Kuppa Joy - The Joy Thru Visalia Reviews
This place is amazing and don’t let the long lines fool you. They are actually quite quick compared to Starbucks or Dutch Bros. I tend to get the same coffee every time either iced or hot, but consistency is key because it always tastes amazing. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. You can feel the passion and joy in every interaction. They have 2 drive thru lanes, walk up service and some tables to just relax with your cup of Joe. So check them out.
I recently visited this drive-through café with my family, and I’m so glad I did! As someone who just moved to the area, I’ve been struggling to find a coffee shop that meets my standards, especially since my espresso machine broke. This place was a lifesaver! I ordered a latte, and while it was on the sweeter side, it was absolutely delicious—rich, smooth, and exactly what I needed. The baked goods were also fantastic! I picked up a variety to share with friends we were visiting, and they loved the scones. The only suggestion I have is to improve the signage around the drive-through area. There are two separate entrances and windows, but it wasn’t immediately clear. My family and I, along with several other cars, ended up waiting in one line for about 30 minutes before realizing there was a second option. Better signage could really help streamline the process for both customers and staff. Overall, this is a fantastic spot with great espresso and tasty treats. I’ll definitely be back soon!
Came here today for the first time because we’ve never been! There is always usually a long line outside when we drive by. Waiting in their drive thru, we were told there was a 2nd lane so we got to order fast ! PS: I wish they had a sign that directed customers towards that 2nd lane because you would never know it’s there unless you’ve been here before. We ordered the Bouquet Latte and the Hallelujah. Our order was made quickly. First sip of the Hallelujah made us scream HALLELUJAH! It was soooooo gooooood. To me it tasted like caramel sweet cream. The bouquet latte however, lacked taste. It tasted like watered down milk with a hint of oranges - a disappointment. Would definitely come here again, but for the Hallelujah and would definitely try the other drinks. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Come try them out !
Great coffee & food selection. Their cookies are so delicious - must try! Their breakfast food selection is yummy. Super Friendly staff - very knowledgeable about their drinks. Quick drive thru experience.
The drinks were great (had a decaf kuppa joy with oat milk and it tasted like chocolate milk with coffee), and the service was great! the girl who helped us was super nice

Stopped by Kuppa Joy on my way out from a Dr. appointment. I was blown away; I am a Starbucks connoisseur, but this little gem impressed me with its taste and service. The young lady who assisted us was very accommodating and friendly. My husband wanted to try the Hallelujah (White Chocolate, Vanilla, and Cinnamon) but preferred it not too sweet. She made it perfectly, 1/3 sweet and with a Triple Shot. I ordered the Amazing Grace (White Chocolate, Vanilla, and Lavender) topped with Amazing Grace Cold Foam. Omg, it is so delicious. Whenever we visit Visalia, Kuppa Joy will definitely be on our to-go list.
My Favorite coffee spot ! I moved away three years ago and every time I come into town I will drive 45 min out of my way to grab a cup of coffee !! It’s always crowded, but it just means people love their drinks !! It’s absolutely my favorite!
Wonderful, nice clean establishment, friendly helpful staff, great customer service, and good coffee! I had ordered a matcha latte and a coffee, both were good, and the staff made suggestions as to what else I might like.
I went for the first time today because i have been seeing them on tiktok. The coffee is amazing! I got the halleluiah and it was so good. I just wish the large was a little bigger for the price but i still loved it.
This is such a great hidden gem in Visalia! I love how convenient it is to order through their App while earning points towards a free drink. I order from here multiple times a week. They serve the best coffee, and their Chicken Artichoke Panini is so delicious. I appreciate how kind and friendly their staff is. They always have a smile on their faces and are so friendly. The staff appears to enjoy working at Kuppa Joy and serving their customers. I highly recommend this place!
Friendly Staff- Yummy drinks I had a great first time experience. I ordered the bouquet latte and Oreo frap. I mistakenly assumed the latte came with cold foam. When I asked the barista she took it back no problem and added cold foam as well as recommending her favorite cold foam. I loved my drink. I believe i would have liked it without the cold foam but I’m glad I got it with. It was DELICIOUS! The prices are reasonable as well.
Been here twice in the past week now, got to say as for now they definetly deserve a 5 star. The Hallelujah is absolutely delicious. I was recommended this place and was told it was the best coffee in town, I’m pretty picky but man that first sip, in fact the whole coffee was so good you’ll cherish every sip.
The Kuppa Heaven with an extra shot of espresso is my favorite but I've enjoyed everything I've had here! This place is my go to anytime I'm in the area. I love the story behind this coffee shop as well! Hallelujah!
Coffee here is great! I like the Hallelujah. My favorite coffee shop by far! As far as the atmosphere it is drive through, I didn't rate. Customer service is great! I recommend this place to anyone.
So although a couple of times I wasn't too happy with my drinks from this place. I got two iced coffees on two different occasions and they tasted watered down. Anyway, my daughter gave me a gift card from here because her experience was so good she wanted to share it with me. Try it again risk free? Why not? Their Almond Joy hot or cold tastes like an Almond Joy. Their hot Hallelujah tastes like a Snickerdoodle which I absolutely love! And their regular drip coffee is divine! I drink it as it is because it has so much flavor on its own with a delicious crema, I was impressed! When I'm in the mood for some good coffee I will be coming here.

As much as I love the coffee here. Portions are way too small and pricey. We got two twenty ounce drinks. I wish I was exaggerating but three sips and they were gone. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a sipper. I even use a frost buddy to keep my drinks in. I can get a drink at 730am and have it until 6pm. (Just so you know I'm not just a chugger ) It also takes quite a bit in the drive through even with two lanes. One not open most times I've been. So $6 for three sips...I'll probably continue to pay $7.50 for 32oz at other locations.
I give this a 2 star cause I order hallelujah drink it was to sweet and it didn’t taste like coffee like in the middle of balance of the taste but the kuppa joy was pretty good the customer were pretty nice but pricey.
Match was not good at all, barely any matcha flavor, and lacking sweetness. Breakfast panini was pretty good though, would have likes more ham and egg to bread ratio.
I went to kuppa joy today and ordered a small Oreo frappe and it took such a long time to get it with nobody behind me and the drink has no taste whatsoever it just tastes like water and milk mixed together there was not even any pieces of Oreos in it plus had no Oreo flavor I'm not sure if the drink is supposed to taste like this but it was a very tasteless drink. Possibly not coming again

We’re visiting from out of state and wanted to try some coffee. The coffee shop is cute and the staff were friendly but the coffee was not good. We ordered a vanilla latte and it tasted just like milk. We ordered 2 other drinks for our family and they did not like their drinks either.
Kuppa disappointment. First time trying Visalia location. I had a breakfast burrito and regular cup of coffee. The burrito was very bland and tasteless. The sauces they charge for to go with the burrito were horrible. By the way the tasteless burrito was over $8. It contained potatoes eggs and cheese and I was told that they were made fresh. Starbucks sausage, egg and bacon wrap way better and is a frozen product. The coffee had cream and I asked for sweet n low or Splenda. Of course they dont carry any. The coffee had no taste. It was like drinking cream only. Zack you really need to be better with product control. First and last time. I had to stomach both on the way to Morro Bay.
