LilJumbo Coffee Company and Cafe — Restaurant in Maysville

Waking up in Maysville, there weren’t a lot of espresso options, but we like to try different non-chain places while we’re on vacation, and this one got really good reviews. It’s in a historic building on a street of historic buildings, so it was a little hard to find initially, and also not much in the way of street parking (luckily, a local told us where the café was and gave us his parking spot as he was leaving). The place is very well done, with nice décor matching the theme of the historic building. We also liked the pastries on display on the counter. We really liked the scone; a good balance of crumble and moist with a hint of subtle sweetness. The cinnamon roll had great flavor, but was a little tiny bit on the dense side. Unfortunately, the vanilla lattes weren’t great. Even with extra espresso shots added, the coffee was weak and tasted more like drip than espresso (probably due to beans not being ground fine enough). I’m still giving it a 5 star rating, because the coffee was good enough, the pastries were excellent, and our experience there...

Beyond spectacular!!!!! It’s evident these owners and staff know food and love people, because you can taste it in every bite! Authentic New York style pizza-I could cry!! (Just found them on Facebook the other day and as a Facebook lackey I may be reformed!) Hands down the best thing I’ve eaten in Maysville in the four years since we relocated here. The refined flavor profiles were thoughtfully planed with locally sourced ingredients. We got the Sorry not Sorry Mushroom, Three little pigs, and a Supreme- I guarantee there will be fights for what is leftover (which isn’t much because it’s just that good). And don’t tell the kids, because you won’t want to share, but the buttery, chocolate chip cookies with flake salt on top could seriously solve any bad mood…maybe you should share with the kids, the neighbors, and coworkers-get several dozen and make everyone’s week! Can’t wait to go back and see what other delicious...

My husband and I were traveling through the area and decided to make a stop for a late breakfast. LilJumbo had good reviews so we landed there. The first thing I noticed was how beautiful the building was. As we walked in, I could hear the music playing (which is a fantastic mix) and could see the small line formed. All of the different artwork on the wall was the best. I had a Chai Latte and biscuit and gravy and my husband had some juice and a sausage/egg biscuit, and we shared a cinnamon roll. Everything was delicious, perfectly hot, and fresh. Something I noticed that was so interesting to me was the age differences. All ages were there enjoying the unique art, great music, and familiar faces. Sometimes particular styles seem to attract different age groups but this wasn't it. People just seemed to know each other, and even remembered previous orders of customers. It was just comfortable....
