Java Saga - Coffee shop in Doraville - 5145 Buford Hwy NE # E, USA

I loved the Taiwanese fried chicken, spicy and not spicy was both great. I wasn’t a big fan of the tiger blood milk, it was too sweet for me but the barista was very sweet and offered to adjust it. After she adjusted, it was still too sweet for me but I felt too bad to ask again. Next time, I would just order the fried chicken! It’s amazing

Award winning fried chicken. Gluten & Dairy free. I'm here a couple of times a week. It's little chicken place, parading as a coffee shop. There are a few seats inside and nice patio for when the weather is good. The staff is friendly. It's cooked to order so it usually takes a few minutes to get your order. I'm addicted to the Chick-bits. They are moist and tender with a crispy crust. I like the spicy seasoning on them with white sauce. I started by eating the chicken cutlet (ji pai) because I read promising reviews in the paper. I would have it with the fries, with Taiwanese seasoning. However, the portions are pretty generous here and I swapped to eating the chick bits to protect my burly figure. If you're a fan of great fries, these are always hot and delicious. They come with a seasoning that's great. If you're dairy free, tell them, the seasoning has some ranch powder. The loaded fries are over the top and more than a meal. He makes a dairy free version for me, which is still creamy with a couple of mayo-based sauces. They compliment the spicy seasoning. They have a creamy coleslaw (bae slaw) which is chunky with a twangy sauce. My favorite is the diakon slaw which is long shreds of horse radish and carrots in a light vinegar dressing. They started as a food truck, having lots of teas and coffee drinks. I've had their citrus and ginger teas in the summer, but in the winter, I focus on the espresso in chai tea. They have other dishes with a Taiwanese flair. However, if this is your first time, you should really try the chicken sandwich or the chick bits. They are tender, delicious and as amazing as the reviews claim.

Delicious!! I randomly decided to come here after driving into the city for an appointment and researching places to try, and this joint did not disappoint! We arrived on Saturday morning, and it was jumping! Lots of people outside sitting down, inside waiting for food and placing orders. DJ took our order, and let me say to the business owner, manager, whoever is in charge that she is a gem!! I don’t know how you found her or if she found you, but you are lucky to have her! She has impeccable customer service and people skills. As I mentioned earlier, it was quite busy at the time we went, and she was a calm in the storm and was a master at keeping the ship in order and running smoothly, ironing out any kinks that may arise with a smile and an expression of gratitude. The service she provided rivaled that of expensive, pretentious restaurants. Next, let’s get into the food—the ABC sandwich. I’m not even a chicken sandwich kind of chick, but this one right here is it! Like, for real. Don’t believe me? Test me. Try it for yourself! The chicken was tender, juicy, and seasoned. The slaw and I don’t even get down with slaw like that either, but it was so fresh with diced apples for additional texture and crunch. The sauce, I don’t know what it is, but it was everything. The pickles were on point. Every aspect of the sandwich was well thought out and top-tier, and when combined, it makes for something oh-so-special! The fries that came with it were not an afterthought. They were on the same wavelength as that fantastic sandwich, and it was all a symphony. My daughter had a pork and rice dish (forgot the name) with cilantro and a fried egg (not pictured) on the side, and that was delectable. Our drinks were also incredible; she had an iced chai latte. And I don’t know what I had to drink, but it was delicious. We enjoyed our food outside, and I loved the little garden in front. I must say that I will drive 35 miles from my house to come here again (coming from the city the drive their was shorter but i still had to get back home 😅)! Keep up the great work, Java Saga; you are the hero in this epic story!

Love this spot! Stopped in for some of the nuggets and fries and it did not disappoint. The seasoning for the nuggets is such a great combo of spices. Making you ready for the next bite. They have some delicious bone in wings too! The portion sizes were very generous as well. Hata was a great touch for a drink as well! We got some coffee for the ride home too. If you are looking for a quick meal Java Saga is the place to go. You can eat outside on the patio or take out to go. Inside is really only for pick up.

I recently tried the ABC chicken sandwich at Java Saga, and it certainly packed a spicy punch. This sandwich was all about simplicity, featuring just the chicken and slaw. The spiciness of the chicken was a standout element, adding a bold and fiery flavor that definitely caught my attention. The heat level was just right for those who enjoy a bit of kick in their meals.

Place was kinda out of the way and a bit isolated, but it did not disappoint let me tell you. The strawberry smoothie was great, sweet and refreshing on a fairly warm day with a windy atmosphere. The food was super good, chicken sandwich overflowing with chicken, like 2x the bun size. Flavor was great, and they gave us tater tots along with it to make it even better. Speaking of which, for the price they sure know their value, and I was truly satisfied in the end. If you want high value for a fair price, I say eat at JavaSaga you will not be disappointed.

The food from here was absolutely amazing. The food is made fresh, so please allow time for them to prepare and have your order ready for you. This is not a fast food restaurant. However, it is worth the wait. I ordered the ABC combo and it was cooked to perfection the seasoned fries are amazing!

I went here after finding this place through social media. Was super impressed with the portion size of the chicken sandwich and the fries. Service was quick. The chicken coating tastes really good and honestly the sandwich was really good cold after I’d put some in the fridge for a while! Give this place a try, they deserve your business!
