But the most important thing is they have good coffee and a bunch of options of drinks! Also they have a BBQ place right beside them too.

Do yourself a favor...get coffee here!!! Melancholy Roasting…read morein Ava, Missouri deserves every bit of a five‑star shoutout. The moment you walk in, you feel that perfect blend of small‑town warmth and genuine craft coffee culture. The aroma alone could fix a bad day -- rich, toasty, and clearly roasted with intention. Their beans have this depth you don't usually find outside big‑city specialty shops. Smooth, balanced, and full of character. Whether you're grabbing a simple drip or something more adventurous, everything tastes like it was made by someone who truly cares about the craft. The atmosphere is relaxed in the best way -- cozy without feeling cramped, welcoming without trying too hard. It's the kind of place where you can settle in with a book, meet a friend, or just enjoy a quiet moment with a seriously good cup of coffee. If you're anywhere near Ava, this spot is absolutely worth the stop. Melancholy Roasting is one of those rare gems that makes a town feel more like home.

And apparently, that's something they hear pretty often from customers. They have some pretty interesting flavors such as Orange Cream, Eggnog, Strawberry, Root Beer Float, as well as the more typical ones such as Chocolate, Whole & Creamline, 2%, and Skim. I've only had their chocolate milk, and it's delicious! Rich and creamy and it comes in these awesome glass bottles, not those plastic milk cartons! When you buy their milk from the store, you just pay a bottle deposit, which you get back when you return the bottle. I only wish they delivered as far as Colorado :(

I bought my first bottle of OMC milk recently and am a huge fan of the freshness and overall taste of it. I use the pink top or the cream line as it is labeled. I was using powdered creamer in my coffee but have switched to this instead. This milk does not have any chance of expiring in my fridge. By the glass full or on my cereal or in my coffee; it tastes rich and creamy. It also does not have that blue look to it like the stuff in those plastic jugs. I like it and when Officer Lynch likes something, it stays liked.

Delicious brownies; good coffee; great service…read more My husband and I needed a break and some coffee while driving on Highway 63 in central Missouri. We were looking for a different bakery that apparently went out of business. We just happened to walk past this shop. We asked a woman sitting outside where we could get coffee, and she pointed inside the door of this shop. We asked some people working inside if they had coffee. Marcie immediately said she would make a fresh pot, and asked us to sit down. We sat down at one of the small tables. I looked in the bakery case, and saw some delicious-looking brownies. I told Marcie we would like two brownies. Marcie said that those brownies were a couple days old, but she had a new batch that was fresh out of the oven, and would we like a couple of those. We said yes. She gave us a choice of nuts or no nuts, and inside or edge brownies. We went for inside, with nuts. The brownies were warm, chewy and delicious. We spent the next 30-45 minutes talking with Marcie. She had recently returned to the Houston after living in San Francisco a few years. Marcie told us about starting the bakery within this storefront, which also offered crafts and essential oils made within a 30 mile radius. She told us about making cupcakes for a community event, someone's wedding cake, and other offerings. A local come in for coffee and some more fudge. We talked with him too. When we left Marcie gave us some free coconut caramel bars. Three things really impressed me about this shop. One is that instead of offering us older brownies and coffee, she offered us the freshest and very best. Second, the brownies were scrumptious and the coffee was very good. She plans to later offer a full service coffee bar. Third, we had a great time talking with Marcie and learning about life in Houston. What a welcome break from hours of highway driving., The bakery shop is not large, nor the selection huge, but our visit there was memorable. We will definitely return if we pass through Houston again.
