CJ’s Coffee Cafe

Went there for the first time this week. The food was fantastic, music was great, mellow atmosphere, awesome service. I WILL be back! This place is a local gem!

Love this place! The employees are always friendly and very helpful. The food is homemade and fresh. I’ve never tried a dish that wasn’t wonderful. If you’re not sure about what to order, just ask them. They offer great suggestions about their drinks & food. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Lunch on the patio is always nice.

Onstar took me to the wrong address, but I was desperate for coffee and drove around some more to find this gem. So glad I did. Their coffee is far better than that famous place, a smooth roast that doesn’t taste bitter at all. The service is prompt and friendly, and the décor is funky, in a good way. I didn’t eat anything, but what I saw other diners getting looked and smelled terrific. If I’m ever in Dennison again, I will definitely return.

I’m giving this place five stars MAINLY because of the atmosphere and the owners who are so kind and make the experience a great one. The food is decent, prices are decent, coffee is decent. It’s a good place to go to relax or study.

A wonderful place to grab a bite during lunch hours. I was surprised at how well the chicken breast was prepared and the bread was unbelievably amazing. What I would give for the recipe. The service was quick and we were in and out. The place is quaint with a nice front patio section as well.

Food is unique and very good. Blt is awesome. Coffee is very good. I would recommend highly for coffe drinkers who like good bold flavors.

CJ’s Café is a cute little spot with great art. If you’re a coffee person, then this is the place for you! They have a variety of coffees and sandwiches. You can sit by the window and catch a glimpse of its beautiful town.

If you love quaint lil cafés with amazing coffee, come here! This sweet spot not only has good coffee and creative sandwiches, the servers know their stuff.
The young lady who took our order let me explain the type of coffee I drink at home, recommended one here and it was probably the best match I ever had in regards to coffee.
I had the Turkey Breast sandwich and a «Shot in the dark.» YUM!

Visiting from out-​of-​town and needed a wifi connection, so I went to this place instead of driving to Panera as it is closer to where I’m staying. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely come back.
The wifi connection was good, plenty of outlets to plug into and my iced coffee was tasty and not overpriced. While it is not a big place, there is ample seating indoor and out. It seems like the kind of coffee shop you would see in Austin or another major city but situated on Main Street in Downtown Denison. I didn’t try the food but I hear they have really good pie.

Great lunch spot downtown. I have always used the drive-​thru for coffee but had never tried the food. What an amazing lunch we had today out on the covered patio. I had the turkey sandwich on sliced oatwheat bread, dressed with cream cheese, avocado & sprouts. My gal-​pal had the BLTA: bacon, lettuce, tomato & avocado on the same oatwheat bread. Wow. I know I’ll be lunching there quite often from now on.

Perfection on the road. We are just driving through but oh my. The friendly service and fresh food are worth stopping for.

Best dirty chai ever. Aaron is a coffee rock star. True story.

great mocha frappé! Their desserts/​snax are to die for! everything’s so fresh! O, you want a sandwich? No problem! Those are great to, and when you are done, you can walk around to the awesome antique stores nearby!

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 and watch life 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.

This is a wonderful place for coffee and a sandwich. In fact it is my favorite. Staff is great too!

Neat atmosphere, great staff, good food and drinks. Enjoyed the dirty chai and baked oatmeal. Will return!

Very nice little coffee shop in downtown Denison. They offer good selection of coffee and a good lunch menu. I like places like this and I like to support local businesses.

What a gem in the heart of downtown. Love it!

Country Java is a one of a kind dining experience. The great staff is friendly and caring. They have the best smoothies around and a great selection of coffee drinks. If you want to try something different check out their Italian sodas. Not only do they have a great beverage selection they also have a fantastic assortment of soups, sandwiches, and salads all of which are superb. If you are around Sherman or Denison you have to stop in you won’t regret it and you’ll make some new friends in the process.
