However, the undisputed crown jewel of Molten Java's menu has to be their irresistible bread pudding.

The pudding is beautifully soft and moist, encased in a crisp, golden crust that provides the perfect textural contrast. This divine bread alone is worth the trip, but when paired with their exceptional coffee, it creates a symphony of flavors that elevates your visit to Molten Java from a simple café stop to a truly memorable...

Wonderful, kinda hippy-dippy in a fun way coffee shop that also serves breakfast and lunch. The coffee (and tea and other really creative drinks) is the best around, and the food is top notch. Lining the shelves you'll find unique holiday cards as well as hand made toys that you simply will not find anywhere else. Its really a fun and unique place with excellent food and drink.

They are very virus careful here so safety is not a concern. The indoor seating is not available but they do have tables on the front porch (yes - front porch, its a converted house) as well as outdoor seating with umbrellas where you can do quite a bit of people watching from. I love grabbing some coffee and breakfast and relaxing on the front porch while reading the paper - feels kind of Norman Rockwell-ish.

Like any privately-owned restaurant these days they can use as much support as possible so next time you're headed out for a cup of Joe or a sandwich consider...

Being from the Brewster area, I’m always looking for a new coffee experience. I was planning on doing some shopping in and around CT, and decided to start my day off at Molten Java. The live music outside combined with the cozy, 70’s-style interior was a great start to my Saturday. This is definitely an enjoyable place to hang out, sip on coffee, and enjoy a book.

With all of that being said, I wasn’t overly impressed with the coffee here. I ordered a Blueberry Muffin and their famed Turkish Coffee—I couldn’t say no to hints of cardamom, cinnamon, and vanilla. While the coffee was fresh and quite good, I expected an exotic, spiced base, similar to a Chai Tea Latte. Instead, I got an average cup of joe that was good, but I wouldn’t be writing home about.

Atmosphere alone, I’d be happy to stop by Molten Java again. I’m just hoping the next time I stop in that I’ll be a tad more impressed with what they...
