Love this spot! Unique and hippie vibes. I got the Iced Matcha with a Dubai chocolate concoction. It was a delicious drink. Everyone was friendly. Loved that there are retail areas to look as you wait for your drink to be prepared! read more

Java Jive - Iced Matcha Dubai concoction - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hannibal, Missouri

This place has a lot going for it! The food is really good for starters! They serve breakfast and lunch (and ice cream). Plus, as their namesake...COFFEE! I got a cold brew and it was pretty good. The inside is full of books and art along with tons of spots to sit and enjoy. I love all the mixed tables and chairs!! It looks like they stole all the kitchen tables:chairs from my childhood. With soft blend of music and a TV playing to keep the mood engaging. Everyone was there for something but yet again maybe they were there to find something. Either way, I am sure you can find it here. One concern is that it is a little pricey but you get one trip around the sun. And, since they played Tom Petty, then there is not much to worry about anyhow!! read more

This place is the whole package! Colorful, charming! Pretty much any drink combinations from dirty sodas, coffee concoctions, lemonades, sparkling sodas! They have a ton of sandwiches/wraps/ salads, breakfast choices, and of course ice cream! Part coffee shop/eatery, part gift store! Picture funny towel sayings, trinkets, cat and dog gifts, fun stuff! The drinks were good but a bit too sweet. I had a lavender lemonade with honey boba! My dad a regular lemonade and my daughter Dr. Pepper with cotton candy flavor. We had the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant, a hummus veggie wrap, and a breakfast sandwich. No complaints as they were fresh, big portions, and delicious. Whether you are looking for ice cream, a fun drink, cofantastic pastries, or a fantastic lunch you must stop by! read more

Gave the hotel's free breakfast the go by as it looked just terrible: the towers of children's cereal, the fart muffins wrapped in plastic, etc. So we pushed on to Java Jive. A spacious and well-appointed coffee house that provided a tasty nosh (x2), a hot cup of light blend, the best cortado the Missus has had west of the Mississippi and the prettiest coffee shop bathroom you ever saw. And all for $12.43. An AAR Must Coffee. read more

Came for breakfast yesterday and had the best quiche ever! Came back today for breakfast and had a banana nut muffin equal to my homemade banana bread. Portions are generous. Coffee drinks are all amazing. Everyone in our party was pleased. Panini are very good. There is WiFi and helpful employees. Order at the counter and pick up food when your buzzer goes off. Great eclectic assortment of comfy couches and regular tables. Friendly, neighborhood atmosphere comfortable for visitors and locals alike. Definitely the place for breakfast or a sweet treat. read more

A must stop! Absolutely loved this place; exceptional service, fast friendly and served with a warm smile and lovely conversation. Great shopping experience with a little bit for everyone, with pastries and ice cream selections for everyone. Great old building (dry goods store from the 1800's) creates a great atmosphere. Located down the block from the Mark Twain Museum and a quaint downtown shopping district, this place is a must stop location while visiting the historic home of Mark Twain. Check it out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Right in the heart of downtown Hannibal is not just any coffee shop...Java Jive is an experience. The food is excellent but really love the selection of gifts and fun things to buy! The space is set up where you can have a cozy chat on the couches or hold a small meeting at the various tables. It has wonderful community. read more

Wow, don't miss this! What a unique cafe, with scrumptious desserts. Try the Oreo ball, and ham & cheese quiche. I have never had such a light & fluffy quiche. So tasty! What a great friendly place to stop for breakfast or lunch. Worth going out of your way to visit here. read more

My first "office" of the day, I spent five hours at a table towards the back of the store with a coffee and a laptop and their Internet. Comfortable, mostly quiet and a good space. I bought a coffee and included a refill. The coffee was excellent. Tempted by a croissant, I managed to stick to my program and just drink the coffee. Great space, friendly folks and as the main coffee shop along the center of Hannibal, quite busy. [Review 19724 overall - 201 in Missouri - 696 of 2023.] read more

This is such a great find! Our second time here (a couple years between visits), and food/service still top notch. Check out their menu for the full array, but salads, bowls, wraps, etc--plus a variety of coffee/tea options, desserts & boba too. Plus--fun things to shop as well! A variety of searing options--great for families, groups, or singles looking to sit & read! read more

Adorable coffee shop painted with all the fun colors, inside and out. This was our first stop as we drove into town (imagine that), you could tell this store was loved by locals as much as travelers. We picked out a few trinkets while we waited for our coffee order. Great little gift store inside. The cold rainy day could've had us hunkered down inside, but with only a day to explore we sat for a moment in one of the hodgepodge chairs and made a plan. I ordered the Snickers and the Husband ordered the Almond Joy. Warm and delicious. A bit on the sweet side for me as a normal drink, but could always alter it with the nice baristas. The perfect small town coffee shop! read more

I had the Caesar Wrap and my two friends had sandwiches. Service was good and food was excellent.

First time visiting Hannibal and I stumbled upon Java Jive and instantly obsessed. The inside was so cozy and filled with trinkets. The menu was awesome for a lunch spot. We tried the soup, sand which and a wrap. They all were so good. On the way out, we got a coffee and pasty which was a homemade pop tart and almond joy iced latte. The service was great and the atmosphere was even better. Now if I return to Hannibal, I know what will be on the list to stop at. read more

Food was good ... we had the bacon ranch salad and the Rockwell sandwich. Serving size was quite large and filling. Staff were very friendly! read more

LOVED the bacon cream cheese toast! The sausage quiche was very eggy, light on sausage, cheese, and flavor. My husband got the potato wrap. He thought he ordered the potato bowl, but something was miscommunicated. Oh well. He liked the wrap. You order at the counter, grab a table, and wait for a buzzer to let you know your food is ready. Then you go to the back of the store area to get your food. No one comes around to offer drink refills or check on you. Fun and quirky place! We'd definitely go again! read more

Hopping place in town! Was much larger than expected. Lots of room to visit or play games with the family. Also much more than a coffee shop! Staff did a wonderful job meeting our requests. read more

I stopped by here earlier today. It is a super cute location and such a wonderful aesthetic. It really gave me such a good vibe. The outside is super colorful and inside has so many knickknacks and books to buy. They have indoor seating at little cute tables also outdoor seating. And they only have street parking. There is so much stuff to look at inside. They have coffee, ice cream, pastries, soups and sandwiches. I ordered a vanilla iced coffee which was super good. I also ordered a soup of the day which was a cabbage roll soup. I absolutely loved it. They also gave me a little roll and some crackers. I had also ordered one of their apple crumb cream cheese slices. I am not a big fan of apple slices in my desserts but this was so good. The apple crumb on top and the crust of it was so bomb. I will totally be going back to this place. It is going to turn to my go to place while I am here. read more

Java jive is a wonderful coffee shop that has a lot more than just coffee to offer. There are our paintings on the wall that you can purchase and local pottery to be sold. They have funny greeting cards in the back. I would recommend going there. Sometimes I drive to Hannibal, an hour and a half away Just to pick up a couple bags of coffee from there. read more

Loved the food and service. The atmosphere was eclectic and cozy. However, one of the employees must have had their kids sitting there while they were on the clock. One of the kids was on the phone and had it on speaker. They were talking with someone using crude and gross language. I asked them to turn it down or hang up. They kept talking and I walked up and asked again. When the kid started cursing at me, I went to an employee. They couldn't control their kids who kept cursing, throwing things and yelling even when they went outside. Shameful representative of this business for a first time customer. For someone who plans on being in the area for a long time, there are many other options in the area read more

My mother, my wife, and I saw this place last Saturday in between the Mark Twain Museum Gallery and the Mark Twain Boyhood Home so we stepped inside and ordered lunch and drinks. This place claims to be the first coffee house west of the Mississippi which we believed given how well kept their historic building is but the website says it was established in 2000. Anyways, there are plenty of amazing food and drink options and a great deal of comfortable seating as well. My wife and I shared a Red Velvet Latte and a a Cotton Candy Lotus to drink with a Turkey Chipotle Panini with an Orzo Pasta Salad on the side and a half and half of the Pollock Salad and Frida Sandwich. They also have great vegetarian options which my mother enjoyed. The service was fast and friendly. This is definitely a great surprise for such a small town and we highly recommend it for anyone coming to Hannibal or stopping by. read more

We stopped in for an iced coffee in the morning, went back for a great selection of tasty sandwiches for lunch, then back again for the cheesecake that was calling our name all day. Everything was great including the cute mismatched tables, chairs on the sidewalk to enjoy Main St. and friendly staff at the counter. read more

Awesome vibes! Great selection of drinks and snacks. The gift shop has a lot to offer and is unique. Wide open space to sit and enjoy.

Had cold brew with a sugar free flavoring. Just wish they had more sugar free flavorings. The cold brew itself is pretty good. But that Cannoli Cream Pie? Unbelievably GOOD!!! And a really cute place. read more

Such a fun place! We stopped in for coffee and boba. Great value, fun vibes. Worth the stop!

This was our first visit to Hannibal, and while we enjoyed walking through downtown, we actually came over to walk through Sodalis Nature Reserve. After our walk we stopped by Java Jive for lunch. I ordered the Harper Lee Wrap and was asked if I would like to upgrade the chips to a side salad. Ummmm, yes please. On a side note, I am always a little leery about side salads in restaurants only because there may not be anything worse than getting a small plate of iceberg bag salad and a plastic packet of Kraft dressing. But I figured, I was gambling with a chips substitution so I went for it. My gambling returns were pretty big this time as I received a healthy portion of leafy greens with some vegetables and homemade croutons in a take out box. Not to mention the delicious chipotle ranch dressing on the side that may have been house made. If it wasn't, I was fooled. The wrap was fresh and filling. I had no problem eating all of it, but I sure could've saved some for later. My husband got the Rockwell sandwich and thought it was delicious. The meats and cheeses were most definitely piled high and served in between two thick, fresh slices of bread. I also enjoyed browsing the items on display in the store area. Local artisans show off their wares and you can tell they are crafted with love. All in all, this was a great place to stop for lunch. I'm glad we did. The girls working the front counter were very personable which contributed to this 5 star review. Whoops. My husband reminded me to mention the chocolate chip cookie that he got for dessert. He said it was just soft enough to be perfectly delicious. read more

I love coffee. I love tea. Ok, i don't love coffee, but I do love the Ink Spots. And I liked Java Jive. They are serious about Covid and take all precautions. Beyond that, good republic of tea, coffee (I'm told) and other drinks. Plenty of shopping to be done. Gifts and games and things. A large second room is where the socially distant seating is. read more

We were in desperate need of coffee on the final day of our three day road trip so I found Java Jive on Yelp. It was the pick me up we needed! The pumpkin flavoring in the cappuccino was insanely good. Everyone was practicing social distancing and wearing masks. Java Jive seems like it would be a great place to settle in for the day and get some work done. Lots of comfy seats and tables. read more

Excellent coffee in a very cool atmosphere. Lots of places inside and outside to sit, and lots of items to browse while you wait. Did not get any food but saw that all their sandwiches can be made gluten free! read more

Stopped in Hannibal as we were headed back to KC. Fun little downtown area with color and character charm. The service was good and the flow of traffic pretty steady causing us a bit of a wait on our drinks but the old time soda shop pharmacy feels had plenty of memorabilia to look through as we waited. Our Coffee choices were pretty simple ones but they were good. read more

Vulcan dark roast is great. They give you a cup you fill yourself, and the line to get a cup to fill myself was short so service was good. The ambiance looked like an interesting place but I didn't sit down. read more

Food was cold and has no flavor at all. It's self service- so there's that. Trying to be a quirky Coffeen shop / bookstore place. Not sure how they stay in business. Staff has attitude- like as a visitor you should know how it works. Your northern Missouri, not east coast urban read more

I love this place. My favorite coffee shop in Hannibal. They have the best coffee in town. I love going here because their baristas are super nice and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming.

A hidden jewel in Historical Hannibal.. awesome food and the atmosphere was great. Price was right.

We stayed in an air bnb downtown and walked here every morning for breakfast and i even grabbed lunch there one day. Lots to look at while you wait for your food. The menu has some great options - healthy or indulgent, they have something for you! They sell my favorite teas (republic of tea) and my daughter loved the frappe ones.... read more

Delicious food, quick and friendly. Great comfortable place! Java Jive wonderful assortment.

Delicious desserts served here! We had chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, German chocolate pecan pie, and shipwreck ice cream. All three were fantastic, and very large servings- perfect to share! The employees were very sweet and helpful- and patient- it took us awhile to decide on our order because there is A LOT to choose from! The restaurant also serves wraps and other foods which looked fabulous, too. The entire restaurant was super peaceful and a pleasant, quiet space to visit and dine. There is real art on the walls and an eclectic assortment of furniture available. You can sit in an area with leather furniture that feels like a living room, a dining table, a high top old fashioned ice cream table, or any number of other spaces. read more
