a hit, definitely recommend!

love thejavahut for a big decent feed 👍 i havent tried the light meals/main meals but have been for the all day breakfast multiple times and it's always been great.
in the photo is my hot chocolate which comes in a massive mug that i did not expect 😂 the other photo has the big breakfast and mega breakfast ordered by my partner on the other side of the table.

when i went to thejavahut it was very squished and smelt horrible, to many people! the decor was outdated and tacky. i got an iced coffee, it was very nice but definitely on the sweeter side. i got the bannana pancakes, the pancakes were fluffy but the bananas ontop were soaked in fatty disgusting butter! ewww!! this ruined the whole meal. waiters are unfriendly and slow! would not recommend 🙁

best pancake place around!! best value for money, lovely service, nice space and delicious feed in the heart of gawler! 'teeka' and 'tookie' are my faves by far! great milkshakes and love that they do teapot tea. also if u live or wrk in the area they deliver too- have had many a sunday morningjavadelivered 2me at the old spot hotel before it was the golden fleece 😀
love it here and will continue 2keep coming!!👌

we were let down by the usually good service this morning atjavahut. most of our group had finished eating by the time my wife and i were served our meal - staff had lost the docket, no-one noticed we were without a meal and we had to ask where our order had gone. not good enoughjavahut. suggest your procedures and staff training get a brush up.

so impressed!!!. i lovejavahut! i had the $10 breakfeast and it was amazing and so cheap!! you get so much food! the coffee's are also massive and cheap! i would recommend to at least try it! i'm addicted now

fantastic value!!!!. although my children have been before, i had not! i cant believe i didnt know about thejavahut!!! it was amazing in: value for money, taste, service, quality and quantity!! my husband and i took my parents, and we all struggled to finish. cant wait to go again next week, will try the savoury pancakes, believe they are to die for!
tip: book so as to not be disappointed.

oh one more thing only downfall with the place is its way to small for how popular it is. they really need to expand.

awesome food an coffees.javahut rocks

gem in the middle of gawler. we found this place when we were driving around gawler looking for breakfast a couple of weeks ago. the 'big breakfast' for under $10 caught our eye as my friend always has that when it's on offer.

it's been interesting comparing the different ideas of what a big breakfast is. thejavahut did not let us down. there was no half a sausage sitting forlorn wondering what happened to it's mate. the servings were generous.

my own pancakes were tasty and cooked to perfection.

today, we thought we'd go in and try the lunch menu (despite the fact their breakfast menu goes all day.) i opted for the savoury crepes. hours later my taste buds are still thanking me.

the only thing wrong was once again i forgot to ask for the entree size so it was a little too much for me. i took one bite of the salad and closed my eyes to savour it. i haven't had a salad that fresh in quite a while.

the customer service was great. always friendly and full of smiles.

but the prices here... amazing. highly recommend it to anyone who just wants good food for a good price in a good atmosphere.

it's a great place to stop for breakfast on your way out to the barossa, or on the way home from a day out wine tasting.

in our travels we've been to many places trying them all out. thejavahut is the only place we've been back to twice.

great value, great service, just needs a polish.. thejavahut is one of those places you just can't help but love.

i first experienced it for breakfast one sunday morning. the value for money was astounding. big meals, beautifully cooked, friendly service and so cheap.

i honestly don't know how they do it, the food is excellent value.

it's a small place, but the tables are well spaced out so you're not crawling over other diners every time you move. on the two occasions i've visited, there have been plenty of servers... i don't think today's compliment had a person over 25!

there is a kind of charm to the hideous decorations (what is with those brass monkeys?), but the kitchen is open to the dining area and the bright stainless steel gives a feeling of cleanliness and professionalism.

the plastic coated menus are worn and tired. but the tables and chairs are neat and clean.

the food is glorious. each meal i've had has been cooked perfectly, beautifully seasoned and the serves are plentiful. i enjoyed a beef parmi special today, and the salad was fresh and the sauce tangy and delicious. ignore the weird modern art and the clock from a tim burton movie, and nosh down!

negatives? the main point is one that many resturants seem to suffer from, lack of proper cleaning in the dining area.

while i was dining, the floor was swept, but only in the walking areas. from where i was sitting, under a table near the back of the room, i could see a large stray chip that wasn't seen. when you clean, you need to check under empty tables. a family sat at the table while i was there, and i know (had it been me) i would have been grossed out by old food being under my feet.

another indicator of the laxity of the cleaning schedule is small ledges like power points. the build-up of dust is clearly visible, like a black shroud. this shows a lack of care - it only takes a wipe with a damp cloth to keep things presentable, but the heavy layer of filth showed this hadn't been done for months at least.

the spotless kitchen showed this was an oversight, and not indicative of a larger problem - but still, giving the dining area a good going over once a week should be routine.

country town charm, great meals and friendly service. i'll be back again, worth the drive for sure.
