Customer Reviews

Different sandwich than I anticipated. Little meat with very basic everything bagel. I am sure the drink options are a better way to go. Keep supporting business in Needles.

This place is such a hidden gem! Worth going out of the way to make a stop! We tried the snickers coffee and sour gummy worm ice! Both were fantastic ?? we will definitely be back!

This place was so cute and fun! We loved our coffees and the barista was very friendly! They had a BUTTER BEER flavored latte!!! I hope I get a chance to get another one before we leave! ??

Made a pitstop here while driving route 66. What a great blend of arcade games, delicious coffee, awesome sandwiches and superfriendly owner. Highly recommended !!

Take coffee, old school arcade games, a pool table, a nice barista who makes delicious coffee drinks, mix all that together and what do you get? You get Jolted Coffee Arcade! Just stopped in Needles by chance and was happy that this place is here.

Absolutely the best. Loved it and recommend. Thank you guys you are AMAZING!

An excellent place for teenagers or families with kids to hang out. There are arcade games, an air hockey table, and a pool table. Reasonable prices and delicious drinks! Locals also get a discount! The watermelon slushie was delicious! We stayed and played a few rounds of pool. My only wish is that they were open early so I could make them a part of my work morning commute routine. I highly recommend!

My first time I had a white mocha blaster and it was delicious. This most recent visit I created my own Jolted ice which was kiwi banana and I have to say it definitely did not disappoint! The barista was very sweet and patient while I took my time deciding on what to drink! Arcade games were a blast and so were the pool tables! Would definitely recommend to everyone!!

Hidden gem!! Great place to reward the kids ifchores get done with no complainin'... spacious spot with a/c, arcade games, pool table and super fun drinks. Our H Street Patient Care loves their delicious coffee drinks weekly and even have Keto options for me! Love this little cute family owned and operated Mom and Pop shop, truly is a hidden gem.

I've went a few times and every drink I have tried has been so yummy! Love the arcade games for the kids to play! Definitely recommending to everyone I know! Can't wait to try something new next time!

If you're just passing through, hold out till the next stop. Smelled weird, not like coffee. Iced latte tastes super synthetic. Super friendly, but not good coffee.

Ashley is a great barista! Very friendly and nice. Very cool arcade with old school pac man and other games. Amazing drinks and amazing prices!

Excellent service and wonderful coffee! The barista was very friendly and this will definitely become a go-to coffee stop when I'm in the area. Great prices too!

Super nice staff. Quirky, fun environment. Lots of drink selections. Coffee and non-coffee drinks. I ordered a butter beer latte. Iced and hot coffees available. Cute selection of gifts, tumblers, and snacks.

Cute shop. Super cool barista!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
