We stopped at Java Lava Cafe for breakfast on our way to Denver, and it ended up being one of the best stops of our trip.
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful right from the start--especially when my wife was deciding what to order. They even suggested the option of getting a half burrito for half the price, which was a great tip and much appreciated.
She went with the Mama's Burrito (with bacon), and I had the Christy Breakfast Burrito. We both had ours smothered in the green chile (pork) sauce--highly recommend. Both were excellent. The chorizo in the Christy was especially well done--full of flavor without being greasy. My wife loved hers, and the half portion ended up being perfect.
We also had coconut lattes, which were smooth and really well balanced.
Even though you order at the counter, the staff checked in on us several times, which added a nice personal touch.
The space is bright and welcoming with lots of natural light. It's in a strip mall, but being on the end gives it a more open feel. The Southwest, slightly kitschy décor fits the vibe well.
We noticed a steady stream of regulars and to-go orders, which says a lot. Places don't stay busy--or around this long--without doing things right.
If you're anywhere near Granby, this place is absolutely worth a stop. read more
