The Java Break Cafe - Lawrence

Quaint little locally owned coffee shop. Quintessential Lawrence. Good espresso! Good selection of coffee friendly service.

Use to go here in college all the time (2006ish), took a visit there the other day. Still very familiar, still rocking the Julep. Lots of nostalgia. Great place.

Java Break has a charming atmosphere, and was one of the first coffee shops I visited in Lawrence. Their baked goods are always fantastic, and I enjoy their sodas and seasonal apple cider. The service tends to be amazing, though I did get snapped at once by one of the employees for not speaking loud enough when ordering.

Delicious beverages and pastries—-just like I remember from the mid to late 90s while at KU. Same owner and exceptional service persist.

This is a local gem. I'm way past my college days, but if I had to study somewhere, this would be the place. Love the outdoor seating and the staff is always wonderfully friendly. It's quirky-cute inside. My favorite drinks are the Lieutenant Dan and the choco-mel cold-o-matic.
