Port City Java - Market Street location

2099 Market Street

Google Maps


Location
***
Market Street is a major access road to get you from one end of town to the other. So if you are coming/going to downtown this is a good location for you. But, really, you could drive a couple more miles and be in a more scenic area.

Parking
*****
Large parking lot with plenty of spots

View

Next to the hussle and bustle of Market Street

Wifi Strength
****
No issues with connectivity. The only issues I had were dropped calls on my Verizon phone. No bars for me along this pocket of Market Street.

Comfort
**
If you are lucky enough to score one of the three booths, you will be quite comfy. There are a couple of easy chairs and half a dozen tables. We moved to a booth once one opened. Folks here are very likely to hunker down, so don't expect a lot of table/booth turn-over.

Distraction Level
***
This is a very busy location. Great for PCJ business, not so great if you want a quiet spot.

Outlet availability
****
There are plenty of outlets if you need to recharge your battery or phone.

Service/Staff
***
Most of the many times I have been here the staff is very friendly. This morning, the gal taking our order seemed to take out her bad mood on her customers. We'll give it a pass this time, but perhaps she should just stick to the less customer facing drive-thru.

Outdoor options
****
Plenty of outdoor seating if you want to work outside.

Price

***
$4+ for flavored coffees, espresso drinks

Food Choice
Standard coffee-house fair - muffins, wraps. Their coffee cake is our fave.

Hours
Opens at 6am

Special Notes
This PCJ location is definitely not going to win the "white glove test". Lots of dust, scuffs, and scratches around the room. For its "flagship" location, given its location next to the corporate office (though they just relocated), you would think they'd at least give it a much-needed paint job.
