Read moreWonderful, 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.

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...
