Javastop — Restaurant in Longmont

Wow! Had no idea this little gem was here! Truly one of the best kept secrets in Longmont. Tucked away in the Chinese Panda building on the corner of Main Street and 3rd, is an awesome, one of a kind, coffee shop called Java Stop. ☕ Now, it was a bit confusing to find out how to get into the little tucked away place as you have to basically go in what to me was the side door, right before the steps go down to the Speak Easy bar. You basically walk in if and don't see any coffee shop when you open the door. I saw a gentlemen eating lunch at table. We asked him if this is where Java Stop is, he directed us "go down the hall and it's to your left. " A little bit weird for this CA girl who moved here a year ago, but SO glad I ventured into new territory. It's a cool, old, building and behold there it was. I opened the door into what appeared to be another Era. Inside was an eclectically arranged coffee shop with books, nooks, and crannies. Surprising to me, as it was hard to find initially, was an awesome, a bit contemporary and old- fashioned hide away. Old Victorian chairs, mixed with more current wooden tables and chairs, nooks with books, quite a few people, all doing something different in corners and tuck-aways... reading, visiting with a friend, or catching up on computer work. I instantly fell in love with everything. A hide away where nobody will find you plus amazing coffee and tea drink choices and yummy treat options. In talking to the owner, Curt, this gem has been here 31 years!! He is the new owner as of 3 years ago and is obviously doing a smashing success! I get nervous trying to find and go to new places. 😬 BUT, PLEASE, if you haven't tried Java Stop, move outside your comfort zone a tad and give this gem a try. He was so welcoming. Thank you Curt for your warm welcome and I will be there...

My go to cafe! Not only does the food and drink never disappoint, but the atmosphere is incredible! Super inclusive, fun, and cozy. The atmosphere is almost like cafe in a fantasy world - with gnomes hidden in strange places; Tall windows decorated with stained glass, plants, and little charms. The other customers are very inclusive, always making me feel comfortable. There are lots of eclectic wing chairs and tables that allow you to choose a private seat or something open to admire the fun decor. There are also great tables outside with umbrellas and trees for shade. There's even a little library and game shelf. I've seen people playing all sorts of games here. I even bring clients here for work meetings since it's always a hit.

My partner is vegan and I have a lot of dietary restrictions: There are plenty of dairy free drinks options, a great tea selection, great coffee, freshly baked in house goods (very generous portions), a vegan date bar that's amazing, and the staff has always been super kind and accommodating to any dietary restrictions for us or friends....

Fantastic spot to go hang out with friends, family or by yourself to relax with good music and even better food and coffee. The atmosphere is awesome and such a unique look, not what you’d expect until you experience it yourself. The employees are attentive and do their job well, always making sure dishes and tables are clean for new customers to come in to sit. Even during the busy time they strive to make sure the environment is relaxed and clean and that everyone is taken care of in a timely manner. The coffee is fantastic, I’ve tried different flavors they’ve been delicious every-time, even their Italian soda which my husband loves and the breakfast burrito is to die for especially in the morning when you need a quick pick me up. I personally love the little nook to the side, a great location to sit and read or work. Even better; during the summer they have outside seating so even your beloved pups can come with! Which mine do indeed love. Will come back every...
